MightyLampshade Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Pretty much as it is in the title, I'm curious as to whether anyone has ever been hit by orbital debris? Like leftover booster stages, fuel tanks, junk, parts, etc.Just wondering if anyone has ever been a victim One of my older stations literally vaporised into several broken parts after I accidentally rested my bottle of beer onto the shift key and fired a KV Rocketry Maverick engine into the centre of the station during an undocking procedure (note to self: disable engines).

Godot Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Lol, I love how there is thread on this every few days, can't get enough destruction eh? but yes, I have.Looks like lots of people have been watching "Gravity" during the past weeks And nope, i haven´t ... even during the times (past vrsions) when my Kerbin-Orbit was "crowded" with debris (that is, before I implemented the policy to try to keep the debris for the launch stages suborbital or at orbits that were far away from my usual parking orbits (~90-120km)) I never was hit by debris (although, at this time, I had around 2-3 occasions, where I was able to watch debris flying by in higher or lower orbits) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCanadianVendingMachine Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Actually, I have barley any debris. So I made the Debris Maker 9000(The other 8999 weren't relevant)I put it into a orbit where my space station is. No hits, yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASAFanboy Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I purposely fire off hundreds of probe cores to form massive debris clouds.Then make sure it's in a retrograde orbit.Whatever the case, I've blocked myself from entire celestial bodies because there is too much crap.Common tatic of mine in war simulations.Block off the enemy methane refinery.

Odo Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I was hit by an empty tank and a decoupler twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Man Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I was building a space station and got hit by another. Thought I'd deorbited it which was why I was rebuilding, but it turns out I just meant to deorbit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoVampire Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Me i obsessively clean debris from orbit, i figure jeb builds explosives into all rockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
