Bocce-roids (stock, modded, and ffa categories)


Recommended Posts

I love challenges, so I thought I'd put up one of my own. The object is to put two asteroids on a collision course with each other. (Or as close as possible)

The rules:

general (applies to stock and modded categories):

  1. no using mods to fly your ship for you.
  2. orbits must be around kerbin
  3. no engines that generate insane thrust (warp drives or other nonsensical stuff).
  4. Infinite fuel/rcs is fine, cheating to get a ship into orbit is fine, this contest isn't to see who can get into orbit the best.
  5. No KAS or other attachment mods, the only way you can attach your asteroid is with the stock claw, or some ingenious mechanical monstrosity.
  6. No steering asteroids into each other, they must be released before the distance between the two asteroids gets below 50km. So be sure screenshots showing trajectories are at/before that point.

Stock category - Use stock parts and physics only (mods like kerbal engineer, gui mods, etc are allowed)

Modded category - Use modded parts.

freeforall category - use whatever parts and mods you like. on the honor system, don't alter save files or otherwise completely defeat the point of the challenge

The scores:

Scores will be tabulated as follows:

For a collision (show picture of the collision) - score = 1/(semimajoraxis1*semimajoraxis2). This essentially means that the smaller the orbits are (for the most part), the more points you get.

For a near-miss (show picture of intercept distance) - score = .1/interceptdistance. Obviously points can be had this way, but they won't amount to very much comparatively speaking.

Obviously screenshots that show all pertinent info will be needed, also make sure to get a good shot of the vehicle itself.

The top three scores will be kept in each category.
