It seems I am not alone. it could be the vehicle approaching maximum dynamic pressure... or simply the engine crapping out. Is there a debug mode where you can see the forces acting upon the craft? at least in a numerical form
If that's happening, you should use more support struts and make sure nothing's wobbling around. Definitely be sure to tie any central columns to outer stacks.
Try to throttle down from 100% to around 60-70% for a few seconds and then see what happens.
Behold, tales from Minmus!
Jeb, Mitger and Corwell flew to minmus, their rocket landed on one side, capsule fell off. Luckily, the crew tank was still attached to the fuel tank and engine! Corwell proudly volunteered, and gave it the bees knees, the whole thing explodes, nearly kills Jeb and Mitger standing besides the craft (Should have moved them), and throws the tank half a kilometer away from Jeb and Mit. Engine flies off to god knows where. Luckily, everyone survived, and I shall now attempt a rescue mission!

People were commenting how awesome it would be if we could do that. Now we can!
If I can land on the mun, Expect a tutorial on how I do it. That reminds me, us experimental people got an addon for testing the experimental's that allow us to put aviators on our kerbals.
Yeah the new liquid engines are really wobbly when the atmosphere starts to thin out

I can't wait for the jeb-conomy update :v:
Oversized decouplers seriously need a strength boost.
I cant believe I even got this up here after ~30 flights each with its own problems

Finally make it to the moon.
fail to slow down in time and smash into the surface at 500m/s.

[B]Guys the main site is back up for people that are looking to download/buy the game [/B]
Just a quick update regarding Kerbalnet. The mod creation process is completed and all that really remains is a bunch of user-management schtuffs and some admin controls.
We hope to have it ready to be tested within a few days but we might need to get a new VPS though depending on what kind of download speeds we get, can you guys please [url=kerbal.net/lib/test/downloads/testfile.zip]download this test file[/url] and tell me how fast it is, it should be faster than kerbalspaceprogram.com hosted files at least.
Server is AP region so European and American users are my main target for the download speed test.
Thanks guys
Surprisingly, I didn't break up at all

Around 40, maybe 50 seconds from Melbourne, but my first download dropped the connection after 500kb for some reason. Second and third downloads were flawless.
Only wishes: sideways ladders, ability to have more crew pods.
Also if you're landing by parachute, you can eva your kerbals and have them ride down on the ladders. I've tested it.

You can rotate ladders.
Also, I had the brilliant idea to bring jeb bill and bob over to mission control in a buggy, then eva them so they could sit there and watch the pretty launches.
I start the next mission, and it still had them in the crew rotation :v

Generally if my first couple of launches don't work out I go back to the drawing board
Also after having a craft violently shake itself apart outside of Kerbin's atmosphere, I don't think it's dynamic pressure.
We're probably just not used to the limits of the new parts compared to the power of the engines.
I think that the planet needs some cities dotting it and a road system maybe so it doesn't look so barren. (Also so we have some stuff to crash into.)
wait its updating
YES
Anyone that has experience with mechjeb; does it have a function to rendevous with another orbiting object?

Not in the version for 1.6, yet at least.

I now have an unmanned satellite orbiting Kerbin, and this German sounding Kerman is back home.
Fuck, anybody notice SAS is fucking useless and does not keep you on a straight ish path?
[QUOTE=nomad1;36895493]Fuck, anybody notice SAS is fucking useless and does not keep you on a straight ish path?[/QUOTE]
SAS tries to stop changes in angle, although if you only are using your pod's SAS and/or one SAS module all this means is it'll slowly stop you spinning (useful in space).
A single ASAS module will actually use your controls to keep your ship pointed at whatever attitude it was at. I think you want an ASAS module.

God damnit, my rockets keep imploding due to the game not being able to handle the power of them. I really hope they fix that soon.
