You posted a good game. Make a SSTO that can land, refuel and take off from any planet (with the exception of Eve, Jool and Tylo). Then use it to visit all the planets in a single launch without wasting any parts. That should consume some of your time.

By excess fuel I mean that if I use more of it to slow to a landing I will have nothing to get back with.

Needing some good online FPS action? I really like Payday 2 now that the Devs have been replaced and the game received a good round of updates, just be sure to get the GOTY edition on sale. But one of the best experiences I've had all year was on Rainbow Six Siege, it's just so addictive and well designed for team play.

Space Engineers for your creative interests and playing with friends makes it soo good.

Scrolling adventure games don't normally interest me, but Ori and the Blind Forest is so good and worth a play.

Cities XL series for City Builders or ANNO series

If you like fun cheap castle sim/RTS style games the Stronghold series is awesome and the classic Majesty

For new Blockbuster games I really enjoyed XCOM 2, the new Tomb Radier games are just amazing and for shooters, the new Doom was very satisfying and the PVP is good.

Those games have kept me busy after work for a couple months now.

Always take off towards the sea at the same angle the runway is poiting at. It's the line with the number 90 on it. When you reach orbit you should be in the same plane. Also, I don't recommend using stages that burn only solid rockets because you cannot steer. I actually never use them anymore. Their only good side is that they're cheap.

>>718215792

Well, true. Hammers have ridiculous TWR twoards the end of their burn but I kinda got used to the controlable liquid powered engines. As long as you have around 1,5 times the thrust at launch as mass*g you should be okay. The picture I posted earlier is the first stage before dropping any parts.

I played this before science and career. I actually mostly play in sandbox and give myself goals. But the learning curve is steep and the game is unforgiving. By the time you start visiting other planets landing on the Mün will be routine. Once you manage to land on Eve and return the Kerbals home you know you've wasted a lot of time in it.
This is a picture from an old save before they reworked aerodynamics and made heating deadly (which made the game harder). I have to say that this game taught me more about orbital mechanics than any science show.

>>718215654
>So get into orbit around mun first?
yes
attempting to land on any body with a fly-by trajectory is almost impossible
at periapsis (closest approach) burn retrograde until your new periapsis is 20-25km
then wait until you hit periapsis again and again burn retrograde until both your periapsis and apoapsis (highest point of orbit) are 20-25km
the closer those two points are the better
then you want to burn retrograde until you are stationary above Mun (eyeballing it at this point works perfectly
while doing that you want to slowly rotate to a normal (or anti-normal, I get the two confused) attitude (down of the ship is pointing at Mun)
how fast is a matter of experience, you want to continue slowing your horizontal speed to 0 while adjusting to check your vertical speed
once your vertical speed is 0 in all directions (north, south, east, west) you want to be perfectly normal (or anti-normal)
after that you just occasionally feather the engines to keep your decent speed in landing range, 10-15m/s

>>718215995
>Even to get off the ground?
you want to balance wind resistance (drag) and thrust
at ignition you want to be going straight up
at ~10km you want to start turning east
as the atmosphere thins you want to put more thrust in horizontal velocity and less into vertical velocity
this will give you some momentum from the rotation of Kerbin, and reduce the amount of fuel needed to achieve orbit

on bodies with no atmosphere you want yo have as close to a horizontal launch as possible while still moving vertically enough to avoid terrain obstacles (ie hills)

>>718218314
were you able to get off Eve?
the dense atmosphere killed every attempt I've made to leave

>>718219046
Yes, but it was before the aerodynamics were reworked so entry was easier. I don't have the picture of the actual lander, i just found a screenshot of what actually made it into orbit. The original lander was way over 100 tons. Also don't try to land the whole ship. I left the mothership with nuclear engines in orbit just above the atmosphere, undocked the lander and took it down. Then when I made it back I flew back the the ship, moved the kerbal into it and left the lander there in orbit. Just like the Apollo program.

I'd recommend learning how to do orbital rendezvous and docking. It will save you from using unnecessary fuel by landing the whole craft on a surface.

if you are in rpgs, try WoW or if u prefer singles Darkest Dungeon

>>718222071
Do I have to unlock anything to dock? Im sure I can rendezvous, but I don't know if there is a special tool I need to have to dock. Docking is used for what, also? Also, what is the purpose of the space crafts? What is the need to fly suborbital?

