done lol

here's my attempt, it can't fly
...yet

[Aide33]

that looks hot so far max

[Jaxx]

breaking news: i'm a dummy and forgot how the RT2 flight computer works, so now i have to wait 20 minutes real time for my satellite to make another pass as i set up a global network. *donk*

why not time acceleration

why not time acceleration

i remember hearing something about a group of players who thought using time acceleration was cheating.

I'm going to find those players and strangle them with a steel chain then

I'd rather not wait 2 real life years to go to another planet.

rt2 is semi-glitchy, and it was trying to execute a maneuver node i had planned. BUT it thought it was always currently trying to so it'd dial back the accel. trust me i would if i could, nothing's cheating in a single player game. it's YOUR game.

[Jubel]

the only cheating is when you use the in game cheats lol
not that it matters though infinite rcs is fun for making little moon gliders

except it's not, because you're still playing the game you want to. you only cheat when you're making someone else's experience worse. if you really limit yourself that much because someone else tells you to, you might want to consider a job in the robotics industry ( as a robot ).

I've just tried out RT2, and man it makes the game more interesting.

Also, I've noticed I could make a engineless plane, with just wings and was able to fly by angling the plane up and then down constantly to build up speed, can/has anyone else do this?

[Messes]

Technically putting on infinite fuel/unbreakable joints/infinite RCS is cheating because, well, you are enabling cheats in the cheat menu. Not that I care at all, I use it to mess around with things all the time. (Especially for testing things, I can turn on infinite fuel and fly a tiny rocket to space to test stuff).

But the only one I absolutely would not consider a cheat is collision in part editor. That's 100% awesome, you're going to need it in a lot of cases, and you can make much better looking craft by using it.

I have the demo, this game is cool.

spaaaaaaaaaaace

honestly it's spectacularly good and makes the game much better, but don't use it. RT2 is horrendously broken and actually summons a portal from whence the space kraken may strike on all your ships, it's getting major reboots when .24 comes around.

install FAR. seriously, you're doing it wrong if you're making planes and not using FAR, it makes them actually...work.
