Mission to the Surface of Eve & Back! | KSP 2 Gameplay

[@MattLowne]

Congrats, I considered doing an Eve return mission but I don't think my sanity could handle it with the game in it's current state 😂

[@TDChannelKSP]

Understandable, luckily my sanity broke long ago with KSP1 so I kept going at this one!

[@CoolCoderDanVR-Sub]

How only 1 reply?

[@O_Obsidious]

The best part is that they made the intense remix of the Eve music play on an ascent, while the music is calm and slow on a descent

[@Stratzenblitz75]

Doing an Eve Mission in the current state of the game is super impressive. Congrats!

[@TDChannelKSP]

Thank you! Yeah, fighting both physics and bugs is tricky, it's rather unfortunate. I'm sure in time we'll see some pretty epic missions from people, certainly looking forward to what you come up with :)

[@sebastiendetilly5264]

@@TDChannelKSP so... in total honnesty ... how much time did it take for the whole mission ?

[@TDChannelKSP]

@@sebastiendetilly5264 I managed to get this produced very quickly: - I started prototyping the ascent vehicle design on the 25th, and began filming. - 26th: I completed filming the mission - 27th: Filmed a few extra segments and began the initial edit 28th: Finished the edit, prepped for release the next morning. So, while the bugs were annoying it didn't take super long to do - the mission is relatively simple, requiring no docking and relatively small rockets.

[@sebastiendetilly5264]

thanks man!!! Awesome work!!! keep it up!!! Till next time!

[@mileslane8630]

the fact you were able to do this when the games so broken is truly impressive, nice work

[@renovategamer]

probably took him 4 hours to edit out the issues the game has. lol.

I love the fact that you need to include FPS in the vehicle stats

I love the fact that I get higher FPS during launch in KSP 1 with Real Solar System, Realism Overhaul and some graphic mods. 🤣

The VAB teleporting to space feels extremely Kerbal to me

[@vadenummela9353]

Its a very 2012 Kerbal Space Program 1 kinda feeling.

[@pills8303]

I really wonder why tf the game does that, like what bit of code is making it think to transport a land mass to the location of the player

[@JK-pe6ft]

Thanks for suffering through that so that others can experience Eve without the frustration.

[@alexander_d1277]

That "dancing eve-lander" sequence + soundtrack you chose, is hilarious. Thank you! :)

[@WikedBiPola]

can't wait for the game to be much more complete so I can buy it and have fun

Nooo! I’ll be at work still 😢

[@KerbalJoe]

Mate you are a true chad KSP player for uploading this madness, great work!

[@LeonMustapha]

Great choice of music for the surface of Eve, it really fit the moment.

[@GronGrinder]

The music... I can't with the music. It is just perfect in every single way. It gives me hope for KSP2.

[@hallucinogender]

KSP2 has very few minor bugs. It mostly has major bugs.

[@nukewurld]

Amazing channel. Between this and Matt lowne idk how many hours I've spent now watching KSP shenanigans

[@Williamtolduso]

One of the game of all times

[@cones914]

I love the launch music, it really sounds like you are going on a daring mission.

[@justageekygamer]

YES A KSP 2 VIDEO I mean, it still has almost as many bugs as matt lowne's missions are having but I ignore that

[@marianogamer6261]

same

[@manicpanda8741]

Hey buddy, nice video there. And thank you for the patience to run a full eve mission despite all the issues KSP2 has ytd. I certainly don't have it but this way I can still enjoy it

[@el_p3nguin078]

The OST is so good. As a musician, this was worth purchase alone. You GOT to blast the duna OST when you do a duna/mars mission!

[@TDChannelKSP]

Absolutely! That's the track I used in this video for returning home from Gilly.

[@127Kronos]

This has that characteristic old kerbal feel to it! It's like Im back in 2013 again EDIT: I had to check the version I remembered first playing :P

[@KeenanParry]

I'm genuinely impressed you were able to build a rocket that large without it glitching out then falling apart on the launch pad.

[@acanadianderg4035]

Something about your kerbal literally scratching her ### while her lander falls apart behind her will always be funny to me.

[@electronamstudios]

I love how frame rate is a stat for the ships 😂

[@vikingvalo]

7:27 this shot is beautiful good job on the cinematography👍

[@Leonsoos]

9:24 Here we see the new city of saudi arabia, NEOM :D

[@minethebuilder3121]

I love how you include the FPS as the specs for the launch 😂

[@divegabe]

Geez u have some godly patience there, mad props for pushing thru. Only started playing now that I know there's unlikely to be more updates, and its already broke my Duna mission because my lander wont redock with the mothership to refuel even tho its on a perfect line and speed

[@cagricibuk]

nice gameplay, fun to watch!

[@vwr0527]

Congrats! You may indeed be the first one to post a video of an Eve landing and return in KSP2. Even if you aren't, this is a classic KSP video in the style of the old greats.

[@James_Moton]

My best guess is that the parachutes might have been automatically disabled as "Unsafe" because a value (most likely atmospheric drag) derived from velocity *× pressure* exceeds a threshold value very early in the descent, meaning the maximum rated velocity only applies as stated when the craft is very high up (where the pressure is very low) and decreases as the craft descends.

