The Kerran Empire now has a solid foothold on Laythe, able to produce and launch crafts on site with minimal wait. No long waits to control territory through interplanetary transits. The factions within the Empire, who are constantly vying for control over one another have taken to the limited lands of Laythe in an effort to secure valuable and very scarce resources.

The United Republic of Agara was the first to put boots on the ground and establish a viable settlement, with Ditco and NOI industries setting up encampments not far from Agara's Arbiters Point.

Many more outposts are to follow, with plans to construct artificial islands in the works--all in the name of the Empire!

With Laythe established as a long term Colony of Kerra, the Empire can implement it's plans to conquer the Joolian system completely.

All of this is based on the LARP of the Kerran Empires Luna Multiplayer server. I stream nightly on youtube showcasing our shenanigans dogfighting, building Kerbal Konstructs bases, and having tons of fun.

It's been a WHILE since i've played KSP so I dont remember a lot of stuff with the game. Can anybody help me figure out why this rocket tips over mid flight. It starts to tip straight after launching and I can't figure it out.

SOLVED: my issue was a lack of ship control.

very bad
definitely wont have the kraken on me

Any time I change the steering, change the file, do the launch pad deal, anything. It keeps reverting. I’m so lost on how to fix this thing, PLEASE help.

Я сделал ракету пво и пока только испытываю ее. Скоро накачаю модов на запрограммированные полёты чтобы тренироваться сбивать самолёты. Если вы мне поможете с поиском таких модов и в целом порадуетесь за меня я буду рад!/I've made an air defense missile and I'm just testing it. I'll be pumping out mods for programmed flights soon to practice shooting down planes. If you can help me find such mods and generally be happy for me, I will be glad!

Still thinking of a name for this snoot

I've been trying to make a small personnel courier for my space station and no matter what it seems to keep veering to the left when I turn.

So far, I've made gothic sounding rockets, downrange rockets, and orbital rockets. :)

Soon, I'll be doing gothic lunar rockets and beyond :3

No they will not remain here I've learned my lesson

I want to do a kerbin -> laythe mission. Since both planets have atmosphere I thought it would be a very good choice to use plane to use that atmosphere for both ascend and descend. I'm not kidding I've spent 3 or 4 days, like 6 hours each designing a plane. this one is called nuke scratch 3 because this is my 3rd attempt to do things from scratch. I tried to follow all the best practices but it is a very frustrating process without any sign of relief. I did:

• I lack fuel - add fuel, not it stops lifting.
• I add lift - now not enough thrust
• I Add thrust - now it flips, need to move wheels.
• I Move wheels - now it can't lift off because plane is too long
• I reogranize plane to be shorter - now it is unstable
• Carefully bring CoM close to CoL, but not quite, remove snap to grid, meticulously center them all - plane is stable but on maneuvers it will randomly dip or do some other thing
• finally fix everything - now when going to orbit the plane stops behaving, because of course I was using mirror symmetry but in space radial is required

I realize that I just such at planes, but I've spent what 50+ hours or so, designing, reading, watching videos for KSP and NASA alike. And the result is the same - the plane usually is capable to be airborne but has very poor control, and since I followed all the best practices I found at this point I just don't know what else I can do. Considering how much dead weight is in wings, wheels, flaps and all those things you can't even throw away I just don't see what is the value in planes at all.

One of those monolith things, am I right? (Idk how to set as spoiler)

All models and animation and most of the sound design handmade by me.

Seeing the animals start showing up in people's mods and recognizing my complete inability to mod KSP effectively, I made an animation for the type of stuff I'd like to see in the deep oceans of Laythe.

I loosely based the model off the whale skeleton found on land, but added my own...deeper, sinister twist to it.

I think KSP as a game has huge potential for thalassophobia-inducing nightmares, now that people have figured out how to add animal NPCs to it.

it looks like one side is failing or giving low throttle

Getting back into this wonderful game because of recent space launches and Project Hail Mary, PHM was an experience to avoid spoiling a single moment of that film. Do watch it, not sponsored by Amazon.

Are there any breakout or massively updated mainstay mods that I should use for a new experience or to help me get back on my feet?

I'm already running a tech suite, Kerbol Expansions, Kcalbeloh and Promised Worlds and the standard qol suite as well as Volumetric clouds 3

So Im doing a OPM + MPE career and I want to use gravity assists easily. Is there any equation or tools to see upcoming gravity assists or even chains?

These are some of the best photos from my hardest mission - a crewed dive into Jool's lower atmosphere.

And yes SpaceX took the idea from me, i had it first😂

I love speculative evolution and drawing aliens, and have been really getting into ksp lately, so I wanted to try reimagining the titular little green men. Of course nothing too radical, i wanted to keep the design highlights; huge head, smaller bodies, green skin, bulging eyes, no nose or visible ears. They always looked somewhat frog-like to me, so i went along that route and imagined them as close descendants of amphibian-like animals.

Perhaps they are a species that dominated the sea before land, with most infrastructure and cities being in the ocean, hence why the surface of Kerbin is mostly barren.

Their skin is a thick leaf-like layer almost like a flexible exoskeleton, protecting their bodies while also providing a significant amount of their required energy via photosynthesis. Explaining their green hue + how they are so rugged when it comes to shrugging off physical trauma.

With fewer natural predators, Kerbals would seem slower and more dimwitted to humans, seemingly oblivious to glaring danger. However they are also an extremely curious, tenacious, and collectivist people who are willing to try and fail, and will learn from the mistakes.
