Which mods are essential for a newbie like me?

[QUOTE=MasterFen007;32890212]Which mods are essential for a newbie like me?[/QUOTE] You should try getting into orbit as a newbie at first, then it wouldn't feel like cheating. Also, mods make your loading time significantly longer.

I'm too fucking terrible at this to even get into orbit.

[QUOTE=Number-41;32890404]Numbers plz[/QUOTE] It was a degrading orbit by the second revolution, it started as A:52k, P:80k, then the Perigee went down and down untill it was perfect for one revolution or two, then it started dropping more.

68k is the atmosphere's ceiling. Get it a bit higher next time.

So, my moon rocket doen't quite work yet.. [img]http://localhostr.com/file/780/ih12qPS/screenshot61.png[/img] [img]http://localhostr.com/file/fq6uxOP/screenshot64.png[/img]

Scratch, I'll beat you to the moon in a rocket using only default parts!

[QUOTE=dije;32892779]That IS a rocket out of default parts :v:[/QUOTE] Then I'll do it faster than him! :v:

Don't fight kids, we all know I'll get there first.

All of us, at the same time.

Fixed my graphics problem by updating my drivers.

[QUOTE=HarvesteR]Well, as a final thing today, I set up a simple dynamic ambient light control system here, to make subtle changes to the ambient light depending on where you are. Now, shadows are much darker in a vacuum (or on the Mün for that matter), and the ambient light can vary from planet to planet also. That means we can have a reddish mood on a Mars-like planet, or a purple-ish hue on a planet like Eve. Note that I didn't set the vacuum ambient color to a full black, because that doesn't really yield very nice visuals... I set it to a darker tone, but the shadow side of things should still be somewhat visible. Well, that should be enough for today. The entire day I was under the impression (the conviction, actually) that today was Friday... turns out it's not... That means tomorrow I'll have time to finish up the engine gimballing, and next week I can get started on having the planets rotate (no promises at this point). Cheers[/QUOTE]

I was bored and wanted to stick some shit in orbit, so I got Slew's "Kubble" space telescope from here as my payload: [url]http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=3362.0[/url] The rocket was overkill, had enough fuel in the second stage to swing around the Mun and back, but who gives a fuck. [img]http://i.imgur.com/sOxuC.png[/img] My mission was to place the telescope in a circular 100km orbit, rendezvous with it twice and de-orbit vaguely near the pad. MECO, S-I seperation [img]http://i.imgur.com/TTOcP.jpg[/img] S-II ignition and LES tower jettison [img]http://i.imgur.com/S5ZqU.png[/img] Orbit wasn't quite circular if I'm honest, it was about 105km ap and 99 pe, but I couldn't be bothered to trim it so I dumped the S-II and deployed Kubble at 45 degrees [img]http://i.imgur.com/tHflv.png[/img] Rendezvous 1 and 2 [img]http://i.imgur.com/VJwRH.png[/img] "That'll do", the motto of my country applies here.

I really wish I was good at this game.

Every time I try to install the game I keep getting wierd errors in winrar.

Aaand My hard drive kapooted. Can't run KSP anymore, and it'd seem I need a new Barracuda 7200.8 for replacement parts to get my data back out. [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com//fp/emoot/saddowns.gif[/IMG]

playing this game while listening to Everything You Know Is Wrong by Weird Al. Because everything I know about modern rocketry can kiss my ass.

I am currently in an 86,000 KM orbit. I feel accomplished.
