KSP: Surprise Cargo Drop SSTO to Eve!

[@ogrcnz2361]

I love SSTO's. I'm new to KSP and still figuring out how to fly properly but I've been watching your videos for a a few years and learning lots from them. Keep up the good work.

[@fishyfishumsiii6577]

Yep I'm pretty much in the same boat my guy

[@Vincent_A]

I've got a couple of thousand hours under my belt, but still working on how to do SSTO'S properly. Thanks Matt for an Eve version

[@zakiranderson722]

I'm a simplerockets 2 player but I too watch to learn also for inspiration.

[@stevk5181]

I always burn through too much fuel with my SSTO when getting into orbit and then only have enough to deorbit. Might finally be able to get to Minmus where I could refuel.

[@zakiranderson722]

@@stevk5181 I think that's all an SSTO has to do anyway so, Good Job, to go anywhere else with it just refuel the thing.👍

Matt, the engine sound bug is in the stock game, doesn't have anything to do with any mods whatsoever. Te fairing base is doing OK because the heatshield; although depleted still resists the heat to some extend, better have a depleted heatshield than none at all. A dragonfly style drone would be ideal to explore Eve.

[@generalstache2314]

I've been having that issue on stock, do you know how to fix it?

[@RadlerAndi]

would love to know a solution to the bug, if there is one, but so far i'm happy to hear it's not from a mod

[@sleepdeep305]

@@onyxzheng347 The easiest to land on in terms of delta v required. If you did not sufficiently prepare for the atmosphere, it is impossible to land on, which most beginners may underestimate.

Leaving is the issue. Entering is just using a big heatshield, a parachute and praying

[@JBIsDoingStuff]

@@notoriousgoblin83 "entering is just using..." Yeah, tell that to every SSTO that's landed on Eve. Why can't we have heat shield panels for once?

[@Immortalcheese]

the closest IRL analog to this mission I can think of is the Magellan satellite which flew to Venus and was launched from the Space Shuttle. I know the Shuttle isn't an SSTO but it's the closet thing to one we have at the moment.

If the Thunderbirds had a eighth vehicle, and it was an SSTO, I’d imagine it function in a similar way that yours did, dropping payloads from Thunderbird 2-like modular drop pods. Even took off/landed off of Tracy Island!

The best small cars are designed around their interiors, and I'm sure many of the best larger cars too. I'm sure it's a good way to design a spaceplane because it means you're not making it larger than you have to. Edit 4 months later: Why didn't I say how much I love the intro on this one? It's one of my favourites; it reminds me of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and all the best kids books of my childhood! XD

[@rbxless]

That's a very "NASA" approach, maybe except for the SSTO.

I got that sound issues you were talking about long before I downloaded any mods so waterfall may not be the thing causing problems for you.

[@chesterwang3070]

If you find the ship wobbling, you can lower the authority limiter of the control surfaces. That way, they not only have a smaller range of movement, they also move proportionally less.

[@Firecul]

Can we just stop to take a second and realise it's great having this sharp footage, I don't know why it's so clear but I like it.

I left this channel for 2 months because I stopped playing KSP and got a bit bored of it, but now I’m back. Your videos are cheerful as always. In the next KSP video you could pick up that piece of debris, but at the same time, it would have vaporised in Eve’s atmosphere

[@LimeJuice0308]

[@rickality6344]

@Plant nobody asked you either

[@theepicslayer7sss101]

i wonder how if you ever tried FAR... for those who do not know what FAR is, it enhances aerodynamics. some people does not explain it good enough or make it seem unplayable... basically the biggest fundamental change is that you got a bit more forces when going super sonic that can break ships, next you got dead air (the inside of a cargo bay is dead air, behind the ship as well.) and finally there is better supersonic behavior since there is a shock cone! so this said, 95% of ships made on stock will work mostly the same except if the wings are inside the body (dead air) or when turning really sharp and hiding a wing from the air flow. (dead air) reason i started to use FAR was due to the crappy cargo bay behavior not hiding the parts properly when using sections. but ship like those really intrigue me on how they would behave!

[@WilliamW2010]

[@VOTEDODY]

I love the video. I will admit from the thumbnail and title I was thinking it would be more like the scene in “the Incredibles” when Mr Incredible starts his first mission by shooting out of a plane with rockets and then helicopter blades deploy to carry him to the island… maybe an idea for a future video? Maybe on Laythe?