[@awilliams1701]

I love the game, but I had enough until the next patch (hopefully lol) Nice camera work by the way. Really nice video

[@wilddoktor]

Those camera angles!! How'd you do that? Are those available in the default game? Is there a "replay" feature in the default game? Thanks for suffering thru this for us! :D

[@TDChannelKSP]

Yup, it's part of the default game! Right click + MMB can move the camera, TAB can switch to mouselook, and arrow keys can pan the camera. Still, I miss KSP1 camera control features like aiming camera at parts, and of course the CameraTools mod... You're welcome haha.

[@Pribumi1]

Damn those kerbal animations would make my empath ass difficult to make kerbals stranded anymore

[@noobusKSP]

It was super impressive doing a EVE mission at the time. And also it was kind of funny seeing kind of bugs are present right now in the game. 😂

[@alisonhunter4655]

Shout out to Matt Lowne (my hero! ❤) for giving you a shout out TD! Amazing work you did!

[@Gaelic-Spirit]

Just placed a small satellite in Kerbin orbit in my third launch ever. I've never played KSP 1 and I'm glad I chose to play KSP 2, the performance was great and I had 0 Kraken attacks or bugs, except some oddities in the VAB.

[@beenbomb82]

This is under rated

[@dek5775]

The kraken is back And it is stronger than ever

[@mewcoolgamer4599]

Challenge idea going interstellar without a warp drive

[@ccib00]

Great mission! But damn, Even with RTX 3080ti and relatively low part count (Compare to typically more than hundreds of part launch that you do) It is still this laggy. Yeah, the game is not ready. I have tried on my own with RX 6700XT but performance with more than 100 parts and looking at the ground sucks. Maybe in 6 months, the game will be in a better state I hope.

[@NavidIsANoob]

This game has insane potential, that's clear as day. But yeah there's still a lot of work to it.

[@kdaviper]

it seems one thing killing performance is the game always has the KSC loaded into VRAM. imagine this is related to some of the bugs with it appearing out of nowhere

[@TDChannelKSP]

Thanks! Yeah, performance is really disappointing right now - I can't do the kind of grand missions I want to when it slows to such a crawl. Hopefully it'll get *much* better with time.

[@only1thatmakessense]

Respect any return mission to eve 👍

[@sheggy012]

This is hilarious. Nice Job

[@Bulltoad_Real]

Makes sense that TD was the first!

[@theendlessvoid7124]

Wait, _all_ of the music (other than at 1:54) is from the ksp 2 ost? Wow, what a step up. At least they got one thing right.

[@TDChannelKSP]

Correct! It's awesome.

[@evildr.porkchop8305]

Well done for persevering with this TD, i found the current build state deeply frustrating and not fun. I believe it CAN be good (really good) but it needs work.

good comedic timing on this one

[@hayasaka530]

Cant wait for rp2

[@proxima_fish]

I liked and subscribed and pogged

[@BD12]

I anticipate a lot of this stuff is going to be nerfed like it was in the first game, but that's a cracking good effort.

[@TDChannelKSP]

Definitely. Though perhaps the SWERV makes more sense behind a tech tree gate and seems overpowered in sandbox. Hopefully by the time they nerf things, they also fix performance so I can do it properly xD

[@iNinBreak]

even with all the bugs and performance issues and even after pirating the game with my 1060 i can safely say that on low with the release version i had 20 fps on launch pad 12 during launch and making the orbit and between 20-40 in orbit (it was a craft that could go 1 way to the mun) im still gonna buy it as soon as im able to (if the start of ksp 1 is anything to go off this is gonna be 1 hell of an amazing game)

🎶 bravo

[@marcropke9836]

Looks awesome. Also, you might have saved just a LITTLE bit of Dv if you attached the fins to the boosters

[@masterofwriters4176]

KSP2 may be a mess, but the music is fing amazing!

[@SJ-ry6br]

It is too buggy that even I can't take the ship into my orbit!!!! Hope those bugs are fixed soon

[@Zaca1349]

What happens to Merbles chariot I? Also include the fps on launch statistic again! (Any larger of a launch and the the craft would just disintegrate on the pad.)

[@TDChannelKSP]

The first chariot variant was non-nuclear, but that had a 2 FPS launch from 18 engines, so I went with SWERV.

How did you manage to do the asparagus design since we can't see the amount of fuel in a tank ?

[@TDChannelKSP]

You can see the amount in a fuel tank via the part manager. However, it wasn't entirely effective - it seems like the outer tanks successfully transferred fuel into the main tanks, but not the inner tanks. The inner tanks behaved like there was no fuel line connection at all.

What is status for asparagus staging in KSP 2? You made it worked somehow or?

[@TDChannelKSP]

It seems like it... sort of worked? The first tanks drained their tanks the soonest, however the second tanks were also draining, just not as fast. I think the outer asparagus tanks fed into the main core, but not the other pair of boosters.
