It’s a crappy lunar starship but I think it’s cool I made the massive deployable vehicle in cargo bay as a joke but it actually turned out pretty cool. Still plenty to be fixed (not shown is the rear door, ladders, deployable docking port at the base, 12 deployable experiment cargo storage slots on the ship and ….18…. On the vehicle) i made this because I want to recreate the Artemis missions and lunar gateway and it was the last piece needed to be built before i can start construction.

KSP 1 Suggestion/Discussion Is it just me or is Landing HARD in KSP???

37 Upvotes

I have a huge percentage of crashlanding in KSP? Such as terrible rate of accidents. Whenever a landing goes 10 out of 10 sweet and perfect it's a huge thrill. And unfortunately that might only be at the rate of 1 to 2 out of 10 landings.

Perhaps in 5 to 8 out of these 10 flights I'm flying something with a very suboptimal landing gear configuration. But even when I fly with aircraft with a good and correctly sized landing gear, the accident rate is pretty high.

Am I a terrible flightsim pilot? Are real airplanes easier to land than KSP airplanes? How do you guys do with landings?

KSP 1 Question/Problem Would it be possible to get into low Duna Orbit with only 1282m/s of dV? Asking for a friend

31 Upvotes

My friend, Bob, got himself into a predicament where he's on the surface of Duna but only has around 1300ms of delta V. The Delta V maps show that I need 200ms more to get into a low orbit so Jeb can rescue him. Any ideas on how to stretch that number?

KSP 1 Suggestion/Discussion So I was looking for an RSS parallax continued config...

3 Upvotes

Gameslinx's github repo has a list of supported planet packs, the RSS config of which links to a google document labelled "Sol Beta", maintained by ballisticfox. The document has a "what is Sol" section that says it's a spiritual successor to KSRSS and RSS reborn, and support for the latest visual mods. I assumed I would have heard about something like this, so I went searching for any proper documentation besides a google doc. Turns out, Sol was a similar project maintained by G'th around the summer of 2022, until *some kind of drama* led to its very sudden death. Every time I tried searching for "Sol" or "Sol Beta" in hopes of finding an updated RSS pack, I got sent to the forums for the original Sol. There seems to be no documentation besides the google doc on Sol Beta, I can't even find anything on ballisticfox's patreon or forum accounts.

Anyone know what's going on with Sol Beta?

KSP 1 Question/Problem Well. I might have just cooked my KSP install.

Game crashes on load screen after updating some of my mods. Undoing the updates didn't help.

I updated some of the mods I had today, such as Shabby, Kerbal community fixes, Kerbal constructs and universal storage 2. This was after updating CKAN.

Now the game crashes on load screen and I can seem to undo whatever just made the game crash on loading.

Any advice on how to fixed this?

this took so long to assemble. the 2 launch vehicles used are at the end, along with what the crew lander looks like. I really like it tho. most modules are modified from my space station, bar the 2 large, tall ones, which are vaguely modded from my single use mun bases

I just downloaded Benji 10‘s historical suits mod however when I go into selecting my crew, I’m trying to locate the wardrobe hanger icon, but can’t seem to find it. I know I’m in the current version of KSP so where is it? And PS. yes I have checked the astronaut training I still haven’t found the wardrobe change option there either.

KSP 1 Question/Problem It's telling me to add the decouple action for the upper decoupler, shut down the engine, and add the decouple action for the radial decouplers. I did all that, but it still won't let me pass?
