32 km/s Dv SSTO

I didn't try it yet. But i'm wondering how far i can go in the Kerbol system with THIS:

Oh, and sorry for the screenshot size, i have two screens

Nice D/V there, but it's mods, so it's kinda.... not as cool as stock. sorry that's just my opinion.

I have a planet pack mod that has a gas giant twice as far out as Jool, would you like to try to get there?

[EdFred]

Yeah, I mean, I could config file something to have a million dV a Kerbin TWR of 2 and keep the mass under 10t

Yeah! Where's the link?

The install's a little complicated but you should get through alright.

[Cochonrambo31]

I already have the required mods. I'll make a video and post it here. it has over 4000 KN of thrust

Alt+PrtScr will get you a screenshot of the active application window only.

I can't wait to see the video.

ok thanks for the tip^^

What Kerbart said. Plus, if you have Microsoft Windows, you have Microsoft Paint. Load, select, crop takes perhaps 30 seconds.

Or you can use KSP's built in screenshot function, just press F1 and it's saved in the KSP/Screenshots folder.

Also, that's a mountain of dV; where are you taking it?

[Cochonrambo31]

i think that the thrust and the ISP are sqrt(coretemp)/0.9 for these propellants (MethaLox). And as i'm using a 2.5m antimatter reactor (the second most powerful heat generator^^) i get a high thrust/ISP

[magnemoe]

Check out the orion nuclear rocket for higher dV, as in far more than a million m/s.

Yes its insanely OP, planned to used it as a drive for a kilometer wide standford torus, however that run into the 4GB limit and crash as a 2km/s Tylo lander.

Third alternative. Windows Key + P to disable the second monitor quickly.

Hey, that's almost enough to get to Europa and back!

You can do a Mars and back trip though.

Actually a pretty cool ship, OP; I love low-part count stuff. Interstellar is a lot of fun to play with, although that's pretty excessive delta-V for stock. You could probably get away with half a tank and do nearly anything.

Nice D/V there, but it's mods, so it's kinda.... not as cool as stock. sorry that's just my opinion.

Ah, the standards we hold ourselves and others to... Nowadays I find most feats in pure stock to be laughably easy and not at all impressive.

[Franklin]

hold on, lemme show you the 3-part rocket i made with custom parts. the engine i made has a 5000 isp and the tank i made holds 20K fuel, but it's pretty slick lemme tell u. not a bad build i must say.

You can always try docking a couple large ships without RCS. Oh yeah, and the docking port has to be facing the same way the thrusters are on both ships.

True, but there are other things which are less... common.

But im sorry if im critical. I've just played for so long , I like finding the limits of the game, without mods.

I don't see how modding would necessarily make that any easier. How about using Tweakable Everything and making the docking ports not have any magnetism? That'd be impressive.

Looks like you're finding the limits of your computer more than the limits of the game...

I agree 100 ton LKO grand tour with and <10 ton Eve lander, went down to -1 meter and jool and out twice.

Has not looked at interstelar but it looks good,

Yes, but 99% of mods make an attempt to keep themselves balanced in relation to the game.

[NoPanShabuShabu]

Interstellar is kinda O.P. Here's two SSTOs. The right part with the generators and the huge heat sinks was bringing up these gens and the AM tank to the AM accumulator. I decided to dock with the deep space driver on the left to resupply some stuff, it's an SSTO also. I don't know how much DV they have. Also, I docked these without any RCS...

[EdFred]

Oh, I know, but a 32,000dV single stage with 4 million newtons of thrust, isn't one of them. Might as well hyper edit.
