Author Topic: Kerbal Space Program, Or: How I learned to stop worrying and love THRUSTERRRSSSS  (Read 349135 times)

please be more specific or include images. we're not wizards.
I use the 3.75 Heavy Launcher but when I get to a certain height the fuel station breaks off of it

for all those people complaining about being unable to get to other planets: it's essentially inherently designed that you can't escape Kerbal SoI and make any meaningful rendezvous with other bodies WITHOUT USING A DOCKING SYSTEM. please for the love of christ start assembling larger ships in orbit or otherwise it will be nearly impossible to escape Kerbal SoI.
Lol wat.
I've never assembled a ship in orbit (I have assembled stations tho) and I landed on Eeloo.

strut the stuff out of it and make it perfectly symmetrical
is KW all you're using?


Basically this

I took your fuel tank and did this to it:



then put lots of SRB's on it



I almost got orbit with this, it needs just a bit more fuel and or boosters. I would keep trying but I have to go now. I'd work off of this though, it's very stable.

you can save yourself a lot of DV by not usimg ASAS modules and using the older SAS ones. They both use the same amount of torque but the ASAS ones are way heavier.

Plus the 1 already strapped to the orange tank is plenty enoughfor stable flight. You're just adding lots of unnessecary weight.

Let me try this again seeing how it just got ignored completelyLet me try this again

Has anyone tried playing this online? We should start a server up or something

absolute chaos

I would like it but we're most likely all gonna be out of sync and people would just switch into each other's ships and destroy them

Am I the only one that 99% of all my launches are at night

it's almost like the days last 2 hours in this game

Did this once with TomTheGeek.

Put a space station in orbit and seconds later it was deorbited in spectacular action. And I didn't have to do any of it.

I wasn't even mad.


Imma start a server up just for stuffs and giggles, brb.

I think you're a tad confused. The ASAS module is the large one. It only has a mass of .2 tons. The older "SAS" ones, formally named "Inline Advanced Stabalizer" have a weight of half a ton. So yes, they botht use the same amount of torque but that ASAS ones are slightly, not way, heavier.

Unless you are talking about the Inline Reaction Wheels, in which case they are .3 tons each. But I can't tell.

And if we're talking about a heavy rocket such as that, the amount of weight those add is utterly negligible. So much so that I decided to test it with and without and it made a difference of 600m (With, coming to a peak of 14500m after discarding SRBs, and without coming to 15100m).

So really, it's just nit-picking, which I understand as it is just helpful criticism and I'm not upset or anything lol, but when we are talking about a difference of 600m, I could care less. That's like saying if you take out the A/C in your car you will get 0.05 mpg more.

However, that would be extremely helpful if you build to the dot, calculating the exact mass, DV needed, etc. which is noteworthy.

i'll have to check out this KMP :O

Its not going to be huge, its only 1 orange tank

If you are still looking to get that into orbit, this is pretty much perfect for it
