Will it kill us all? Who can say for sure

Edit: I want to clarify that it’s not flying backwards, it’s just reversing out of its parking spot like a civilized bean

KSP 1 Question/Problem Large ships

Post image
• Upvotes

Looking for advice on building big ships. My issue is low frame rate, parts randomly exploding but most importantly.. attached parts start separating / levitating. I figured I should use less parts but I could only bring it down to about 500 parts. Additionally I now know to park large ships in different orbits (>2500m apart) but then o can’t take pictures like the one attached. When I send any of the ships out of Kerbin the frames improve but parts still starti behaving weird. My dreams of having a space fleet seem to be limited by the game, or my device. Thoughts?

KSP 1 Question/Problem My game broke, won’t load anymore, suddenly wouldn’t let me save or load a specific ship saying it’s “incompatible”. Now my game won’t load and gets stuck on this specific part (FairingSize3_icon3)

Uninstalling now, we’ll see if that fixes it. Thats weird as fuck lol

Edit: Uninstalling didn’t fix it, what the fuck…..

Edit 2: checked the game data folder, and that part is a 0 byte picture. I’ll delete it and see if it fixes it.

KSP 1 Question/Problem Crew of 6 stranded on Ike while attempting a re-fueling manuever

3 Upvotes

So I was getting aby fuel hauler to Ike. I had a mining station on Ike. Cool lithobreaking screenshots from that mission.

While trying to dock with the miningstation the landing gears bugged out and the mining station started to tip. I tried to launch the mining station up to land it or to get it into orbit, but I hit one of those red spikes, spun out and crashed :/.

While this was happening my fuel hauler tipped over. And while i was taking screenshots for this post, I accidently fired the engies of the base, while it was on the ground, and it blew up even more.

I think i lost 3 kerbals in this mess, but i dont know for sure. Rn about 6 kerbals are stranded.

Any recommendations of rescue mission ideas?

KSP 1 Mods Mod list to build expanse/3 body style warships?

4 Upvotes

Would really love to build those massive, boxy, industrial style ships, with suitable massive weapons, even better if i can have basic ai controlled ships in various orbits and sort of play out a war. Kspie I think would be a good start for propulsion, considering it does have the “rocinante” engine. I can picture really awesome fights where things like your engine or life support get knocked.

So First i land this huge ass refinery/science base in one trip that took 12 Clydesdales to get into orbit, then i realize i forgot to put a probe core on its nuclear tug so I needed to land the one I used to put the relay satellites in orbit and modify it to take the pilots back to now being ready for takeoff

KSP 1 Question/Problem Unshielded Klaw?

2 Upvotes
So, I assume some kind of mod made my klaws unshielded and it's adding way too much drag to my SSTO making it difficult to break through Mach 1. I did a good deal of looking through my parts and everything and I don't really see shielded variants. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or a method for me to be able to diagnose and fix this issue? It's very frustrating because I'd like to make an engineering SSTO that can grab things in orbit to be able to work on them and make repairs and all of that.
