  1. My first "official" landing was really uneventful, but the one I recorded for youtube was...interesting LOL.
  2. Oh wait I lost Bill today also. I was practicing docking maneuvers and went to bring the ships back home....well decoupling the ships must be a bad thing. I had chutes deployed on both, but sadly Bill is lost. I guess I need more practice or do like I thought and just use a probe tug for interstellar transporting of the landers.
  3. I have bad OCD when it comes to debris on my save, and in some way I think it adds to frame frame issues as that parts are still counted. However I do have a probe around Kerbin called time keeper, it is used to advance the planets for me.
  4. I spent the day working on a lander for Duna/Eve mission, but not 100% sold on my design yet. I still need a tug though, but for that I am thinking an unmanned probe with atomic motors, docking ports, fuel, and RCS. I still would like to try a single lander mission without docking, but not sure if I can do that right now.
  5. Mine was having Jebediah come back to life after an unforeseen "accident" on Mun. In fact my first flag that is up there is in his memory, and the second attempt Jeb was flying the mission....creepy! Zombie Jebediah!!!
  6. While I am far from an expert at KSP, I have had it just over a month now, I have managed 3 Mun landings and 2 Minimus landings using the same ship. I filmed on of each of my Mun and Minimus, while they are not a tutorial fore say it may help guide you into the right idea. The first video I had a ton of issues with so please follow the on screen text bits....you will thank me later. If the others do not show up in the list then you may just have to go to my channel to view the rest in the listing. Again I am sure there are more efficient ways to do things, but considering this was less than a week of having the game I consider it a success! Edit: Just a side note this ship does not have advanced SAS, or RCS on it so tunring it in space is a bit of a chour, but doable if you give yourself time.
  7. While I am far from great at building ships, this little heap actually did more than go to Mun and back it also went on to Minimus on my third mission. I am sure it is over kill on power for such a small craft, but better safe than sorry. This thing only has 5 stages and 97 parts, a majority of it struts to ensure safety. My original design has a capsule I changed it to the lander can, mostly for my viewing out the window While this is on with the capsule on it it still is an impressive shot. Here is the main sail of the ship all the way out near Minimus, I never honestly thought I would make it there with fuel to spare ion that thing. One of the nicest shots I have taken to date a sunset on Minimus, or maybe it was a sunrise I cannot remember now though.
  8. Seemingly every time I crash land there are two outcomes; either it blows up and good, or I bust a light. It is the strangest thing because I can almost tell what is going to happen if it is going bad. Oh, and lets not talk about time acceleration..... bad things happen at 1000x speed and phone calls. Lost Bobcat Kerman to the Mun doing that
  9. I will have to look into that trainer. I wonder if an unmaned pusher docked with a lander might be doable. Basically a probe with atomic engines and lots of fuel to push the lander to the next planets orbit, and the lander docking refueling before returning home.... or planet hop before heading home (Kerbin to Duna then to Eve then to Kerbin). Now I am in trouble as I have ideas, and those can always be bad! Thanks for the help.
  10. I have recently picked up KSP (well I have had it for nearly a month now to be honest), and I am enjoying myself out among the stars. I have found some videos that helped me find my way into building effective rockets, and I tweaked them a bit to use the lander can as I like those a bit better.... better windows. Currently I do not run mods on the, but I do have MechJeb and Protractor downloaded but I have only used them while practicing and not on my actual missions. I have done 2 Mun landing and a Minimus landing (one of the mun landings and the Minimus landing are on my youtube channel), but I am having difficulty going further. The major problem is making a ship that can both travel to other planets, land, and return without docking. Why no docking you may ask....well short answer is I do not feel confident doing that yet. But that might be for a different thread.... Any help would be welcomed as I know some have been playing for a lot longer than myself. Also, unless I make a signature tonight, if you want to see my terrible videos I have made so far I will send the youtube link in a message, or post it this thread if it is ok to do so. I leave you with my very first successful, though awkward, Mun landing.
