astroboy820 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 After looking through the forums for quite a while, I noticed a lot of people (in fact, probably close to 95% that I saw) have the ribbons for different objectives they completed. I saw people that had stations, bases, rovers, flags, etc.,but I can't think about which one is the most impressive. So, what is the highest honor in your opinion? Is putting a flag on a moon or another planet more important than having a base or a rover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Harper Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 You'll probably get a lot of differing opinions, but I think it would be putting someone on the surface of Eve and returning them to Kerbin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterCity Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 For me, the biggest success was building Mun base. Since i have llife support mod, it was a tough one to achieve. I never landed a kerbal at eve, so i don't know what it is like. But the rover seemed much heavier than at Kerbin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas988 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 As of now, probably my proudest achievement is landing on Minmus in Career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xetalim Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 The biggest honor probably is manned eve return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astroboy820 Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 I don't think that I explained my question clearly, or maybe it's just too early for me to comprehend what others are saying; I'm asking, regardless of the planet or moon, what craft device would be the highest honor? Would it be building a base on an object, a space station around an object, just getting a flag on the surface, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan125 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Single stage to every planet and moon and back without refueling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirine Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Single stage to every planet and moon and back without refueling.Easy. Just enable unlimited fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravator Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Easy. Just enable unlimited fuel.yea.. and for eve? unlimited fuel AND unbreakable joints, that way it wont break. and no crash damage.everything is easy with cheats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javster Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 A base at Eeloo, or a Kerballed return from Eve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xetalim Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 A kethane base on Eve with landers able of going to an Eve space station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodo42 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Where do those ribbons come from?http://ribbons.cgagnier.ca/On topic, a while ago somebody did a stock "landing" on Jool's surface and brought the Kerbal on board back into orbit. Not sure if it's still do-able, but with stock parts that's probably the greatest achievement.Edit: here's the thread: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/50242-Jool-accent-the-imposible-chalenge/A base at Moho is relatively difficult. One at Eve is less so, but having an escape system at the Eve base that'd get all Kerbals back into orbit would be impressive.Very low solar orbits are at the least time-consuming to get to. If you don't wanna use ions, asparagus staged nukes or 48-7s are really the only practical options.Ship-to-ship rendezvous in Solar orbit is buggy, time-consuming, and downright hard. I'd say an orbital station with multiple, docking-assembled pieces in low Kerbol orbit is one of the hardest things to do in KSP.

Sargent890 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I would agree that bringing Kerbals back from Eve is the highest honor. By the way, how do you get these badges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyritdragon Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 In my viewpoint, the highest honor is probably having returned from the surface of Eve to Kerbin with stock parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWeasel Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Pushing you engineering skills to a new height for me. Either my first SSTO or the getting the largest ship I have ever built into orbit, an macey dean inspired naval carrier. To be fair it was made a lot easier with tweakables by shipping it up empty.

KvickFlygarn87 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Return from Eve surface. Oh god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceSphereOfDeath Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Return from surface of eve, a feat I have done only once (good god the lag)The highest Honor is probably a grand tour, with out refilling including a manned eve landing and a Jool landing and return (it's possible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieholgate Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) using the jetpack, a 1 man pod, and an rcs canister (but no rcs boosters, only for refilling eva pack) and then use EVA power to return from Eeloo. there. EDIT: youre already in 100km orbit of Eeloo. Edited December 28, 2013 by davieholgate adding a new parameter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterCity Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Eeloo or Jool kethane mining base with refinery, refueling station, orbital "rockorest" (where the kerbals can fool around waiting for next kethane transport), rover base and at least 10 permanent occupants.Sticking a all-in-one lander there with no provisions for return doesn't count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirine Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 .Eve return. Done 3 times. 1st, 1man. 2nd, sea level 1man. 3rd, 900m.....4 men. Check my mission report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
