[QUOTE=ofap;31141366]How the hell do you guys get so high? I never get anywhere near those figured[/QUOTE] Instead of flying straight, try to make a turn at 50 000-100 000 M and speed up to 2500-3000 M/s use the centrifugal force as a slingshot.

[QUOTE=Red scout?;31140693]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?[/QUOTE] Let them drift! Atleast Jeb doesn't look like hes against that idea.

[QUOTE=ofap;31141366]How the hell do you guys get so high? I never get anywhere near those figured[/QUOTE] SRBs to get initial force, then a few stages of liquid fuel. I can get 1000km in 6 stages. That's counting the decouplers, of course.

[QUOTE=theseltsamone;31143016]SRBs to get initial force, then a few stages of liquid fuel. I can get 1000km in 6 stages. That's counting the decouplers, of course.[/QUOTE] I can go 500,000k+ in 2 stages

[QUOTE=MadCatMkII;31143059]I can go 500,000k+ in 2 stages[/QUOTE] I could probably get there in 2 stages, but my rocket has an extra stage for corrections when getting into orbit.

Well, this is definitely my current best. [thumb]http://gyazo.com/35740181c6088c0b108981a11f8bf6a4.png[/thumb] That speed is stable and hasn't dropped for some time.

Am I the only one that doesn't find "I got X far," things impressive? I mean, once you hit a certain point you pretty much stop losing speed and how far you get is determined by how much time you're willing to spend just sitting there drifting.

[QUOTE=Jaanus;31136917]You can get my wings + bomb here: [url]http://www.jaanus.cc/files/wing+bomb.rar[/url][/QUOTE] Your wings are really awesome. I just got a plane going, not too far yet, but it's a start.

Ima make my own planetary ship with blackjack & hookers!

[QUOTE=EragonRulez;31143571]I think it's a 'I got x far with y speed.' thing?[/QUOTE] It should be I got x far in y time.

[QUOTE=SteelReal;31143739]It should be I got x far in y time.[/QUOTE] X far with y speed in z time? :v:

i find getting into an orbit more challenging then going striaght into space

[QUOTE=Cpn Crunch21;31143883]i find getting into an orbit more challenging then going striaght into space[/QUOTE] Well yeah, turning on SAS and going through all your stages is pretty easy compared to the amount of guesswork and fine tuning it takes to even get a shoddy orbit.

[QUOTE=Cpn Crunch21;31143883]i find getting into an orbit more challenging then going striaght into space[/QUOTE] Getting an orbit and then reentering to land is incredibly difficult for me. Gotta design a rocket that can get into orbit with an extra stage to spare for reentry.

[QUOTE=EragonRulez;31143790]X far with y speed in z time? :v:[/QUOTE] You can calculate the speed with the time and the distance.

We need at minimum another planet, but a sun and two planets would be awesome. Even if they we're basic it would be great to be able to try and land or orbit around other bodies.

I want this thing instead of the parachute [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e6/Pathfinder_Air_Bags_-_GPN-2000-000484.jpg/800px-Pathfinder_Air_Bags_-_GPN-2000-000484.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=MadCatMkII;31142663]And jeb knows best[/QUOTE] I don't think he really cares if he's going to die or not. As long as Jeb is in space, Jeb is happy.

best music for in space flight is Sunn O)))'s Mocking Solemnity

Why isn't the extra parts working for me? I dragged them to the parts folder and now my game is stuck on the loading screen. [editline]15th July 2011[/editline] Nevermind, working.

Wouldn't give you the same slowing down effect as a parachute on planets with gravity that's the same as earth or more, but would slow it down enough for planets with lower gravity that have an atmosphere.

i want moons, other planets and space rovers and shit
