Why? A bug is a bug, plenty of simulator allow you to save in midst of anything. Until the rail system kicks in, this game phisics is just the stock unity physix
There is, however, one notable issue.
Quicksaves make the game forget that your parachutes were still open.

His "final mission" series, he invited people to send in a ship, and I sent in the tug thats on the last page.

So I packed 13km dv in a scansat satellite: objectice, eve!

But it was the wrong time of the year so I couldn't get a intercept unless passing in sun orbit and waiting for the window. So I went to moho.

It wasn't a good intercept and I passed by at 8km/s, far more of what I had left to circularize my orbit.

I collected what scan data I could then, at the other end of the moho soi, I found an almost perfect intercept to eve

Mission accomplished!

Almost. Need to get there and see if I can circularize but eve has one thing moho doesn't to help me: atmosphere so tick asteroids float*

*figuratively. Need to try anyway.

Ah. I have a Eve-copter that if I had heard about this before it was over (and before I learned that it couldn't really take off from Eve, at least not easily), I would have submitted it.
I like how he just stayed silent through much of the Duna-plane-with-too-many-numbers test. Also amusing was how he said it would take more than a minute per craft, but the video was almost exactly one minute for each craft he tested.

...atmosphere so tick asteroids float*
*figuratively. Need to try anyway.
At 20 degrees Celsius and one atm of pressure, air has a density of 1.2 kg/m3. According to the KSP wiki, Eve's atmospheric pressure is 5 atm; assuming a mean surface temperature of 100 degrees Celsius, we should be able to get somewhere.
The Ideal Gas Law states that PV=nRT. Let us assume that the atmospheric composition of Eve and Earth are similar in molar mass, so n is proportional to density. Thus, for Earth, we have (1 atm)(1 m3)=n(8.205e-5 m3*atm*K-1*mol-1)(293 K), with n equaling 41.6 (assuming the math and the constant are correct--the constant was screwed up the first time I did this). Similarly, for Eve, we have (5)(1)=n(8.205e-5)(373), with x being 163.4, very nearly four times the value for Earth. Thus, we can conclude that Eve's atmosphere would be roughly four times denser than Earth's (not quite five kg/m3, or 4.8 milligrams per cubic centimeter). That's not dense enough for much of anything, save lighter gases, to float on top of.

Sorry, Eve's atmosphere cannot float asteroids.

So hum what is this hollowing asteroid mod?

I'm not sure that an asteroid, hollowed out, filled with hydrogen, and then plugged up before being dropped into Eve's atmosphere would count as an asteroid any more than a zeppelin counts as being hematite.

Attach enough balloons to an asteroid and you might be able to float it in Eve atmosphere. Yes, this mod does exist. I think any docking you attempted would rip apart from the weight of the asteroid. Search Hooligan Labs.

problem statement:

fit a crane for minmus base building which can be put into orbit using far&deadly reentry.



using infernal robotic to pack up the structure, kas to strut pieces together once unfolded

need to fix those stairs, however :P

I'm sorry but actually it does.
forsaken mentioned it earlier.

Have you tried quantum struts? There's a KAS version.
