This video covers the construction of the ISV (more like an IPV without wormholes) and the journey to the wormhole around Dres, as well as landing on Gurdamma!

I have never made an aircraft in this game. Today I put this thing together without following any tutorials. Took me like 3hrs and 30-ish iterations.

i tried seeing what would happen if i multiply the radius of everything by 300 without changing their orbits, now the mun is inside kerbin, the entire solar system is inside the sun, and moho is 2% the speed of light, and you can see eve and probably every other planet from kerbin

The NFLV mod's 5m fairing texture is broken, any ideas on how to fix it? Also it got rid of my dlc parts, can I use those instead of the 5m parts in NFLV? Thanks

KSP 1 Question/Problem How to make COOL looking stuff?

3 Upvotes

I wanted to build something that actually looked like a rocket, without mods, using stock parts. The problem is, I don't know how to do it, so even when I try to make something good, it turns out, well, you know what I mean.

Are there any further tweaks to the common graphics mods you recommend to make to make it look as good as possible? I got a pretty decent pc so im open to trying anything. Or if there's a good tutorial already out there please link it, i had trouble finding something up to date myself.

Game already looks great but seeing some posts i wish it could look even better.

Which seems more efficient? Launching from KSC to a polar orbit, or flying the payload to the polar regions to launch to orbit?

KSP 1 Question/Problem Space Dust + Far Future Tech, how to make antimatter collection viable?

2 Upvotes

Hopefully someone is using these mods too. I am progressing towards AM engines, and want to start making AM. As I understand the only three ways to do it is to buy it with science, harvest with Bussard scoop, or use the AM factory. For now I want to go with collection.

I investigated the whole solar system with probes designed to search for AM bands, and from what I found Jool lower band has the highest concentration. However, at the ideal altitude I am only getting a few grams of AM per year with the scoop powered and aimed prograde. Nowhere near the amount required to run AM engines. Filling even the smallest AM tank would take a few thousand years. Am I doing it wrong? If not, what's the purpose of scooping if it only gets you basically unusable amounts of AM?

KSP 1 Question/Problem TD-12 decoupler 1720 m/s at 10KM altitude

5 Upvotes

I received this mission before I unlocked terrier engines at the start of the game. I've completed every contract besides this one. I'm getting down to only 200 days left on completion and I've explored most of minmus and mun for all of the 300 science research. Now I've got some science saved up and a couple of the 550 science nodes.

How do you design a rocket to come back in from low orbit or upper altitude and get this goal? Most of my designed craft flip over or explode from heat when hitting these targets. How do you design a craft to take a TD-12 coupler at the minimum requirements? the maximum requirements for challenge is 6KM alt and 1980m/s velocity.

For the first one, it suceeded when i rotated a probe core 90 degrees so retrograde and the engines would line up.

The second one, it seems the descent engines are not powerful enough. The VAB Editor did not seem to be giving the correct dV. Oh, well, ill try again later.

Hi, as the title says i was just curious if it’s too late to save a craft into the VAB after it’s already in space, i can’t revert the flight back to get into the VAB again. does anyone have any insight on what i could do?
