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

I feel so bad when I forget to add a parachute to my little dude's spacepod. Seeing them plummet towards earth at a few hundred miles an hour is sad :(

[QUOTE=Esrange;31111590]I feel so bad when I forget to add a parachute to my little dude's spacepod. Seeing them plummet towards earth at a few hundred miles an hour is sad :([/QUOTE] FYI everything is is METERS. Not MILES.

[QUOTE=Goz3rr;31111706]FYI everything is is METERS. Not MILES.[/QUOTE] like it should be

[QUOTE=Goz3rr;31111706]FYI everything is is METERS. Not MILES.[/QUOTE] And METERS per SECOND not MILES per HOUR. Makes a big difference.

Everything seems pretty damn slow, but think about this. 100m/s is 360km/h That's pretty damn fast. When some people are breaking 2000m/s at the end of their thrust, they're going at 7200km/h Shit's fast.

This should be part of the final soundtrack for this game: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrDSJQSxw14[/media]

I keep on getting this bug where the first booster on my craft is stuck in the floor of the launch pad meaning the only way for me to get liftoff is by having a dumby thruster at the bottom that has to be jettisoned at launch. Getting on my tits. Also a shame that I am so bad a designing rockets that the ones I do make end up spinning madly out of control after a while.

Should i make a RAR with music that suits the game?

Also you can make pretty much anything fly with enough SAS modules, just keep stacking them on until the ship can't lift itself anymore then take a few off.

Oh well. As for the SAS modules I have been putting them on in moderation but I think my next test should be a massive overuse of them to see how much it helps.

Gives enough room for you to get off the ground.

[QUOTE=jordguitar;31112573]Put a coupler on the bottom and decouple then launch. Gives enough room for you to get off the ground.[/QUOTE] That's pretty much what I have to do, it's quite spectacular though as it usually explodes as I lift off.

Also sense this thread is moving quickly we need to start coming up with names for the next one. Kerbal Space Program or "How I killed 76.8% of NASA's Astronauts."

[QUOTE=HellBring;31111303]And flight control is speaking in some sort of kerbalese.[/QUOTE] I've been tempted to something like that, It would be awesome to make up a language. and songs such as "rocket man" in Kerbalese for when you've reached past like 10 mins in space. [editline]14th July 2011[/editline] Also I noticed a bug where the characters were not rendering properly.

Kerbal Space Program V2: Retardation Outbreak [editline]14th July 2011[/editline] Not calling you retarded, guys, I'm saying Jebediah's grin is contagious.

Can't make a proper spinning spaceship. The launch tower is always on my way. Edit: Never mind. I found a workaround.

I want to vaporize, when I'm falling to fast and in a wrong angle.

Thrust: 30 Fuel Usage: 2 Sounds good for an ion thruster?

[QUOTE=Wavenarra;31113373]Thrust: 30 Fuel Usage: 2 Sounds good for an ion thruster?[/QUOTE] Can you put it in perspective? What are some of the stats from other engines.

[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/oohnooo.png[/img] Not losing speed since quite some time... I think I'm stranded in space.

[QUOTE=SteelReal;31113522]Can you put it in perspective? What are some of the stats from other engines.[/QUOTE] Medium SRB: thrust = 250 fuelConsumption = 10 Vanilla SRB: thrust = 130 fuelConsumption = 4 Liquid Engine: maxThrust = 200 fuelConsumption = 8 The Ion Thruster would be entirely for use in space - to accelerate you to decent speeds over a long distance without using too much fuel.

I move that we try to donate some money to these guys, we all sit here and play an awesome game for free and we probably want more updates like be able to land on the moon etc ! Anyone got a link so i can lead by example !

It seems I can't pass 5000m :v: [editline]14th July 2011[/editline] Theyre falling to their death, but Jebediah doesn'nt seem to be able to stop smiling :v:
