4 months ago, on April 1, Artemis II mission was launched, which brought online player count to historical record high of 23000 concurrent players. However since the peak, player count has been on a steady decline, reaching 4800 players today, which is close to ~4000 players baseline before the launch. What do you guys think of this trend?

not mine... but credit to whoever made this

It's like throwing a hotdog down a hallway.

In this short clip you can check our RTLS autonomous landing via kOS + custom live telemetry made with kRPC

The telemetry data really elevates footage to the next level providing in-depth information about speed, altitude, pitch, G-force, fuel and throttle levels

Bringing you the fullest report possible!

Several weeks ago, u/Cheap-Blackberry-763 challenged me to create a hanging mun arch base WITHOUT using the ground anchor part. It was a royal pain, and the project suffered many losses and setbacks, but FINALLY, I present to you all my hanging mun arch base (name undecided), with many many thanks to Nertea's various parts mods that literally would have made this impossible. Next up, gotta crew the thing. If you have any name suggestions lmk 👀

Visiting every Duna biome and anomaly in career mode was a choice... this whole ordeal took more than a month. I can't wait to unlock the whole tech tree and work on something else

This is my Moonskipper lander for Mun/Minmus missions, but it's especially OP for Minmus. TWR is a bit rough on the Mun. But this is my first lander that's not only functional but aesthetically pleasing too! Experiments include the Science Jr., Barometer, Thermometer, Mystery Goo, and Seismic Accelerometer.

This specific mission in the picture is called Mintskipper-1, our return to Minmus after a long time. The lander is pushed all the way to Minmus by the Apollo-style Rokstar-XL CSM, seen in the second picture.

I was playing RSS one day until i found this class G asteriod on a crash course for Earth

I created a quicksave when I found it so should I go and redirect it for -$600K

It was not easy. It took many hours. So many quickloads.

I used mechjeb auto pilot for most of the journey.

The Kerbals needed to have shift changes, as I run USI life support and they didn't want to camp out of the truck for months while I ran other missions to thwart the boredom.
I also needed to restock their supplies using a KAS hose.

Most areas the MechJeb Rover autopilot handled well, but for the steep accents I had to manually drive switchbacks. On the steepest hills, I'd switchback in reverse since turning around was unsafe.

I had incredible luck with my route, never having to significantly backtrack due to impassable terrain.

Using EVA construction I was able to repair minor damages with parts from the resupply plane, but I had many bad wrecks requiring a quickload. Though no Kerbals were ever injured during crashes.

Under the hood is 8 modded RTGs each outputting 2 ec/s.

Stock XB-70 Valkyrie with six Whiplash turbo-ramjets; it could be a lot better but I think it turned out OK

My Ksp addiction is in full swing right now

6X6 Rover, can reach speeds above 50 m/s. Handles 2X and 3X time warp quite well. 296 parts. 10.5 tons.

I thought it was over. Luckily, this was an automated flight, no Kerbals on board. Ergo, no one to sh*t their pressure suit.

Before you ask, the transition preset in TCA doesn't work yet. Needs tweaking.

Wow! I just passed 3,000 hours in Kerbal logged by Steam! That is equivalent to playing nonstop for 125 days, or about 8 hours a day for an entire year! And this doesn't even include time launched via CKAN nor my old KSP install I got outside of Steam!

I think I got this install in... I want to say 2022? It is now starting to dawn on me that the pandemic was not two years ago and that I am an adult now. Ow.

Here is to the next 3,000 hours!

I found a 138 billion ton asteriod on a crash course for RSS Earth

Hey, I decided I wanted to finally try KSP after all this time. I watched quite some content on social media, and it looks quite cool, though I feel really overwhelmed by the complexity of the game and what more experienced players do/understand. I am definitely not complaining though, I was hoping for some sort of realism. I came to this subreddit looking for explanations and, I guess some sort of basic guide on these features. Things like what is ∆v and how to use it ( I saw this popping up everywhere but I have no idea what it is ), how to actually make functional spaceships/rockets for going to other celestial bodies (what techniques to use, meta, etc...), tips for increased realism and fun, mods, etc... I am looking forward to playing the game so hopefully I can get some useful answers.

Wondering how U.S. Space Force would brand it's Spacecraft.
