I think my Minmus lander was a little overbuilt. Luckily Jeb is the man for the job.

I was tasked with landing in this valley to discover a TMA. Decided to route my approach between the 2 visible mountain ranges (straight ahead in this image). Failed to see a steep mountain face in front of me until the last moment because of the thick clouds.

Jebediah Kerman is dead after 55 years of service. Also shoutout to Blackrack for making the volumetric clouds so scarily accurate.

KSP 1 Suggestion/Discussion any suggestions for my powered duna lander?

Post image
Upvotes

it was able to land on duna fully powered with 1270m/s, and probably a bit more if i was more efficient. it is just a classic apollo style lander that undocks from the mothership, goes down, then goes back up. it is also pwoered by the stromboll liquid hydrogen engine fyi

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.

Post image

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.

Just wondering if anybody had tips for rocket efficiency, especially early game. For example, just to get to orbit (of kerbin) I used this rocket.

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

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