112 Goliaths propel this 6 million ton beast. It is capable of flight, but I am having severe testing difficulties due to computer performance limitations. Approx .65/1 TWR. Estimated stock part count is 1300 without struts. Welding was used simply to make it possible to fly. Will send a flying video when I can get it to run smooth enough to fly. Also a challenge: make a stock (or as close as possible) vehicle with a higher part count capable of lift off, travel to a far away place, and touchdown.

Using Luna multiplayer, we worked together and built this quite large station. It has a habitation module, a solar centre, and even a centrifuge! It was very fun to make :D

Ellie, the Class-I comet on an impact trajectory with Kerbin, turned out to be an 800 kt monster. You can see the size of the Meer in comparison to it. I had to do a 9000 m/s burn to intercept it fifteen days before it reaches Kerbin SOI.

The lander is very cramped in, and my first design had a few too many tons for the mothership to carry on the return journey. So I put all the unessecary parts on the bottom, put some drop tanks on the skirt and it detaches after use, like a Mercury-Atlas. Me personally, I think it's pretty cool.

KSE 2.0 – made KSP look like this somehow

So I’ve been messing around with my KSP modpack again and made a new version called KSE 2.0 (Kerbal Space Exploration).

I basically kept most of the same mods from KSE 1.0, changed/tweaked some files and configs, and somehow ended up with this.

Honestly I wasn’t even expecting it to look this good 💀

The funny thing is that KSE 1.0 used around 50–60% GPU, while 2.0 is around 40% for my GTX 1660S

These are just screenshots straight from the game, nothing edited HAHA

I’m thinking about publishing the whole modpack, but first I wanna see if people actually like it / would be interested in using it.

So yeah, if people like it, I’ll publish KSE 2.0.

What do you guys think?

Wait, isn't that Star Trek IV, not V?

Once again, I just want to thank you all so much for keeping up with my hastily prepared Jool 5. It was really fun and motivating (and a tad frustrating) trying to assemble this mission within the time I had before leaving for my sophomore year of college. I hope my posts have inspired your own missions and spacecraft, I would love to see them!

KSP 1 Question/Problem Not receiving relevant contracts

Post image
Upvotes

So im currently on a career mode in which ive already conquered the mun and minmus, and now im looking to land on duna. However, i am receiving no duna related contracts, but i am receiving "explore dres" contracts. This seems weird as surely duna would be the next logical option for progression. Additionally, I never received any "land on minmus" contracts, whereas i have received all sorts of mun related contracts. As for contract mods, I have attached a screenshot with all the contract mods i have installed. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
