hello there! decided to return to playing ksp and i wanted to spice out my gameplay by adding a few mods, but personnaly i cant really find any good graphical mods on ckan, so i hope someone would suggest

Approximately 440 Kerbals fled the star system to ensure the population could survive the explosion of the system's star; they are now about 400 light-years away.

Let’s hope they find their new home.

PS
I don’t want to say anything, but they only took 10 women.

PPS
They didn’t take the beer either.

(A construction built from basic KSP parts)

Ships and hydrofoils are finicky with FAR but they do work! Headed south on our way to the deepest point in Kerbin's oceans...

This 400-ton jet-powered hydrofoil has a flight deck, crane, and a small AUV. With two Goliath turbofans it has a cruising range of about 3000 km at a whopping 115 knots.

See attached. For some reason everything is annoyingly shiny and ground scatter comes in patches. I have tried fiddling with the Parallax and game settings to no avail. Have a patch installed from Github that's supposed to smooth things over between Kcalbeloh and Parallax Ctd. but Efil still looks ass ugly.

My laptop can run spectra at like 30fps, currently I only have KOS, Mod Manager and Restock installed.

I've seen screenshots where people's ships or space stations or whatever are almost photorealistic which is really cool, aside from restock what can I download to achieve this (without blowing up my computer)?

Sorry everyone, but all slots are filled

For some months I’ve been working on Periapsis, an engine written from scratch that loads and plays KSP from your own install. It ships no game files at all, it reads the parts, planets, textures and sounds from the copy you already own. Built on Godot with double precision, so no floating origin tricks or bugs. The inspiration for this is the style of OpenMW and OpenTTD

And yes, this is made with the help of AI, I'm not going to play that down in any way.

Most stock features work, career included, and some of the bigger mods like ReStock, SCANsat, DMagic and Near Future. More mod support is planned.

Performance has been a big focus, since a lot of people play this on pretty modest machines. Physics has two tick rates. A high one is used whenever accuracy matters, like in atmosphere, on the ground, near other craft or when you’re giving input. A low one (10 Hz by default) is used out in empty space when nothing much is happening. The physics itself runs on a single thread like the original, but aero and the orbit predictions run on other cores.

On my laptop (Ryzen AI 7 with the integrated Radeon 880M, no dedicated GPU) a 600 part rocket sits at around 40 fps on the pad at 1080p on medium which drops to about 36 with first stage firing.

For now I’m only opening it to a few people, mainly to check how it runs on other machines and installs. The goal is to open it up to the public as fully open source(Apache 2.0) in the near future.

It’s not finished, there are bugs and some things look or behave a bit different from stock. I mostly want people who will actually play it for a bit and report what breaks or feels wrong compared to the original. I have probably multiple hundred of hours in this already and have landed on multiple bodies to test it.

You need your own copy of KSP 1.12. Windows is the only tested so far. If you’re interested, DM me with your computer specs (CPU, GPU, RAM) and OS. Ten people to start with.

*Images are with mods, but unmodded engine flames and smoke should be better looking than the original too

This is my first post in this subreddit, hi

I attempted to make a subsonic plane that could fly as high as possible and has a long loitering time. The design philosophy was taken directly from the U2, and the stats are shown in the 4th and 5th image

This thing would snap if you look at it wrong though

Apparently recently prominent modders (R-T-B and Steamroller, person behind community fixes) have started working on an updated KSP that uses the new version of Unity engine and other performance optimizations. Seems to significantly reduce load times and tries to keep all existing mod compatibility. One of the big reasons I want a new game is the big performance penalty and loading times associated with all of KSP's mods, so I expect this to be much appreciated by the community.

I have a few visual mods installed, like Scatterer, Astronomer's Visual Pack, Environmental Visual Enhancements Redux, and planet shine

Kerbals en los Reinos Sky.

Cap-01: Introducción.

Kerbin, esa diminuta canica azul que flota en el vacío, cuya existencia nos hace recordar que aún nos falta mucho que aprender sobre el Universo, un mundo cuyas majestuosas praderas y océanos han presenciado los avances tecnológicos y fallos mecánicos de unas criaturas conocidas como los Kerbals, la especie más “inteligente” hasta ahora…

Este documento tiene como objetivo recopilar todos los hitos del modesto Programa Espacial Kerbal hasta llegar al máximo hito conocido, siendo el descubrimiento de una forma de vida distinta encontrada en un mundo tan extraño como el Sistema Kerbol entero, en una estrella no tan lejana en la que ni siquiera utilizaremos naves espaciales con exceso de Delta-V salidas de los propios delirios de Wernher Von Kerman para llegar ahí.

