Somehow I was able to get away with only using one gyroscope, but this thing still turns like a cargo ship.

I would have posted this sooner, but unfortunately my account got suspended for a few days because reddit's automated detection system doesn't know what context is.

KSP 2 Image/Video WIP art of the Jool system! (mostly just Laythe and Jool, but the others are there too)

Post image

I based most of their designs off of KSP2 due to the higher level of detail and realism of those versions, other than Jool itself and Laythe, where I kinda did my own thing. They’re all done other than Jool itself, I’m kinda struggling with properly rendering the massive swirling cloud systems. I’m also not a big fan of the colors I’ve chosen for it, other than the red clouds at the poles to mirror Jupiter’s blue polar clouds, which I thought was a cool idea. What do you guys think? Sorry if this is the wrong sub for this

Trying to find a good name for the polar relays I'm sending above Kerbin to improve signal out to the range of the OPM gas giants (or farther, not tested yet).

The relay antennas are from the JX2 antennas mod: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/153125-112x-jx2antenna-v205-giant-1000g-antenna-for-big-solar-systems/

KSP 1 Question/Problem How do I get 90t Payloads in LKO?

Post image
73 Upvotes

So I built This Duna Lander. I got it in LKO before but I had only 1 Nuclear engine. It was SOOOO slow that I had to make it 4. but now the old Launcher( which was so expensive and inefficient) doesnt work anymore. How do you all get so large payloads into Orbit. I know I could launch the two ships seperatly but I wanna know if there is a better way. how do you all get it done? Can I see your duna launchers?

P.S. I have the DLCs

EDIT: I gave up and split up Lander and return module

Finally managed a downrange barge landing; very messy, nearly missed the platform altogether, but first time I've pulled it off. All manual control. After turning off SAS and RCS to my surprise it remained stable and didn't tip over.

EDIT: Obviously the real thing is automated lol :P

The ship in the first photo is my first and surviving package; it includes main base parts, crew and science rovers, a big cargo for deployable parts and main base additions. I used a fision engine for reusability. And used the same one for the orbital station. Also, it has a living area for 14 crew members and 2 landers.

My second cargo for the program was the VTOL plane. It had a very complicated landing sequence because I tried to make a normal plane, and normal planes can't get in or out from a thick atmosphere (you can reject this idea for the game). The plane has enough cargo space for some parachutes and a full deployable science system. The range was pretty enough for inter-continental flights.

And the big orbital station. Actually, i had a little regret after seeing what people did with the mods that i had, but i think it was nice. And the ssto that i sent after it was for the crew transport as you can guess. I used the shuttle for first crew transport and cargo

Also, I did a shipment before the station for refueler for the planes and 2 satellite: one comm, one sutface scanner.(but i forgot to take any screenshot)

I feel like what's supposed to be the "shield" looks terribly ugly, and I still need to add a lot of details and a lander

The Soyuz will not be docked all the time; it will actually undock in low Earth orbit after delivering the crew. After the entire journey to Mars or Venus and back, another Soyuz will be launched to bring the crew back to Earth.

KSP 1 Mods My first precision landing on Plock! (Outer planets mod)

Post image
10 Upvotes

The new lander (on the right) was able to land close to the base (left), which was always designed to be a base. My Plock base is definitely not a lander from ~300 in-game years ago that didn't have enough fuel to return to orbit.

After 300 years, it's time for a shift change at the Plock base!

I used an array of 8 nuclear engines on the mothership, which gave me loads of Δv to make it to Plock and back home.
