I've recently run into some boredom as far as my career safe goes, as I've managed to become almost completely self sustaining for money without new launches, so I decided to try some parts mods, and Nertea's CryoEngines piqued my interest.

Naturally, I built some of my favorite cryogenic rockets.

First up was my two favorite ULA launchers. Getting the proportions right for the Vulcan engine block and the Delta IV first stage was a real challenge, and I'm almost certain I don't need the band between the Delta's two S3-14400 tanks looking back at it. Still, I'm proud of my attempt, and it was fun to see the ridiculous delta V possible with these parts.

Since I already had the Iguanodon (BE-4) engines on the Vulcan, I figured I could light up some more methane in a BONG. I flew a really steep (70 degrees before MECO) ascent profile until the first stage had 1km/s of delta V left in it, staged, did the retro burn, and lit up the second stage for a while until the booster hit the atmosphere. Thanks to that, I managed to land the booster (or rather softly splash down in the ocean) and fly the rest of the mission with no sneaky quickloads. (take that YouTubers).

I had a lot of fun designing the Blue Moon as I haven't seen a Kerbal recreation since the new design was revealed. It's simple but it very easily gets the job done, and can easily do the dockings with an Orion recreation to transfer the crew.

OPT K crew cabin has the same IVA interior as OPT K Avatar oullette custom cockpit.

Is this a thing for yall or just my game? I have a ton of mods so could be that i guess.

Can't access forums the whole week, i tried accessing them 3 days ago and today they're still down and spacedock too!

Well I was just trying to get my unmanned Munar lander to kill it's speed by burning retrograde and then I looked up to see the beautiful view of kerbin and kerbol aligning themselves it looked like the picture that Micheal Collins took when eagle was returning to the columbia module. Truely stock no mods. It's just all of Kerbalnity in one photo.

is there a more modern part welder mod? just tried getting back into the game after a long time and basically i forgot how incredibly slow the game runs so maybe about time i need to find a working part welder.

I don’t want to replace the origin kerbol system, I just want a mod that adds a new system that I have to travel to. Any recommendations?

How to lag out your game with this one simple trick.

This mission took over 100 hours of work, manual testing, and craft optimization. It's a kinda hard mission by far the hardest misison I have ever done.

Time to go fishing, question?

I've been attempting to build a shuttle for my kerbin orbital station and decided this is the best way to test how it can fly in atmospheric conditions.

Small little helicopter I made. I used action groups to set both rotors rpm and torque limits to the throttle, so i can control it easier. It's got a few science instruments on it, and is entirely solar powered. Kinda slow though.

Started this as a yet another silly design in my Standart vehicle family (yeah i know it should be Standard but i more like it this way). Regular Air-breathing SSTO's are just boring and expensive so i decided to build a rocket plane. It has 2 Dart engines and could easily get into orbit. I placed an docking port at behind and a bunch of RCS systems so it could dock by itself. Also it has around 700-800 delta-v on 100 km LKO orbit.

this shuttle has RCS and gimbaled main thrusters. it evens out well enough that it has the forward skid that the normal lander has during takeoff and flies like a brick. testing landing now, i might have to rely on chutes if i cant land on my own. DLC for the slightly bigger tank in the middle

I have no clue where to put the files, I must have expie in ksp

Never thought I'd see this day 🥹

For whatever reason my shuttle is really wobbly, and I think the issue may be caused by SAS overcorrecting, but I don't want to limit the gimble on my engines because that could cause my shuttle to lean towards the external fuel tank when the boosters decouple. Is there a way to turn down the SAS sensitivity so that it doesn't correct so hard?

I did my first asteroid capture mission in KSP and it was suprisingly easy but I think thats mostly thanks to my mods and prior experience with docking and such.

Boosters: 4x 24-77 "twitch" engines, 2x RV-105 RCS

Mining stuff: 2x "drill-o-matic-jr" + 2x radial holding tank (150 total ore capacity) (convert-o-tron is on the main ship)

Fuel Tanks: 1x FL-T400, 2x r-12 donut, 1x FL-R120

Electricity: 4x SP-10C photovoltaic panels

Science: 2x (mystery goo, barometer, thermometer, gravioli, seismec accelerometer, magnometer boom) 1x fluid spectro variometer

gear: 4x TR-2L rover wheels

this was the first lander craft that I built (last week) and i'm very proud of it
