KSC rocket Styx-1 launched this morning with a three-point mission plan: 1) Land on the Mun 2) Pick up the stranded Bill Kerman 3) Get our boys back home Styx-1 landed on the upper lip of a crater approximately 1000m from Bill and subsequently lost control. What happened next is under investigation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LnQCx7lc6s

^^^ He was a true scientist, collecting data to the very end. R.I.P. In other news, Project Land on Everything In Career Mode took a huge leap forward today when I finally dropped a ship on Eeloo. It was an exciting journey that included a 15 minute real-time wait for Eeloo to get into the right position, a 12 minute real-time nuke rocket burn, a not-totally-intentional gravity turn around Jool, and finally touching down with 50 units of fuel left in the tank. Only the moons around Jool that aren't named Pol remain unexplored, and I want to try building a massive multi-probe dropping monstrosity to get them all in one trip. This game is awesome.

Is there a way to line up encounters without endlessly loving around with the nav node because thats what's keeping me from playing right now.

You can download it here. e: Just landed on Duna for the first time, on a slope, and my lander fell over and broke. Loaded my quicksave and it's back in Kerbin orbit with a 2 year wait for a transfer window again

I feel like building a space station that actually does something; I looked at the Station Science mod but it seems to be dead-ish? Most recent version is from last December.

Interstellar has a lab that generates science with multipliers based on where it is. Quite fun to setup and run, especially if you use other mods like RemoteTech and TAC Life Support, which makes it so that you'll actually need infrastructure set up.

DStecks posted:That's what the lab is for? The lab does nothing by itself. I meant an ISS-type project requiring multiple launches, to be assembled in space, kept in Kerbin's orbit and that would generate science somehow (it could consume [resources] or be time-based, I don't know). The science station mod seems to fit the bill, I'm just worried about its status considering the lack of updates.

This sounds more complicated than I wanted, but that could be a good thing. I like the idea of life support, having to shuttle supplies up there.

My non-goon friend is really into aesthetics. You guys may enjoy some of his craft, so here are some screenshot I took:      It took some effort to land, with the large yaw inertia. But it made it there without refueling.

In theory I love life support mods. In practice they usually have multiple dependencies and also several other part and storage mods to make feasable, which would be fine if KSP didnt poo poo itself in terror when your mod numbers jumped. The closer I get to the mythical 3 gb the higher the chance that KSP will crash and then refuse to run for several start attempts. I love this game to death but it is really starting to suffer from that 3gb limit. There are so many crazy wonderful things that people are making and the mod community is surprisingly concerned with cross functionality and compatibility, KSP just cant handle all of it at once. Its unfortunate, looking at the performance numbers my PC should be able to run like 6-8 instances of KSP without pegging out, but a development game is still just that. 64bit will be a very nice jump to let me use the other massive mound of memory my PC just has sitting idle when it comes though.

It's ugly as-is, and I don't use it because of that. I mean, functionally it is good, but a stack of RCS canisters with RCS cylinders glued to the sides? Ugly and horrible to use as gently caress.

 It may have been hard to notice in the first pic. I don't know the preferred method to sharing files these days, so I tried embedding the craft file in the attached picture eaglesstocraft.jpg. If you open it in notepad, you should be able to delete everything before "ship = Eagle SSTO" and have the craft file.

Does anyone know a mod that lets you build your own techtree? I've spent the last hour doing X-15 style rocket plane testflights with FAR. It is a considerably more fun way to begin the game: same biomes, but considerably more challenging than "press space, collect science" edit: I can probably edit the parts to have them unlock earlier... HRMMM...

Amberskin posted:Same thing here. I plan to grab my dead kerbal using a grapper somehow and bring him back to Kerbin to give him an appropriate funeral ceremony. I did something far less ceremonious. This was an epic mission, conceived totally on the fly. Short version. I built a big buggy with docking ports on it for no real reason. Shot it at the Mun, crashed it like every goddamn ship to the Mun since the ARM update. Proceeded to visit the Each landing site had the pods set up as habitation out of whatever useful debris was left that hadn't been looted for the small buggies, like solar arrays and lamps. Anyway I visited both Kerbonaut death sites sites and with a little part shuffling loaded both buggies on to the big buggy. I then proceeded to one of the landing sites again and did some more EVA work to prep a pod for attachment to the bottom port of the big buggy. It turned into this monster over teh course of over 10km of driving, lots of salvage, a rollover and justthe usual poo poo that happens with wheeled things in KSP.

While attempting a landing on Duna, everything not a sun disappeared. That's the map view. No planets, no moons, no satellites, no fuel tanks whipping round Kerbin.  Jeb, what have you done.

That eagle ship is incredible, I can't imagine what it took to get it looking that good. Every one of my ships is far more function-over-form and it's getting a wee bit boring. There's this guy on reddit who's been making "Seat of the Pants" ships; bare minimum ships to travel to the Mun, Minmus, Eeloo, often utilizing things like exposed seats rather than command pods, and leaving the parachute landing stage in Kerbin orbit before commencing an extra-Kerbinary burn. This one sent 12T to Eve: https://imgur.com/a/9TWpM

Minimizing what you bring to the surface and back is really the way to go. I just did a munar rover using that strategy, and it turned out to be so light that the single parachute on the transfer cradle plus what was left in the retrorockets would have been enough to plant it back on Kerbin in drivable condition had it not landed in the ocean.

Hey Maxmaps, KSP crashed on me and popped up an error message saying it'd be great if I sent the crash dump to the developers. Is this true or is it just a Unity default message?

Look at hte crashlog and see if it was just an out of memory one. If it was and you have a bunch of mods, don't bother sending it. If it's something else, it never hurts to send them.
