Inactive Voyager Quest Resubmission

[FPE Fan]

Payload fraction: 10%
Rocket weight: 110t
This took like 10 attempts with multiple designs, and I'm still shocked at how I did that.

Can you post the rocket link?

The payload fraction is actually 11.27%. No offence, but that makes no sense considering how bad your ascent was.
And only 2 stages, this feels cheated if I’m being honest

 

[FPE Fan]

The payload fraction is actually 11.27%.

Even better. And look at Astro Doing it. Why do you think it's between 100-300t? Because it's possible.

 

[QMSP]

Even better.

Ascent was bad, but at least successful.

There’s 3, mb

The rocket failed miserably when I flew it with your ascent profile

Unless I did it wrong, this means you cheated.

he did not state it but, i think its possible if you use gravity assists

 

[QMSP]

He most likely didn‘t due to what his trajectory looked like

Depends on the position of the Earth I think. I launched countless rocket from countless Earth positions, and some missions with ascents seem to be slower.

I launched when Earth was where it was in your screenshot

I don't know what might cause this. I didn't cheat. I think you launched from the wrong position and the screen rotated when it escaped the solar system.

Nope, I made sure that wasn’t the case

how did you know that, in no image do we see Earth or am I missing somthing
he may have been cheating, and you might be right, but I am not so sure
I am going back into hibernation

 

[QMSP]

You’re technically right, but in his final picture of his escape trajectory it shows where he escapes Earth‘s SOI, which is logically where Earth would be

I am going back into hibernation

Bye

If the judge assumes that I cheated, I will redo it in a way that looks less cheating for you. I swear I didn't...

 

[QMSP]

Anyways, I’m gonna be so annoyed if this one gets graded before mine…

 

[Marmilo]

Your payload is only 8 tons, no?

 

[FPE Fan]

Your payload is only 8 tons, no?

I think I accidentally removed a fuel tank while saving.

 

[QMSP]

Your payload is only 8 tons, no?

He clipped some fuel tanks, it’s actually 13 tons

 

[Marmilo]

Please don't do that guys. Clipping when unnecessary is bad, as it makes it harder to gauge submissions, also provides slight performance advantages in optimisation missions.

Since you've flown straight up at the right time, it's pretty easy to replicate your mission. Your screenshots of the flight (especially the one showing 137km altitude, 1329 m/s velocity, and 83% fuel) is not possible with the payload in the BP you provided, but it does exactly match if you flew with a payload that did not have any fuel clipping. This is awfully convenient, but it alone doesn't prove malice. However, what does give proof is the fact that even with the lighter payload, reaching solar escape still is not possible with your flight path, this was the final result I could get:

And look at Astro Doing it

If the judge assumes that I cheated, I will redo it in a way that looks less cheating for you

I appreciate the inspiration you've taken from me, but not the cheating. But if you have any explanation for this discrepancy, I'll gladly hear it.
