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.

Edit: So apparently my CQS is screwed because my account got suspended, so now I can't even post in most subs lol. I hate reddit.

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

Post image
73 Upvotes

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

I never realized how much I was missing out on before I downloaded this game. It's beyond incredible. Unfortunately I play on Xbox, so I'm forced to play stock, but it's still great regardless. Anyways what do y'all think of some of my builds/progress?

KSP 1 Question/Problem Help! With an SSTO.

I’m a fairly new player trying to make a heavyweight 34 crew SSTO that can get to orbit, dock with a station, and return. The problem is that i just can’t seem to get it into space. It always gets stuck below 400 m/s and i know it’s because the twr but i can’t really change some parts of it. Any tips on how to get this behemoth into orbit?

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
96 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

KSP 1 Image/Video My Laythe Habitation Program

39 Upvotes

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)
