Using Every Engine to Get to Laythe in Kerbal Space Program

12:44 There is a setting in the game called “extended burn indicator” that tells you exactly when to burn the engines to get the most precise burn. Not turned on by default for some reason and not as precise as guidance mods like mechjeb but very useful for transfer burns and long burns in stock ksp. And, if you’re fine with not playing full stock, there is a mod called “bettertimewarp” that allows you to time warp at whatever speed you want. Physics warp to 16x speed for low thrust burns with ion engines or nuclear engines can cut down the time needed for burns by a lot.

this somehow worked out better than I thought it would. Also looking at the whole thing, if you hadn't thrown away those awful xenon engines you might've been able to land back on kerbin

[@ReidCaptain]

Potentially. I think more aggressive gravity assists would have done it too, but I ran out of time to try again.

[@yami_the_witch]

Quite understandable, having time for some new Projects is better than extending an already 16 hour recording session any longer.

[@achyutjagadeesh8985]

Engine plates are the soltion to the problem of unequal heights! they have stadard sizes instead of conforming to the length of the engine. It also allows you attach more engines to the bottom of a fuel tank. Literally the best part in the game

if you're worried about SRBs hitting your craft, use sepratrons, its the entire purpose of the sepratron

[@hawkeyealvarado999]

2:52 in the video where you only used monopropellant to make a rocket you got your rocket to hover in place for about a second by activating your landing gear to launch you into the air, you should try making a hovercraft like vehicle using this method. :)

From the perspective of Laythe's inhabitants, you pulled up into orbit, launched four missiles at them, then left.

[@kman6004]

This gives me an idea, I wonder if you could land a Kerbal on ALL of the moons in the system with ONE rocket. I have no idea how easy/hard this would be. It might even require mining for fuel, who knows.

I had an idea a few years ago but nobody did it, but the idea was to make a rocket/plane with only *1* of every part. Only 1 of every antenna, fuel tank, engine, decoupler, command pod, etc. you cannot have, say, two struts. Only one of everything. Your planetary destination is your choice.

[@cameronbracken3228]

When making aircraft, it’s important to ensure your main source of lift is a fixed wing. The reason most of your laythe probes were nigh impossible to control was that your primary lifting surfaces were being used for control. I’d consider disabling the pitch, yaw, and roll for the winglets you used as main wings for those and see if they function better.

[@forg3214]

For the first landing, you could have rightclicked the vector and turned down the gimbal limit, it would have been able to land

If you hit the arrow in the top left while you are building, it brings up different ways to sort the parts - one of them let's you sort by diameter, so that would help you find the right size fuel tanks for those engines you couldn't see them for
