MaverickSawyer Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I am guessing that a lot of people here are putting future missions or projects on hold until after 0.21 comes out. I know I am. However, what are some of the smaller or more off-the-wall missions you're doing to pass the time?I'm currently experimenting with cruise missiles and solar escape missions.

-RanZ- Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I haven't had time to play at all for a couple weeks, really getting the itch but may wait till .21 to start again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkshakefiend Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm perfecting my precision landings and constructing a small modular base on the Kerbin north pole. Nothing long term, but I suck at landing subsequent missions close to each other so I figured I'd try and get better at it now before I conquer Duna after the update.

SkyHook Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Well since .craft files won't be broken, I am working on my shuttle fleet. I just had a successful flight that confirmed aerodynamic stability and low-speed performance. All that's left is tweaking reentry profiles, and I can move on to the heavy lift shuttle!

TheHockeyPlayer Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 At the moment, I'm not really doing anything. I accidentally corrupted my age-old save file, so I'm out of luck there. I decided to start a new game and try to land on as many celestial bodies as possible, but I stopped since the update is coming soon.I think that when the update comes out, I'm gonna make it my ultimate goal to plant a flag on every celestial body, discluding Kerbol and Jool. I cannot wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshington Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 From what I've heard it isn't coming out for a week or two, so I'm probably gonna keep playing normally for a week and then wait it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudx Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I've been busy using the MechJeb Integrated Capsules mod (I forget exactly what it was called, but it integrates MechJeb into the default capsules) to construct a microbase on Eeloo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbhead Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 For some reason my KSP has becone unstable, and will occasionally fail to save the game state, along with other weirdness, so I really am waiting for .21 before I do anything big again.

bogpad Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I didn't have time to play for about 2 month now, haven't even tried .20, so now that I have time again, I guess I just build rovers with the new seats, and practice some orbiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omicron314 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I am going to practice interplanetary transfers, only using the Mün instead of Kerbin. I would also like to work on precision landings on both atmospheric and non-atmospheric bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanfranc Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm working on making my heavy lifters more efficient. So far, my new designs are very efficient at blowing up or tearing themselves apart – so that's something, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaFish Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm trying to get some experimental fighters into orbit, and I' working on a carrier design now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkuth Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm afraid to go any farther in game.. Since it will be all lost anyway.. Im hoping soon... Real soon... Like now soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperWeegee4000 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm afraid to go any farther in game.. Since it will be all lost anyway.. Im hoping soon... Real soon... Like now soon. I hear you. If not for the update coming soon, I'd have a base on Minmus right now. Probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonhyBee Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I stranded my huge orbital station around Duna trying to have it bring a lander there. I learned valuable stuff that will let me succeed in the next patch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexif Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I launched a bunch of probes to all planets I never visited (except Dres), just before the update (and its save-breaking) was announced. So finishing those missions should give me enough playtime until all my mods work in 0.21. I use RemoteTech and the new Deadly Reentry, so gathering data for reentry in atmospheres other than Kerbin will be usefull. I also just installed FAR, so I've got even more to learn. I just landed a probe and a rover on Duna and think I now know how to land there with Deadly Reentry and FAR. And I tried aerobraking on Eve (not advisable) with my Gilly rover mission, and also landed a micro probe from it on Eve. Next, I'm going to drop the rover onto Gilly and mess around a bit in the low gravity... If I've got nothing left to do, I can still toy with insane jumps to orbit, I hope. If I've got more time left, I'm going to use it to design new launcher subassemblies to use with FAR, there's still a lot of learning and design work to be done. Might just as well get over with that in 0.20.2 and have everything ready when 0.21 comes around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wronkiew Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I'm prototyping my stock space cruiser, which I will launch and assemble in orbit after 0.21 comes out. 15000 L of fuel, eight LV-N engines, crew of twenty. 9 km/s delta-v between refuelings. Lag may be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperWeegee4000 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I thought .craft files were what was going to break.That's why I've put my Minmus habitat project on hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
