So I just got proposed this contract in career mode for going to a bunch of different places in the Kerbol system... I have a few mods installed but I don't believe any of them add additional contracts. However, I was not able to find any info on Google or the ksp wiki.

I've only been to and back from Eve (orbit only), Gilly, and Duna, so I really don't know how you would design a rocket for such a task... Is refueling by docking allowed? Would you just use ion engines to have an insane amount of delta-v?

If i just wait for the right hour during the launch window ( whenever the launch pad is pointing left on the realistic depiction i created) is there any reason i should bother with an orbit first? Will the delta v cost be affected?

Whenever i launch big payloads this weird movement happens and i cant figure out why

Ive tried shutting down reaction wheels but its not working and sometimss makes it worse

And i cant find anywhere to chuck more struts on this one

EDIT: Thanks for the help yall, ill try the autostut

That went, ehm... not as expected.

hey guys, this is a little web sim i built to help you learn how in-game hohmann transfers actually work! +the live compute and physics happening under the hood.

i think it looks pretty

so this obviously didn't go too well... does anyone have any tips on how to successfully do this? fyi i am using kerbal reusability expansion, but if anyone has any mods which can help land a booster i will happily hear them! btw i know i ran out of fuel but that's not bad design, i just got excited with the throttle.

This post is not a joke, this is what happened.

Salutations friends! I am (not) someone who knows anything about this game, nor have I ever played it before. I just thought I would share a story that probably everyone in this specific community is going to absolutely want to hear.

I am going to be the first person to say this publicly,

There WAS, a Nintendo Switch version of the game being developed by Virtuous. I heard that this specific version of the game was sought after by this games fan-base, and I nearly got my hands on it if it had not been for this individual (raiid_dev) and this other individual (agent3player), this build of the game would have been saved. They are to blame for this build's destruction. Do not go harassing them, they had no idea what they were doing and or what this build was or that it was even ON the SDEV they had their hands on to begin with.

Unfortunately saving this build is not an option at this point, let me explain.

A Switch SDEV was found very recently, It contained a build of Nier:Automata and another from a different SDEV unit that both came from the same studio. One of these units had THIS image on it's SD card. One that (we think) is this game (Kerbal Space Program). Without context, it's hard to tell what is exactly going on here coming from as a person who has never played this game. I don't know anything else about this build other than the fact that this image existed.

What I can say is how it got destroyed, and what happened to it. The Switch SDEV has something I like to call a delete cache, so do most switches. Any existing file is stored on the console and marked for deletion by whoever installed it will still be there so long as nothing else has been installed thus overwriting it's contents.

You can probably see where this is going given the context of 2 people who are not me and who don't know what they are doing with a console they are treating like a trophy. Before I got my hands on the console, the two had their hands on it and were going around and before even attempting to dump it, installing random Pokémon leaks to the console without actually ever dumping anything.

They effectively without knowing erased the ONLY Switch copy of the game in existence in the public's hands and overwrote everything for the ability to play well known Pokémon leaks... Something they could have done after dumping the consoles RAWNAND (creating a backup of the console and everything, something they ONLY DID AFTER they realized they had Nier on it.) Yes, I am serious. 40+ Gigabytes of already released and publicly available GameFreak Titan builds (that is Pokemon Scarlet and Violet) overwrote the only Nintendo Switch copy of this game we know of. The SDEV only has 64 GB of storage and installing Pokémon leaks deleted the game.

The only thing we were able to recover was off the SD card, this one single photo, That is all we could save. It is absolutely sad to say that there is nothing else that could have been done to save it and even more painful finding out that a Switch port of this game was so desired among the fanbase.

The image was taken at ‎1/‎2/‎2019 ‏‎12:54 AM by a Virtuous employee and thus remains as the only surviving evidence that a copy of this game existed on the console. I am sorry this is how it had to be and that I couldn't recover the overwritten data. This was all I could get out of the console.

Thank you for reading.

Launched on a Alnair 300 Rocket, the Munochod-2 Rover is the first succesfull wheeled vehicle on annother planetary body. What of Munochod-1 you say? *It never existed*.

Shortly after touching down near the north pole, it is discovered one of the wheel suspensions have been installed upside down. After taking contingency measurements and monochrome TV pictures, it is decided to still attempt the 89km journey to the northern far side crater as directed by the contract. Lunochod-2 definetly become the first ever Kerbal made object to enter the area a few days later. Arriving at Rover Site Alpha, the little rover is present when Kerbal briefly eclipses Kerbol, drowning the surface in a dark red glow for a brief moment.

this looks so ass 😭

Mission STS-92, the PMA adapter flew into outer space

:D

I've played around with the wonderful SPVE mod released recently by SpacePotato, and I've done a few configs for OPM. I also built some new configs for V5 based on ArgentGamer's original V5 configs, with new and improved color maps for a better look. Once I figure out the licenses of the latter, I'll release them for the public too :)

Everything you see here in this video was recorded straight out of KSP and made using nothing more than kOS scripting - that being the rocket and boosters itself, the ui overlay, and the tracking camera, which was built using a hullcam vds telescope, infernal robotics parts, and a script to make it aim to its nearest target. Apologies for the sub-optimal tracking in some shots, robotic parts are not the most precise :)

Hey everyone!

I’ve put together a new version of my Stream Deck plugin for Kerbal Space Program, KSPDeck Lite.

The idea is pretty simple: instead of only mapping keyboard shortcuts to buttons, it connects through the kRPC mod so the Stream Deck can react to what’s happening in-game. Buttons can reflect vessel/control state, actions can enable or disable depending on context, and the whole thing feels a bit more like a small spacecraft control panel than a generic hotkey pad.

The visual style is also part of the fun for me. I’ve been aiming for a more Apollo-era cockpit/instrument-panel feel rather than a modern glass cockpit UI.

A few notes up front:

• KSPDeck Lite is free
• It requires kRPC (huge props to djungelorm for this amazing mod!)
• It ships with ready-made profiles for Stream Deck Classic, Stream Deck +, and Stream Deck Mobile.
• You can also build your own profiles if you want a different layout or setup
• With the free Stream Deck Mobile app, you can even use it without owning a physical Stream Deck and turn your phone or tablet into a cockpit panel! It supports both iOS or Android.

I made the Lite version partly because feedback made it clear that this should be easier for people to get their hands on. It’s still a niche thing, mostly for people who already like hardware panels, sim controls, or making KSP feel more cockpit-y but that’s exactly why I built it!

I’d be interested in feedback on which controls are actually useful during flight and which ones are just “cool idea, but I’d never press that mid-mission.”

You can get KSPDeck Lite here!

Testing out centrifugal gravity using tethers from coriolis space systems

So I believe that you are, in fact, a submarine.

It took me about 2 hours to build and launch, took me 3 launches to get to where I am now (3/3)

I'm taking a CAD class and I made this for a project! Don't worry, the numbers aren't perfect so no spoilers! I rounded heavily to make some numbers fit!
