Foolery Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Hey All,New to KSP and just completed my very first landing... it was on Minmus. What a blast. I know this is considered a pretty basic event but it was a big step for me having just become comfortable with achieving orbit.Thanks to all who take time to post instructional videos.Foolery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whackjob Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 It's not a basic event in the slightest. It's a major milestone! Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liowen Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Nothing Basic about landing on Minmus at all, as Whackjob said it is a milestone and should always be celebrated! Congrats on the first of many first to come your way!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col_Jessep Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Today it's Minmus, tomorrow the Mun and soon it will be Tylo. The basics are the same for every powered landing, for some of the other places you just need a rocket with more oomph. Congrats! It's a larger step than you might think.

dazhat Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 A first landing is a real achievement. Can you send us a screenshot of your ship (press F1, press F2 to remove the navball etc)? Very hard the first time but it gets easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirrobert Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Your first landing on a different body is the biggest milestone there is in KSP. Congrats.The only other big milestone is docking, everything else useles those 2 skills (orbital randevous, and getting to and landing on a different body) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7499275 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Welcome newcomer! Congrats on your first Minmus landing! One thing that does make Minmus a milestone is its inclination! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foolery Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Thanks for your kind words everyone! I'm very happy to have found KSP and this community. The lander I used is probably a very common design, closely modeled after Scott Manley's lander in his YouTube tutorials. Here's a screenshot. Hope I'm doing it correctly to show in this message...

Vanamonde Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 For the moment your happy announcement has been moved to the new-player welcome subforum, but why not expand the story of your triumph with some screenshots and post it in mission reports?
