Achievement Unlocked: Lowest Orbit In History! [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27714141/lowest_orbit_in_history.png[/img] It's still going. :tinfoil: [editline]19th November 2011[/editline] Actually, I think I'm going to try building a glider next. Challenge: only use solid boosters for take off, no engines are to be used after first separation. Longest distance wins.

[QUOTE=Dick Tracy;33337860][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Sh8jF.jpg[/IMG] Did I win?[/QUOTE] Not highest altitude.. longest distance. Hell, I've got more altitude than that with my glider. [editline]19th November 2011[/editline] And I used a single booster.

Well, off to make new rocket then!

[editline]19th November 2011[/editline] And I used a single booster.[/QUOTE] They still haven't fixed the glider exploit, so it's possible to make them glide for hours from a very low height. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RonlUf3T5ho[/media] example basically you just have turn symmetry up to 8 and add 24 to 32 wings, with as little extra weight as possible.

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;33336389]270 = same thing except going the other way.[/QUOTE] Yes, but because of Kerbin's rotation it's easier towards 90º, because you've already got orbital speed in that direction.

Maybe someone should make a UFO mod when this gets fixed. :v:

NovaSilisko already made one iirc. At least someone has.

[QUOTE=Chubbs;33341760]NovaSilisko already made one iirc. At least someone has.[/QUOTE] The one at the bottom of this pack? [URL]http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=2251.0[/URL] ?

Alright first try on covering the most distance: Ground Distance Covered : 8377 meters [editline]19th November 2011[/editline] Second try. Ground Distance Covered : 9263 meters [editline]19th November 2011[/editline] Third try. Ground Distance Covered : 12753 meters.

[QUOTE=voodooattack;33337886]Hell, I've got more altitude than that with my glider. [editline]19th November 2011[/editline] And I used a single booster.[/QUOTE] Considering the fact that most mod parts are OP.

[QUOTE=DrasarSalman;33342232]Considering the fact that most mod parts are OP.[/QUOTE] Not really, I generally avoid using overpowered parts/combinations, mainly because it takes out the fun. I love design based puzzle games because of the challenge.

[QUOTE=DrasarSalman;33342232]Considering the fact that most mod parts are OP.[/QUOTE] Not really. Only early on parts were generally overpowered. Now we have the IKAO values and the challenger pack.

So uh... What's happened here since Skyrim came out? I haven't been paying attention.

[QUOTE=LarparNar;33345518]So uh... What's happened here since Skyrim came out? I haven't been paying attention.[/QUOTE] Nothing really.

Fuck yes, harvester is working on fuel pipes.

YES! Now I can make my CEV have drop tanks!

gonna use those fuel lines a lot.

I can't wait! Droptanks and hoverfucks galore! [editline]19th November 2011[/editline] Also, does anyone know if HarvesteR has said anything about horizontal ship construction lately?

Uh, so.. What now? :v: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35477235/what/whatnow.png[/img]

Bring your Ap down to around 50 km, then burn retrograde to kill all movement. Then burn at the center of the orange half of the navball for about 5 seconds, this is so you start falling. Rotate around and begin landing stuff. basically keep it below 12 m/s, don't get too much drift.

Something like this? [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35477235/what/whatnow2.png[/img] [editline]20th November 2011[/editline] whoa what the hell just happened :v:

[QUOTE=Runar;33349732]Uh, so.. What now? :v: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35477235/what/whatnow.png[/img][/QUOTE] Burn retrograde at the periaplois and land on the mun

im doing it man im MAKING THIS HAPEN [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35477235/what/IMDOINGIT.png[/img] [editline]20th November 2011[/editline] FUCK [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35477235/what/FUCK.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Runar;33349935]im doing it man im MAKING THIS HAPEN [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35477235/what/IMDOINGIT.png[/img][/QUOTE] Make sure to hit the surface at high speeds and without slowing down.

you had too much drift, and came in way too hot

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;33350266]you had too much drift, and came in way too hot[/QUOTE] Just hover above the mun, and counteract any drift with RCS thrusters is what i do..

So, is it still okay for a completely new person to get into this game, it seems it takes a lot of learning to do anything.

[QUOTE=Eeshton;33352219]So, is it still okay for a completely new person to get into this game, it seems it takes a lot of learning to do anything.[/QUOTE] Just download it and play and follow the tutorials. Look up anything that you don't know if the tutorial did not teach you enough. Or ask us for help.
