Glad to see Trinity 4 went well. I hope you can pull of something big to stop beardy pulling ahead. The US has always had a very impressive robotics programme, so maybe something along those lines?
@@N9GamingOfficialI don’t know how it would work with the tech situation but you could perhaps try something similar to the Apollo-Venus flyby mission idea but maybe go past mars instead. Could be a big move since mars is actually able to support future colonization.
As a discord member (lcmacdon) who was there when you streamed it there, seeing Scott antagonize Alan brought back some nice memories from a couple nights ago!
I actually really like the more gameplay style of this one. Your cinematics are always breathtaking and it's what makes this series so excellent, but just as you say, it is also nice to see what it's like. Great to hear that you managed to squash such a nasty bug; hopefully this'll mean great things for the future.
N9, when the time comes, maybe call your Moon outpost Erikson? I know its not very american, but its named after the first european to set foot on the americas, Leif Erikson, a danish explorer. He did put a settlement there, specifically Newfoundland, in modern day Canada. Colombus is overused, so this could be a nice alternative, I think.
0:24 that is one sexy aircraft! I see that you went with the SR-71B variant for your inspiration, other than that excellent work and it looks gorgeous!
@@N9GamingOfficial the B variant is the trainer variant and featured a second cockpit place behind and above the main cockpit, the SR-71A was the main production aircraft and had the RSO seated behind the pilot in a tandem arrangement.
@@adamdubin1276Gotcha! Yeah I knew I was basing it off of the trainer variant, makes sense that we have the trainer while the Military gets the main production variant!
@@N9GamingOfficial Weirdly enough, the SR-71 is actually a derivative of an earlier aircraft also capable of Mach 3, the A-12. The A-12 was only operated by the CIA however, so it would make sense they dont want to share their shiny new plane.
Useing the dinosaur docking bar on the station you can probably reuse the station as sort of a U.S almaz station by adding some new military modules to the station or something like that (love the videos btw)
It would be interesting to have a segment in the next vid devoted to an interview with the foundation director about the future of the foundation. Just a world building idea Edit: got 2 series mixed up again smh
2 ideas for K4 The logical: modify it into a testbed for new tech (both scientific, civilian, and military) The funny: destroy a Soviet spy sat with it by crashing into it
The K-4 could become a test article for docking future vehicles, if a new docking adapter system is done, just send over an adapter beforehand. Or you could test some dedicated deorbiting vehicle that isn't a one off, it could become useful later on when lore wise you have a higher risk of Kessler syndrome. Or it could become a secret refueling depot in the future :D
The following reactions were typed in real time, as I was watching the video: A Blackbird? heck yeah!! Also, those sonic booms over the gulf of mexico would disturb more than just the boats, google "humboldt squid" I imagine their aggression would be tripled. Awesome night launch. And what a relief that you managed to dock with the LEM while it was tumbling free. Hey, that landing could've been much worse, you could've crashed for crying out loud! ...wait a minute is that a shrek reference?! Wait... it wasn't shrek 2, it ended differently, where exactly was that audio from? Either way, LOL! Oh my gosh, you fixed that bug!?!?! You're planning to continue N9SA!?! Heck yes!!! all we need now is for you to start playing "re entry: an orbital simulator" again. you still need to land on the moon and come back.
17:12 I'm rewatching the last 15 episodes or so from the current ones to refresh my memory now that new episodes are coming out- and I never even noticed this rolling docking. that's pretty damn cool
There was a proposed variation of Skylab to use the S-4b as a station like irl, but keep the S-2 attached as a wet workshop, i think this would be a wonderful station for you to make, imagine the propaganda value in such an enormous station! Plus it could act as a fuel depot!
Amazing as always. And thanks for bringing that bug to my attention. I removed squad expansion from my RO install just to be certain that bug never pops up.
Maybe use the outpost as a test-bed for orbital repair and modular construction. Doesn't have to be crewed. but would be nice to demonstrate those two important technical feats on something already in orbit (maybe you could add a few useful "weather monitoring" components too if you catch my drift 😝, maybe even a telescope to keep tabs on interplanetary affairs, monitor changes in orbit and such.).
The KX-4 is seems quite light? Empty S-1 and a crew module, perhaps a Katurn V could launch to propel it out to lunar orbit? Would likely be a cheaper way to get the first Lunar station, not having to pay for the crew rated price multiplier on the Katurn, and would match the soviet multi-launch mission capabilities!
@@N9GamingOfficial ah well, thanks anyway, and one last thought, i feel the station should instead of being destroyed in the atmosphere, could be boosted up in its orbit, idk, like a 1000km x 1000km orbit, preserve it, it was the very first station after all.
