How do you set which order RCS tanks empty?
The launch stage is drawing from the lander stage RCS tanks, and that makes zero sense.
I also can't seem to fix it, there's no order to it at all.

This is a bug.
You can't set it.
My one-man Mün rocket:

Forgot to replace the interstage with the KW one.

So this entire rocket is fucked then? All this work is now rendered useless due to yet another bug?
My general purpose lander. The lander stage is inspired by the Curiosity mars rover's landing stage.

Use vectored engines instead of RCS to control the orientation of the rocket.
[QUOTE=Pelf;36978829]Use vectored engines instead of RCS to control the orientation of the rocket.[/QUOTE]
I am, but that doesn't work for lander stages.
You can fix it by removing the tanks, launching the rocket, then replacing the tanks.
New rocket, now I can reach Minmus

It absorbed the Launch Tower!
Also, here's my Mun rocket.

It's pretty big.

Of course.

Now I am. Damn it's tall.

Would anyone like to share a vanilla mun rocket, just so i can see what im doing wrong with all my own inventions.
wouldn't it collapse under its own weight?
also, got another space station up.. wasted nearly all of its fuel just getting it in orbit, bringing it to almost 45,000 meters.. the thrust-weight ratio isn't enough to compensate for the drag at that point.

I remember when the atmosphere stopped at 30 KM. Right now that still is the height at which the atmosphere actually starts taking a lot of effect when de-orbiting your ship.
[editline]28th July 2012[/editline]
since it usually still goed 2km/s before reaching it and suddenly goes down to 200m/s 20 seconds later.
I just can't use the larger parts, for some reason they always explode mid-air. I never had this problem before with smaller parts/before 0.16

Here's a couple of moon rockets i've used, they're all pretty stable and get the job done with no trouble.
This was a heavy lifting rocket

gets me to minmus and back (i usually mun slingshot though). you'll have to use lander fuel to get where you want to go but lander has shitloads of fuel anyways.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy, if i get this right this will be my first mun landing!

Update: mission failure, ran out of fuel during orbital operations... we made it to the mun, but at what cost...

What mod contains the top part?

Late because of sleep, but I am using those railguns from the modular missile thing
Holy crud, my Mun rocket gets me to Minmus with plenty of fuel to spare.

All of my Spaceplanes either can't sustain flight or can't lift off at all :(

It's pretty simple, have your RCS tanks on your lander and all that jazz, and just dont turn on RCS until your lander is seperated, and in the mean time use vectored engines to compensate for no rcs

I still wish you could land/takeoff from the Mun with RCS alone. It was really useful!
Are there any good unmanned capsules to start the basis for a satellite yet?
