So this is what I've been using for my Mun missions lately, does the job perfectly (don't laugh) [t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13796438/images/craft1.jpg[/t] Also the texture on the lander base is kinda broken even though it shows up correctly in the parts menu, any idea why/how to fix it?

[t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13796438/images/c2.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] It's due to the fact the game no longer seems to support multiple collision meshes, which that had. I currently can think of no way to fix it apart from making legs as a separate part.
Winstonn commented about the legs becoming rowdy a couple pages ago. They are probably tirelessly working on a fix day and night as we speak.

Aerobraking mostly only reduces your Apoapsis. [I](Usually)[/I] The re-entry can be defined as aerobraking though, because it was still an orbit that was reduced by entering the atmosphere.
I keep crashing my Mun base into the surface. [B]GOD DAMNIT[/B]
YES! FINALLY! After literally WEEKS of trying, I have finally LANDED (crashed) on the Mun! I've been playing since 0.7, and have only ever managed to get rockets into orbit. THIS IS A FIRST FOR ME! It was a bit of an adventure... I started off by going in the exact opposite direction of the moon... eventually looped around and "caught up" with it. At that point I pointed my rocket right towards it and burnt through a good few stages of fuel... AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, MANAGED TO (sort of) ORBIT THE MOON! ...Right before "landing" on it.

[img]http://www.furstatic.com/lobo/randomcrap/KSPPictures/TOTHEMOON/21.jpg[/img] Hopefully the escape capsule has enough fuel left for a safe landing. Return trips be damned!!

If you actually got direct linking to SAE's images working, I want it.
Anyone know any database of ICBM/missiles blueprints/pictures? Tired of making satellites.

[QUOTE=LarparNar;33772517]Name them after what music you're currently listening to. Artist or song.[/QUOTE] Before i ran dead on the game, i named my rockets after their purpose "High Orbit Test Bed - [sequence]" Where the sequence is something like X, wich stands for eXperimental, that is when i am making prototype versions of the rocket i want, one my my launcher planes had the name "Composite Hauler Dennis X9" before i finally rolled out on stable versions, then it was after their adaption, such as when i went from single engine to twin engine it would be "Composite Hauler - TE2" or something like that. I had this plane that had a rear mount for either extra fuel, payload or an ASAS. Did i mention that stratoplane i once made that could fly around the world? It flied perfectly, it was enormous, i mean Jumbojet enormous. I kind of made my own little plane "company" never got around making a showcase, the 100+ craft files where lost in a HDD failure..
[QUOTE=DrasarSalman;33810262]fixed[/QUOTE] Many years ago the great British explorer Gurge Mullory, who was to die on Munt Everust, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, "Because it is there." Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the Mun and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set sail we ask God's blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which Kerbal has ever embarked.
I want docking and multiple craft. Oh and saving. Multiple craft also can be the beginning of multiplayer I think. [editline]20th December 2011[/editline] Imagine having life support, being able to create a self-sustainable space station...damn...
It seems that parachutes like to go up if they are ripped off anything when deployed before that object hits the ground [editline]20th December 2011[/editline] They will also lift anything up into orbit.
Offering to slap a Durgun logo someone else makes onto the capsule. Must be symmetrical :D no text.
