The Moon Tour

[Mariobgvoynov]

I'm actually in the Moon landing sequence and the rocket I use was just about to hit my lunar station. I think there was like 5-10 Meters of distance at one moment... View attachment 41780

i know the feeling, I am working on my moon orbital station right now and my first station part is in orbit on the same hight, but in oposite direction, i don't wonna delete it, it was my first machine to orbit the moon and to get on prefect orbit, but it SUPER scary and dangerous to don't crash it, once it even hitted my cargo door while docking it to the station(i had quicksafe)

Just as an outlandish suggestion, why not move one of the stations to a slightly different orbit? So, you know, they're not in each others way?
Or doesn't common sense translate into orbital mechanics?

What will be fun then?

What will be fun then?

Fun. You use that word. After a 4 line post complaining about the possibility of an orbital collision, I don't think that word means what you think it means.

I mean what will be epic then? +Even if I want I can't, both stations are nearby out of fuel

Epic. You use that word, but after several lines complaining about the event, I again question if you understand the meaning of said word.

Also, re-fueling has been a thing for...3 years now. Give or take.

It's with many tears that I announce you a bad news.... I hit the moon surface with to much speed so my rocket explosed and my secundary Rover was destroyed... After few meters, my ion engines pushed me with to much speed and I hit the ground with more than 10m.s-1.... The Lag Monster is dead on the Moon surface...

try flipping the rover on it's wheels, new mission will take too long

He made it next to 1 year ago. Your reply make no sense

Do you realize you are replying to a 1 year old post, that the guy already succeeded, and that you are necroposting, right?

Now BOT.

Welcome here to participate in the Moon Tour !!

What's the "Moon Tour" ?
Well the "Moon Tour" is a World Tour but on the Moon. You have to drive a Rover all around the Moon.
Rules :

- You have to drive, not to fly or orbit around the Moon, so you must have functionnal wheels.
-You can use reactors to increase your speed (like that : (Work on Progress fast rover))
View attachment 41740

- No cheat when you are driving your Rover.
-Cheats are ok only for 0g assembly
-Land something that show your departure and your finish like
-Of course DLC use is ok
-BP editing is ok (I'll try to do without personnaly)

Personnally, I'm still testing few Rovers for this Moon Tour (you saw one in this thread presentation). When I'll finish my challenge I'll show you some screenshots when I've finish it !!

Have fun and feel free to ask me some questions !!

can i refuel by sending some fuel tanks

As long as you don't break any of the given rules or use exploits, no one can say it's wrong.

Does it count if i put a thing in orbit and dock a long rod to it, so the other end, with the wheel, touches the surface, like a ski speeder in star wars ep.8?

no i dont think so

 

[Pink]

I don't think that would work in SFS, because of the torque from the probe or capsule. You'd press the arrow button to move, and the wheel would spin but the probe would make the whole thing fall over.
However, if you can make one that works, why not?

Be aware it has to spend as much time in contact with the ground as a rover does, because as far as I know this is a driving challenge.....

 

[MECO]

I'll think I'll try this and take my rover for a spin.

After 19 minutes of driving, it really doesn’t look like I roved much.

Great, just keep goin on!

Yeah, even with the scaled down Moon is still a long drive.

Am I allowed to use multiple rovers, for example 3, on different places over the moon? I mean like if I have 3 rovers each one to make 1/3 of the distance around the moon.

What made you think that?
It's a lunar circumnavigation, one rover has to go all the way around.
Magellan's expedition didn't get new boats in South America and Aisa

Shame he didn't make it Alive

Can I complete this challenge by fixing the rover and spreading 4-5 refueling bases all over the moon?
