I have more precision with mouse/keyboard than anything else, so 99% of the time, I stay with the basics. If I want a little more fun, I fly planes with my joystick. If I want even more fun, I drive rovers with my racing wheel. (Yes it works, yes it's awesome )

Ordinarily I'd say Duna, but recently I sent a surface base to both Eve and Duna, but only the Eve one survived :\ (The Duna station came in about 100m/s too fast... close, but so, so far...)

Make sure when you try it, to adjust the amount of solid fuel in the sepratrons. If you have too much, the boosters will roatate all the way down, rather than making the cross and staying that way. Also, I've had issues with the seperatrons actually destroying the rest of my rocket by overheating them on the way down. Adjusting the solid fuel to a quick burst reduces this risk a huge amount.

Got about 5 on Mun, 3 orbiting Mun, 5 on Eve, and 4 or 5 orbiting Duna.

If you really want to upgrade your GPU, I recommend going to the R9 series instead of crossfire. I upgraded from a 6850 to a R9 270 and the difference was impressive... even in KSP.

Hi, So I brought a two-seat rover to the Mun with a pilot and a level 3 engineer to repair the tires as needed. For an hour or so, it went great: I would crash, get out, fix the tires, get rolling again. I did this a couple times. Eventually, I headed back toward an outpost. Once I got there, I attempted to fix the tires again (I like driving erraticly, okay?) my engineer seemed to have forgotten how. It would tell me that I need at least a level three engineer etc. etc. My Kerbal is still level three, so I ended up flying another level 3 out to do his job for him. TL;DR : My level 3 engineer hit his head a few times and forgot how to fix tires. Can I fix this? Mod List: KAS, KAC, KER

The Khaos Kart. 99.9% indestructible, so long as you have a 3 star engineer to fix the wheels once in a while. Seats 2. Self-propelled up to 22 m/s on wheels only. Can withstand crashes up to (possibly exceeding) 80 m/s. Powerful SAS and a system of landing struts can push it upright from any situation, on Kerbin or Mun. I've also recently made the mk 2 version, which I call the Khaos Turbo. No pics of that one yet, but it has a winch (KAS), slightly more durable design, better SAS, and twin monoprop boosters. It will only seat 1.

I call it the Khaos Kart. Due to it's armor plating, it's nearly indestructible while Karting around. Weighs about 4 tons, has about 120 parts, and gets up to about 22m/s.

Off-the-top-of-my-head stats: (underestimating until I get exact numbers) Stock only: Yes! Ceiling: 5km Max speed: 70 m/s Orbit: Nope! Take-off: Nothin but Ion

I think on my current career, the three of them are sitting on Mobius Station orbiting Mun. I usually try to put them somewhere "safe" so they don't get attacked by the Kraken.

Yeah I don't care much for Instagram, or Snapchat, or any apps really. Probably cuz I've never had a smartphone. I spend 90% of my time on the computer anyway, why spend a bunch extra each month so I can watch .... on my phone (or whatever you rich people do )...

aaaaaahhhhh it's coming right at me! Burn it with fire!

So I'm curious... why do folks do something like this (multiple monitors making a big one), what with all the borders between em, minimal increase in actual resolution, etc, when you can buy a projector for much cheaper? My buddy has an HD one, and it works amazingly. If we do split-screen on COD, we still each have the equivalent of a big-screen TV, in HD no less. The downside being we have to make the room dark as ***heck to work at optimum, but that seems like a small price to pay.

I was just completing my orbit around Kerbin, when... BOOM! No more wing Edit: Now that I look at it, I think I was coming back from Mun when it happened...

Made up this name for one of my DC Universe characters. Ended up loving it, and adopted it as my permanent nickname

I'd buy this computer only if I were planning to upgrade it. Memory: 8gB. That's fine for now, my machine is running 4gB with very little trouble. The fact that it's DDR2 means it could be difficult to upgrade when it comes time. HDD: 1000gB. Also fine, you shouldn't need to upgrade that for a while. GPU: Radeon HD5450. Could certainly be upgraded with great benefit. I recommend Radeon HD 6850 or higher. I think they sell for about $100 nowadays.\ CPU: Intel Core 2-Duo @ 3.0 gHz. Not terrible, but could certainly be better. OS: Windows 7. Thank jesus it's not Windows 8

The best (most efficient IMO) use of stations that I've come up with is thus: Get a contract to put a station on a solar orbit. Build a little station to the required specs, filling it with mostly unranked Kerbals (and an experienced pilot). Take em just outside Kerbal's SOI, wait til the contract is considered complete, then burn retrograde and parachute back to safety. I can usually launch one for about 50,000, and I receive about 200,000+ per time. And I get a few Kerbals to level 2!

Because, since they make video games, they clearly shouldn't be allowed free time or the ability to play other video games. If you work on video games, then that's your LIFE. THAT'S ALL YOU DO! WHY AREN'T YOU MAKING MY VIDEO GAME BETTER RAAAAAWR! *cough* Yep.

Well, yes. That would encourage folks to leave the Kerbin system and explore other planets. Collected all the possible science on the Mun? Well then "Science data from Mun" contracts should stop showing up. You'll actually need to go further to get that science. And with contracts, it's all but impossible to run out of gatherable science. Just convert some funds or rep.

They pretty clearly have fuel tanks outside. Who's to say it wasn't a farm to begin with? The lack of visible Kerbal cities or infrastructure means it could quite literally be any kind of civilization. Maybe even full of farms. Maybe one of those farms decided to launch rockets instead of growing Kerbal-Korn. It's a video game, y'know. Not a true-to-life simulator.

I like the combined Churches of the Kraken. Reminds me of Life of Brian with the bitter rivals with very similar names: "The People's Front of Judea", "Judean People's Front", "Judean Popular People's Front", and the "Popular Front of Judea" (which consists of a single old man)

True, but that doesn't mean it has to be that way in a video game. There's a lot to be said for realism, but the main point of video games is to extend reality for our amusement. The reason the buildings in reality look the same is probably (correct me if I'm wrong) because, well, it's cheaper to paint everything the same, they're probably all designed by the same people, and they serve a specific purpose with little regard to aesthetics. In a video game, literally none of these should hold a developer back (except for funding I guess, but in Squad's case that doesn't seem to be an issue). I guess what I'm saying is, "why not?" Which begs the question, "why?" Meh.

I don't completely mind spammable contracts, but only if they are given some kind of stipulation. For example, Plant flag on X body could become Plant flag on X body at least Y distance from other flags. 5 km, 50km, 500km, whatever. So you can still repeat them, but it's not like just walking out your back door and plopping another one into the forest. EDIT: Thinking about it, though, it would be possible to just pull up a flag, then plant it again in the same spot. Hm... Also, Transmit/retrieve science data from X could be Transmit/retrieve NEW science data from X. Basically, if it provides science, it counts. if you already did it and you get no science from it (repeated temp scans, crew reports, etc.) then it doesn't count. Just my two cents
