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

These days I can't fucking get into orbit to save my life. So I'll just say I managed to cover 957089.5m during my launch.

[QUOTE=krail9;32809892]Now I want interior/cockpit view in KSP :v:[/QUOTE] Challenge A-fucking-ccepted. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/LaLPO.png[/thumb] Nailed it. (Yes, I made this in the time between your post and mine. At 1:30am)

Is fuel supposed to flow through decouplers? I made a two-staged plane but the first carrier stage is using up the fuel from my actual plane. [thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13781308/Space%20Plane.png[/thumb]

Yes

[QUOTE=Pelf;32812013]Is fuel supposed to flow through decouplers? I made a two-staged plane but the first carrier stage is using up the fuel from my actual plane. [thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13781308/Space%20Plane.png[/thumb][/QUOTE] Thats a problem I've been having as well. Fuel from the central fuel tank is being used by auxiliary thrusters. They will probably add in controls for this eventually.

Hey I just thought of this: wouldn't it be cool/useful to be able to reroute fuel from fuel tanks with pipes? They'd work like struts in the sense that you pick begin and endpoint (source tank and the target tank/engine) and the pipes would "stick" to the ship and only use right angles (so it looks neat). It would add to the complexity/looks of the ship and it'd be really useful...

Alright you win :(

RCS makes piloting so much easier and more precise.

Once the devs implement the ability to select pilots what do you think the difference between them will be? Maybe more fuel efficiency? More precise turning? Maybe they'll have different personality types that dictate whether they keep cool like Jeb or freak out like his brothers.

Looking back on the first pages of this thread is hilarious.

fuck yes did my first orbit, semi-circularized, twice around and all orbital manuevers done using RCS

[IMG]http://puu.sh/76mc[/IMG] I now have orbiting and de-orbiting down to a fine art, don't aim towards the planet and floor it, simply slow your rotation around the planet and you will drop like a brick.

I love how easy it is now to halt rotational motion. Just have RCS activated and tap f.

[QUOTE=LarparNar;32813385][hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bHkZ4mHhDU[/hd] What you guys whinin' about.[/QUOTE] That's a great vid. It taught me to be a little patient and not try to get 500m/s instantly. My best orbit so far: [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17216535/screengrab_20111016210546.png[/IMG] I had 3 full liquid fuel tanks left at the moment but accidentally pressed spacebar, ditching them :(

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;32815733]I love how easy it is now to halt rotational motion. Just have RCS activated and tap f.[/QUOTE] Thats SAS control, not RCS.

[QUOTE=MC3craze;32815851]Thats SAS control, not RCS.[/QUOTE] It uses the RCS if you have an Advanced SAS module though.

[QUOTE=LarparNar;32815881]It uses the RCS if you have an Advanced SAS module though.[/QUOTE] Even then, the CP has its own counter rotational SAS.

Anyways. Can't wait for the moon. Since it has no atmosphere you can orbit really low, so that will be a fun challenge I guess.

I'm more excited about trying 20m orbits.

[QUOTE=LarparNar;32813385][hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bHkZ4mHhDU[/hd] What you guys whinin' about.[/QUOTE] Well, it [I]is[/I] an orbit, but you have no fuel for deorbit! Some solid boosters could remedy that though.

[QUOTE=ChristopherB;32816404]Well, it [I]is[/I] an orbit, but you have no fuel for deorbit! Some solid boosters could remedy that though.[/QUOTE] I deorbited later using the RCS.
