Parts can only have one connection going back towards the root part so only one decoupler. It's apparently a unity issue and how the craft are stored as a 'tree' of parts. Add to that that parts on a vessel don't collide with each other and you've got issues trying to use physics to help. All the more reason to have struts.

Also, looking at how much science I got on this one mission, I suggest that for the next round we use the treeloader plugin and a tree that needs more science points to finish.

AND DONE! Took longer to get all those uploaded than I thought it would.

Gallery here!

tl;dr

Mission to land on Ike and Gilly. Landed on Ike at least. Lots of science brought home.

Save here. Inculdes the welded parts used to lower part count on the lifter. 1700 parts is a bit much.

Holy sh*t, 2000+ science in a single trip? WOW O_o

Techno, how does that beast not make your game lag?

I think there might be an incompatibility, because my computer is above the recommended specs, and things like that can bring me down to like 5 FPS and below. Then there are you tubers RECORDING those and running smoothly.

He provided the answer for that in his post:

Emphasis mine. Likely uses this mod.

Got the save, doing the turn now.

Don't expect anything impressive.

Don't expect anything impressive.

As in no glowing rocket?

 

[10ebbor10]

Well, maybe glowing kerbals.

Edit: 1700 parts is quite interesting.

Umm...the 1700 was the first version, was 1100 or so after welding some parts. And that is the mod I used for it.

As for lagging, who said it didn't? That assent into orbit took for-frelling-ever. I set throttle, hit space, sat back and started reading a book. Lowered throttle a little during to keep TWR from going too high, hit space when sound cut-out. Thankfully once into orbit it wasn't anywhere near as bad. Was actually playable at normal frame-rates.

LInk

Mission was complete failure.
Missed the moon, and other planets on our Grand tour.
Also, no pictures.

..........how did you manage that? Intercepting orbits should be easy

[mainiac]

My plan had been to do a launch into Low Orbit of fuel that could be used in a future mission.  But after seeing a craft put in Low Orbit that is like 10 times the size of what I can do, that feels... somewhat less than constructive.  What should I do with my turn?

[IronTomato]

If I were you, I'd try another moon landing in a different area.

[techno65535]

Do note that we don't have docking ports yet so a fuel run isn't really helpful at this time. And by the time we have that we'll have bigger tanks and engines that will make it MASSIVELY easier to do that the monstrosity I launched.
