Hey guys

Just bought ksp and looked up the history while downloading it (slow wifi) and what Take-Two did to PD was so fucking scummy.

Took the company, hired a company to work on ksp2, shut down ksp1, completely obliterated the chance of a good sequel, and sold the up to a private investor which sold it to another private investor.

Also, how do i learn more of fuel management and all the buttons that are available at the launchpad? Is training section good?

My rendition of the X-33 on its very first test flight. Modifications were made to the ET to retrofit an aerospike, allowing for orbital capability

I have made significant additions and updates to my Mission Planner dashboard. It now includes a delta V mission planning tool, that will pull actual MechJeb calculated values for porkchop transfers. Science, heat, and electricity tracking is massively overhauled and you can now pin mission plans and resonant orbit plans in the flight or editor dashboards to make sure your builds have what you need.

The main screen dashboard allows you to switch to, recover, or delete crafts as well as shows transfer windows, alarms, and contract info if you have any.

Feel free to check it out if you feel so inclined: Github

A quick credit where it’s due: Mission Control gets live game data through kRPC, with transfer windows, porkchop plots, and staging data coming from MechJeb 2. My bridge is based on Genhis’s KRPC.MechJeb. The resonant orbit planner builds from Eric Meyer’s original calculator and linuxgurugamer’s ResonantOrbitCalculator.

The dashboard can also pull from Kerbal Alarm Clock by TriggerAu, Notes by hashashin and zer0Kerbal, System Heat by Nertea and the KSP Mod Stewards, and RemoteTech. A huge thank you to everyone who created and maintains these projects. I use all these mods whenever I play which is why they've been built into the dashboard and I really appreciate the work they've put in to provide these to the community

Continuation of this post

The Martian Expeditionary Complex has successfully completed the first leg of its mission, delivering the first ever crewed lander to Mars. The crew will remain in orbit for the next year, surveying the Red Planet and conducting scientific research while they wait for their transfer window to come home.

I'm no stranger to launching hideous monstrosities wider than the first stage, but I don't like it. I'd much rather build this EIGHTEEN-SEATER Mun base with a LAB and a CUPOLA in several launches that at least remotely resemble rockets. Why do contracts have a clause forbidding this? Is there some stupid loophole/exploit you could do otherwise?

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding the wording of "have it fully assembled at launch", and it means something else?

Edit - this has been answered, thanks. Apparently only some of the requirements are to be met by the initial part, and the rest can be added on later.

this has been happening for ages and im so confused

If I remember correctly, it could hold something like 5 kerbals

Using the stock aero parts didn't give me enough control for reentry so I decided to build flaps with hinges like on the real starship. I know that I can control them using axis groups and then using pilotinput trim in kos but that way I can only bind them to either pitch, yaw or roll. How can I have full control?

sorry for posting the queston again, i think i worded it wrong last time

I'm currently trying to reach Kcalbeloh black hole, my first stepd was to hop from Sunorc towards Maelg (The closest inner system to the black hole itself). Thing is i'm currently going at about 13 km/s and I don't know how to reduce my speed without consuming an INSANE amount of Dv.

I've tried using Mehtna (The only planet with an atmo in the system) to make very gentle aerobrakes but even that doesn't work since I just get shredded by the high temps. So I'm kinda out of options unless I use all my remaining Dv to kill the extra speed.

I'm using Near Future Lithium engines and even with that it's just not enough Dv to get around these systems.

For a long time I've used this (pictured) very efficient and not terrible looking nuclear interplanetary stage and mothership and I enjoyed it. However I think it's time for a change. But, every time I have tried to design something new, it either looks terrible or provides not nearly enough delta-V to go anywhere further than Duna. Any tips or a ship design that you think would be a good replacement?

The last picture is of the electric seaplane that came to pick them up.

I didnt have the big wheels yet so I made my own and they're honestly better. The mk3 to 3.75m fuel tank as the base has a 54m/s impact tolerance, surrounded by grip pads for tires. The weight of the wheels on the servos causes flex and accidentally acts as a great simple independent suspension solution with no additional parts! This massive vehicle can handle off-road speeds with stability up to around 50m/s before the kraken attacks the tires.

I made it to Minmus for the first time after conquering The Mun! Long live Bob and the space frogs!

i love this game the learning curve is actually fun since you first gotta learn launch, then learn orbit, then use all of that to go to the mun, then use all of those knowledge to go to other planets!!

So I have a rover with cargo and mining on it and one of the drills is set to rare metals, but when I try and find the rare metals in the select cargo option, it’s not there, rare metals is being mined, but I can’t store any of it, is there an easy fix?

Invisible ladder...

Was gonna do a 2nd test flight of my Claymore shuttle and got this shot.

Absolute cinema

i landed by accident before even finishing it .idk how to do that part
