Colonizing in style! Post shots of your triumphant crew!

[SlimJim89]

Jeb & Co setting up shop on Laythe Smile for kerbalkind!

If you got any glorious shots of your crew claiming planets, I'd like to see them!

Hmm, how my "colonies" have gone:

On Laythe (.21):

On Minmus:

LOL rocket powered cars on Minmus is fun, it also have an important safety feature that any high speed crash just require an burn at Ap to bring you into an orbit

The last base I had was shut down over the two weeks of christmas. Most of the crew had vacated and only 4 stayed behind with the bare minimums, so I sent them some presents for christmas before they were brought back to LKO like the rest of the base.

The rover and the tree stayed behind to mark the old spot and to search for a new one. Just never really got around to it.

With TAC Life Support, it's hard to get prepared for a colonization. But now you've motivated me to get this ***** crackalackin.

There's this reddit thread and here it is on spacecraft exchange, the B-92 ISCV Ursa

Glad you liked it!

This is from WAY long ago, version 0.18 if I'm not mistaken.

I really like your mono rover. Is the probe cores torque enough to keep it upright? Does it stay vertical on hills?

I assume the little cubic struts are to keep it from falling all the way over if you crash. Can it get back up if you fall over on one of them?

I'll be waiting until I get a rocket-based transportation system on Duna before the Kerbals will be travelling that distance; the rovers only hold 3 and I'm not making 4 or 5 75km trips...2 is plenty.

My earliest attempt at a Lunar Hotel setup. It isn't pretty but it got 34 Kerbals up there in one shot, not I just need a way to unhook the lander cans and setup an actual colony.

I may try to use a RCS setup along with landing legs to make small pod homes. Maybe one day....

[Warmblood]

Thanks. Yes, on Minmus the probe core can pull it back upright if it falls over. With the controls in docking mode the SAS keeps it stabilized and you can drive around fairly normally.

I have been inspired by SlimJim98's picture to make my own Laythe colony using EPL and Kethane as well as some other add-ons. I won't be using B9 though, because it uses far too much memory to be used with too many other add-ons.

Hey thanks! Glad I could help, and you're sure about not using B9? It's awesome

Seriously though, get active texture manager(or whatever the name was) it reduces a lot of mod memory issues and holds off crashes for a long time.

I may add B9, I'm just not sure if I want to add other add-ons than what I am starting off with, and B9 would limit that amount of other add-ons. I also don't like the long loading times.

[KandoKris]

No ones posted here for a while so I'll give it a go to keep it going

Some really nice stuff guys too by the way.

Below is My newest vessal The ChrisCorp Laythe Aircraft carrier Mk II

Able to come down via water or land

I just love the smoke on the water look. Removes excess parts to keep count low

Comes complete with add-ons which all dock to carrier

Mechjeb is REALLY making me angry by making the scanner probe mission to laythe a failure by putting the probe in a retrograde orbit which meant I couldn't get into robit around laythe. Mechjeb atm is a piece of -censored-.

[Spartwo]

It would have been the most D/v efficient. You should have either checked or set up the nodes yourself. Oh, and...

[mike9606]

I'm probably just going to do a Mun or Minmus colony.

[Megalodon 720]

When the planets are finished I'll build a colony here.

[mike9606]

My Kethane mining rig on the mun at the site of my future colony. It is actually not there as I accidentally closed the game without saving, but I relaunched it and it will land at the same spot.
