I just want to get .17
But downloading the patcher gives me A FUCKING EXE WHAT THE FUCK
Downloading the full zip gives me corrupt shit
why :(
Am I the only one who's load ship button doesn't work?
I'm having trouble putting a rocket into orbit using stock parts. Could someone provide a refresher on basic rocket design using KSP's stock parts? Or is there still the rocket building tutorial in the VAB?

imo don't use solid boosters. one of the best stock designs i use is (top to bottom):
lander
4 large fuel tanks under it (stacked vertically) with engine
attached to the middle via radial decouplers: 4 large fuel tanks with engine. x6
the lander can't be too heavy but have a picture

Take note of the staging (3 SRBs at a time), and just stack more fuel tanks on the lower stage for more range. This got me to a safe Mun landing with very sloppy flying (I completely missed on my first transfer attempt and got slingshot halfway to Minmus, and somehow corrected my path and ended up crossing paths with it again a few orbits later)
For anyone looking for help with a Duna encounter:
1) Get Kerbin to be trailing Duna by a little bit
2) put you ship into orbit around Kerbin
3) Burn prograde when you start crossing the light/dark boundary of Kerbin (going into the dark)
4) Keep burning until you get the encounter
It will be very quick on the map, especially if you're using a high-thrust engine.

as a modder I like these new centers of nodes 0_O
Borderlands 2 and KSP 0.17 in the same day? Productivity is at an all time low.
Although it looks like the patcher is on my side, it doesn't let me log in. Guess I'm using the full download... as usual.
[QUOTE=Dacheet;37729693]Damn it, this update seems to have really killed my FPS when I'm looking at surfaces. Any way to fix that?[/QUOTE]
I'm running this at like 200 times better, even though I turn off aa

damnit Kessler editor doesn't work
no easy orbit now
Is anyone else getting their parts/engines randomly ripped off after time accelerating in the sun's orbit?
look at all you smug fuckers and your fancy planet landers
i never managed to get onto minmus
gun find me sum kethane

That was a scary capture and landing. I ran out of fuel just before I lowered my orbit to the atmosphere so I had to use RCS. The parachute didn't deploy until I was only a few hundred meters off the ground but luckily I was going in very shallow and had space to decelerate. But I made it:

And mechjeb broke again so it didn't save. Fuck!
Is 4X seriously the highest warp speed?
[QUOTE=joshjet;37730497]Is 4X seriously the highest warp speed?[/QUOTE]
Only in atmosphere. Outside it goes up to 100,000x
[QUOTE=joshjet;37730497]Is 4X seriously the highest warp speed?[/QUOTE]
in atmosphere yes. in .16 it was 1 so be thankful
So...
Does this game let you assemble a ship in orbit and then go do a mining operation on another planet or an asteroid?

Not yet.
Note the word "yet".

with the kethane mod yes

Sadly, not yet.
You can use a mod to "mine" the bodies for "kethane" to make rocket fuel, though.

and double ninjad
Is there a mirror for the 1.7 download? The website is either down or congested and the patcher isn't working.
So I have been testing my favorite rocket design, and I realized something.
.16:
Rocket slow
Very efficient due to fuel bug
Shattered apart on high throttle
.17:
gotta go fast
very efficient
Stays together at high throttle
:v:
I guess I didn't show this off here, but I built a TIE Interceptor in 1.6. Flies pretty well outside the atmosphere... Might try to recreate it for deep space travel.

I'm having trouble with the B Wing Fighter I'm working on right now, forgive me. It flips over constantly, even on top of the launch vehicle... Can't balance it due to the design. Suggestions?
Since kesslers gone I want to put my station around Dina how do you edit persistence manually
fffffffffffffff are parachutes fucked up or is it me? trying to make a rover with mostly stock parts but it gets ripped apart when the parachutes open
Wait, so do mods like Kosmos and Kethane work on 0.17 even though they haven't been updated?
Well, hot damn. I hope the servers are back by Friday so that I can get down to the nitty-gritty.
I just hope that my computer can handle Kosmos with only four gigs of RAM.
Orbited EVE but runed out of fuel for the landing.
