Kerbal Space Program thread
pic related, my Mun base so far
Get on my level.
Got this thing into a Duna orbit using a Xenon engine from the Near Future mod
Is the full version worth the money?
>>741014487
If you are a fan of space travel, absolutely.
Speaking of Duna
God I love the visuals in this game.
>>741014608
I still haven't experimented with space planes. any tips?
>tfw you've never made it out of orbit
>>741014709
Perfect symmetry is important, try to get the center of lift and center of mass around the same spot. Try to keep fuel tanks near the center of mass. Practice with a two stage rocket boosted spaceplane, and go as minimalist as you possibly can. Will upload pics of a couple of my more successful ones.
Barely any kessler syndrome here. What's it like for you guys?
>>741014607
It's just that $40 seems kinda steep for something thst has no storyline/plot.
>>741014918
I clean up my debris and build minimalist eco friendly rockets with returnable boosters.
>>741014905
What do you use once you get out of the atmosphere and can't rely on air intake?
>>741015048
Hi Elon Musk
>>741015097
Lol
>>741015049
Use the Rapier engine, it's convertable. Or drop your air breathing engines and switch to a regular LF rocket.
>>741015022
I'd look at it more as a simulator than a game. You'll spend so much time trying to achieve your own goals that you'll forget that there is no plot.
>>741015022
>utorrent
>pirate bay
>>741015202
so something like this
>>741015613
I'm proud of how many things you fucked up on that rocket, literally no part of it is functional.
>>741015613
>>741015750
made a few adjustments
How do i into this game?
I've tried to play it countlyess times over the years and i end up putting together some random parts that dont work,and flying 100ft
>>741016022
so far so good
>>741016177
look up a dude on youtube named Scott Manley. He has the best tutorials around. watch his stuff and you'll be building working shit fast
>>741016210
uh oh
>>741016314
looks like Corley is going to be alright though
And done.
>>741017653
How he fuck do you get geosync?
One of my mods is making my cockpit flash colors and I don't know which.Also have a huge amount of fuel left, which is nice.
>>741017715
You look up the altitude that you need to be above kerbin to be synched up, you put a ship there in a perfectly circular orbit. Or get Mechjeb and do that.
About to send this behemoth into orbit as the start of my station
>>741015022
Try it and if you like buy it

Godspeed. Remember the support struts.
>>741018294
Look up CKAN, it's a decent mod manager.
good picture to show how small we kerbals truly are
>>741018382
that's one sleek fucking plane my dude
Why not
>>741018599
>>741018502
It's gone through a lot of iterations. Also here's a sputnik.
someone make a soyuz
alright, time to start bringing more shit up
Oops
heres my awesome space plane
>>741019508
Too big.
Fugg :DDD

>>741019757
jeb probably would've survived even without the chutes
>>741014454
What the big solar panels?
>>741019802
>>741019857
forgot image
>>741019983
some wide shots
>>741019828
Radiators for cooling down the nuclear reactor. Thing gets hot
>>741019983
dank
>>741020185
nvm the other wide images are too big filesize. thats all i got.
>>741015022
40? I got it for MAX 20... Probably cheaper...
I have like 50h on my steam account but I didn't even reached mun.
I think I don't have enough patience and time to reach something in this game.
feels fucking bad.
>>741021136
Once I was able to lift off with a teacup I made.
Its something I guess
>>741021136
what are you struggling with?
>>741021457
I keep failing to follow the maneuver nodes somehow or I'm bad at setting them up. No idea.
>>741022098
look up a mod called MechJeb. It will make things so much easier. It's one of the most popular mods. There is also a mod manager called CKAN that simplifies everything
>>741014014
Is this only for pc? I've seen this played and I need it badly. Jebediah Kermin is the best. He got stranded on the Mun but we did eventually get him back. I want to build a space colony.
>>741022304
Found MechJeb.
https://mods.curse.com/ksp-mods/kerbal/220221-mechjeb
It looks pretty complicated but I'll check it out when I have some time for a session of KSP. Thank you.
But I can't find the CKAN thing...
>>741022676
it has a windows and linux build
it also has an xbox build in development
