hello everyone!

I'm new to KSP. Well, I played on 0.21 and when I updated to 0.22 I didn't know to back anything up so....I was forced to start career mode from scratch. Which was good I suppose, because it made me start over but with a good foundation in gameplay!

I accomplished the tech tree mostly through exploration of the mun (MunSci missions flown by Elmy Kerman were critical to this) as well as a few missions to Minmus, as well as a couple of Kerbin missions. The "last" mission of mine that mattered was a probe that flew to Eve, getting info on interplanetary space, Eve's space / upper atmosphere / flying, and ultimately landing there and sending back a ton of science.

I've flown plenty of missions after the tech tree (including my first manned trip to Laythe and back that was a success :) ) and continue to explore the solar system.

I play 100% stock. Not because I am against mods, but more because I just get distracted by having so much fun already :)

If you just want to see ALL of my pics thus far of my career mode, then you can see that here:http://s999.photobucket.com/user/stevism/slideshow/KSP%20022

But I doubt you do, so here is a quick overview:

MunSci missions (some before tech tree completion, some after. don't have pics of each one):

I love the creativity that Career Mode's limited parts is inspiring in people :D Great job, I particularly like seeing how your designs have evolved organically. Even the last one still resembles the first in some basic construction methods.

I know what you mean by evolved. Reminds of of when I was a young whippersnapper back in 0.11

wow thanks for the warm welcomes and kind feeback everyone, I really appreciate it! definitely looking forward to becoming more involved here :cool:

Sidenote: I think this belongs a little better in Mission Reports.

At any rate, welcome to the forums, and nicely done! :) Hope you'll continue to share your progress as things develop.

My apologies! I definitely agree that this belongs in Mission Reports (now that I see what that entails), sorry to clutter the wrong section :( and thank you for moving it to the right one! :)

I will bring this over-reaching thread to a close by posting the rest of the "highlights" from my other missions. I see now that you can post your craft (which looks awesome!) so I will attempt to post in the correct sections by doing specific Mission Reports and uploading the craft(s) that were used in said mission, and linking them accordingly. If anyone sees any particular craft on here that you want me to upload asap, just let me know and I'll do those first :wink:

Minmus Missions:

first manned mission:

screenshot15_zps4a231aba.png

visiting the first probe sent to Minmus (the probe was one of my earlier missions and earned me a ton of science. landing was done on tailpipe, didn't plan on landing originally)

screenshot95_zps1c281164.png

screenshot93_zpsa7f09572.png

visiting a leftover portion of a MunSci styled lander. The return ship decouples from the lander that this Kerbal is standing on

screenshot278_zps0573bbaf.png

lastest Minmus missions purely to explore, as tech tree is done. well, i still put science gear on it for future career modes :)

Kerbin South Pole

not many pics but did this while working on the tech tree

Eve probe/lander

this mission gained me a LOT of science (well, by my standards haha) and helped me finish the tech tree.

Duna probe / lander (same craft as Eve mission)

Manned mission to Jool/Laythe

lander / push crafts docked together, aerobraking at jool, swinging past tylo, and arriving at laythe:

screenshot201_zps8dd26f77.png

screenshot210_zpsbb5d009b.png

screenshot212_zpsad43a089.png

I had misjudged how much fuel I'd need to get there, so I sent another "push" craft to meet up with the first one. I planned to dock them once Jeb Bob and Bill had landed safely on Laythe, but I refused to send them down to the surface until their fuel home was safely in orbit around laythe:

screenshot216_zps41fc00f9.png

screenshot294_zps1ae1ba2f.png

landing on Laythe, then leaving 101 days later (when the launch window was optimal):

screenshot336_zpse63e0e1e.png

screenshot343_zps59b0981a.png

screenshot350_zps61c3573d.png

docked with push vehicle, and return trip to kerbin:

can't forget to repack the chutes! :sticktongue:
