How experienced are you at Orbiter?

[Quick_Nick]

The last option is obviously a joke. Whoever selects that is making a joke, too.

I'm pretty sure it's possible though, if you know some information about the flea's orbit.

Someone should make a space flea vessel and try it out! I know I definitely couldn't do it but I bet someone around here could!

 

[Aeadar]

Wait... I was supposed to have the pointy end forward? :facepalm:

It must be broken because I can't keep the nose up!

:rofl:

That pesky nose glitch again?! Someone really should tell Martin about that.:lol:

Ok - basically I can do interplanetary transfers (Hohmann) using IMFD - transXis black magic for me. Also launches, reentries, interception & docking.

Still need to learn slighots.

But frankly I haven't played with any serious mission for a long time - most of my orbiter time I spend on developing things. (40 MTS launches to adjust ascent path)

Anything but slingshots, really.

I can also drop a UCGO nuke from orbit onto any given target coordinates...

I ticked "I can do interplanetary trips easily" when in reality, I can do interplanetary trips, but it isn't an easy thing I can do over and over again perfectly, honestly I don't think the poll is necessary.

To be honest I'm a little angry.

For the last hour, I've been scrubbing Neptunian flies of my Deltaglider.

They make a mess at 12km/s.

I don't think so. In theory it might work, but practically the spot to hit is so small that you can't time it exactly and precise enough to have a single burn.
If it works, it is sheer luck IMHO. But I welcome every proof that refutes me .

However, it would make an interesting challenge with a nice scoring system. How many burns do you need to hit the flea? Almost like space golf... what's your flea-handicap?

Februaries addon challenge is flees...yes you heard that correctly.

for me i can launch to an orbit, rendevous, dock, and get to the moon. Still got a problem Landing on a specified point. And ive never tried a proper mars transfer(proper= no warpMFD :lol

 

[bande]

except atmoshperic reentry & landing, and interplanetary trips, I can do almost everything :thumbup:
now my goal is to reach my destination in the most efficient way :thumbup:

 

[Urwumpe]

What is the DV needed for getting from Mercury to Neptune at all, BTW... I am not even sure it is possible to do such a transfer unless you mod the DG...

Maybe it is possible in a once in a billion flight if the DV is enough for a proper gravity assist at Jupiter... but I never attempted this yet.
