It's been a bit more than 48 hours since the last turn, so I might jump in if noone objects in the next 6 or so hours.

I don't mind. I won't have time to do a proper R&D update and such until tomorrow but you can certainly do a turn trying one of the objectives already up or even redo something already done, or whatever else you like.

Been a while since I played.  But I updated my graphics card, so I ought to be better playing!  Unfortunately my flying abilities are primarily restricted to MecJeb use or hashing out vague flying in circles (but that's the point of Orbit, isn't it?).  Time to piddle about with the new changes and try to get accustomed to how this works, and then throw things into space For The Glory Of Bay 12.

Mechjeb hasn't been introduced yet but I'll add you in.

Yeah, been fiddling around.  I'm kinda shitty without mechjeb, and the Protractor is vital for practically any inter-planetary mission, simply because that's one thing that you really just can't 'eyeball it' and get close enough.

On the other hand, I've been experimenting on designs and fuel efficiency, and will be attempting to build a battleship.

Building a battleship with 1 meter parts will be interesting.

I've found that using the maneuver nodes you can eyeball interplanetary transfers fairly well. I've gone to the mun, minmus, and even duna that way.

We'll be getting mechjeb soonish though.

It'll be mainly 1m parts, actually.  I have 2 ideas, debated making them as challenges.

There's an alien base located on whatever planet.  You need to destroy it!
1: Construct a single vehicle that can be launched from KSP and fly on a collision course - essentially an interplanetary warhead.
2: Construct a ship with multiple warheads, which can be fired at separate targets, potentially on different planets.

Not related to this thread's ongoing campaign, but challenging at least.  Potentially alter it, and make it a mission to drop multiple probes on different planets?

Ninja turn completed, will be up in a second.

EDIT: Save, Story.
(I'm not sure whether I actually did the Helios milestones. It can do all of those orbits and have enough fuel to return, but it didn't. Does that count? )

So should I use this save or the turn 8 save (the most recent one in the OP)? Also, with respect to free-return trajectories, is it still free-return if I perform mid-course corrections en route to the Mun?

But what about me, Drakele and the others?

By multiple warheads, do you mean one rocket which splits into several warheads on a collision course or an orbiting station with detachable warheads?

[Drakale]

Yeah not sure if I was skipped or it's my turn, probably gonna be able to play tomorrow.

Being able to hit multiple targets that are widely separated, either on opposite sides of the planet, on different moons, or different planets entirely.  So, carry more than one rocket, one for each target.

anarky in the ku? 

[RulerOfNothing]

But what about me, Drakele and the others?

Well, Drakele has had more than 48 hours to put up a turn so I guess you get to go next.

[forsaken1111]

You guys are welcome to continue, yes. I haven't had much time for gaming lately but today we're snowed in so I'll do an update today.

[miauw62]

Alright, I'll do my turn after I do my homework.

[Skyrunner]

I envy all you snowed-in americans and whatnot D:

[miauw62]

Alright, I'll do my turn after I do my homework.

And after the update, of course. I also envy the snowed-in-ness. That never happens in Belgium :c
