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

My most successful rocket, I call it the Javelin I. Friend and I designed it. We cut the amount of fuel from the Fatboys in half because it was ridiculous. Have achieved numerous orbits with great ease [IMG]http://gyazo.com/e4970b1a5fe66bf3e247d11468e55e71.png[/IMG] also, how to orbit: get to 15km, start pitching slowly to gain speed (you need 2000m/s+ to orbit at 40-45km) and you should be level at around 40. make your vert speed 0 by firing your orbiter's engine in various directions (fire it backwards to decelerate and lose altitude, speed up to gain altitude) or just fire it up and down. orbiting = 0 vert speed, 2300 m/s is ideal at 45km. the higher you orbit the slower you have to be going

[QUOTE=Saza;31083575]I couldn't really tell - I'll go with wishful thinking, and it probably was a nice arc. It was a very short "arc" or "orbit".[/QUOTE] Keep in mind [quote] 0 km, Vcirc = 2425.56 m/s, Tcirc = 25.90 min, Vesc = 3430.27 m/s[/quote] Have fun getting that with air resistance.

[QUOTE=dvc;31082914]Whats a good keyboard setup for this? I dont have a joystick.[/QUOTE] You won't need one. W and S control pitch, E and Q control the roll, A and D control yaw. Hold F or tap T for SAS. To the creator: Please add a way to strap stuff together so that the rocket holds steady instead of it wobbling about so much when I have 3 boosters going that are only connected at the top.

One time Jebediah was screaming and I knew shit was about to go down.

I DID IT, FINALLY A FULL ROTATION IN AN ORBIT TO WHERE I LIFTED OFF! [img]http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/6193/ksporbitsuccess.png[/img] there it is, that Africa-like continent... im so happy :') also, Jeb smiled the whole way

Maybe I'm just blind or stupid, but is there a way to turn off/lower the sound? I can't find.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/J6YRR.jpg[/t] Only Jeb could have that much fun.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osxpnwZ_U7Q[/media] loaded up an old rocket that used to work now it works perfectly~!

So, will the next update still be on the 18th, or are you postponing it since we released part of it early?

also that's the only time i've ever gotten Jeb to not smile

[QUOTE=Amplar;31083897]also that's the only time i've ever gotten Jeb to not smile[/QUOTE] Jeb will always freak out like the others if something explodes (nearby)

is that a black hole? you can see a few looking around space [img]http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/9358/blackholej.png[/img]

First time I've ever seen all three smiling. An odd time for it, but hey, I call that success. [t]http://i.imgur.com/iz2w0.jpg[/t]

[quote][img]http://gyazo.com/aa8f6d0bf66a48e62a7975d1f980402b.png[/img][/quote] I beat the game! 456 Kilometers, medium space orbit.

[QUOTE=Armotekma;31083975] [/QUOTE] And after that amazing launch, all 3 were smiling, not just Jeb.

I think the KSP site is being essentially DDOS'ed by all the traffic. Anyone got the url for the 0.8.2 mirror?

Oh god I wake up and see 0.8.2 is out. I love you harvester.

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;31080465]Also we need a working large decoupler (ie for the orange fuel tanks)[/QUOTE] There already is one.

I don't know why, but my record holding ship of 5180m/s doesn't work anymore with 0.8.1. here's a vid of it working: [video=youtube;cFU2H-m13po]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFU2H-m13po[/video] Right now the solid boosters of the 1st stage smack into the liquid tanks and cause the whole rocket to explode. [editline]13th July 2011[/editline] Managed to get it to work with a little change :dance:

[QUOTE=Inplabth;31083220]They need to do something about how easily the SRB's overheat.[/QUOTE] you could just increase the maximum heat in the cfg if it bothers you that much

Seemed to have stopped slowing down slightly so I must be totally free of gravity now. Deep space, ho! [IMG]http://www.myimg.us/images/07.13.11/19110.png[/IMG] Ship I used: [url]http://www.myimg.us/images/07.13.11/19111.png[/url]

Can't wait until a Moon is put in and we get to attempt landing on it, and returning to Kearth from it

[QUOTE=TheTalon;31085307]Can't wait until a Moon is put in and we get to attempt landing on it, and returning to Kearth from it[/QUOTE] fuck landing on it, I'm going to blow it up

how do i get a joystick to work with this game?

Ship I used: [URL]http://www.myimg.us/images/07.13.11/19111.png[/URL][/QUOTE] Yep, same here. Stopped decelerating completely and am just adrift in space. At 45000K right now, prolly gonna leave it running for a while and see how far it gets. [img]http://i53.tinypic.com/2uxzlzl.png[/img]

Fuel tanks.
