[QUOTE=Armotekma;31086684]Why do you have fuel tanks ontop of solid fuel boosters[/QUOTE]
I just downloaded the game, I'm not intending to actually goto space, yet.
[QUOTE=sltungle;31086820]Oh fuck. I just downloaded it today but looking at a lot of these recent pics I must have downloaded an older version.
Fuck.[/QUOTE]
No no, there are mods. Lot of new parts
This new update is amazing! I finally brought my astronauts back home safe after a successful orbit!
I did a retrograde burn shortly before I took the first screenshot. I believe I've set the record for the most accurate re-entry! :dance:
I did it all with vanilla parts too!

Asshole
I hate you!
Made it to 2,321,000 meters my most successful flight. Took forever to get it to work right.

How the hell are you supposed to use the lateral couplers in the sunday punch addons?
I originally thought you'd stack them into the same area, but apparently that just makes them explode.

Unless you want to stay on the ground, just remove the fuel tanks.
You cant use liquid fuel on solid fuel engines.

what's most interesting, is that ive been out of fuel for the past two hours, but i keep accelerating at about half a meter a minute.

here's a side view of the ship, it's at stage 2 out of 3. all that's left is to detach the capsule.

You dont really decelerate that much that far out
I tried making a sort of space plane.

No sound. Can anyone recommend a good screen recording program?
I hope they add manned ICBM missions next.
[QUOTE=Pelf;31087697]No sound. Can anyone recommend a good screen recording program?[/QUOTE]
Fraps.
Just managed to get up to 100000 in about 10 minutes using completely vanilla parts, and it's still climbing up.
[QUOTE=Lazore;31087690]You dont really decelerate that much that far out[/QUOTE]
i get this. why am i still accelerating though.
How do I do the symmetry?

[del]All my posts are back? Fuck yea![/del] nvm just fast threads.
How do I stop solid rocket boosters from overheating?
Have some space between them and have nothing under ignited rockets
I thought this looked kind of cool:

I made a huuuuuuuuuge elliptical orbit, perigee 150,000m, apogee 2100k.
[editline]13th July 2011[/editline]
is it possible to use the orbit as a slingshot and go ridiculously fast?
Where can I download those spherical fuel tanks?
I ragequit after I made an insanely large rocket with 15 custom stages, then found that I had saved over it with the stages reset to default. Now when I press space it just detonates.
There should be like missions to get to certain points outside kerth, like within a few thousand meters.
So we have to create special rockets to get to those places easiest
What is Kearth's moon going to be called?
The Koon? The Kmoon? The Mook..... Wait...
The Mern!
How about Kuna? As in Luna.
[QUOTE=wootmonster;31088405]How about Kuna? As in Luna.[/QUOTE]
Kuna? From that old, dead Kearthian language, Katin? Yes. That's a great idea.
Going to try seriously now that the symmetry mode is in. It was too much of a pain in the ass before to get everything setup right.
[editline]13th July 2011[/editline]
you monster, you killed jeb
Symmetry mode seems to make building harder for me, it keeps screwing up and getting parts stuck on my mouse cursor or whatever :v:
