Me and Phoenix managed to launch our astronauts too far now they're not coming back.

Solid fuel boosters need to be in the form of a tank so you can contain both the fuel and oxidizer, and you also have to be able to control the two.
Not to mention the structural integrity of two chunks of crap that are being used as fuel is non-existant.
I don't think anyone has beaten my 122MM (122,000KM) yet.

Oh shit my rocket just turned into a ground-to-air missile.

You are now :v:

With my ship I hit 120K and then release my pod which then has too much velocity to be caught back in Earth's gravity.
So has anyone actually released custom content for this game?
Oh that makes this way too easy.
Just put a shitload of SAS everywhere.
About the simplest orbit capable craft I've been able to come up with. The first SFR's tend to overheat, but they are there just to help get off the ground initially.

I just figured to check how the quality on my stream is and it looked like shit.
Fixed it now, now it's 720p and it actually looks good.
It's about as exciting as watching paint dry though.
Any ideas?

put a decoupler between the bottom 6 SFR's.
The solid boosters have less thrust than the fuel ones. It's even that way in the config files.

Yeah but liquids have to lift their fuel.

Doesn't give enough thrust.
[QUOTE=Zombii;31024051]Yeah but liquids have to lift their fuel.[/QUOTE]
And there should be a indicator on weight of the objects in the next update.
[QUOTE=RayvenQ;31024076]Doesn't give enough thrust.[/QUOTE]
i thought putting 2 SFR's on top of one another would cause the bottom one to explode?
without a decoupler that is
It does, they overheat and the bottom ones explode, but they last long enough to get you up a bit.
fucking impossible
made a real simple rocket design and im on 700k so far
2300KM with 2775m/s
best so far for me.
cant wait for the symmetry update
This game is amazing. What a great little find. Can't wait for this to get more content. I've been up all night with a friend just fucking around and trying to get to the other side of the planet.
There's so much potential for this little game to explode into something huge. I'd love to see planet exploration and landing missions where you'd have to use a landing module and shit. This is like what I wanted Spore's space stage to be like.

Show simple design?
Oh shit, custom content is easy, I just have no idea what the hell to make.
oh fuck, messed with the thruster settings, I got up to such a high speed it increases speed by itself
oh god I turned on the parachute and it's still increasing HELP ME
[QUOTE=lockdown6;31023359]I don't know I'm not a rocket scientist[/QUOTE]
you are once you reach 1000km altitude
When this comes out, I'm going to fucking buy it. Also, how do you think multiplayer can be implemented in this game? Would be fun to race with your pal. Or work together to make a rocket! Or be one of those kerbals.
Can we get some coders and modellers and such to volunteer themselves to help with this , because this is an awesome game with some serious potential
