Xeldrak Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 The challenge is still supported by me I just sometimes need a few days to see new entries once the challenge has been revived once again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damaske Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 No mechjeb? mmm, what aboot those that only use mechjeb as a guidance computer and not for the autopilot features of it? yes yes i know there are "other" mods out there that do that but i don't know nor trust em like i do the good ole mechanical Jebidah! If allowed to use mechjeb, for non-automatic means I might have a go at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeldrak Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Why not simply try it by hand? It's really not that hard, you don't have to trust any mod.....and after all it is a "challenge". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damaske Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I don't know I still crash and burn trying to land on the runway, and mostly use a parachute recovery for my space craft that are not space planes. That and I just HATE HATE HATE the click and drag node setup that is in-game, and mechjebs orbital planner has spoiled me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeldrak Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Well, there is no need to hit the runway - actually you get +5 point for splashing down (landing on the water). I guess the ocean is a big enough target?If you so hate the node setup - burning prograde once the moon rises in low kerbin orbit is still a very effective way to get to the mun Now, this is not Laythe - flying and landing on the Mün by hand is a basic thing and is actually fun. Just try it - I think every KSP vet should be able to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzerknoef Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 My lander needs more tweaking than thought... I think I'm gonna have to do full redesign (already closing to 100 parts for a lander) so it'll probably take some more time before i'll submit my entry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taki117 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 So, I saw this challenge after I started my mission. Now I know it says no mods...but all I have are mods...Can I still post just for funsies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeldrak Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Well you can post it, sure - but you won't get into the leaderboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taki117 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Well you can post it, sure - but you won't get into the leaderboard.I probably won't get onto the leaderboard anyway.

panzerknoef Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Heads up on my mission:I've landed (in one piece) the rover has been deployed and so have the science thinghy's (how far? How much? You'll se eventually). Munar reconaissance is ongoing and i'm gonna take the rover for a nice spin very soon! Back to orbit and so on will happen somewhere this weekend.If you want a somewhat sneak-peek of what rocket I'm using, I'm using an Version 2.0 of my Saturn K rocket (http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/69709-Saturn-K) with a brand new 117 part lander! Both will be uploaded to the forums when I've submitted my entry here Also, my launch was night time, is it okay if I launch a second time (just to orbit not munbound) to show that my rocket is fully functional and everything... I've got some night-time footage aswell but it's very dark (i'll upload it anyway, but place it somewhere in the end of the album)Panzerknoef Edited February 18, 2014 by panzerknoef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyRender Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Even though I did this challenge way back when, I think I may do a reprise once the ARM update comes out. Those new extra-large tanks are looking very tempting, after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeldrak Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Can I still submit or is this challenge dead?Yes, you can still submit.

astrobond Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hi All Late on this challenge, but i was doing a Saturn V like Rocket when i found the link !I just added a little rover, a satellite and 4 experiments, and here is my "Kpollo 15 Full Stock.craft".The video of the full mission very fun to play without any mods: I think i have the 218 points ?Fly safe with Jeb .

lewisd Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I love seeing this challenge still going. It's been almost a year and a half since it started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow88 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) Another entry to keep it going. Strictly speaking, this isn't eligible for the leaderboard, as I used a modded lander can (I can't stand the aesthetics of the stock 2-man can) and no mods are allowed, but that's the only mod I used. Under the scoring system I would have claimed 163 points - all goals achieved except anything to do with a rover or deploying subsidiary satellites.Javascript is disabled.
