Kerbal Space Program Kanuary Edition: von Braun ain't got nothing on this v2! - Games

[QUOTE=Saxon;34232552]My first working Lander was a huge success today I just landed on the Mun for the first time a few hours ago. After I landed I decided to use my RCS thrusters to power my lander and explore the Mun. I quickly forgot what the RCS controls were and spun out of control and managed to land on one peg and then fall on my side. I said fuck it and jammed full throttle and turned my lander to a hill. My lander moving 60 M/S and being slammed into the ground (a feat which causes most to blow up in 2 seconds) hit a small bump which tore off my parachute and my main RCS tanks then a few seconds later the lander reached the top of the hill and gained altitude. My original plan was to use the decent booster and what fuel was left to maneuver towards Kearth and using my RCS thrusters to assist me were I would then be using the Parachute with the RCS to land with the lander full intact. Instead I used what was left of my RCS and some of my descent booster to get a shitty trajectory that had me flying through Kearth's atmosphere at 3,000 m/s straight into the ground. Somehow my lander's engine with about a maximum thrust rating of 12 and about 1/5 of its fuel left combined with my auxiliary RCS fuel tank that was almost empty slowed it down were I was then able to use what I had left to land. Best ship I ever made[/QUOTE] I was listening to the Sunshine soundtrack while reading this. So epic. (jump to 1 minute or so) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQXVzg2PiZw[/media]

Man I just got back into this. So what are the addon pack recommendations?

Anyone else having troubles posting on the forums? I'm trying to post my Munar-adventure story, and keep getting a '500 Internal Server Error'

But yes, Datsun, I highly recommend the Down Under pack.

Just donated 100 bucks to Squad. So since I pre-ordered the game on two separate occasions, plus that donation, I bought the game 16.28 times. (Unless I failed math in high school)

Bought the game. Also extracted the remaining failcan parts into my parts folder, updated my probodobodyne parts, and got a hold of that node part. Good times ahead!

[QUOTE=Dacheet;34234132]Radical.[/QUOTE] Word. [editline]15th January 2012[/editline] Also more cool stuff: [url]http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=5896.0[/url] Bringin out the bright side of the forums

I am not sure why flying this thing seems cool to me. but it does... [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1417259/kerbal/temps/screenshot8.png[/IMG]

I love how the Durgun pressure vessel is just hanging off the side. :v:

well those rings are mounting points for stuff. I am not sure how to progress lol. collision boxes will be making things quite proprietary. which i dislike :/

I hate how annoying the Vanguard is to fly in.

Man, the game is getting sexier and sexier. However, I can't help but feel that the fan-base is submitting more content than the development team has, or it at least doesn't feel like it's being officially integrated. [editline]16th January 2012[/editline] Also 5,000 posts, fuck yes.

I remember when this was first shown it was a buggy but functional rocket building and launch program, where everything had a tendency to explode. A few months later it's become this amazingly successful program, it's incredible!

This is a pretty fun vehicle to fly [url]http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=4325.0[/url] Kinda cheap and makes getting into orbit or to the Mun really easy.

Made my first interlunar ship! It clearly can reach, now to land and go back.

[QUOTE=Rapist;34241557]Made my first interlunar ship! It clearly can reach, now to land and go back.[/QUOTE] Start the braking burn early, or you'll crash.

Well, made it to the Mun in [b]THIS![/b] [img]http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n315/Gubru/2012-01-16_00001.jpg[/img] All liquid fuel boosters, all from the Down Under pack. It literally took me [b]hours[/b] tweaking and fine-tuning before the rocket actually worked and was reliable. I can get into 40km atmosphere before ditching the main stage. So it carries a lot of fuel for fail-safe situations. It also uses drop tanks to feed the main stage. I <3 fuel lines, now that they make much more sense after the latest update.

I've done this quite a few times, but never made it back to Kerbol save for my last adventure [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1152073?p=34222309&viewfull=1#post34222309]on page 17.[/url] However, I had a lot of fuel for my return trip, so I gave it a shot... maybe I could get lucky twice! ...Long story short: I messed up my return trajectory and ended up orbiting the Sun. I didn't give up, however -- I had two entire stages left to chase Kerbol. I intersected the planet, and got caught in it's gravity well. Unfortunately I was down to my capsule and it's landing thrusters... so I couldn't return home. :( NEXT TIME! :D

Because getting to the Mun isn't really my thing just yet I'm going to start building satellites and get them in orbit [url]http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=3891.0[/url] This makes me happy.

I wish there were more parts like that.
