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

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;31064264]at 70KM you'd need to go over 3175m/s[/QUOTE] Oh, that's quite fast. Where can you find this information?

Also, dev, have you thought of having cameras as parts to add onto the ship? This way, we could view it from different viewpoints.

[QUOTE=jetboy;31063802]Will there be a way to add/remove stages without the use of a decoupler? It'd be cool to activate certain engines at different times.[/QUOTE] Big thrusters , basically an engine that does the exact same thing as using q/e , w/s a/d but more powerful.

Is it okay if I repost my huge fin for huge rockets? I don't think anyone saw it at all 25 pages ago. :(

Feel free to edit the values (not that I could stop you if you wanted to, but now you don't have to feel guilty for doing it)[/QUOTE]

True, but fi i put it lower, like it really is, ont he fuel tanks, when i eject them, shuttle goes bye bye, wheras with how i've done it, you get a little bit of extra moving thrust to realign etc etc.

I've gone so far I can't even see earth anymore, This game is fucking awesome.

Why is my crew so happy. I am at 400km's in the sky, with no fuel what so ever, and I am falling towards the earth at almost a km per second.

[url]http://www.freefilehosting.net/shuttle[/url] My shuttle that i posted the pic of, due to the way it messed up stages, you may have to move the shuttle icon up (icon like the command capsule) but it up to the stage with the SAS's near the top and should work fine.

Everybody is posting how far they've went, but the real challenge is getting the furthest, returning back to earth with the smallest rocket.

Yeah, I got to about 2124k in 20 minutes and I was out of fuel, but still going 700m/s or so and I decided I would most likely never return to earth. So I called it quits and abandoned the mission.

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;31064554]you can drag the modules around and activate them whenever you want.

Still working on the shuttle setup so we can have some nice thrusting... [url=http://i.imgur.com/x8609.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/x8609l.jpg[/img][/url]

[QUOTE=Goz3rr;31064801]I always have 1 solid fuel engine below my command pod, to turn around or get away from failed stages.[/QUOTE] That's pretty smart, I would do it to my ship if I didn't have to completely start over.

@Devs: You said the pricing will start lower and gradually increase as the game nears completion; if I bought the game at a very early stage for the lower price, will I get all future updates and so on for free?

That escape tower is pretty useful, managed to save my crew from a disintegrating rocket. Only problem is that you have to eject all the other stages before you can fire it.

Where can I download that amazing shuttle. Sorry for asking. I'll take late and boxes for my mistake.
