Poor Squad. They always get accused of not communicating enough and not being "transparent" enough, and then when they put something out, they get accused of over-hyping and over-spoilering.

Whether or not it's possible will depend on the method you're attempting. Since you haven't specified that, there's really no way to evaluate the possibility. (Meanwhile, moved to gameplay questions.)

Hello Fearlessjames118. Welcome to the forum and welcome back to the game.

Pictures of your craft always help diagnosing problems. Can you post some?

Welcome to the forum, Vane, and congratulations on your moon landing.

The developers are making the software that runs the game. That's the hard part. Then modders add details and alternatives to what is already working code. This is like taking the engineers who design and build a car and comparing them to the folks who come along later and make after-market seat covers for the car.

This add-on discussion moved to the add-on discussion area.

There's no need to be insulting about it, especially since it's meant as a joke.

Cobalt60, there is already a large and pretty active thread for this kind of vehicle, so your post has been added to it to keep the forum tidy. But while we're here, how about a pic of your own Mun lander?

Guys, if you think of something else you want to say right after posting, please just edit the post and add to it rather than submit multiple posts in a row. Sequential posting just forces others to click through more page-loads to read the same content.

Moved to gameplay questions. For precision landings, I like to set the camera looking past my ship at the target at about a 45 degree angle from the ground. From this vantage, it's easy to see if the ship is drifting. If low, throttle up. If high, turn retrograde and brake. Left/right are obvious. Though to make that easier, I rotate my ship so that left on the screen is left for steering as well.

Moved to gameplay. Please continue.

It seems that asteroids will be little moving objects. What are also little moving objects? Ships! Practice rendezvousing with ships at different inclinations, and I suspect the skills you hone will transfer over to asteroid captures. (Also, moved to gameplay questions.)

Not every bug is going to show up every time, so the fact that you didn't see any in a video which was intended to show the game as they are *hoping* it will run doesn't mean there aren't any bugs needing to be fixed. For some of us, KSP used to have a very nasty one in which the game would randomly run fine for a week, and then just as randomly crash every 5 minutes for an hour at a time. A video recorded while that version was running well would not have shown why some of us were ripping our hair out. But, Squad fixed that bug, as they have fixed many others, and will continue to keep improving the game.

The third ship in the first post of this thread is a moon ship you can download. It's capable of roundtrips to the moons, and uses only parts from tiers 0-3.

Hello AbhChallenger, and welcome to the forum. I, for one, am not in a hurry for the game to be finished. I like that there are new things to do every few months.

Moved to the area for non-KSP stuff. (Interesting, though. Thanks for posting it. )

Once the release is out and you folks have had a chance to see and try the parts, feel free to start threads about them in the Suggestions forum. But since what you're seeing now may not even be the final version of aspects of a release that isn't finalized yet, please keep the discussion to this one thread for the moment. Thank you!

This looks like a job for Gameplay Questions! (Moved.)

AntiMatter001, tutorials on many subjects including docking can be found in the tutorials sub-forum, and there are mods of all sorts including shuttles on display here. Other folks might be able to give you more specific suggestions, but those are good places to start.

Why is everything turning into an angry argument lately? If y'all could discuss the topic and not each other's intelligence, that would be swell.

Some subjects have been discussed, suggested, and argued about until the sheer bulk of repetitive posting began to clog up the forum without ever resolving anything, and so those subjects were placed on the list of subjects not to suggest. Lagrange points and N-body gravity is, unfortunately, one of those subjects, so we'll be closing this thread now. Someone is working on a mod, however, which might be of interest.

The overheating bug *has* been fixed, and it is indeed as orange as the real shuttle's external tank. But thread moved to suggestions so the right people will see it.

Yeah, I'm 51. We're the generation who watched Apollo on live TV while we were in grade school. This stuff is as familiar to us as Miley Cyrus is to you punk kids.

Hello Sp33d3h. I also poke around the Kerbal Reddit sometimes, but this forum is more active. Anyway, welcome to the forum.
