Modded Sandbox Mission: Frontier Research Station


Recommended Posts

(Ignore the fact that the "To be mentioned later" H.A.W.C Stations are orbiting Kerbin or that this is physically impossible to get this thing where it is now, or that the save is called "Vigilance Warfare")

So on my modded sandbox save I messed around a bit before putting a station (Although it was intended to be there) WAY out of a orbit around the sun.

So of course I have to see what KSP does around this point, which I've called: The Frontier.

Because I lack any form of recording equipment, you're only gonna get still images as I mess with KSP and the 3 (Well 5. But you'll only see 3) Kerbals (Named Hando, Adam and Neilgard) who are stranded, I mean posted there. FOR (The non-existent because we're playing sandbox) SCIENCE.

Day (???)1:

The entire station.

Ditto, from a wider angle.

A different angle, note the bizarre numbers on the NavBall.

Adam Kerman's perspective. I love how messed up the gauges are. One of the dials on the right was spinning extremely fast, which might be an issue.

Neilgard's perspective, also the gauges are no longer reliable, which is funny.

Hando on a spacewalk, with a tether attached in the event he loses all EVAFuel.

Obligatory Selfie.

Neilgard this time, he wasted two units of fuel flying there and back, and had issues with the tether at the end of his trip. Thankfully the tether is still functional.

Best. Engines. EVAR.

Hando Kerman's perspective, for some odd reason Neilgard's post isn't red from the nearby Mechjeb unit.

Because this is a modified Orbital Research Station, used for refueling any warmongering cruisers on the way for Duna, it has leftover escape pods and some posts used for struct connection in the event of a major incident, since we only have 5 Kerbals on board the vessel, we'll have ample space for them all.

I also love how the white cones managed to turn black with time in space...

Zoomed in on one of them.

Concerned about the weather outside, I decided to stop here and go back to the space center:

We apparently ripped apart time and space...

Welp, I think that's a successful first day of random acts so very far from Kerbol.

Yay! Midnight posting!

Also, the notes for the images are below the image the note.

Our resources, you'll see why I didn't say "Current"

Sensor Package data, somewhat interesting.

Since I think we all want to go home, I prepped for a retrograde burn...

Ditto.

That burn is beautiful...

I would be scared, also note how small the sun is.

We've made significant progress, but our fuel is gone, the escape pods are the only method of transport now, and they weren't designed to make a transit like this, just get away from any debris.

See? The sun got bigger!

The fuel units seem large, but our engines are fuel guzzlers, this won't last us long.

Again KSP? WHY?!
