Kerbal Space Program, Or: How I learned to stop worrying and love THRUSTERRRSSSS

[MegaScientifical]

I find it hilarious to add rockets to the sides of my craft, then select the whole section of it and press Shift+W a few times to turn it, then reattach and add a stuffload of struts. Spins like forget. All those struts made it take a long time to break apart.

In love with this thing :)

Nice
share that craft file yo

Is anyone else freezing like constantly in .15?

OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH
I JUST DID MY FIRST RENDEZVOUS


BY ACCIDENT!
Without any RCS either! :O!!!!
It was tremendously hard. I had to flip my bulky slow ship every 5 seconds to fire my rockets for 1 second.

I put my newest spaceplane into orbit, which I got inspired to build after seeing Blaman's
I noticed that my orbit is almost exactly the same as a very old spacedelta I made.



I said "meh, I'll see if I can get any close it it." I didn't think I would be able to actually rendezvous with it because I've tried like 20 times with much better ships.


Oh my gosh, I'm so close to it, I'll try harder!


OH MY GOSH


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :D

(last image is smaller because I had to reduce the size and compress to upload successfully. That's how slow my internet is.)

I did it again holy crap.

First try too.
This is suddenly easy now that I am experienced. B)

Those ships are giving me Elite flashbacks.

my ships can never make it into orbit, their either too heavy, dont have enough fuel, fall apart at launch, fall apart somewhere after launch, or just outright explode

[LOL :D]

That looks like stuff.
Good stuff.

You should work for NASA.

You should work for NASA.

he'd fit right in!

Use struts, correct staging, symmetry option on, etc. I manage to launch my ships into solar orbit, which is basically doom.

[steve5451]

Planets need a higher SOI if we are going to fly between planets in the future.
Seriously, it's nearly impossible to rendezvous with your planet again. The SOI is too small. :c

[steve5451]

Oh yeah, I'm so pro. B)



But apparently these "docking nodes" aren't real in the Kosmos pack
Or am I just doing it wrong?

[J MASTER]

I'm a noob ^.^
I have the demo =o
Having difficulties getting the controls right =S
Any tips?
(yes, I have the anti supershakefail module)
Got really close to the Mun.
Couldn't make it into orbit though =S

[steve5451]

We're locked, captain.
