Hey guys, Years ago before I bought the game I got the free demo. Lately I've been showing the game to a 10 year old aspiring kerbalnaut and he loves it. So naturally I thaught of the demo but I can't find it anymore on the website. Doesn't Squad offer it anymore?

Hey, thanks for your reply. The contractparameters says: Have a facility supporting at least 20 Kerbals. I've noticed in the past a contract asked for the space but that was worded differently IIRC. In this case I think it means have 20 Kerbals there? (I have 5 allready) I need 3 engineers.

I just had to tell someone! For 2 hours I've just been sitting back and smiling! I've got a station worthy of that name, instead of 2 rockets connected end to end and calling it a station. I now have 4 different pieces all docked together in orbit of Minmus. I can't stop looking at that beauty. My space program's previous best was a flyby of Moho and an abandoned Kerbal swimming in Laythe's ocean. It's brimming with fuel and monopropellant due to over engineering, but that's perfect for my lander, so it can make multiple trips to the surface for science. I still need to bring up other pieces to fulfill the contract, not to mention 15 more Kerbals. That is doable since there are plenty of docking ports available. I've been enjoying contemplating everything I can do with it. Options that are completely new to me, it's great! Happy flying everyone, Dutchy45

Hey guys, I hope this is the right place for my Questions. Mods, feel free to move this post if not. A friend of mine installed CKAN for me (to let you know I'm fairly useless with computers) and I would like to know if I can play different games with different mods in CKAN? And if so how? Please ELI5, when I installed a mod before I had CKAN I needed quite a bit of help from people on the life chat before I succeeded. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, I have the game for almost a year now. I'm not very good at it but no matter, I'm enjoying myself! The MPL can give a terrific amount of science points but I've noticed that it's possible for a second 1 to process the same experiments again. It feels kind of "cheatty" to me. Now, I haven't send the science points from both MPL's back to the KSC yet so correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a very easy way to fill out the techtree. Am I overlooking something here? If this is possible is there a way to turn off the ability to do this? Thanks in advance and happy flying everyone.

If this is the wrong place for my question, accept my apologies. What is the lower right button in the VAB for? The 1 between the engineers report and the reset button. On the chat somebody mentioned wifi button and notification but that does not make me any wiser. Could somebody eli5? Thank you.

I'm in science mode. I don't use mods. I have 3 stations orbiting Mun, Minmus and Duna. They all have the Mobile Processing Lab. They have 950 electricity and radially attached solar panels. They cannot transmit the science they have before they run out of power, even when I turn everything else off. The result is a complete abort. They all have the Communotron DTS-M1, I tried engaging partial allowed, but nothing works. How can I get the data transmitted to the KSC?

Thanks StarStreak2109, You are off course right! I assumed that it was a KSP-term because I'd never come across it. Googling it would have been simpler.

When I first came across the term porkchop plot I thought; What the h**l is that? Now I know what it stands for, but I keep wondering why? Why are porkchop plots called porkchop plots? (plots I understand)

Hallo allemaal, nog een NLer hier maar ik woon in Antwerpen. Ik speel KSP sinds 3/4 maanden.

Hi all, New Kerbonaut here. I assume it's been asked before but I could not find it. I have 2 dots and am a bottle rocketeer. I'm surprised that I've moved past the newbie stage. So my questions. 1. What did I do to get past the first rank? 2. How does 1 move up the stages? 3. Are their benefits associated with moving up?

Congrats fellow Dutchman. You seemed to have gotten of on a great start. Happy flying to you.

Thanks Starhawk, It kind of does n't make sense, 124 m above. But good to know. I did n't even bring a 'chute cause I did n't expect to come this close. I'm taking them now though.

I just got a craft to orbit Duna for the first time. I could contemplate Duna close-up, feeling great that that was by my own doing. It feels like a huge step forward. On the next try, to see if I could do it again, I got my periapsis down to 6 km. Never for a moment allowing for an atmosphere. The result was ultimate G lithobraking. Oh well. I had some fuel left to try to slow down, but before I could use that, I already crashed. So here is my question. Is "sea level" on Duna (and the Mun and Minmus) the lowest point on the surface? I've lost a number of ships to mountains. I vaguely remember sea level on Mars IRL to be the average height of the entire planet (could be wrong!) and I assumed that to be the case in the game as well.

Hello everbody, I'm a noob. Not just with KSP but with gaming in general. I'm retired and have no interest in playing World of Warcraft or some racing game. Before I started KSP I mostly played backgammon! Yes, you may giggle. Anyway I've got a few questions I hope you guys can help me with. 1. I haven't played in a few weeks and I just got around to installing version 1.1.3 Do I delete the older version? I think I red it somewhere. 2. In my account (I bought straight from the store) there was/is beside KSP 1.1.3 also KSP installer. What do I use that for? 3. When I first installed it a few months ago, I copied a Kerbal figure from within the KSP_win file to the desktop and it worked fine. There are however 3 of those. KSP, KSP_x64 and Launcher and as far as I can tell when I open them I get the game. They are different sized. Can somebody enlighten me? Or maybe I actually should do it different, I don't know? I would have hesitated to ask these questions if it was n't for the fact that I've noticed other new players got treated very nice here. So, thanks in advance
