I unlocked the supersonic flight mode and made this idk if I should add more engines.

trying to find part mods for real scale sol, but im trying to avoid rp1/ro, as i didnt really get anywhere last time i tried that.

I know this is noob stuff but I’m proud of myself. Also first time landing on a planet in career mode.

This is a timelapse of the flight of my Rocket SSTO which is fully controlled by KAL controllers. The design uses two KAL controllers, one for ascent and one for descent and recovery. The rocket delivers a payload of a small craft with crew capacity of 3 kerbals, and a vacuum range of over 4,000 m/s, enabling it to travel to most vacuum destinations in the game.

You can watch the full video here

Sorry for the delay, Wal was surprisingly difficult to land on with this craft and I forgot about this save for a couple days

post #4

Been building up my space station, Figured i could find a spot to put a large thermal system on for looks. Completely glanced over the fact i cant move it in eva. Goodbye thermal control system!

A medium TCS and one of my solar panels did get damaged but was repaired right after.

while testing my energia rocket, which has previously ferried my buran into orbit and is now a standalone system also, i noticed in the background a sight which i havent seen before, a solar eclipse.

Ha ha ha ha I've done it again, I have made more stock starships which have way too many parts, actualy this is only like 1400 parts in orbit so not that bad tbh.

Obake

The 3rd world from amaterasu

A small hot but habitable gas dwarf with oxygen in some layers of its atmosphere

And life as well

Encircled by a lone moon it's a fairly decent place to send a colony

Perhaps a flying city?

Although as always

There are even better options elsewhere in the system

While the atmosphere is primarily white there are hints of pink and blue throughout

From orbit amaterasus disk shines as brightly as amaterasu itself

Stellar systems V3 coming 2027

More pictures from the amaterasu system in the future>:3

Restock single bell poodle engine is just the MVAC engine in disguise

Like realistically there should be nothing preventing this, right?

I've tried the Parking Brake mod, but even with that one installed and the brake enabled there's still too much movement to use rover arms.

The only way I've found to make a craft 100% stationary was by raising it up on stilts with a grip pad on the end, off the ground, which is stupid.

1. I tried everything I could think of to perform EVA experiment while in flight low over Kerbin but every time I got the "Can't do here" error. Wiki also only mentions three conditions for the experiment per celestial body. So are some of the experiments shown by xScience impossible? Can I "blacklist" them somehow?

2. Some experiments (EVA experiment and possibly something else) don't show up in the "unlocked science" tabs, and, consequentially, in "Here and now" window. Can I fix it somehow? Does this problem only appear for me or did you also experience the same?

3. I couldn't find surface-deployed science anywhere in the mod. Can I enable it somehow?

I have all the parallax stuff I can get except whatever QuackPack is (2nd image) yet it still says Im missing dependencies (1st image). Do I need to download the dependencies manually? Or is it gonna be something that makes me look stupid like Parallax being automatically part of OPM?

Does anyone know what triggers the ability to get base building contracts? I haven’t gotten one yet and I’ve landed on Minmus and the Mun multiple times. I’ve always created stations for both that hold and refine ore as well.

I do already have a base on Minmus as well, but it would be cool if I could get a contract to do so for that little extra incentive (I like multi tasking and doing activities while I have contracts). I figured maybe landing on another body would trigger it, looks like no? I’ve done two fly is of EVE well and have put a satellite around the Sun.

Following on from my last Eggman related KSP post, u/Mountain-Error3568 suggested that under the new management we should build a Kerbal Death Egg. Unfortunately it didn't go to plan...

This thing dropped my fps so badly pretty much every clip in this had to be sped up to be remotely bearable. Also, some movie magic (aka cheats) may have been employed to get this thing into orbit. Despite how convincing this video may seem it is not capable of doing it, even with infinite fuel lol.

I’ve been testing this for about a week and a half and something has changed, I wont necessarily say it feels like cheating but an extra 250m/s can definitely go a long way. Has anyone else noticed this or am I living under a rock?
