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

What's the current record on distance from Kearth? I'm at 12,000KM out having finally built a decent rocket.

305,000 km then game crashes. Atleast for me.

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;31042695]well I don't know the record but [img]http://imgkk.com/i/gsm0.png[/img] I got you beat at least[/QUOTE] That can't be vanilla.

I made some big ugly wings. [img]http://i.imgur.com/m9He6.jpg[/img] Tomorrow I'll try to make some nice ones.

[QUOTE=ASmellyOgre;31042712]That can't be vanilla.[/QUOTE] I used some shit out of the extra parts package but other than that yeah it's vanilla just get it going really fast, from there it's not too bad, just have to keep control, and really a sas module can do that for you I want to see what happens after 999,999k

I managed to get to pretty much 150k (I actually didn't quite make it because I decelerated a bit too soon, arch is barely 100m under target) and back alive with a rocket I made. This game is AWESOME. Tomorrow I'm totally strapping LOADS of boosters onto one huge tower of fuel tanks with an engine to get the fuel and engine as high as I can to get as high as I can :D

My shit is unmodded.

by the way after 999,999k it rolls over back to 1k

Do you guys think you could whip up a quick tutorial or offer up some tips on creating a successful, good-looking multistaged rocket? I have the added parts, but I can't seem to manage to work out how to make a multistage!

Are you not able to land on slopes like mountains and stuff? I just managed to get to the other side of the planet for the first time, but everyone exploded when I landed on the side of a mountain. I was only going down at 12 m/s. I don't think that's fast enough to explode is it?

Try crashing your car at a wall at 26.84 miles per hour or 43.2 kilometers per hour (around 12 meters per second). See if it'll asplode. Side note, how do indie devs become part of steam? I really want "Kerbal Space Program" to join them. I wanna pay these devs, but through steam. Disregard that, I found it. Hey HarvesteR, try this...

I called it............THE PENCIL!

I tried to achieve orbit but only managed to sling-shot around the planet was going 3km/s at 2500km before i quit oops

If I put those fuel tanks and the rockets that need fuel on a that 3 slots thing, it won't launch. I'm assuming there's too much force or something? Because if it's just 1, it launches fine.

This game reminds me of that Nvidia tech demo. Oh God, Having a space elevator launching strip would be so awesome!

nobody likes my giant rocket fins :(

Dear dev, Have you thought of making space stations somewhere in the future? Like having docking, and building of satellites. Would be even better if we could work with other players to make our very own Kerbal ISS. I know this is still very far from development, but I hope you guys would consider this. Thanks.

I made it to some ungodly height in this 9-stage monstrosity: [img]http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/6241/wowrq.jpg[/img] I had to go to bed mid-flight. The whole flight took 6 hours. The worst part is, I don't remember how high it went. I checked when I woke up, and it was some huge number of digits, in meters of course. Is there a way to speed up or slow down time? It would be useful for rockets like this.

Just hit 600k. That's a 400k improvement. [editline]edit[/editline] 700k, this one might go the full 1 million. 800k, vertical is at 10 900k, m/s is 2400 [editline]edit[/editline] [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/eoiNU.png[/img][/quote] 1 million. Next goal, 2 million.

My best at 1100k with a super simple rocket. No SAS or any other modules besides the detachment things. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12150594/Other/KSP%202011-07-11%2003-56-41-14.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12150594/Other/KSP%202011-07-11%2003-57-29-76.jpg[/img]
