NovaSilisko Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Wait, so you are saying...There is like 20 KSC\'s on Kerbin most likely?There\'s only two. Just a bunch of pictures at different angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varden Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Just landed in crater, it was the flattest surface nearby, and...I think it is not monolith, not exact shape, and emblem But it was first, what I thought about.P.S. Broke one leg, I am afraid of moving closer, can lost one of engines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sordid Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I did discover a lander that no longer shows up on my map though, so I\'ll be sending my first cart to go an investigate that. It\'s within driving range of the super crator, and even if the Obelisk isn\'t in there, I\'d like another look.You mean a lander that you put down, right?

Maddmatts Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I finally managed to find the 2nd Kerbin KSC site. My attempts at launching a cart in to explore it has really reduced the average life expectancy of my astronauts though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randox Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 You mean a lander that you put down, right?Yeah. It\'s started showing up on the map again too.I\'d find the monolith a lot faster if the game would store like the last 3 autosaves. I learned to not do them while airborn, but after that fiasco was able to touch down long enough to make a new one before going up in flames again. I\'ve also had one spawn me under the surface. Flying back up through didn\'t kill me, but it turn my cart into 3 seperate craft (my engine blew up, a landing leg came off and the cart separated from my pod+ASAS).I have decided that rather than drive a full nealry 100km between objectives, I should should launch a new lander for every target. Fortunately I think I have perfected my fourth generation of Mun Rocket which now carries a rover instead of a proper landing pod (though if I got going really fast I could get back into orbit and return home. The landing would suck though).Also, terrestrial carts are not for me. And the game glitched up and froze like 2 minutes away from what I believe to be the location of the second space centre (I need to make a new plane that is more sluggish too). I really like it when I fudge the controls and the plane descended from 13km to about 7 while still going 400m/s. Think iron man after he made his suit ice up. Your only hope is to air brake until your at a speed where you can control the craft for real again.Makes me want a real joy stick instead of a controller.

Sordid Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yeah. It\'s started showing up on the map again too.Yeah, I\'ve had that with my discarded descent stage on the Munar surface. Sometimes it shows up on the map, other times it doesn\'t. Not sure what\'s up with that.I\'d find the monolith a lot faster if the game would store like the last 3 autosaves.This game really needs a proper savegame system. You do have quicksave (F5/F9), but it works pretty much only when it feels like it. After having my rover explode for no reason while traveling a leisurely 10m/s across a flat plain, I\'ve taken to regularly stopping, exiting to the space center, and backing up the save file manually.

Randox Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 That\'s not a bad idea. Every 5 minutes I should probably back up the persistance and auto save, because even though that takes a while and is generally annoying, it would allow me to be sure I can recover to a working state without needing to send up another rocket (which is a good 30 min investment).Thanks for the idea.I don\'t suppose anyone wants to give me a bit of a hint as to whether I should be looking on the near or far side of the Mun. I don\'t normally do orbits, so I am used to landing all my rockets on the near side, and that\'s where I am going to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silent_prtoagonist Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Huzzah! Finally found it!I finally got so frustrated with having to launch a new lander for every crater, or trekking rovers between them, that I made a huge 13.5 tank lander that could land at several craters in one go. Turns out to be a pretty fun way to get around, nothing like catching a ride on a balistic ICBM to get to work in the morning .As a side note, Mech-Jeb/AR202\'s landing autopilot can be frighteningly accurate. I set it to drop the second lander on the first\'s coordinates, and then almost aborted the landing because I thought they were going to hit. I think if I hadn\'t rotated a bit the second lander would have stepped on the first\'s foot Now to begin construction of a base to study why giant monkey aliens left a monument on Mun, and determine the danger of a possible alien invasion of Kerbin to steel our bananas...

Tzeapa Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Man I suck at egg hunting. I\'ve passed all craters at about 700-1500m and haven\'t found nothing. Then I 'rovered' in each and everyone of them, still nothing. There are more bodies on the Mun than living people on Kerbin.Eye surgery it is !

I did some config edits to my decent engine from the lander kit, and it can probably hop craters a couple times, but I\'m not even sure I found any promising landing sites. Unless I am mistaken in my literal interpretation of the obelisk being on the equator (I am assuming it was put someplace people are likely to land).I really wish I could see the whole Mun in daylight at the same time.Starting to wish I didn\'t know about this so I could stop looking S:| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceBlunt Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 i\'ve run about three small ships out looking, i\'m trying to get a cart out there, but i\'ve never been able to get a cart safely to the munI got my prototype buggy their on the test run, but whilst driving about, put the brake on too hard and did a front flip...BaBoom!!I spent 4 hours last night perfecting the ship so it is sturdy, easy to handle and has plenty of fuel...Doing the tests though i\'ve ended up with 5 ships just orbiting Kerbal =PThis evening I\'ll be departing a final Cart buggy ship to the Mun and try to rendezvous with my other landed vessel....Whilst searching for a easter present ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sordid Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Unless I am mistaken in my literal interpretation of the obelisk being on the equator (I am assuming it was put someplace people are likely to land).It\'s not on the equator, it\'s near the equator. And it\'s far enough and small enough that if you\'re on the equator, you won\'t be able to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can rule out all my first picks then lol.And I think I now where the second space center is, but every plane I send freezes up 2/3 of the way there >Going to try one more, and I guess I\'ll have to risk landing it to save every few minutes. At least it will give me something to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
