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

Just got into my first orbit, and it's pretty decent, fairly small eccentricity. I'm recording a little timelapse of it, will post when I've edited + uploaded it. But first, I'm gonna try and land near the launch pad.

I almost got my first orbit, but I was facing too far up, it ended up just having me ascend in a circle around the planet, never went down. I was re-adjusting to try and fix it, when I accidentally detached the engine and fuel tanks. Oh well, guess I'll have to try again.

[QUOTE=Wickerman123;31178922]I somehow managed to lose the small fuel tank.. can someone post it up for me?[/QUOTE] [url]http://mod.gib.me/kerbal/mods/Sunday%20Punch/Sunday%20Punch%27s%20KSP%20parts%20v%201_06.zip[/url] its in this pack.

[QUOTE=jeimizu;31178344]I just realized you can open your.craft files in notepad and change rotation and such. Time to make some really nonsensical rockets.[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://gyazo.com/8b210d6fb149f7e07640e98d36bed9b4.png[/IMG]

[quote] even though there are currently only two engines it's the almost endless combinations possible that makes this so enjoyable to play[/quote] It is the almost endless combinations?

So after 3 hours I'm at 12045k and still travelling at around 694.6m/s. Think I might just stop it soon lol. [IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee309/Eroglik/Farfaraway.png[/IMG] Fuck it, that's far enough

install bomb mod then eh (so it's more like target practice than a simple rocket building game)

I have no idea how to build a not-explodey ship.

[QUOTE=XanaToast.;31155062]the warp engine is bullshit, it doesn't attach to the craft in any way what so ever[/QUOTE] Warp engine? Link?

A awesome addition would be communication blackout, if playing on realistic. Because you are supposedly mission control, losing telemetry and astronaut cameras would be kinda cool.

I really want a way to reinforce things by adding connecters on the inside of it.

This mod adds a decoupler with a fairing. Fits standard LFE. [url]http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=537.0[/url] This one adds side panels sized to Sunday Punch's 3 meter cones, and a quad parachute adapter. [url]http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=611.0[/url]

Anyone have a good re-entry tutorial?

[QUOTE=gta-man12345;31182138]Anyone have a good re-entry tutorial?[/QUOTE] I'd presume the simplest way is point towards the planet, fire rockets.

And thus, they decided to explore. Oh, this island looks nice. [img]http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/8817/kaustrailia.png[/img] A closer shot.

[QUOTE=Someone4956;31182336] I dub thee, Kaustrailia. :dance:[/QUOTE] Too bad you cant get little rovers out and drive around. Maybe after moons are added....

I can't fucking steer. Any tips?

[QUOTE=gta-man12345;31182138]Anyone have a good re-entry tutorial?[/QUOTE] Basically, spin your rocket around, until you have your art. horizon marker on the retrograde heading icon(the green one with the lines inside the circle) and burn.

[QUOTE=Cmx;31182370]Too bad you cant get little rovers out and drive around. Maybe after moons are added....[/QUOTE] The main module is light enough to where I can roll around and move. :v:

[QUOTE=Someone4956;31182402]The main module is light enough to where I can roll around and move. :v:[/QUOTE] I never thought of that... Time to roll around the planet for a while!

Made a video of orbiting a satellite module. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK2A1u4Fdok[/media]

[QUOTE=Wickerman123;31183453]What is the point in the space station parts? Is it just to add a bit of challenge? Rated winner though :downs:[/QUOTE] ATM only challenge, but docking in space stations is planned. Also its awesome :downs:

Considering how much this thread has grown in a week, I've decided to download this. Now, time to see what all the fuss is about...
