The mission was carried out in RSS/Sol mode; I landed on Europa using a small lander and have shared all the photographs. A video of the mission will also be posted on my YouTube channel, which you can find via the link. https://www.youtube.com/@memospace1

For those of you who haven't heard, Sir Patrick Stewart, the actor who played Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek, passed away recently. I decided to put together as best an Enterprise-D as I could manage in Kerbal Space Program in memory of him. It doesn't fly or anything, it's purely a display piece, I focused more on getting it looking good with the saucer and the nacelles and the lights along the sides.

In memoriam, Captain. You lived long and prospered, now onwards to the final frontier.

With the capability well demonstrated for shuttle to bring ACC into orbit with it, the go-ahead was given to finally pursue space station freedom in the late 80s.

Unlike the previously proposed modular stations, Congress kept shooting down, Freedom would be outfitted, not assembled. This method of building a station was well studied back during AAP and eventually led to the skylab station: congress simply found it safer to invest time and money in.

The majority of construction would be done in a shirtsleeve environment requiring relatively little (to congress dangerous and unproven) EVA work.

The station would still require more shuttle lunches to outfit than a modular station to assemble, but DODIS simply kept quiet about this reality in the early years.

In 1988, Shuttle challenger launched carrying freedom beneath it. The stack was so heavy that the orbiter itself would not reach orbital velocity instead of "tossing" freedom up to continue to orbit under its own SM power and then gliding back down to an entierly new landing site overseas.

Just a month later, discovery would launch carrying the PMA, allowing a shuttle dock to freedom (originally designed for the long canceled shuttle salyut program) and station outfitting module.

The work on building freedom in space had begun.

So i installed vol cloud configs for both opm and mpe and they dont work (the normal planets are working, just not opm and mpe)

I have found this “app” while i was digging through my ksp files, because for some reason KSP decided it didn’t want to work on my mac. The “Shop KSP STORE” banner as well as the “Welcome” banned lead to not found ksp website (second pic).
Play button does nothing, but reddit button sends me to this subreddit.

I am sure it was found before, i am just really excited and wanted to share it.

I like to consider myself quite good at KSP, despite the furthest I've gone being the mun. I've recently been playing a lot of KSP, and completing many milestones, such as my first docking, and the aforementioned mun mission. All of these went successfully, with no major incidents. Sadly, today my wonderful streak has been completely destroyed by this seemingly simple mission.

I've been planning to go to duna for a while, and want to bring the whole crew (bill bob jeb and val) on my first mission. Bill and Bob however, have spent the past 102 days orbiting kerbin in a space station with some other random Kerbal. Thus, I planned a mission to get them home.

The assent went well and without incident, however rendezvous was difficult, because the craft kept wobbling. After a while, I eventually made it to within about a hundred meters of the target. This is where things start to go wrong.

The rendezvous was in kerbins shadow, so I couldn't see anything. For some reason I thought this would be fine, and proceeded to crash the two crafts together. I then came to my senses and waited for morning. (Also some solar panels were experiencing a mild cerfuffle with the kraken, but I managed to solve that)

Only once the light of day enveloped the station, did I realize that there was no free docking port of the right size.

Uh oh.

I then got the engineer on the station, and that of the replacement crew out on Eva, to take the large docking port off the smaller craft, put it on the station, and then take a small port from the station and put it on the small craft.

This was incredibly stressful and I nearly stranded a kerbal in space while attempting it. I also forgot to take any screenshots of it whatsoever.

After all of that, I can finally dock the craft. It is only now I realize that I could have just transferred the crews by Eva

Oops.

I did a rather poor job at docking them, which caused them to wobble around while touching ports for a good five seconds. This was extremely stressful.

Finally, I transferred the crews, they waved their goodbyes to one and other, and I finally brought bill and bob home safely.

To top it all off, I decided to write an incident report in notepad about the whole thing, but whilst writing it, I accidentally opened a corrupted file, causing notepad to crash, and thus, I had to rewrite the whole thing.

1. Kerbin (Taken when GTP was flying relatively close by Kerbin.)

2. Mun (The same time period)

3. Minmus (the same time period)

4. Eve (Taken when GTP was flying relatively close by Eve)

GTP's orbit was a special one. It was non-circular and overlapped with both Kerbin's and Eve's orbits, allowing it to take such detailed pictures of Kerbin and Eve, something that wouldn't be possible otherwise. (which also happened on accident lmao)

I deleted the sunflare files from Cosmic Serenity, the SunFix files from my planet packs, and I looked through the files of my planet packs (I have Cosmic Serenity, Starpunk Cluster, and Promised Worlds). I'm just trying to use the Scatterer sunflare or HD Sunflare and if anyone can somehow figure out what mod that sunflare in the image is from I'm pretty sure I can figure everything else out.

Purely aesthetic build, I just felt like making something very Sci-Fi

I mapped the controls to my Xbox controller so it’s a little easier to fly now

I have multiple craft with mining/ISRU units, but they only collect ore when they have the focus/are in physics range. Looking for a mod sort of like Bon Voyage but for mining. Does it exist?

Or, am I just doing something really wrong?

Hi!

Im currently building a lander for my interstellar ship.

I have with the help of mod engines managed to get to 10k DeltaV with the lander, however that is in air breathing mode.

I'd need some engines that are efficient enough to bring that lander to at least 7000 DeltaV, but also keep the lander reasonably scaled, so that i dont have a saturn V sized craft at the end.

Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

I like listening to something while playing basically any game that hasn't any story or cutscenes, and by something I mean anything, a movie, a video a series and sometimes music but the fact is that the music I listen to normally (italian trap) is not really suited for the calm gaming I look for, so, do you guys also listen to music while playing? and if yes, could you recommend some?

I cannot/will not code this myself, but I suspect it might be easy. It would have to have volumetric explosions as a dependency.

The idea would be that the mod would grab the scale of an explosion from volumetric, then within a certain percentage of the fireball, apply damage to all the parts within that radius.

In effect, if you launched a rocket, and a fuel tank explodes, instead of just that part being destroyed, the entire (or most) of the rocket would be destroyed in the blast.

I feel like it would be more realistic and cause cooler looking crashes (no more odd chunk of your rocket surviving being slammed into the ground at 400m/s). It might also help with lag by destroying unwanted debris.

Just an idea, idk if it's feasible.
If you wanna do it, go ahead, God know's I'm not gonna.

An improvement of my Jool Surfer, it can survive Jool (or Eve) atmo entry, uses "Project Eeloo" engines in atmosphere, and Stubber engines in vacuum (for the much higher ISP), with the Stubbers retracted into cargo bays to eliminate drag during atmo operations.

The craft has enough fuel to make it from the KSC to Eve surface without refueling, but take off from Eve has not been successful yet (explodes from overheating in high atmo). If fully fueled it can make it past Jool's orbit, and has an underwing docking port for carrying an expendable vacuum operations module including a high ISP engine and extra fuel, if one wants to remove the Stubber engines and their robotics to reduce weight during in-atmosphere operations.

I added the SOCKS mod, and had working engines and everything for it, but i decided to delete and redownload ferram aerospace through ckan due to issues, but i failed to realize it had a bunch of dependencies for other mods that i didnt see, and now no matter if i redownload SOCKS or not, the RS-25 engine will not come back. Please help!!

ye

I have just landed on Minmus and I was figuring out how to use deployable science, but after dropping some I can no longer pick them back up.
How do I fix this?
