Soda Popinski Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 OK, due to people threatening to "come see me" ( ), I've split the scores into FAR and non-FAR. If I put you on the wrong table, please let me know, also if I missed you during the shuffle, let me know That's a nice Challenge you got there. It would be a shame if something were to...happen to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michaelo90 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 OK, due to people threatening to "come see me" ( ), I've split the scores into FAR and non-FAR. If I put you on the wrong table, please let me know, also if I missed you during the shuffle, let me know Thank you, FAR makes it so much easier to reach high speeds, even if braking is harder. Without FAR my max runway speed (without braking) is about 530 m/s, when i was testing FAR yesterday i reached twice that Now i just have to find a way to brake Anyway, I have a question about the rules: You say that welding for stability is not ok, but is it ok if i use it for part count? My engine clusters are getting very big, but they are still very stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihtoit Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 hmmm.... nope. Reason being it would encourage 1-part entries (if that's possible, getting close to 1-part behemoths certainly might be), which are yanno, like, "unbreakable".

Guapo Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Many prototypes crashed, one managed to hit the control tower about 60% of the way up the tower.On behalf of pretty much everyone here on the Kerbal forums, may I just nominate this for "yes, it wouldn't be KSP without THIS " Award.

ZenithRising Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 My brothers and I liked the idea of this challenge so much, we decided to do something totally new with it. We added a one hour time limit and all attempted it simultaneously. It's like Iron Chef, but for space geeks! We recorded the results and made a little series out of it. I think it's pretty fun, and Will even managed a 11th place finish for the leaderboard in the first episode (191.7 m/s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DepletedUraniumPenetrator Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) I was bored today so I also tried some landspeeding. Sorry for revieving this thread by the way This is my third vehicle that I build after some testing. At first I used small SRB'S with just a light weight frame, but it turned out they didnt deliver the needed maximum thrust and acceleration in the given time (my goal was to get the maximum speed at the end of the runway). So I ramped it up a "bit", from 1500 kN with 6 SRB's to this little thing with 6200kN. It made quite the difference.Javascript is disabled. View full albumAlthough the final image shows something over 1000m/s, I don't count that because it was achieved not on the runway but after I took off from it.While uploading the pics I also noticed that I had way too much fuel left at the end of the runway, so if I'd start with less, speed would increase a bit again.EDIT: Oops, I've mistaken this thread with another landspeed challenge thread. Because my vehicle reguarly disintegrates at the end of the run, I guess I'm out of the race.

ihtoit Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 eh, no problem... it'd be interesting to see you stop that thing on the runway tho... doable given a small enough fuel load (the smaller load gives a higher initial TWR). Later versions of KSP allow you to adjust the fuel load in the hangar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
