  1. I stumbled upon Scott Manleys amazing videos before I even heard of KSP, after watching his absolute beginners guide a few times I bought the game and after mimicking his rocket and procedures it took me 3 amazing crashes before reaching orbit. So I did it in one day. Although Scott helped a lot, also being a private pilot helped understanding the navball
  2. Coming home, friday night (or was it saturday morning?), drunk and bend on just watching my newly almost-completed beautifull space station in orbit around Kerbin. I knew I wasn't able at that time to dock the final piece that was parked in a lower orbit, so I just enjoyed watching Worf LKO Station move around Kerbin. Turning the lights on and off, warping to sunset and sunrise... After 10 minutes, a final cigarette, I was ready for bed, Escape/key, End Flight, OK...sleep...wake up....thinking of KSP, aahh my space station, lets see it before I start my day... ....space station....where are you?
  3. After launching manually many times I now use MJ when I'm lazy or doing something else, so what? Besides, being the hardcore KSP'er you seem to be I can imagine you get this reaction from girls a bit more often in real life... Cool, thanks! Clean install for now it is, including manual launches...ooohhh dearrrr
  4. Well that's weird... Since installing the update launch clamps are spawning left and right during launch... I had three mods installed; MechJeb, Lazor docking camera and the crew manifast. The first two appear to be working normally in 0.20 but I'm wondering if they have something to do with this. Anyone had the same problem? Deleting everything and reload from Steam?
  5. Thanks again everyone! Tonite I'm going to send my first probe to Duna, will post pictures if I succeed
  6. Ok cool, thanks georgTF, learning a lot! Gotcha! Still a lot to learn, do and explore...loving it Ok honey bunny
  7. Ok thanks guys, LKO it is! I could imagine it would save on some delta-v transferring from the Mun or Minmus, but orbital mechanics is still a bit hazy to me.
  8. New user here, hi everybody! So I have been playing, getting frustrated and being totally euphoric with KSP for about 3 weeks now. I am HOOKED! Apparantely this has been the game I have been waiting for years for, without it even knowing myself. In the last weeks I have succeeded in orbital flight, rendezvous and docking, setting up a station around Kerbin and the Mun and even landing a 30 ton roving-habitat on the Mun. Now that I feel I can just handle the basics I have set my sights on a permanent Duna presence (station and base). So I'm slowly getting to grips with phase angles and launching practice missions to Minmus and the Mun. But I'm still left with a few questions, the biggest being; Generally speaking what would be more efficient before the interplanetary injection burn? Orbit and refuel around Kerbin Orbit and refuel around the Mun Orbit and refuel around Minmus Also, is interplanetary injection burn the correct term? Thanks guys!
