How much tech points i can get from rendezvous two kerbaled craft on Kerbin orbit

[Pawelk198604]

I do not know how i do this without MechJeb:D (I've done this but a long time ago)

I don't have developed docking port, but i think about make rendezvous. Like Gemini 6 and 7. But does i get any point for this?

[Deadpangod3]

Nope.

(Tenchar)

[MoffKalast]

Nope, not yet at least.

[Pawelk198604]

Nope, not yet at least.

That's pity.

how get tech point, that's me tech tree

The point is the same as always... because you can... (try).

Now i have 48 tech points or accumulate more and unlock electric what is better?

[Jarin]

It would be nice if "recovered a vessel that rendezvoused with another vessel in orbit" was a thing for the postflight-report, but it's not. Yet. I hope.

[nadreck]

I think rescuing your guy from a crashed and no long space worthy lander should be worth some thing too (and it turns out it is - you get as many points as you lost for crashing him in the first place ;-) )

without electric, you wont get much done... i would get battery packs and simple solar panels as soon as you can...

[Zeblote]

you can get much more science than you will ever be able to spend!

[Brofessional]

I'm hoping the devs implement a way to transfer data/samples from one vehicle to another via docking, because right now you can't do sample-returns if you do an Apollo style mission profile.

It would be neat if you could earn a bonus payout for advanced maneuvers like docking once missions/budget is added. Like if you land on the Mun and return you get $100,000, but if you do a CSM/LEM rendezvous you get $110,000; with a summary screen at the end of the mission listing all your bonuses or penalties.

now i have 96 points now i have dilemma "Space exploration" or "electrics", space exploration unlock thermometer but what it will get me?

[Oddible]

Electric, always electric. Then go for Fuel systems if you don't have it. Electric gets you solar panels - which means you can start transmitting science. You transmit several time before you return to Kerbin to maximize you science per trip. Without electric, you consume your batteries and can't get home. Then go for Fuel Systems so you get Fuel Lines and can construct more efficient staging.

[Pawelk198604]

But what "2HOT Thermometer" can provide me in career mode, does it provide any boost in tech points?

[Goldham]

I dont think it will give you anything yet but I'm not sure but solar panels and batteries will be better as you can generate and transmit more science.

[omegamatrixhh]

It's just another science device, you can test the temperature and send it back to kerbin for science points. As many people have said, get electric first as it will exponentially increase your science gain per mission as transmitting data requires lots of power

[KSK]

But what "2HOT Thermometer" can provide me in career mode, does it provide any boost in tech points?

Yes it does. You can do temperature scans from the ground, the air (where present) and orbit. Doesn't seem to work from high orbit - I guess it just defaults to 'thermometer is frozen solid and doesnt work' at that point. However temperature scans are just one experiment, so you need to either stick a bunch of thermometers all over your ship to take multiple readings (I think) or transmit the data home.

I would definitely go for Electrics first - being able to transmit data will make actually using your 2HOT a lot easier.

[Pawelk198604]

But how i get 90 tech points again;-)

I taken sample almost all region of Kerbin, Desert, polar region, grasslands, mountains water.

And SC-9001 and Mystery Goo, has generating very low tech points now

I also did unnamed flyby around moon and, (i strapped service module with batteries)the probe had only 10 electric but landed safely

[Goldham]

Manned Mun/Minmus Missions will get alot of SCIENCE!

[Pawelk198604]

Manned Mun/Minmus Missions will get alot of SCIENCE!

I did on unmaned flyby around Mun and get 20 points so if would made maned i will get extra pointa?

But i would need big rocket to send Jeb around Mun

[Pawelk198604]

I want thanks i invested tech points into electric department.

I sent Jeb into mission around the moon and get 100 points:D

[Brofessional]

Don't forget that the Mun has multiple regions like Kerbin. Even if you don't land, just orbit over each of the major craters and the poles.

[Pawelk198604]

I landed on Mun without MechJeb in MK1 capsule, the sad part of it that i don't have fuel to take off from Mun, not to mention return to Kerbin, so poor Jebediah will stay there forever, or at least until i not restore back-up save file

I get 120 points by taking Mun sample and 20 for making EVA report from Mun.

PS how much points i would make if i send probe into other planet?

[Sirrobert]

Go to Minmus first, it's easier than the Mun

[AmpsterMan]

Congrats on Mun landing!

Wise investment on electrics. Once you unlock solar panels thr whole universe opens up to you
