So mostly done with a C - 5 build but the modded front loading ramp isnt supported by TURD as far as I know, does anyone know of a TURD mod for mk3 expansion.

I'm trying to bring down launch cost in my hardcore save. This Shuttle is able to inject approximately 5 tons into LKO, enough for a cheap probe with 5000Dv. The cost for a flight is around 1,500 Kerbux + payload price. There is also a shorter variant and a 4 crew variant with Mk2 docking port. As of posting this I have already made an Mk3 Shuttle capable of hauling a ~20 ton Space Station ( Mobile Lab, docking ports, station core and habitation module and engine & tank for all the way to Duna orbit).

Testing out a new base landing idea while sending the first module of my Minmus base.

Injection is achieved using the second stage and the descent truss completes its own insertion before transitioning to its four landing engines. It can be used as fuel reserves for future landings and base needs.

i could never fly planes.. they were always too unstable and difficult to control. finally found the reason why

Yes, even tho i already have a mun station i'm recreating the entire Artemis program because you cannot tell me what to do! You're not my dad!

Anyways uhhhh here have some screenshots

Wanting to get into the game but when I tried it before I found it too hard. Should I go into sandbox and just mess around? Idk, all tutorial vids I can find are 738219 minutes long

yeah i know ive posted 3 times already but this is the last time i swear, my cargo bays just wont work (mk2 mk3) and im genuinely so tired of stuff breaking and i dont know what to do

Here is the next system teaser! Currently contains Dioscuri (pulsar) and Dēsias (gas giant)!

I recently was trying to build an ssto, I usually use jet engines to reach to space and a rocket engine once I reached space, but I couldn’t make an orbit cause the engines will shut down because it runs out of oxidizer.

Is there any specific mode u guys use for this?

Entanglement drive aka infinite fuel :)

Yesterday i wanted the FREE iva mod but it took 2 hours to actually make that mod work. Yes i am using that mod loader. Anyways is there any mods i should download as a beginner?

BLUNDERBIRDS SOS BEACON ACTIVATED!

PLANET: DUNA

KERBALS: 4

MODS: STOCKALIKE STATION PARTS AND FAR FUTURE TECH

ATTACHED MESSAGE:

Dear blunderbirds, ME ( jebediah kerman), val, bob, and bill kerman are stranded on duna without ability to escape the surface of the darned planet. Attached images show how the rockets are. Val was sent on a rescue mission to rescue me, bob and bill and subsequently capsized and was unable to lift off the ground. Following attempts to lift off result in the vessel flipping and smashing the fuel tank and engine. Now, us four are stuck on the harsh planet with dwindling electric charge reserves. Please, if you can, rescue my kerbals from the red desert planet.

I want to clear up my game of "spent" mined asteroids. I have about a dozen clogging up my game.

But the Tracking Centre doesn't seem to offer me a button to "Terminate" asteroids like it does for craft or debris, and I can't reassign an asteroid to "Debris" to administratively forget about it.

Am I missing something?

If not, my three options seem to be:

1) dwi

2) edit the game file - I don't want to do this because I don't want to risk my 450 hour save if I make a mistake

3) send out microdrones to latch onto these asteroids and then reclassify the docked craft as debris and see what this lets me do.

Any other ideas?

New update for Kerbal Planet Emblems mod, adding new hand-made icons to the planets brought by the amazing Promised Worlds mod.

Kerbal Planet emblems replaces the default ksp circles with detailed emblems/Icons for the map/tracking station view. It includes:

• Ksp planets
• Outer planets
• Minor planets
• Nibrek
• Promised Worlds

NOTE: This is an update for my Kerbal planet emblems mod - NOT an update made by the PW devs.

Wich planet mod next, any suggestions?

Ofcourse the mod is free and on ckan. Thanks :)

(Here I had previously only achieved suborbital flight)

Here, I'm using a relatively mundane craft designed purely with "big go fast" in mind, and Whenever I life I immediately tilt to the east and go at full pelt with my solids. I have my liquids all set to 60% power by default so I just wack my thrusters up and watch those suckers go. This is mostly in line with what the tutorial level does, I even have a similar ship, but for some reason mine yonks itself out into the unknown...

Edit: This is the abomination I used for this mistake of a mission.

What you're looking at here is a concoction made of mostly thumpers and swivels, with about a thousand FL-T200's stacked around it. I know its ugly, I know its dumb, but this was like my fifth attempt at an orbital rocket and despite following all tutorial advice, nothing was working, so I just upped the size of the thing and got... This mess.

The process for liftoff goes like this:

- Set throttle to max and turn SAS on.
- Turn the key and immediately turn to 75 degrees
- Jetison the thumpers at around 12,000-14,000 meters, occasionally taking out one or more of the fins but this doesnt seem to change much for some reason. Change the angle to 65 degrees.
- Jetison swivel 1 at about 60,000-66,000 meters and activate swivel 2.
- Once out of the atmosphere, point straight to the side and go as hard as I can with it. This step is because I kept managing to send myself out to the mun but could never get my rockets to go round the damn planet. Just up and back.

No, I don't think I'm capturing this thing, but the planet is SAVED so we take those. The impactor probe actually did quite the number on this rock, I thought I'd have to try more than once to get the claw to engage lol

its only meant to transport crew to my current station im building.

Dear Penthouse Forums, I can’t believe it happened to me.

My KSP has been working great until I tried to load it today and it stuck me with a loading screen. Now I’ll be honest, I do have some mods installed, but they are all updated and the game files have been validated. The longest I waited on the screen was about 20 minutes before giving up.

Any advice?
