Well it looks like MechJeb is no longer working on my Old ships now so I guess I'm Done with KSP, oh well, it was Fun for a few years but I guess that's it. I'm Done.

Re-Installed 1.3 and it look like I have everything back. Was running 1.2 and DID NOT want to update. Been about as far as I could get with that version. Been to Laythe but it's like a 3hr trip even using FF 'cause of the manual staging of the Asparagus staged Nuke engines. Have a Base & orbital station there. Have a station & 2 bases on Duna too. 2 on the Mun & 1 on Minmus. Could see I could never build anything big enuf to get back to orbit from Eve so I gave that up. Was going to start trying for a couple of Jool's other moons but as I said it's a Long Way & a Long Time to get there. Just want to fly and have some fun and not make it a Real Job trying to do anything else. Really wish I could learn to build Big stuff in Kerbin Orbit so I could launch from there and not all the way out of Kerbins gravity well but I've yet to figure out how to do that. 1.3 looks different and I'll see what happens. If I start losing all my old ships in Re-Entry being "Realistic" that I think I'll be Done with it all. I just liked it as a Game.

Think it was because I hit the Reset button down in the bottom rt corner. The VAB it was doing crazy things trying to build a new ship and I ran out of ideas why. Now all my saved ships are gone. So are all the Stock ships I tried copying my Craft files to another folder but that didn't do anything, everything has been wiped clean. In the VAB lots of stuff is now greyed out. Ideas?

Nothing really fancy. 2 Duna Landers and the Kerbin-Duna shuttle attached to the Duna Orbital Station

Finally took a shot at getting to Jool. Used my usual Duna supply ship unmanned but with some xtra boost at launch to keep more fuel in the main stage. Not much gas left in the last stage so broke orbit there and went to Laythe. Now it's out of gas except for a smidge. So I know I can get there now, have to load a ship with fuel to take out there to get back. Takes quite a bit of time to get out there even in FF mode. I'd like to see one more notch in the FF to make it more manageable.

Yeah that's it, the "Transparent" one, I can stick it on any pic for a Wallpaper. Not really for anything but my own screens Thanx!

BTW - anyone have the Kerbal Logo w/o any background to use on wallpapers?

Duna lander undocking from the Duna orbital station and the Kerbin-Duna transfer ship to land at Duna Base Here's the boys outside watching another Duna sunrise

I hit my Launcher for KSP, the Old version and it just sits there flashing "Searching for Updates" and does nothing! Can't I keep the Old version and download 1.0 separately?

Seen so many good Wallpapers here I wanted to start trying some myself. One of several times I've come across this view some better than others. I call it "Outbound"

How can I take Clean screenshots without all the displays and icons all around the edges of the frame? I see you guys with shots of nothing but what you want to show as far as ships, scenery .etc. I'd like to take shots I can use as Wallpapers without the Junk all around the edges.

Nothing Fancy, just another Sunrise on Duna

Thanx. I'll DL the 32bit.

Had to do a Clean install of W7 and am now using 7 Home Premium 64bit. I D/L'd KSP x64 but get a KSP warning in the beginning that I should use the Windows 32bit version. It has frozen a couple times. I thought that was what 64bit was for! Should I run KSP 32 on Windows 7 64bit?

Finally landed on Duna. 1st trips were just orbital then I built what I figured should land OK. Made it! So, I knew this was a One Way ship hoping it has fuel enough to make it back into Duna orbit. That's the next step for maybe tomorrow. Then I will send the same ship I orbited with before Unmanned that they can dock with then return. We'll see.

Yep! That did it! I never noticed the Striping was gone on the bottom half. I don't know how it happened but maybe when I kept taking off the bottom with the Asparagus staging and putting it back on it somehow got the tank up inside the coupler. That was the screwy thing! I had a vehicle simular to this that I've already been in orbit around Duna but when I rebuilt the top with the Lander I want to try it somehow got changed. I just didn't understand 'cause I didn't do anything Different! Thanx Guys!

Tried with 4 struts & 6 struts, when it decouples it ripps the engine off the tank! Do I have the struts on Wrong?

This is Single Stack after discarding the Asparagus boosters. My last stage is now empty after achieving Kerbin escape velocity. But when I stage from the last chemical booster, the decoupler keeps yanking off my Nuke engine! I've tried Struts more and fewer to no effect. The stack won't fly without struts from the lower stage to the upper without failing on the way up. What am I doing wrong?

Made a design with the std KSP Logo right on Cafe Press. Says $22.99 ea add $3 for 2XL. Now do I just make it for myself or what? Hate to have Squad come after me for it for selling them!

Not really a T-shirt wearer any more but I would definitely grab a couple Kerbal Polos. How about it?

Gotta have a better way of maneuvering the Kerbals on EVAs. The camera view with the little guys just doesn't cut it. Maybe I'm just too ham handed with the keyboard but if I get more than a few meters off the ship, I have a hell of a time getting back. Then once you get too far away, there's no point of reference anymore to judge your speed and direction getting back. I've lost a half dozen Kerbalnauts before finding out about the Quicksave but still. there's gotta be a better way. I can sweat through 3-4 tries before I can close a small gap from station to capsule without smacking a key to get going the wrong way or too fast. They really should be able to move from ship to ship and from module to module in space stations without having to go outside. Or how about a tether so you don't go flying off to Infinity like Sandra Kerban!

Well Now I have your Forum window knocking down my KSP while it's running and the Asparagus thing isn't working and the whole thing is Freezing KSP for me, Thanks a Lot Pal!!!