Im the anon who has been asking all the questions about KSP, but in response to >>718222209
I would also suggest FFXIV, it is a final fantasy game, but it is also an mmorpg with bossing and dungeons and I rather enjoy the mechanics. The game has a simpler aspect to it, but a much higher skill cap.

>>718222316
You just need to unlock docking ports in the tech tree and switch to RCS thrusters once you've killed your relative speed with your target.
Also be sure to use the same size docking ports on your target. A small docking port won't connect with a big one.

When you dock with an object, the game interprets the result as a single craft. This means that electricity, thrusters, rockets, crew, are now shared.

Okay, so what I do in order to reach other planets is get my 3 stage ship into orbit, the first stage being the one that gets the ship into orbit. This ship will have a docking port on it as well as the last two stages, the 2nd stage being the one that I use to power myself to the natural satellite that I wish to reach and the final stage being the one that I use to leave that satellite. And then in a second ship I fill it with fuel, five it RCS thrusters and a docking port that will fit the other one, and I put that into orbit and then match them up, correct? But how to I refill the second stage if it is already full of fuel?

>>718223245
OH, since I will use liquid fuel to get into orbit, I can refill those instead of just dumping the first stage as I get into orbit?

A calculator is insanely helpful in this game. I calculate the delta-v capabilites of my rockets and compare them to the delta-v map. Some people use mods to do that but I prefer to keep it pure. Also, reverting flights isn't pussy shit. I admire people who learn ksp in career mode.
Also, this anon speaks the truth >>718222071
What is also interesting is how much this game teaches you. When I got into spaceplanes I could never design something that wouldn't flip till I read the wikipedia article on aerodynamic stability. I learned the hard way just how important a tail is for a spaceplane.

>>718221038

Is there a way to make more bases on other planets? How am I supposed to use the landing feet thing when it doesnt reach the ground from the place where my kerbonauts are. Also, is there a benefit to making something similar to the ISS where I can refuel halfway between missions? My brain is pumping with ideas now, this game is incredible. I was beginning to get bored but there is so much more that I have to understand!

I only refuel in low Kerbin orbit if I'm planning a big crewed mission to the Jool system or Eeloo. I mainly use the docking and refuel mechanic for manned missions to the Mun or Duna. I send a craft to the surface with only enough fuel to land and return to orbit.

Once I rendezvous with the orbiting ship I transfer crew, science and any remaining fuel and ditch the capsule in orbit.

>>718223779

I'd recommend making a refuel/research station on the Mun or Minmus. Putting a huge fuel tug into orbit around one of the Moons is easy as pie.

>>718223593
when setting up a rendezvous get your target ship into as circular an orbit as possible
then get your maneuvering ship into a similar orbit
if the target ship is behind the maneuvering ship, decrease the maneuvering ship's periapsis
it the target is ahead, increase the maneuvering's apoapsis
the bigger the difference, the faster the ships will rendezvous, and the more energy will be needed to match speeds
once the maneuvering ship is within ~2km of the target, return it to a similar orbit (match periapsis and apoapsis)
then switch to RCS thrusters
keep the relative velocity below 100m/s
once you get to ~100m reduce relative velocity to ~2m/s
line up the docking ports
make contact at <2m/s
faster and you will fuck up both ships

>>718223923
So you send a ship that will stay there and that ship has all of the people on it and enough fuel to get there and to land there and then to get back into that planets orbit, and then once you have researched completely, you send a second ship with enough fuel and space to catch the first ship in orbit, at which point you transfer them all to the second ship and gravity turn the second ship all the way back to kerbin? Am i understanding that correctly?

You cannot make bases where you would spawn your rockets. At least not yet. Only the space center on Kerbin launches rockets. Refueling stations are very useful, on the old save I put 100 ton refueling stations in orbits of some planets and if I realsied I didn't have enough fuel to get home I would just dock with it. Or when I wanted to visit more planets like all the moons of Jool. It's a low res pic but it's a ship docked with a station at Moho

Ill make one if this one gets deleted, how about that? This shit is interesting as fuck.
>>718225737
Good luck, anon.

