Well it isn't like Jab is going to put on a suit and tie.

[@americanhat3766]

You should make a massive aircraft for hauling these heavier crafts into orbit, like the Rockwell X-30 or Star Raker SSTO's. This may also require you to make a double wide runway, but it'd definately be worth it when it comes to cargo capacity.

[@smooneychad]

Got something similar on the way though it’s an original design, nearly 500 tons to LKO!

[@americanhat3766]

Nearly 500Tons good lord! I'm certain that you wouldn't use unshielded nuclear power to lift said 500 tons into orbit... right?

Eeloo is weird it was designed to look like Enceladus but made as analog of Pluto. also it was made before new horizons gave us details of what Pluto actually looks like.

[@smooneychad]

Wow i never quite realized that, crazy to even think of a time before we knew what Pluto looks like now

[@eekee6034]

It is crazy to think how long KSP has been around, and the discoveries made during its time. :) News of Enceladus's water jets must have been fairly recent when it was designed. It was meant to be a moon, there was going to be a second gas giant, but it was cancelled and Eeloo put in a Pluto-like orbit.

[@ThatCatByTheStreet-ln2yc5we7d]

I think that whole crew is probably blind from seeing the black hole

[@TheTripleAce3]

I believe that Eeloo being a moon of Sarnus is based on some of Nova Silisko's notes for GP2 or GP3 where a second/third gas giant would have a large moon like Eeloo. The desert moon is also based on this.

[@smooneychad]

Ah okay I didn’t know that, I guess that’s why OPM feels like it belongs in the base game!

[@TheTripleAce3]

@@smooneychad apparently KZbin deleted my reply earlier, look up Gas Planet 2 on the ksp wiki and you can go down the rabbit hole there with Noca's original ksp plot that ksp 2 seemed interested in reviving.

[@alexb-mc4jo]

It feels like it's been such a short time since the start of the ksp plane only series. What a journey! Also, maybe the next time you go to a gas giant, you could bring like a small electric plane like the one you sent to Eve to hop around the different atmospheric biomes? Just a suggestion

[@smooneychad]

That’s smart! I might try to make a “small” nuclear probe to fly around like that and transmit the science back up. Many more gas giants to explore!

[@alexb-mc4jo]

​@@smooneychad also I forgot to mention only the opm gas giants have biomes in their atmospheres

[@benjee10KSP]

Pretty sure the suit glitch is a conflict between texture replacer and the stock suit switching system (they use textures that are upside down relative to each other so the texture gets mapped incorrectly). You should be able to turn off 'personalise suits' in the texture replacer menu in the space centre view and that should fix it.

[@smooneychad]

Thank you!! I’ve really been missing the neon suits since I start having this glitch

[@alexb-mc4jo]

When i sent a rover to teckto, i never knew how to get good sarnus encounters, so i went to sarnus while on a kerbol escape trajectory, and let's just say the atmosphere of tekto shredded the heatshield

[@smooneychad]

Youch that thing must have been going insanely fast!

[@omen3834]

mans is so good at KSP he doesn't even need to control the plane to land it

[@chris11d7]

For "clipped" parts that destroy your craft: I've found that sometimes if you detach the parts, then instantly non-phys warp, they will ignore physics and drift away from your craft. Also great video, very entertaining!

[@smooneychad]

Thanks for the tip! I believe I end up doing exactly this in the next video (which is almost complete!)

Absolutely! Away from home right now but there’s a big 3 part finale of sorts coming up soon. Thanks for watching and for the awesome comment :D

[@projectlessweforget]

The Wormhole seems like a perfect challenge to send a couple of satellites for this series. You should make a satellite that's designed to orbit around the Wormhole to collect science and monitor the Wormhole. The second is a probe satellite that's designed to go through the Wormhole to explore the solar system and its function is to send data without leaving the Solar System back to the Kerbin System.

[@alexb-mc4jo]

Sadly, comms are broken with kcalbeloh, and even having a relay around the wormhole on the stock systems side won't give you a connection to a craft on the kcalbeloh side of the wormhole

[@trainzderails2008]

Hmmm i think now I know what we all want: FLY INTO THAT BLACK HOLE FOR SCIENCE!

[@Meaty_Michael_0]

Nice mission! For your next one you should land a rover on sera and explore the unknown!

I used to play a lot of modded KSP about 10 years ago and have recently gotten back into it. Just found your channel as well as this series and was wondering if there's any reason you decided not to use Ferram Aerospace? Idk if it's as big now as it was back in my day but it was a must have for people who wanted to take planes seriously. It makes the aerodynamics in the game much more realistic

[@smooneychad]

I was trying to improve the overall fun of the game while keeping it as stock as possible or close to what KSP2 was supposed to have (the near future mods and kcalbeloh were to mimic that) I usually think of FAR as being more on the realism overhaul side of mods with RSS and stuff, rather than with the stock system and parts. I’m really looking forward to getting a good realism mod list going and doing a similar sorts of series with that though!

[@Gaming1Doge]

NEW SMOONEYCHAD VIDEO JUST DROPPED LETS GO

[@Gaming1Doge]

also, next time you get science from somewhere far-off, you should drop it off at stoney station, then you can put all collected science and turn it into data for the science lab aboard to use. If there's too many experiments you can store them on stoney station in one of those experiment storage units.

[@smooneychad]

My original plan was to do this but by the time I got back to kerbin I was too eager and just went through with the landing and recovery, I have a really cool plan for doing this in the next mission though!

[@Gaming1Doge]

@@smooneychad makes sense, bet the kerbals agreed! Also, you should check out extraplanetary launchpads if you haven't already. it's great for interstellar colonies and such.

I think you should get deferred rendering. Or maybe not because for me it is not compatible with raster prop monitors. Deferred makes the lighting look better and saves on performance.
