Author Topic: Kerbal Space Program, Or: How I learned to stop worrying and love THRUSTERRRSSSS  (Read 268285 times)



     What is it?

Kerbal Space Program (KSP) is a Work in Progress indie game about helping an alien species with their space program. Currently the most you can do is build rockets and launch them, but once it's fully completed you will (hopefully) be able to build space stations, land on other planets (And build bases on them), and much more!


     Okay, so it's not finished yet. Why should I care about it then?

Because just building rockets and launching them is fun as hell. Remember the very first rockets and how they had a tendency to explode or crash on launch or in flight? Imagine those but with five stage rockets with side mounted thrusters which also have two stages that explode everywhere and you'll have a pretty good jest of it.

And they recently added the Mun in orbit of Kerbal. So you can try and become next Kerbal Armstong! (Or blow up trying)

     Now I'm somewhat interested, But how much will this cost me?

$23 or more in order to get the full version and later updates. The price will also increase over time so it's best to buy it cheap while you can.

     Where can I get the demo?

Over The Hills And Far Away

     There's too little parts for this. Have modders made any more?

Yep! There's plenty of parts and packs, Check out the forums and SpacePort for lods e stuf.

     I installed some parts and now my game won't load!

Installing part packs have a tendency to increase the load times. Also if you have a empty folder (Even if it's got a part's folder inside it) it will prevent the game from loading.

     asdfg I can't do anything with my rockets crashing explosively, help!

The wiki has plenty of good information to help you, The forums are also a good place to visit.
Here's a calculator that tells you where you can go with your rocket's current Delta-V

     Let's see some media.

Sure thing!
