Consider Again That Dot

Post by Vinyl » Mon May 25, 2015 6:50 pm



-----

A (mostly) non-interactive procedural narrative that follows a race of small, green creatures, as they strike out into their solar system. They've achieved great feats thus far, able to build grand and small vessels capable of easily transporting Kerbals throughout their system. However, they've done little with this aside ability, only ever properly assembling a primitive version of one such vessel. More recently, they have made homes beyond the atmosphere of their planet and are beginning the first steps towards a permanent residence on their closest moon, in orbit of which is said vessel.

The Kerbals do face a mighty adversary though, their planet is dying. There will come a point when it will be rendered uninhabitable (and they can no longer launch new vessels). For the preservation of their species, they must venture out and colonize new worlds. To this end, they have devised a plan. It's rough at this point, but it outlines the basic plans.

The Story So Far:
Kerbin Space Station 1
Spoiler:

Module 1 in LKO

Module 2 (basic life support) docked
Image
Module 3 (primary habitation) docked
Image
Ranger 00 docked
Kerbin Communications Network

KCS-1, like 2 and 3, are in Keostationary orbit
Mun Surface Colony

Ranger 01 makes a hard landing, is later scrapped
Valentina Kerman plants a flag to mark the landing zone for the colony modules
A member of the landing part observes the place where one of the engines used to be

Lander 01 ferried an analysis module to the surface
The crew of Ranger 01 sets up in the module as Valentina hitches a ride on the lander

Lander 01 returns to the Endurance. Preparations for the next landings are made

Why did nobody think of this before....

Guess it would be cheating to use custom parts though.
