Any tips you'd like to share, or building models? My personal best is 110 000 meters high, but thats nothing compared to what I've seen

[QUOTE=ofap;31139850]Any tips you'd like to share, or building models? My personal best is 110 000 meters high, but thats nothing compared to what I've seen[/QUOTE] I've reached a point where my spaceship keeps around the same speed (1500M/s), it drops .1 M/s every 10 seconds or so and i was already at ~1500000 meter.

Those large sphere tanks are totally gamebreaking. I made an entire orbit with one, although I used a solid fuel booster to push me into space.

Where do you get the large sphere tanks?

[QUOTE=Codename 47;31140308]Where do you get the large sphere tanks?[/QUOTE] From the mods on the first post

[QUOTE=Codename 47;31140308]Where do you get the large sphere tanks?[/QUOTE] Don't get them they ruin the game

So I kinda overshot my orbit. [img]http://i.imgur.com/u9J4l.png[/img] Should I let them come back home or have them drift out into deep space?

[img]http://i.imgur.com/X1HDO.png[/img] Almost ready for release, one ion thruster.

Let 'em come back, contemplate whether to let them to survive the landing due to their failure, however.

[QUOTE=EragonRulez;31140756]Let 'em come back, contemplate whether to let them to survive the landing due to their failure, however.[/QUOTE] I tried to break, but the booster wasn't strong enough. :v: Now they are all drifting away from planet earth.

God damnit I hate hit when you just start going up instead of staying in orbit

Damn, I was trying to de-orbit but apparently I managed to come down to 38.8 KM, (almost?) scratching the top of the atmosphere, top of my orbit is about 159.5 KM.

Why does my capsule always blow up when landing after a long flight?

Just hit 220 000 high with two of those big fuel tanks, one of those huge engines and 6 normal boosters on the side. Any tips on getting higher?

well shit [img]http://i.imgur.com/Kwkd2.png[/img]

[QUOTE=gazzy_GUI;31141334]well shit [img]http://i.imgur.com/Kwkd2.png[/img][/QUOTE] How the hell do you guys get so high? I never get anywhere near those figured

[QUOTE=ofap;31141296]Just hit 220 000 high with two of those big fuel tanks, one of those huge engines and 6 normal boosters on the side. Any tips on getting higher?[/QUOTE] use the orange ball tanks.

[url]http://filesmelt.com/dl/ionengine.rar[/url] Download dat Ion Engine beetches. Becomes effective at around 30 - 50km up from the planet, anything lower and it doesn't have enough thrust to overcome Kearths gravity. Half my fuel gone, and travelling at 3500m/s. From one liquid fuel tank, that is.

[QUOTE=Bad)-(and;31141374]use the orange ball tanks.[/QUOTE] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that's cheating

I'm currently at 15 million metres, travelling at 9238.5 m/s and I haven't slowed down at all within the last 10 minutes

[QUOTE=MangoJuice;31141229]Why does my capsule always blow up when landing after a long flight?[/QUOTE] Anything landing on the dark side of kearth will explode.

[QUOTE=Wavenarra;31140737][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/X1HDO.png[/IMG] Almost ready for release, one ion thruster.[/QUOTE] doesn't really look like an ion thruster at all

[QUOTE=Instant Mix;31141794]doesn't really look like an ion thruster at all[/QUOTE] Artistic license because real life Ion Thrusters look like a square block with an exhaust hole.

[QUOTE=MangoJuice;31141229]Why does my capsule always blow up when landing after a long flight?[/QUOTE] If you have anything attached to your module and are using the vanilla parachute, you will go too fast to land safely. Try one of these parachutes. [url]http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=286.0[/url]

[QUOTE=Pelf;31142125]Try something like [url=http://www.bambam131.com/lewisclark/IonThruster1aaa.jpg]this[/url].[/QUOTE] That looks pretty awesome, wish I'd been shown that earlier. :v: Will get on it soon-ish.
