I had a bit of a cinematic moment coming down to duna when I realized that my solar panels could NOT retract. The intense music playing while my kerbal hoping and praying they don’t rip off was crazy lol
Thank you for the intercept nav ball. Had no idea. Also learning i need to learn the RCS keybinds for those small maneuvers that are so helpful. Cheers
... another good video from your series.. I recreated your ship and replayed the mission.. I used up all my fuel on the approach to Duna and couldn't fill it up again.. But I still made it back to Kerbin with the lander and... managed to get in... ty
Just to help you a bit Clowderman. If you wanted to make an maneuver node inside of Kerbin influence when you where doing an transfer you could just add one while focused on Kerbin in its influence trajectory path ;) No need to fight with overlapping orbits this way :) (or time to warp. it works also)
Great video. I love your techniques and little tips and tricks. Also love your gamestyle, you are very methodical and by the book. Changes a lot from me who wings stuff all the time!
Wouldn't it be better to have the monopropellant in the last engine stage rather than the pod? Then you will carry less weight when reentering Kerbin. Alternatively make sure you've used it all. Doesn't make much of a difference when splashing down in the ocean, but if you're unlucky, those 0.72 tons can be fatal.
Technically yes but the Medium tank is way too big and I haven't unlocked radial monoprop tanks yet. Otherwise I would just use a few radial ones on the service module.
@@clowderman88 I understand, that would fit better with your format. I’ve been to Jool a few times and it’s hard to enter the system without entering one of the moons’ SOIs. I’m just not good at using that to my advantage!
@@clowderman88 your tutorial videos are really good. I’ve been playing KSP1 for a few years, but I’ve learned something from every video I’ve watched of yours. I think your views will increase significantly.
Great episode, thank you! I have an issue i keep running into. For some reasons im always having issues with my parachutes, more often than not 2 out 4 will only deploy sometimes even just 1 out of 4 and i have no idea what is causing this. I had it on the duna landing (1 out of 4) as well as on the way back to Kerben (both sets just 1 out of 4). Does anyone else have this issue / know how to resolve this?
I had that a lot as well. Im not sure exactly what caused it though. Have you moved the parachutes after placing them on the rocket? I would normally move the chutes in so they're only just sticking out from the side of the ship but when I just left them as they are after placement that seemed to fix it. Either the chutes are blocked or it's a bug in the game :/
@clowderman88 i stopped doing the clipping of the chutes. Even if it were the case, its weird that some open cause clipping would affect all of them i would assume. Im currently wondering if its a bug or heat damage maybe

These are the best KSP videos, thanks for explaining so much so clearly! Loved this series!
Really enjoying this series, and learning a ton from you. Thanks.
Really nice return voyage. Great tips.

Be sure to maneuver your body out of the sphere of influence of your to cats while they are orbiting each other so you don't have a RUD.

wow the cats in the back hahahaha 19:55
For the Jool mission, I really hope you show how to use one of the moons for a gravity assist capture.
Unfortunately I probably won't do a gravity assist capture for the first one but I might do one for the mission after that.

@@notreallyme425 I'll definitely see what I can do :)

@@CaptainFury I think it's a bug. It's bloody annoying ain't it!
