the most awesome KSP videos

[rav]

Hey post your favorite ksp videos here! I'd love to see some cool ideas or builds or just funny moments.

here is one of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJQhPPIVoSA

I must say this guy in general has really awesome KSP videos and is most likely one of the best and most inventive ksp players ever.
I was amazed at some things he pulled off .

He should have used more claws to give the asteroid landing gear, haha

modded engines, weird ascent trajectory.

But yeah, landing an asteroid is not that hard. Except you land 3500t E class asteroid without mining it down first. Depleted small A class ones can have remaining weight below 10t. Which is "nothing". We do land 300..1000t motherships on various bodies including Kerbin occasionally.

One of my favorite videos is Matt Lowne sending 60 men SSTO to Laythe - due to "chill" execution with multiple gravity assists. But in the end there are too many to mention them all.

The video is frm 2015 and the description says that it was made before the aerodynamics overhaul so maybe that explains why he has a weird ascent trajectory, could be modded too but i dont know.

Anyway you should post cool videos not try to debate about the one i posted :P

heres another one i found amazing, same guy though

i didnt even know it was possible to get to the seabed and launch from there.

You're on a different road, I'm in the Milky Way
You want me down on earth, but I am up in space
You're so damn hard to please, we gotta kill this switch
You're from the 70's, but I'm a 90's b!tch

I love it!
I love it!

Oh, please. Don't tell me what I should do :D

The reason I mentioned modded is - you can mod the shet out of KSP. 1kg asteroid with zero drag for example. And not just that. When I consider video for an achievement, this is an important criteria to differentiate gold from bronze.

I think the updated aero might punish the design these days though. Be nice to see a 1.3 attempt.

I guess it is still doable, you just have to factor in all the nose cones missing here for launch. Also, in case there is Rhino engine somewhere or some other with changed performances, you should adjust that. The basic idea of multiple ships launched at once is still valid.
You can also create a single ssto style ship which lands on every body and Eve as the last one where it drops all the parts during takeoff and returns to Kerbin. With mining in this case. There is actually contract for that - ultimate challenge. ~8mio in reward. Doable. It will take closer to 30 years though.

It's not about what the man accomplishes, which is a LEO docking basically, it's mostly about the quality that the Extreme Textures mod can provide and the editing. The chosen music is also great.

The next video is from the same dude:

Great manned lunar landing and return, like Apollo 11. In the real solar system, doing a manned moon landing and return is much more difficult than in stock KSP.

I like basically most rss vids and scott (and marcus') gpp series.

does extreme textures cause extreme crashes?

It may, depending on how much RAM you got.

I'd assume atleast 16Gb would be recommended.

I was joking

I wasn't. Running out of RAM is a serious issue. D:

[Dandyman]

Still one of my favorites from way back.

For me, it only caused some visual bugs, not very disturbing, prolly due to the fact that I only have 8 GB of RAM. And obviously the game would run quite slow, you can't really launch crafts with 200+ parts and after like 4 hours you gotta exit and restart the game.
