Rockstar04 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 So the most important question, were you able to do SCIENCE! before it exploded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirine Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 So the most important question, were you able to do SCIENCE! before it exploded?My science part fully unlock. No science issues.This craft should be the 1st landed on Mun. When I send the 2nd craft on Mun it still there...then somehow later...It just appear landed on the Sun...I don't know what happened.

Blue Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Assuming one can kill off the orbital velocity of 16km/s or whatever it is, its surface gravity is probably in the order of 15G and is more than hot enough to melt the most resilient parts-- assuming being crushed by pressure orders of magnitude greater than the "surface" of Jool doesn't kill a ship first.Landing on the sun is like landing a supersonic aircraft carrier on a rubber duck. It would be an absurd act of charity to say it was even theoretically possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be an absurd act of charity to say it was even theoretically possible.Best analogy ever.I'll need to look back and see if I took a snapshot of any bug like that I've had. I think I remember an instance in previous updates of the location being wrong (though not that ridiculous). Impressive accomplishment though, whether you claim credit or not. I've never accidentally landed on Kerbol. Edited November 7, 2013 by SourMonkey gR4Mm3r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be an absurd act of charity to say it was even theoretically possible.For what it's worth, the surface gravity of the KSP sun is "only" 1.75 gees. Surface gravity dropped considerably when the sun went from roughly 65,000 km in radius in 0.17 to 216,000km in radius in 0.18, while keeping the same mass. Orbital velocity near the surface, on the other hand, is more like 67 km/s.And true, a spacecraft capable of 67 km/s delta-V with more than 1.75 gees thrust would be a sight to see, if the game didn't typically destroy by overheating anything that got closer than about 1.2 km to the solar surface (Or at least, that was the threshold back in 0.21).

DChurchill Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I hyperedited a probe to 500m to see what would happen.An unceremonious poof.That has to be a really weird bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montyben101 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 You wouldn't get any science as the devs wouldn't have made a surface biome for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosterspice Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Well, is it at the sun, or does it just say it in the Tracking Station?If it is landed at the Sun, hats off, m'lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be an absurd act of charity to say it was even theoretically possible.That would be realistic, but this is KSP. The last time I went to the sun was in 0.20 during my big Icarus Project. As I recall, the command pod exploded 1km off the sun's surface and the rest of the ship fell into the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my "ship" got close to the surface of the sun my autopilot using krpc seemed to think up was changing a lot... or I was really close to the center to the planet?

To quote the wiki: Quote Previously the closest sustained altitude was 1,340 m, but now (v1.0.4) at around 600,000 m above the surface there is a sudden and unavoidable increase in temperature which rapidly causes overheating and destruction to parts and kerbonauts on EVA; this marks the closest sustained altitude possible for vessels or debris, though catastrophic dives to lower depths are possible. So at least that changed since this thread was posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Perhaps a new thread would be a good idea here, a lot has changed since this one started. Closed. P.S. Don't complain about necroing in thread, just hit the report button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