@@N9GamingOfficialIf you agreed with Beardy and Carnasa, I think a little save file edit to complete the contract would be fine. You'd have forfilled the spirit of it.
Replace the KX-4 station with a Von Braun-esque wheel station, or the 12 man Apollo applications stations. Also will we ever see the Saturn C8 as a further development of the C5? Or perhaps sea dragon?
@@N9GamingOfficial My heart yearns for the C8, my boy doesn’t get anywhere near as much love, could serve as a heavy lunar payload carrier, maybe even for heavy mars missions?
Your volumetric clouds look so much better than mine do! :c I'm using the bananaman configs but they're always super popcorny and cotton ball-esque around the edges.
Glad to see LSB has finally panned out, the Soviets can't hide their weather from us now! Maybe you could use it to launch a microsat to further boost commercial capabilities.
Deorbiting the station is cool, but you could also boost it into van allen belts to study material degradation in such environments (and of course to keep pesky soviets away)
This is totally loopy but maybe you could send the KX-4 to the *moon*? And have it as a lunar orbital outpost? I don't know if you'd be able to send a big enough transfer stage to it though.
@@N9GamingOfficialflyby mars and land on Phobos or Deimos!!! Super low dv! And first interplanetary landing? Maybe set up some stuff for a mars landing or Phobos base.
Turn the K4 research outpost into a steering-from-orbit experiment... directly onto the Soviet launch facility. You can name the project "Oops. Sorry. It was an accident. k-thanxs-bye." These "accidents" tend to happen after a country steals intel illegally from satellites.
Was life support an issue with the rover? I find they can only handle about 2 hours in a suit before something starts going wrong. Did you have some extra O2 onboard that they could swap out of inventory maybe?
Since the jupiter (and jupiter-uranus) window is nearing the present in FAK, will you launch a probe there to frog leap beardy? Also i am pretty sure ceres has a window soon
I actually ran into that bug before while using an alternate system mod(beyond home). Linx knew the solution immediately. never used making history since. it doesnt add anything of note since restock adds the 1.875m tanks itself. Also will there be fusion engines at some point? Seems going beyond mars with crew would require them.
Odd how Making History does that! We're putting together a new install for 1.12.3, Beardy seems convinced the bug won't be happening anymore but at least I know exactly what to do if it does happen again anyway. And yeah we've got Nuclear engines in game that will be explored at some point ;)
@@N9GamingOfficial well rss is an alternate system so not that weird that it triggers it too. theres a mod called making less history that fixes it if you must keep making history. How far does the tech tree go exactly? does it have pulsed plasma thrusters, lightbulbs or D-He3 engines?
@@N9GamingOfficial I havent played with kerbalism but ive seen it being quite harsh about radiation. Can you even get to the outer planets without ISP in the 10000s? Also i have a suggestion: theres a mod that adds UFOs. put one on Pluto as an artifact. As rules you cant replicate it or change the superstructure. Getting it would be the phase 3 race, the first to get crew there gets a free return.
Could KX-4 not be the start point for a modular station? Instead of launching a crewed core module, it could be used as a habitat for the construction crew, who will help with assembly of the truss etc. All the Space Station Freedom concepts have some sort of big truss. Then dispose of KX-2 later. Alternatively, now it’s getting dated, maybe allow the Soviets to visit as a low risk gesture of goodwill? Personally though, I’m more interested in KX-5 etc. On a Katurn 5 booster, could one be placed in Lunar orbit?
16:13 that is such a weird bug, you should probably report it so it gets patched because I think there are a ton of rp1 saves that ended because of that issue, the only thing I can think of whats the cause of this bug is that the mod uses names that are the same as the one on making history causing the game to freak out altrough im not an expert on coding so don’t take it seriously

Once the ESA develops a manned program, you could lease them the KX-4 Station.
Oh, that!
I think the solarpanels will be useless at this point...
By the time Carnasa reaches that capability the solar panels will have decayed into uselessness.
Not a bad reason to maintain it!

An incredible video as usual! Glad to finally have that pesky bug fixed
f
I love the fact that you used Shrek audio for the "are we there yet" sequence.
It fit too well xD
Ah… yes the classic “Are we there yet” truly the words to remember
Add a separate power/expansion module to the KX-4 to extend longevity. Something a certain cancelled module of the irl skylab would've fulfilled.
I could see the KX-4 being used as a testbed for refueling, or even nuclear technology
The intro with the KR-71 Blackbird was absolutely beautiful.

You should start focusing on the moon base and start looking into a pioneer / voyager flyby aircraft
17:10 that BBQ docking was EPIC!
seems like you had your own Apollo 13, atleast you got to land on the moon haha.
you should use the K-4 outpost as a experimental target and shoot a missile at it, blow it up.
