Author Topic: Kerbal Space Program, Or: How I learned to stop worrying and love THRUSTERRRSSSS  (Read 347651 times)

I've only landed on the moon successfully once.
I've crashed into it twice.
Getting to it is barely any trouble anymore, but I just can't seem to land.
The last time my fuel tank showed about 8 percent, I knew, that if if possible, I could use it all at once and slow myself down. I hit the ground right before I realized I had the mini fuel tank that I use as my last resort. If I remembered that, I prolly could of made it. :c
I use C7 pack just because it's prettier.

I think G Force should be able to kill some of the astronauts.
Like, you suddenly start 10 rockets at once on full throttle and it shakes all/1 or 2 of the kerbals to death.
Once dead the ship would just keep going and you won't be able to control it.

That's planned in the near future.

Oh stuff--I'm in the earth's orbit.
...Now how do I get down...?

I has built mun roket.
I know it works quite well, it's very stable and all the stages work as planned, but I'm too lazy to actually TRY to get to the moon.

mods?

I'm going to try to maintain low Earth orbit. How do I do so?

Go to 80,000 M
Go 2300 m/s
Thrust downwards to stop increasing in altitude for steady 80,000 M.
Make sure you are still going 2300 m/s

You have just made a very smooth orbit.
About 65 is the minimum for orbit, but I don't recommend anything under 80.

EDIT: I'm currently designing a new ship to get to the Mün. My old one barely makes it, but that's really just my fault. I spend more time correcting my flight than using it to get there. I still need a more stable rocket.
Gonna get the sunny pack or whatever it's called.

What about getting to the moon?

EDIT: Sorry for all the questions, I haven't played in ages.

What does RCS do? And some of my parts seemed to be a discolored pink color. What can I do to fix that?

And some landing pegs from some other mod.

It seems to work, but I need to fly it better.
