Hold my ion engines
142 placed into orbit using the hobbs heavy launch vehicle, wouldve done more but my ipad was starting to suffer

edit: they all spread outminto orbit eventually

 

[Sportgus]

Damn you and your ion engines!

 

[ILovespace3]

Literally Idkgeeks was about to get top record, then mariohobbs comes in with so many ion engines that you could fill the Empire State Building, and get's 142 into orbit. What a plot twist! I'll give 3 more days before the shout-out to see if anyone can do better. My guess is not, however.

Wait so bp editing is allowed?

Literally you said a similar question, and I said it's allowed.

Wait so bp editing is allowed?

For being on Team Hawk, you oddly need multiple reminders. If you're confused, just read the rules.

 

[Sportgus]

Ok my rank doesn't matter and nowhere in your first post or others did you answer. If I'm just blind show me where you say you can.
Also since it's allowed I'll be making a full build grid of sats ok.

 

[Idkgeek]

Speaking of me, efficient flight is necessary as you can see! 57 is my max. 60 is probably possible but would need a perfectly built rocket and flight profile! mariohobbs good job but ions are OP.

Damn you're really good at this, made it look easy, or maybe I'm just a noob.
It's just a challenge but I would recommend for the future to disallow bp editing or allow it within reason, or else people will do what I'm about to.

Allow but no Engine stretching or ions. I am just a pro who has played sfs for years (since 1.4) and hundreds of hours of gameplay, more than 150 on just my old phone!

I joined one the last few days of 1.4 before 1.5
Truly the golden age of sfs.

Ew, stretched ions. Sorry, but they are so cheaty that i wouldnt count them as anything but a cheat drive

Here's my slightly bp edited submission
267 says in wonky LEO
(If you're squeamish cover your eyes)

First puff

Second puff

Third puff

Fourth puff

And orbit

Now the glorious separation

Don't take this seriously

 

[Sportgus]

Just half a grid, I didn't want to deal with to much lag

 

[Idkgeek]

Tweaked the design of the satellites and got 173

It actually looks kinda nice imo Xd

 

[ILovespace3]

Yeah, but I'm not taking style points for the ruling of the shout-out, just the amount of satellites put into or it. Speaking of it, there is only 2 days left until the deadline! Better hurry!

 

[Sportgus]

You can do it Idkgeek, get the entire build grid to orbit

 

[Idkgeek]

Thanks I would but filling the grid would pass the mass limit but if you don't mind that I'll try

 

[Idkgeek]

Edit: SFS keeps crashing so it is not going to be a full grid, my phone only so powerful as a 1½ year old midrange android. But I will try and get some more done using the the separator cheat in a few days.

 

[Sportgus]

Funny thing negative mass from fuel tanks makes mass decrease right? (I'll test) I think you know where I'm going with this.

Today is the last day to turn in submissions before I do a shout-out. Hurry before it's to late

What time zone?

 

[ILovespace3]

Eastern Standard Time

 

[Idkgeek]

Not gonna get another entry in. I just don't have the time

 

[Sportgus]

So who takes the cake?
