My entry

Mars Pathfinder · Dec 2, 2020

Definitely not as nice as my other builds but here's my completely re-usable rocket.
It's an SSTO to be easier and can only deploy very small payloads into LEO.

Good

For base game builds you can't use DLC engines. Sorry dude.

Soyuzturtle · Dec 2, 2020

None of my entries can use them? I thought it was only the entry strictly for base game.

Soyuzturtle said:

Yeah, just the base game specific requirement. If you're making a base game compliment build, then the entire thing needs to be base game compliment

Okay later today I'll rework it again to use a hawk probably.

It is for the player who haven‘t bought the DLC

Okay I'm likely going to change my path again here. I'm probably going to get the expansion soon so I'll keep my reusable rocket the same for that. I know for DLC I will have to do 600 tonnes but I'm ready for that and I want to actually do a 1 kiloton rocket which means it will get me into team hawk ( hopefully ) and the kiloton club.

Well, If you fit in in the buildscreen... Apparently that's basically impossible without clipping.

i think yeah

Not sure if an SSTO qualifies for the Shuttle challenge... TtTOtW?

Marmilo · Dec 4, 2020

Blazer said:

That doesn't look like a shuttle at all.

TtTOtW · Dec 4, 2020

Lol. No a shuttle by definition has a booster to reduce the workload of the shuttle to near nothing on the way up and leaves it free to spend its remaining resources in space or on the way down. In short, it needs a booster.

Soyuzturtle · Dec 4, 2020

Blazer said:

With all due respect , you've got the wrong entry there. My shuttle entry is right at the beginning of this thread. What you have there is my 200 tonne launch vehicle.

TtTOtW · Dec 4, 2020

Soyuzturtle said:

Only for the record, show the Shuttle and booster. together.

Look in the first post, it's in the spoiler.

TtTOtW · Dec 4, 2020

Ah. Ok thanks.

Ah. Ok thanks.

Soyuzturtle · Dec 4, 2020

On the DLC version of the challenge can we use launch pad assembly or does it have to be in just one build space of area?

Pink · Dec 4, 2020

The 600t heavy lifter challenge?
1. It has to fit within ONE build grid.
2. No part clipping.
3. No bp editing.

Okay thanks.

Soyuzturtle · Dec 5, 2020

I just did my first Europa return mission with my newly got DLC without remembering about this challenge. Then just as I was landing I remembered so I have screenshots of landing and I can take some of the rocket on the launch pad but I didn't take any during most of the mission.
If you need screenshots throughout the mission , I'll re-do it while taking pictures.

It uses the upper stage of my korolev rocket since it's proved itself very useful multiple times.
It was my first Europa return mission so sorry for the amount of times I entered and left SOIs and atmospheres. There's also some pics in there of leftover space junk which had probe cores.
