Stranded - Kerbal Retrieval Project: Now with stranded spacecrafts! Minor tweaks add


Recommended Posts

Hey Ziv, no cheats, I had 19k units of fuel left in my heavy lifter @ 85kn Kerbin orbit, that was more than enough for all of the rescue missions. I don't think my approach would work for your challenge, because I would have to go just one time to Jool. For this rescue mission, I had to make two trips to get the three stranded Joolian Kerbals. I'm kicking around ideas for your challenge, I'd want to get a lot of fuel to Jool, which is in itself an interesting challenge. I may take your challenge up.... Thanks for the post.

Hi, i'm going to be attempting the challenge, or rather seeing how many kerbals i can rescue. So far I have rescued Corsby in the atmospheric orbit, but i will rescue more once i get a bug fixed out. (for some reason, every time i hit go to launchpad in the VAB, the game doesn't allow me to do anything and locks up). Anyways, pictures:

I just used the Stock Kerbal X for this mission

The pics are pretty self explanatory :)

Hi! Yeah, I saw your mission and I really liked it! Sorry, I thought it's not possible without refueling/cheating but with balloons at Eve and the interstellar engine they made it possible (80'000 m/s DeltaV, hahh... too easy for a grand tour too :D). Well planning, well designed crafts, really epic mission, congratulations! :)

You are welcome in the JOOL-5 Challenge if you give it a try. But it's a stock only for the main challenges (NovaPunch may be used except the radial nuke engines from it), or you can use some other mods for the Kethane one, but they have to be realistic to the original stock parts.

Rescued all the Kerbals and the Hulk at Duna, of course they are at Duna orbit but it's the least of my concerns. During driving at Duna i had a lot of Kraken attacks and also made my first sub-orbital ship rescue. Will continue at a later time with the return of the crew back to Kerbin. Of course i made a lot of design mistakes at this part of the challenge and sent 3 ships in order to accomplish this rescue.
