A very simple challenge.

How much stuff can you put into orbit? Design a rocket that dumps as much of its pieces into orbit as possible. Try and keep them connected, so that they will split into smaller pieces when struck! Go for variety in size, from the humble RCS thruster to the mighty fuel tank!

Any add-on part is allowed, as long as it is balanced and obviously not overpowered. Bonus points if you can get screenies of your rocket being hit by some of this stuff.

My pathetic start:

One LV-T45, two fuel tanks, an ASAS, and a decoupler.

How you get 2 things in space on your map????

Buy 0.14.

Buy 0.14.

. Is 0.14 already to play?!

[Phoxtane]

No, .14x4 is ready to play. .14 will be out soon-ish. This isn\'t the thread to talk about it though.

[Guest Flixxbeatz]

.14 will be out soon-ish.

And I\'m still stuck at 0.13 :\'(

Okay this looks like fun, I\'m in. All stock parts, the Buckshot Mk2.

After two launches theres already a little bit of traffic up there.

Spin\'er up and eject parts Makes a decent mess, the only things that don\'t end up spread around up there are the three liquid boosters that get dropped around 14k

I found that if you leave command module somewhere on the surface of Kerbin you can crank time warp up to max and spread stuff out faster. I\'ll be back later with some orbit views once I get the orbits tighter. Right now things are a bit sloppy.

check mine out

you see how the space junk slowly escapes the keribin or bit

one off topic question is it my RCS controls or is it very difficult to dock hm

[chickenplucker]

I\'m unsure how much crap I currently have up there, but it was enough that I had to move the game off my laptop and dig my tower out of the garage. Getting kind of messy up there.

And for fun I fired off a shuttle and sent it against the stream of trash. Kind of fun watching the markers zoom by like the starfield screensaver.

To anyone having issues with lag, you should check your Alt+F2 console on launch. If it\'s getting spammed with NaN errors, try going into your persistence folder and looking for any vessels with orbital parameters of 0. If you get rid of those vessels with odd orbital parameters, you may see a performance boost.

How do I go into my peristence folder? What\'s the directory path?
