Kerbal Space Program, or: "How many rockets can I slap onto this thing?" - Games

I usually just put a small retro rocket on it using a small fuel tank and engine. It's always more than enough to get the capsule out of orbit.

i am so confused, my rcs rockets only cause my ship to freak out

I can't manage to make hardpoints work. What do I need to do?

lol I just got a ridiculous eliptical orbit, AP of 3million something meters (or km i forget) and a PE of 65km.

Should I first play this without mods and after getting the basics down download a few? Or just start the game with mods already installed?

[QUOTE=MegaPear;32703687]Should I first play this without mods and after getting the basics down download a few? Or just start the game with mods already installed?[/QUOTE] I started with no mods. If you could get into orbit without mods, you're set. Mods are basically a game enhancer, to see exactly how crazy of a rocket you can get to orbit.

Can someone send me their settings.cfg, or at least the portion of it with the keybinds? Mine is fucked and I have a fresh install.

Any news on when you'll be able to swap out your crew module (without replacing it outright) guys?

Also, if you're struggling with larger rockets (or using mods with stronger parts larger tanks etc etc) and the RCS thrusters, I've just tried out increasing their thrust to 10 instead of 1 and they work beautifully on big rockets.

[QUOTE=Winstonn;32708871]alt f4[/QUOTE] Don't be a dick. It is either F1 or F2

[QUOTE=MegaPear;32705978]Now thats just silly[/QUOTE] You have much to learn.

I cant seem to make a single stable rocket after this patch.

So I'm working on a thing: [img]http://i.imgur.com/BheU8.png[/img]

[QUOTE=MegaPear;32705978]Now thats just silly[/QUOTE] What the hell else are we going to do with all these rocket parts? Go to space? Fuck that.

[QUOTE=biodude94566;32709951]So I'm working on a thing: [img]http://i.imgur.com/BheU8.png[/img][/QUOTE] I'm guessing this may be released as a mod if we get additional crew members to [del]kill[/del] get in orbit.

I hate when KSP is loadong so slowly with many extraparts.

How do I see my flight path? Looks cool.

Press M.

Thanks :) [editline]10th October 2011[/editline] It's not working! (I'm using 10.1)

Use .11x

Ah, thanks :)

[QUOTE=Mindfuck 2;32711235]I hate when KSP is loadong so slowly with many extraparts.[/QUOTE] Yeah, those parts really increase the "loadong" time.

Meh , im sure that harvy will work something out on loading time.

[QUOTE=DrasarSalman;32711738]Yeah, those parts really increase the "loadong" time.[/QUOTE] Yeah i love me some good dong.

We need a car mod. [editline]10th October 2011[/editline] 0.11 x4 is out!

wooo x4 Changelog: [quote]New: * Changed most flight calculations to use double-precision Bug Fixes: * Found and fixed the most likely cause of ship destruction when exiting time warp. * Fixed the insane G forces when transitioning into or out of high warp.[/quote]

I just achieved my first orbit and deorbit using only vanilla parts! :D
