The Kerbal Amazing Race!

[stanz25]

Hello my fellow Kerbonauts!

I have created a fun and exciting challenge with new objectives all the time! I felt that some of the popular challenges like the Jool 5 have been around for a while and are getting boring. So here's mine!

Under this paragraph is Trial 1. Every time you complete a trial, PM me and I will grant you with the next trial.

You must also send me Picture evidence and a part count. The less parts the better. For every part you receive a

point and the less points you have the better your placing will be. There will be a score board with the top 10 scorers.

There will be 25 trials and they get harder and harder. If you have any questions just comment!

After we have a completion of all score boards the challenge will enter round 2 with a new set of trials!

There is a Hard Mode to this and it requires RSS. Just let me know if you're doing hard mode. There is also a career mode version, and an Easy mode. Finally every 5 trials there will be an optional hard mode.

Trial 1: Send a manned craft into orbit and land safely anywhere on Kerbin. After you land, plant a flag.

Rules

1. No Hyperedit, Debug Menue, Kraken Dives, Mechjeb*, etc.

2. There are only a few mods you can use; Kethane, KW Rocketry, ScanSat, Kerbal Engineer, Deadly Re-entry, kOS and RSS(Optional) (ScanSat and Kethane are required)

3. Don't spoil it to other players.

4. Have fun!

There is a signature award when your finish!

Now what are you waiting for! Get racing!

Is Kerbal Engineer Allowed?

[Vaporo]

I like how you include MechJeb under the same category as cheats.

Seriously, why no MechJeb. I don't think it give horribly much of an advantage in this challenge.

[stanz25]

Kerbal engineer is allowed. EDIT: I feel that mechjeb is like a helpful guide. I can add an easy mode were Mechjeb is allowed. Let me think about it.

[stanz25]

I am going to add an "EASY" mode. This will allow you to use mechjeb and the Trials will be easier. (However you can ask for the trials to be the same as normal mode)

Can we use kOS?

Please??!?

(Also: Hey, you're not dead! )

I'll get Kethane and ScanSat tomorrow, and begin racing again! I'll be in career mode (Hard Difficulty).

Awesome! kOS may be used.

[Pecan]

Sorry, I won't be in this time:

a) 0.25 is new, I need to update my tutorial.

writing another one with Wanderfound.

c) Also because Kethane and no KAC, MJ or RPM, but I can understand you have to draw the line somewhere.

ETA for below - another tutorial, that is, not challenge :-) "World of SSTO" will be our opinions, and disagreements, about what constitutes the 'best' single-stage launch vehicles (probably, we're still working out exactly what we want to say, I have to finish updating the existing one first).

Cool Let me know how yours does!

[stanz25]

We need some competition! You're missing out if your not playing! :P

[Starwhip]

I keep forgetting to plant a flag at the end of the mission! Gah!

I'll remember eventually! (Perhaps I should finish up the founding of the program first, I'm in a sort of precarious situation with my funds right now. I need about 46 more science so that I can unlock the basic spaceplane parts.)

[Jimbimbibble]

Can I assume that if I'm using RSS I can use all the mods that go with it (procedural parts, FAR, RealFuels, engine packs, etc)? It's nearly impossible to get to orbit without those mods, let alone do something interesting.

Yes sir! Thats whats apart of the RSS challenge!

[Starwhip]

Ah, I just read the rules again. This'n be a part-based challenge, yes? I'll have to consider that.

I think my first vehicle is going to be an SSTO. I'll have it rescue What's-His-Face Kerman on the way, too.

[stanz25]

Lol. It's a lot different now!

[Spacepigu]

I am trying this as we speak!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Awesome! Have fun!
