sal_vager Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hi Seanoog, in case you or anyone else is wondering, the USS Palomino is based on the ship of the same name from the old Disney movie \'The Black Hole\'I found Samstarman5 had made a ship and I felt I had to make a stock version, his vessel can be found here: http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=5566.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal_vager Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 @ Luigibro606, we are flying version 0.14.3 so far, if you can work your debris clearing magic with only stock parts then thats great, but so far the three pilots have managed to land without much trouble, the mod base had a few orbiting debris though.

sjwt Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 May I please be added to the Stock base list, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigibro606 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Gah. Well, sorry, but I\'ve got to drop out. The new terrain generator wreaks havoc with my intergrated graphics card. :C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal_vager Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 trbinsc, I\'d like to sign up for another flight, I only have little landers though if that\'s okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apotheosist Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Just thought I\'d share a screenshot after I had been playing around on the stock base. I landed my lander on sal_vager\'s lander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanoog Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 please remove me from the list, i am off on holiday, and wont be able to fill in my slot :/ sorry, but i just remembered.Removing you from the list. Please request another flight, when you return.May I please be added to the Stock base list, thanks!Adding you now.@ Luigibro606, we are flying version 0.14.3 so far, if you can work your debris clearing magic with only stock parts then thats great, but so far the three pilots have managed to land without much trouble, the stock base had a few orbiting debris though.I cant imagine the debris, will cause any trouble. They will be loaded/unloaded when flying past them, an soon should be removed by putting Debris value to Zero, within settings.In actual fact, I like them, reveals a little about the lifter stages, of each rocket.My lifter stage, floated off into Solar orbit, to be eventually deleted. 8)Just thought I\'d share a screenshot after I had been playing around on the stock base. I landed my lander on sal_vager\'s lander Like you do, when your bored! Apotheosist, you are aware there is an ENTIRE Mun, to land on?PS: Keep that Persistance file too your self. An GREAT Job! 8)UPDATE: Presently waiting for GOOMH, to fly his mission... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sting_auer Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I wish that the Katerpillar wheels were vanilla I\'d love to put a rover on the Mun to drive in circles around all the debris lol.I think that, after I do my landing on the stock one, I\'ll do the modded one and put a rover on it.

I attached the wheels onto the ends of 3 radial decouplers so that the rover had a wider base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It\'s a lot of fun I just attach a ton of RCS tanks and thrusters and use that to fly across gaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trbinsc Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hey Seanoog, I think I\'ll take a spot on the stock base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanoog Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hey Seanoog, I think I\'ll take a spot on the stock base.Adding you now.I\'d have a go at the Modded Base, except I am alergjc to Mods. 8)- Come on guys, there has to be more eager explorers to land on the Modded Community Base.

GOOMH Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I just downloaded the persistence file and I\'m prepping my craft for launch. Lets see if I can make a smooth touchdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togfox Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I thought I\'d provide some (unnecessary) navigation and landing aid. A topography of what I\'m calling Moonbase Sierra (\'S\' for stock).The moonbase is in the big patch of green in the middle and the nearby crater is down near the blue zone.The first image is a top down. You can see if you drift to far off base you\'ll end up in the gully or on a sloped hill.The 3rd images as 3D view of the slope. It\'s quite gentle so it looks quite flat (because it is!).

GOOMH Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Right Now I\'m in orbit trying to get my orbit over the site precisely. I\'m about 1-2 Km off atm but soon I\'ll go into land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirscott Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Working on getting a ship there now chaps. I have a nice little craft off the shelf that I use for nigh on every mission , and which has some nice history with it. More later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Credit, will be given of course)Right Now I\'m in orbit trying to get my orbit over the site precisely.

Apotheosist Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I\'d just like to remind everyone to try to keep space clean. I made sure the lower stages of my rocket entered the atmosphere. I do believe, however, that when i posted the persistence file, they were still orbiting. I played around some more on the persistence I posted, and decided to speed up time to get their orbits to degrade and eventually fall to kearth. I left it for quite a while, but they were still orbiting. I eventually figured out that it seems the atmosphere only affects them when the part is targeted. So I went to map view and clicked all the debris one after the other and waited for them to fall. Someone might want to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal_vager Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Debris won\'t auto delete unless its around 20k or lower, so try to drop your ascent stage before it gets too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togfox Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Yes, you can repost in the top of the thread.That map was not extracted, that map was *explored* old school explorer style.
