Flying the Interstellar SSTO from "Into The Warp" + Alien Ships, Space Stations, and Lots of Mining 

For the past 7 months, Matt has provided us with amazing content, in fact, I think you could say his ksp 1.9+ videos are some of his best content. Yet the quality never decreased, all while maintaining his plant coaster videos, and don’t forget working full time. Somebody get this man an award! One last note...Matt, I hope you see this...Have you ever thought about an ssto to Dres? I don’t think I have ever seen a mission like that.

The annoying fuel transfer thing is a recent bug. You don't need to quick save and quickload to fix it, you can fix it by mousing over the fuel guages on the top right fuel ui thingy. I have no idea why that works, but it does.

Matt Lowne: Uses a shielded docking port. Also Matt Lowne: Never closes it, therefore making the shielded part pointless

"I have seen a lot of landings, Almost three" that made my day. "Almost a landing"

Matt in 2018: 400m/s is the magic speed Matt in 2019: 440m/s Matt in September 2020: 450m/s Matt in 2100: god it's 2103856819345829358618376819258293586m/s (and see the craft overheat)

I was eating my dinner and then my phone ring “interstellar SSTO” Hmm is dinner important?

Such a amazing and dedicated creator !!

"Filling up the oxidizer tank adds a huge amount of dry mass!" Matt, I don't think that's what dry mass means

What does it feel like to record a 1 hour movie with F2 and without showing your cursor

can't wait to watch into the warp now. also thanks for that mod, when the internet is live in my new house i can't wait to try it!!

Matt lowne I have that glitch all the time with transferring fuel. Even in the same crafts the game won't let me transfer fuel from one tank to the other. Now that you have put this video out with this glitch in it I hope it will be removed

"Imagine trying to lift heavy payloads and trying to stay in the air at the same time" -This post was written by the Single stage rocket gang.

1am: I should get sle- HEY MATT LOWNE UPLOADED Dammit.

Yes! a weekend isn't complete without a Matt Lowne video! Love your videos, Matt!

Exactly what I needed :) . Time to find out some secrets to Into The Warp!

"I've seen many landings in my time, almost 3!" What do you mean "Almost?"

Mr. Lowne I work in the space industry in the US and I love watching your creativity. KSP is one of my favorite games on PC. Keep it coming bud.

This video is definitely more than half the length of in to the warp. This video seemed more like a planet coaster video where there wasn't a definitive plan and it was just fun footage of Matt playing around.

Finally its out. So happy thanks man

RU-vid POST processing has kinda done a significant changes in the graphics... MOARR BRIGHTNESS

I’m really proud to say I learned docking extremely quickly

istg your outros are the best. like sometimes i just skip to the ending to laugh at your phenomenal last word

There are also lights in KSP, to be able to do docking on the dark side. For party mode you can also make them any colour you want.... 😉

Thank you Matt, Very cool!

Mate you really great craft. Hats off to you.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Dunno why anyone is doubting this ship. Its just a normal Argus class SSTO with some small mods.

Thank you Matt nice job 😊👍🙂

I Love your Videos Matt! Really Amazing Plane

Last time I was this early I had a decent joke

The VAB/SPH problems with the shielded docking port is the same with the inline covered docking ports

I love your vids man :D

Hey matt, I was wondering if you could do a science mode play through on a kopernicus mod that adds new star systems or make your own? (sadly at the moment n extrasolar mods are compatible with the current version of ksp). But if you do get around to this i very very very very highly suggest you use a mod called “ksp interstellar extended”. Its a mod that is compatible with the current version of ksp and it extends the tech tree by practically two-fold. It adds hundreds of new parts such as solar sails, fusion engines, new cockpits, reactors, radiators, thermal reactors, nuclear jet engines, and at the end of the tech tree is the alcubierre warp drive. Like so matt can see this, This would be an awesome series!!

Wouldn't mind seeing an "intact" version of the alien ship.

this is great

Awesome video and keep it up!! I wish NASA thought about this technological method of space travel.

Fuckin loved this vid Matt, your videos are my favorite to watch, I’ve rewatched all of them because they are soooo good

I have been playing around with kraken drives like the ZPK drive recently. I would like to see Matt's take on game glitch ships.

Yessssss new vid i love your vids :0

It honestly is the best looking ssto you made if you would ask me

It is possible with cheats but not when I'm using it

I feel like a cool video idea would be to make a mothership with a docked mining refueler and relays and stuff. Than travel to like the Jool system or even visiting a bunch of past space stations and surface colonies, unless a video has already been made like this without my knowledge

I just watch your movie and is so cool

its so bright!!

That tokyo drift at the end :D

the alien ship looks like it could fit right in with Halo.

You are an amazing builder in that game 😯

This man is a legend he uploads consistently while replying to comments and working a full time job he needs to be knighted

I get that glitch too, usually when I'm moving my fuel around in spaceplane descent... Yay for quicksave

Matt lowen your voice is relaxing

Nice a Matt lowne vid

4:55 i love this shot

Good video 😊 👍 one suggestion. Autostrut that station to the heaviest part it will cut down on the SAS wobbles

the game has bloom!, I usually just play Matt's videos as podcasts, I just realized his game has mods (?) for bloom

Hey Matt, could you make a video about comets and what you can do with them?

I hope that when ksp 2 comes out you will rebuild this and see if it actually works as an interstellar ship or something

9:30 POV: You’re doing an LKO mission and your station starts twerking:

I've had that fuel transfer bug but I thought it was due to the mods I had installed. I have ship manifest installed though, so whenever the bug crops up I just use that instead. Its not a part mod, more a QOL like KER, so perhaps you could use that and still maintain your stock approach to ships, missions, etc?

