Post your failed Eve attempts.

[Rage097]

Wether nor not it was a parachute ripping your capsule from the lander or loosing an engine upon landing or insufficient Delta-V to escape. show and tell us your failed attempts at the Unescapable Eve.

The more pics, the better!

[Moar Boosters]

The visible broken parts weren't actually a problem. The structures with the chutes and legs were going to be left at the surface anyway.

The problem was 1 broken yellow pipe, which completely messed up the staging and caused the craft to start flipping at 5000m.

These crewmen got stranded after the aerospike nerf meant this ship was underpowered. Just about managed to survive the failed take off.

Took me a while to rescue them. (Taken from version 0.19)

[KatzOhki]

Uh oh, things are not going so well...

It took me a lot of tries to get this thing landed. You can see the engine snapped off behind the lander.

Since then I have been working on a better system for landing rovers.

[Captain Sierra]

lost two rovers on Eve, sorry, didnt take any awesome pics of that one.

[SRV Ron]

A mis step in design disabled the center engine upon a parachute landing.

Doubtful it has the delta V to return to orbit anyways.

This one landed just fine. Of course, it cannot return.

Three man single launch return mission on the pad.

Fail.

Not enough dV roving to higher ground impossible wheels twitching and exploding randomly.

[The Destroyer]

My only eve fail was back in 0.17 when I was landing at night.

In the water.

No pics D:

[csanders]

Thought I would give Eve a shot.

Here's a pic of the 3 man return vessel with the 1 man lander I dubbed the "Phalanx Lander"

Coming down.

Woot! Landed!

Turns out that thing can barely make past 50K, much less orbit. But, Genefred Kerman made a safe landing.

Next up - Phalanx Lander Mark II. This one has actually been tested, and can safely launch from 3K on Eve. Now I just have to get it there.

Apparantly parachutes are pretty important to remember before getting all the way to Eve...

While the crew survived, the lander is in many more pieces (and missing quite a few) from the original design.

I'll have to make some pics later. I tried to re-create and then improve on the "Eve Return" vehicle (from the mission reports, I'm sorry I don't remember who did it ill look up your name soon).

Anyway, that launcher was designed back in the days there was a 4km launch site on eve (since been removed).

So I had the bright idea (not so much) to attempt the design of a launch system capable of returning 1 kerbal from sea level to eve orbit.

Initial testing on Kerbin seemed pretty promising, and the numbers I was getting in Engineer seemed good, so I landed a test launch on eve, much to my chargrin, I landed on the side of a small hill (more like a rise) just enough to not only explode the center Vectoring engine, but put the whole craft on a 15 degree or so tilt. Tried multiple launches anyway, as expected all fails.

So it's back to the drawing board.

[m1xte]

Second try.

Now with return spaceplane and rovers.

2.1kt on the pad.

Touchdown imminent.

Two chutes ripped off at full opening and i had to balance the craft by cutting two chutes on the other side.

Nice

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ladder problems cannot get into the command seats.

I landed. Unfortunately, my aim was off, and I crashed into the water, dropping the rover on the way because I hit space too early. Jeb got out, swam to shore, and planted the flag. Bill, being the lazy bugger he is, decided to hover over in the lander.

It got up out the water, started rising, I cut throttle a bit, and it slammed back down into the water, smacked into the debris of the rover, and exploded. RIP Bill.

Jeb is now stranded on the shoreline.

How in the hell do you embed imgur albums?

In .18, after getting bored of Kerbin's SoI, I've set a goal to myself: visit Duna. On the injection burn however, I've got an Eve encounter and I was like "Why not?" and just went there because I knew that I would screw up the Duna encounter.

Eve's atmosphere was a lot rougher than I've thought though.

*chute expands* WHOOPS!

The lander got torn into two pieces even though i've had it strutted.

I still had the probe core so I could do some science experiments until juice ran out (My power supply was in the destroyed part)
