bitbucket_ Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 if there isn\'t any 2001 reference, its not a proper space game;)Too bad they didn\'t get the exact 1×4×9 proportions, but still, I LOL\'d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar15 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Good spot, Nova! You will get a crater named after you for that.Tranquility Base is indeed on Mun. Its not some secret base from where I test, I have ways and means beyond yer average Jeb, tis just somewhere I can chill after a hard day digging craters. Chances of it being there in the far future are very slim however so enjoy whilst you can.Still, one secret object and one secret base dont really constitute the 'secret bases or secret objects' I had previously narrowly avoided alluding to. Guess y\'all best keep on lookin eh? OH moar secret bases! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sordid Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 It\'ll be leaked, sooner or later, sadly... I had fun finding it, though!My rover is already circumnavigating the Mun along the equator as we speak.(picture taken immediately after landing, I don\'t actually drive it with the descent stage still attached)Which is probably the least efficient way of looking for it, but it\'s fun.Good spot, Nova!

I hadn\'t touched KSP in months, but now I can\'t stop playing. I want to find something, anything. As far as I\'m concerned, you can just shovel these locations in. The more the better.

Mu. Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 My thoughts exactly. I do hope that lil truck of yours works on Kerbin too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sordid Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Oh it does, though I think C7-based aircraft would be better for exploring Kerbin. A question, though: From how far away are these things visible? Do they pop in at a certain distance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess y\'all best keep on lookin eh? So the crater with the monolith is now 'Silisko Crater,' eh? Awesome. I\'m sending another probe to SMA-01 (Silisko Magnetic Anomaly 01)to study it.

Mu. Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Generally 50km for large objects (runways etc), 20km for general buildings and 10km for smaller objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sordid Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Okay, so I should basically be able to see the things from low Munar orbit. Cool.Oh, I don\'t suppose they get marked on the map once you get close to them, do they? That\'d be really neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cezary Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I\'m trying my best to find this place. I tried an equatorial orbit @ less than 10 km, but saw nothing (half due to darkness). I\'m trying my luck now with a polar orbit. Hanging nice and low @ 5 km for this one. I should be able to cover most of the Mun in two Munar orbits around Kerbin.

TheUnlogicalOne Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I spent about 30 minutes flying about around 10km up. I found this launch site hidden away in a mountain range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombiphylax Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Dammit, now because of TheUnlogicalOne and Mu, I feel like I need to pull efforts closer to Kerbin before going to the Mun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzeapa Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Is there any way to increase Draw Distance? I\'ve been 'orbiting' the Mun at about 700-1000m and didn\'t find squat....it\'s either this or I need glasses... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erkha343 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 All the equatorial craters seem the same to me except that one where two connect trough a canyon, and it\'s not there, or is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I\'ve been 'orbiting' the Mun at about 700-1000m and didn\'t find squat....it\'s either this or I need glasses...I think I was a few km above the surface when I found it (something like 5km or less), and I could only see a small black dot, so I suppose you need to set the resolution high enough to see it (and look at the proper place =P).

Tzeapa Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I took a Mun Rover and explored a few craters and guess what I found? Nada, squat, nil, zero. I drove like 300k and from time to time I zoomed out to see if I can spot anything....nothing. At one point I saw a glowing stuff but when I got a bit closer it disappeared.Here\'s how I look so far, the crew went crazy a while a go...

AlternNocturn Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 5km? My two egg hunting probes are at least 8-9 km above the surface of the mun. What do you expect the maximum distance to see the monoliths would be?Also, UnlogicalOne, I assume you used a C7 plane to spot the alternate KSC? That\'s awesome, none of my planes ever fly so I\'d never be able to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That\'s awesome, none of my planes ever fly so I\'d never be able to do that.Hah, no, nothing so nice. I cheated a bit. I cobbled together a 'plane' from stock parts and changed one of the engines to use no fuel. I stuck a mechjeb module on to act as an autopilot using the surface mode. 11 degrees of pitch gave me -1m/s vertical speed so just flipping between 11 and 12 degrees every few minutes gave nice level flight.

erkha343 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Is the monolith in 14.3? I\'ve been to most craters now, and I haven\'t found it. :\'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico88 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Is the monolith in 14.3? I\'ve been to most craters now, and I haven\'t found it. :\'(Yes, it is in 14.3. Just like Silisko said, an unusualy shaped crater near the equator. You have to be very close to spot it, at first I thought it was a rock or a graphical glitch.

kockaspiton Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Found it, landed perfectly then pressed command+shift+3 (mac screenshot), and watched my lander go up in flames as I hit the gas, luckily the pod survived so I could roll in for a shot.