I saw you at the everyday astronauts live stream Matt 🙂

36:44 epic drift!

"I've been in this place before I think" 😂😂😂

17:30 diet Pepsi ASMR wasn't expecting that🤨

Amphibious 👏mobile👏base!

Matt: complains about oxidizer and carrys half the craft full of ore with him the entire way back

I've had the same fuel transfer problem and as far as I can tell this is how it happens. For some odd reason if you open the information window for an individual tank AND use the show all/transfer resources box then it maybe might work for a moment and then just fail endlessly. If you close the transfer stuff and then close the individual tank information window and then reopen the transfer stuff it will then work. Now it should also be noted that I didn't seem to have this issue until after I had moded my KSP so that might be the reason you don't normally encounter this issue in your purist mainstream videos. (compatibility is kewl then we can just add/replace with our own moded parts the little bits)

Forget hwisky reviews, we want more Pepsi reviews!

Dejavú! I've been in this place before

Always bring a drain valve Matt, always be prepared just in case.

Nice

I've had that glitch so many times! I've started using a fuel/charge transfer mod which just let's me simply transfer fuel or electric charge from one ship to another with a click of a button.

Matt: I made a blund- Future Matt: O N A L O N L Y P L A N E T S P I N N I N G I T ' S W AY-

You should do a video on beyond home. I played it before it is so fun. It can be like a special thing to do like for a day. Like a mission in beyond home for a day

Drifting with an ssto!

New Jersey tomato farmers represent , best in the world.

What visual mod are you using and what game version are you playing?

Matt, why do you disable pitch yaw and roll after you exit the atmosphere??

Docking is definitely one of the most hardest stuff. But once I got it the first time, it now seems to be easy. Using your lazy method off docking makes it that much easier.

I have found the easiest way, that I know of, to deal with the fuel transfer bug, is to double tap esc between each tank transfer. Transfer one tank, then double tap esc, basically pause/unpause quickly, then go on to the next tank. repeat as needed.

Matt, I'd like to see you do more with asteroids. Maybe put an asteroid in orbit around all planets?

Every time someone says dock the interstellar docking theme starts playing in my head

I have had the fuel problem, I usually fix it by moving the mouse cursor over the Resources Panel and the fuel then transfer happens again.( better than reloading all the time)

I've seen some glitches as well. I couldn't attach a strut or a duct. So, I had to go without and altered the decoupler to added as one. Then I had to alter the fuel flow priorities so it would drain the external first and when it got to zero I had to manually stage it. Am also seeing other screw ball behaviour.

The alien ship kinda reminded me of the collector ship from mass effect.

In my current save I have a slightly different fuel transfer bug, where when I finish transferring between one pair of tanks, if I open another tank (and close one of the others in the process) it won't transfer until I close and re-open the new tank. And of course it isn't reliable and always closing and reopening the second tank sometimes triggers the bug instead of fixing it, so transferring fuel is always a pain.

I've picked up that ksp doesn't like to pump fuel 'upwards' now idk, in my little encounters with this bug I found facing the receiving craft towards the celestial body you're orbiting seemed to help.

The "We like Ike" statement was good. Shout out US presidents lol

Had to watch it in 2x speed, really ling video

Как всегда удивительные и отличные крафты!!!

Yesh

Yeah Matt that glitch has happened to me no matter what you do the fuel tanks just give up on life

Matt Lowne = 60% KSP + 30% complaining about RU-vid compression making things darker + 10% random object review

what mod did you use for the other solar system?

I have a video idea, im not sure if it has been done before or is possible but its to make a base hanging from the roof of the tylo cave using the grabbing unit.

Matt You have to put all your ksp movies on dvds or Netflix Please Love your movies

You should do colonization series with interplanetary VABs, there is mod for that stuff, it would be cool seeing you colonizing solar system. I noticed that you like stock game, but this would be really interesting, rocket launchers from others planets would be awesome.

* Has mining gear for infinite range * Needs to dock to a refueling station in LKO Exactly like my SSTOs! :) But my big one keeps emptying my refueling station, so I'm rebuilding it with more fuel and less cargo space in the hope it'll reach Minmus without refueling. I liked the asteroid mining without an AGU in the movie. I say that having just carefully figured out how to shoehorn an AGU into 2 different vehicles. In neither case is it fit for towing, so it's theoretically unnecessary, but I'm not sure I'm a good enough pilot. Or rather, I'd have to fit really weak RCS to get fine enough control. Likewise with the interior of the abandoned ship. Or perhaps I just fit overly strong RCS normally. I try to avoid 0.0km separation, these days. :) One of the first times I rendezvoused my current best mining ship with a tanker, it whooshed past at 50m/s and far too little separation. The mining ship is a long collection of Mk3 and 3.75m parts, so for surface stability it has a quartet of FAT-455 wings as pylons. One of these destroyed a Gigantor solar panel fitted to the middle of the tanker. It just whooshed through it, leaving photovoltaic _shards._ It's a miracle both ships weren't reduced to their constituent parts, really!

Hey matt , I have a challenge : Assemble a Rocket on the Mun 😂

Man I was afflicted by this fuel bug too

Found the issue with fuel transfer myself. Select the fuel tanks you want to transfer, then hover over the fuel type on the upper right which will show all tanks of that type then go back to start the fuel transfer. This will save restarts.

What about as a bit of excitement, you get a space station on a decaying orbit and attempt a rescue rendezvous before it renters atmosphere, or attempt to stabilise it