Just a general question, is there a purpose to getting close to the sun in order to gain more science? Should I do that after I have successfully landed on other planets or is it easier?

>>718225855
you can use jets to explore the biomes of Kerbal and one of the Joolian moons
grind up that science

they can also be used as a first "stage" for a space plane
>fly east
>use lift to gain altitude
>when air breathers are about to cut out, turn them off and turn on the rockets
requires a lot more skill than a traditional rocket launch
but once you get the design and transition down it is very efficient

>>718226147
you should really pirate it, its fun if only for making ridiculous things that explode. once you get into it you will feel accomplished.

I think he meant it like they did it in the apollo program. They flew to the moon attached together. Then only the thing with the legs landed on the moon. The other rocket stayed in orbit with one astronaut in it. When they returned they docked back together, the two astrounats moved themselves and all the moon rocks into the cylindrical ship and they left the lander in orbit and only flew that ship back.

>>718226147
dude op here, am retard. you can do it

they come with prebuilt rockets too so you don't really have to do much at first

>>718226257
>it is very efficient
especially for getting low mass cargo (ie kerbals) into orbit

>>718226152
I've never bothered with sun missions but that actually sounds like an easy way to get science, but it would have a very high Dv requirement.

Shit, I never thought to research the biomes on Kerbal.

I suggest playing with the mod rso, aka resource spawner overhaul. It's the most popular mod that rebalances how resources spawn to encourage the use of trains.

>>718226571
don't bother unless you are bored or fucked up bad and need cheep science
you get very little science
and it is almost always easier to do this >>718226623

>>718226623
I can never get probes off the ground, granted the only probe I have right now is the first one without sas and it seems to crash every single time.

walk north from the launch center to find your first one

It's really hard, but with the rapier engines you can make a plane that can get to Minmus in a single stage, refuel with a drill and Convert-o-tron and fly anywhere.

200hrs played and still so god damned addicted

Spaaaccceee engineeeeerrsss

>>718226814
sounds like you aren't making darts
an aerodynamically stable rocket has as much weight as possible at the nose and all the drag (ie winglets) at the rear

So then right now my first step is to unlock the docking port so that I can refuel my ship. Even if I get enough science from it to shoot past the mun, I want to land on it first so that I can figure out how to. If I want to do like the apollo mission (if there is a better way let me know) I have to tidally lock the orbiter before I send the probe with the kerbonauts down to the natural satellite, correct? Also, if any of these terms are being used incorrectly, call me a faggot and tell me what to use because Im a music student drop out going into culinary arts, but I've always been the best at math. Even with top math scores my terminology is pretty shit.
>>718227162

>>718227162
I meant to add on to this in response to yours. How do I add more weight to the top and how to I retrieve the probe?

>>718227048
>>718227138
really?

im between this and factorio

>>718227479
if you want to do apollo style just make sure the orbital craft is in a stable even orbit

(dont say tidally locked)

>>718227162
Also, do I only need to get the prob out of the soi (past mun, right?) in order for it to get picked up by kerbol? and even then will it mean that the probe flies directly into kerbol or will the orbital velocity from the movement of kerbal when i launched off of it make it so that it loops back around?

>>718227737
So do I want it to be directly about where the probe is or can it be actively orbiting with an orbital velocity >0? Once again, please correct any terminology that I fuck up.

Dreadnought is a great f2p. It's in closed or open beta right now. I haven't touched it since alpha so I have no idea.

just deployed my chute too late on my first flight and slammed into the ground at 80m/s and SOMEHOW i survived. the four outer SRBs did not, however.
fuck this 2mb limit stupid chink moot


>>718228078
directly above where the probe lands? yeah, that would be easier to meet up with after you perform your landing. the orbital module needs to be actively orbiting otherwise it would just fall and hit the planet and be useless/blow up. The thing is that yo have to take off from the surface in time to rendezvous with the orbital module.

it HAS to be actively orbiting

>>718227895
past minmus a ways is the exit of kerbins SOI

it will not fly into the sun it will have basically the same orbit that kerbin does as long as you weren't going super duper fast. it should be incredible easy to get back to kerbin from solar orbit.