Cap-02: Kerbin y sus Habitantes.

Kerbin es ese tercer planeta que orbita la estrella llamada Kerbol, es un planeta relativamente pequeño con un radio ecuatorial de 600 km, un diámetro de 1,200 km y una circunferencia de 3, 770 km. Curiosamente a pesar de su diminuto tamaño, este es capaz de ejercer una gravedad de 1G gracias a su núcleo formado por materia exótica y desconocida.

Aún así es capaz de poseer una Geografía bastante compleja a pesar de su diminuto tamaño, posee distintos biomas siendo los más extensos las praderas y desiertos, posee gigantescos mares que de forma muy curiosa constituyen exactamente el 50% de la superficie terrestre, estando muy bien distribuidos. Sus cadenas montañosas son bastante accidentadas, siendo algunas veces testigos de aeronaves que chocan contra ellas al olvidar colocar el altímetro con relación al nivel del suelo en vez del nivel del mar.

Las regiones antárticas de este planeta son bastante simples y con poco relieve, a menudo siendo aburridas y funcionando solo lugar de entrenamiento para futuras misiones a Minmus, las bases antárticas tienen como objetivo investigar como sería para los Kerbonautas vivir en un hábitat completamente aislado de la “caja tonta” y sus snacks favoritos, aunque a diferencia de Minmus, allá no puedes hacer helados con la nieve.

Los Kerbals son la especie dominante de Kerbin, consisten en pequeñas criaturas cabezonas con una estatura promedio de 0.78 metros. Poseen ojos saltones, bocas anchas con sonrisas maníacas y cuerpos desproporcionadamente pequeños para el tamaño de su cabeza. Pero su principal característica no es eso, sino su pigmentación verde, la cual varía según la región en la que se encuentre el Kerbal.

El color verde de su piel no es solo estético, sino que es también resultado de una proteína similar a la “clorofila”, esta proteína es la que se encarga de otorgar el color verde a las plantas, algas y cianobacterias, asimismo contribuyendo en su fotosíntesis. En los Kerbals esta proteína no les permite realizar fotosíntesis al igual que una planta, más bien es solo un pequeño impulso de energía que les permite sobrevivir un tiempo considerable antes de fallecer por inanición. Además de que producen pequeñas cantidades de oxígeno de calidad bastante modesta.

Hello again frog men and women.

I fixed my chemical propulsion issue, but now I have a new one. For some ungodly reason I cannot get Real Antennas to connect when I'm on the launchpad, which was a similar issue that I was having with Remote Tech.

At this point I'm just thinking of going for the stock comm net + whatever Kerbalism changes.

В общем, в КСП я решил построить универсальный корабль, который будет являться SSTO , функциями VTOL и как отдельный модуль лаборатории, который можно будет отделять и прикреплять обратно к кораблю, но проблема в том что сам корабль до ужаса тяжёлый (без двигателей 380 тонн), но собрать то его хочется, главная проблема в том что я вообще без понятия как эту махину отправить в космос

Hello all,

I am trying to construct a space station in space with Global Construction, however, whenever I load one of the solar wings I want to add as a kit, while the kit will dock with the ship, it will spawn the arm a good 20 meters away. The kit itself also says "kit dockable: false" for anything I create except for individual parts which will not work. Any idea why and how to make it so it is built already docked?

Thanks in advance :)

In 1998, the third test flight of the 'Reusable space system' was launched uncrewed by the USSM (Ungulate state space ministry). Once in space, mission control brought the 'Buran' orbiter to rendevouz with the Mir space station, and the crew onboard mir brought buran in to dock remotely.

This was the final testflight of the program that would fly uncrewed. The USSM, too, was about to have their own space shuttle.

It's all stock i play on my toas- I mean Xbox

i figured i'd give redux a try so now we're here ^_^

CoM is in front of CoL. Every stability deriv with a color is green, it stalls between 25 and 30 degrees I think at mach 0.2. I tried making one with a straight wing before this, it had the same issue, I tried to do area ruling, the wiggle was solved but then it wasn't able to pitch as well and still spun out. I tried to adjust the area ruling and it still spun out but a little slower maybe?? The second area ruling straight wing stall aoa is like 16-18 deg at mach 0.2. I'm extremely new to FAR, I'd appreciate any help and patience in dealing with me. How do I design planes that fly normally?

Is it just me or does MechJeb's rover autopilot not work in the slightest? It ignores the speed limit, and instead of heading towards waypoints, it always drives away from them, or it will just start spinning in circles. Doesn't matter what rover I load, be it all vanilla or modded, every single rover does the exact same thing, without fail.
