[How to efficiently do station contracts]

The most funds-efficient station contracts that I've come across (at least with my own playstyle) are by far the "Solar Orbit" stations.

After I put it in LKO, I'll usually burn so that my ship is ahead of Kerbin, outside the SOI. The reason for this is so that once the contract is complete, I can burn retrograde and fall easily back into Kerbin's SOI.

Hope this helps!

this is brilliant insight!

[Why does the orbit track sometimes 'vibrate']

Thanks guys! I am using a very short craft in my recent save, only 7.4m x 4 x 4; I radially attached 4 science juniors each with a fuel tank underneath no struts just a simple technique i learned from a scott manley video :-p unsure if this makes my ships more wobbly but since i've done this from like day 1 and seen this issue every time eventually, it makes sense.

I was also in a nearly circular orbit in the recent instance that made me log in and ask the question

edit: i had a circular orbit at 20k within a few meters and the nodes were nuts as expected. I changed the apoapse up by 4k abnd things calmed down a lot, with only the last 2 digits bouncing around.

[Why does the orbit track sometimes 'vibrate']

i've noticed that occasionally an orbit track that should be stable, meaning no thrust is occurring and no other obvious things are happening to cause fluctations, will jiggle madly. the peri and apo apsis markers will swing back and forth rapidly and things like surface velocity are jumping around. is there any consensus why this happens? i'm running the 32bit version for the usual reasons..

Thank you. since I could not switch via other methods it didn't occur to me to try keyboard short cuts.. weird, but it worked,thanks

[[0.90]Problem rescuing a space stranded kerbal]

I have no problems getting into orbit and getting close to him. heck i'm at 61m right now, 0.2m/s relative velocity

I had no problems when i last played in 0.24.

I cannot switch to the kerbal to fly him the last bit and i cannot grab him via eva, I had the pilot fly out and try to get him that way,lol...

how the heck do you rescue them these days? when i try to switch to target i get 'cannot focus an object we do not own.' ?????

huh?

any insights?

I get 502's too. CKAN won't download from KerbalStuff, either.

Just want to confirm I also get 502 bad gateway at this time.

[[1.12.x] Sounding Rockets! Start small. Dream big!]

Check out the Sounding Rockets Mod Spotlight I just posted on YouTube: http://youtu.be/t4a6ehvMH4A

http://youtu.be/t4a6ehvMH4A

I watched that video before downloading and installing this addon.

In the current release all of the science modules except the engineering one bear the mouse-over description of meteorological Survey Package, is this somehow intended? the 'old' names are much cooler :-p

[[1.12.x] Sounding Rockets! Start small. Dream big!]

If your right click menu is ahoo, ensure you have the latest version. This was fixed.

I discovered that until CrowdSourcedScience is updated it also blocks this action (http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/102373-0-90-Crowd-Sourced-Science-Under-New-Management) apparently its also interfering with at least one other mod, Interstellar.

[[1.9-1.10] Hangar]

I created and launched an inline habitable hangar intended as part of a station. it works great. I decided to eva Jebediah and look at it from outside, noticed a crew hatch on it and landed and entered the station. fiddled with controls (open close doors, lights etc) and then Jeb started to panic as he cannot figure out how to get out :-p

perhaps i'm missing something obvious.. but how do i get him out? lol
