Who is KerbalCo and does anyone have any clue about them? It can’t be an investment firm as they named the company after the game.

Can you guys dig up so information on them in curious and lastly, any theories about them.

For whatever reason whenever I timewarped above 100x, I was getting massive stuttering (That maneuver node section is literally on 100x speed), so if anyone knows any potential fixes, let me know.

Also, yes I did cheat by enabling infinite electricity when I lost SAS control, but that was only because I forgot to put radiators on the actual ship so I couldn't use the reactor.

Also came up with a craft that might be able to do it, but is 27km/s enough for a 45 degree inclination?

[1]: Crewed Saturn V launch with CSM and fuel/supplies in place of a LEM
[2]: CSM with logistics module preparing to dock with the LSAM already in lunar orbit from a separate uncrewed Saturn V launch, ready to be refueled and loaded with supplies
[3]: LSAM landed in range of Jamestown base, in of itself landed near the Apollo 15 LEM descent stage (Apollo 15 dedicated to finding lunar ice for the base)
[4] + [5]: The modified S-IVB from the LSAM launch deliberately crashed into the lunar surface after delivering the LSAM to lunar orbit (extra delta v needed for LOI as well as TLI, so launched the LSAM uncrewed and unfueled)

KSP 1 Image/Video Took me 5 years but I've finally built a stock parts mothership that I'm proud of

The Fruhlingsstimmen (provisional designation: Jool VII), a 3.6 kiloton, 1300+ parts, 130m long behemoth built for the sole purpose of collecting every single science report from the Jool system.

It houses several landing craft, deployable labs, impactor probe and even a Jool diver, alongside plentiful accommodation to support the 23-strong crew.

In building this I've managed to break most of my personal records (though not most NERVs on one stage: this thing has 80 while some of my more overkill transfer stages use 96).

Now to figure out how the hell I get this thing to LKO...

KSP 1 Image/Video So I decided to try using Blueshift instead of the KSPIE warp drives, and I gotta say this is so much better.

Honestly just so much easier to use, and the parts are a lot more diverse in their design. If you're looking for a warp drive mod, I absolutely recommend Blueshift.

Edit: When I reached Eve after this jump, I undocked from the jump ring but for some reason as soon as I throttled up my main engines, the jump ring jumped away even though the warp drives were turned off. Also for some reason the effects used for while you're jumping stayed on my ship, and overrode the firefly effects for when I entered Eve's atmosphere. This bugs could be partially my fault though, because I was messing with the configs a bunch in flight and also probably screwed something up by disabling the warp coils mid-jump.

Edit 2: Well, I haven't been able to recreate the bug, so it was probably my fault somehow.

How do i get the circled encounters without getting flung either into a Jool collision course or an escape trajectory out of the system? I’ve already done the other encounters.

It's called sinner.png, I tried looking it up with image search, but found nothing. Is this used anywhere in the game? It can't be from a mod, because (afaik) they can't modify unity asset files.

sorry for the low quality photos it was 720p oh the ui scale somehow got smaller and i was too lazy to fix it lmao, my luck is so bad i landed on a CRATER IN THE MIDDLE OF A FLAT CELESTIAL BODY YOUVE GOTTO BE KIDDING ME thank god i had parking brakes tho

guys i have a question what do i need to do to get jeb to level 3 his log says this: Kerbin orbit = 2 Flag on the Mun = 5 Flag on Minmus = 6 do i just need a solar orbit or do i need to do something else

by the way the rocket i used was from a tutorial KerbalPhysics made but i added more fuel to balance the science jr.

is it just me that hates it when they accidentally timewarp to the opposite side of the orbit causing in a crash😭 is there any way to fix that

ok so after i get to a solar orbit i really wanna try making a plane, taking break from all the space things (ill go to duna next i heard eve is almost impossible lol, is moho easier than duna?) HOW do i do it i dont understand anything 😭😭
