  1. I really appreciate the feedback. As always, you all kick ass. New is maybe the incorrect term. I have 92 hours logged on Steam however I've only now really started to appreciate what KSP is and have finally started to learn about space and everything it involves. Can I easily reach Orbit? Yeah! Efficiently? Can someone define that word please? lol
  2. I'm looking for some additional opinions on which game play mode I should choose. Fairly new to the game however I've added a number of mods that make it more realistic and provide additional parts: 6S Service Compartments Alcor ConnectLivingSpaces DeadlyReentry KAS KerbalEngineer KW Rocketry LazTech SpaceX Realchute RemoteTech2 TacLifeSupport The things I'm really looking forward to: Setting up a comms Space bases Space stations I started in Career mode and patience is not a great quality of mine. While falling asleep in bed last night (and doing my best to block out girlfriend's DVR'ed General Hospital episode) I decided, "Why not just rock Sandbox mode?". Well after thinking about it a bit in the car this morning (and doing my best to block out girlfriend's holiday planning) will I get bored or lack the drive to do more? Some rules I want to follow: If a Kerbal dies, he is dead. I don't have enough resources to stop a Kerombie Apocalypse. No such thing as "Revert to...". This isn't golf. Keep it near 2014. In this round I don't plan on using technology that is only defined in Robert Heinlein books. You are all super smart and great at thinking outside the box. What am I not thinking about? and ultimately, which game mode should I choose? Thank you! Neidz
  3. Awesome. Thanks for the additional information. I believe I was using an outdated tutorial or a tutorial that shouldn't necessarily be a tutorial haha.
  4. This community rules. Back to the drawing board! Thank you RainDreamer and Streetwind. Really appreciate your time. I'll be sure to follow up with my new results!
  5. I guess thinking about it a little longer my math is assuming all 7 communication parts will be transmitting 100% of the time in darkness. The probability of that is properly not very likely?
  6. I plan on sending up a few communication satellites into KEO and I want to verify I have enough power capacity. 1 DP-10 = 0.01 c/s 3 DTS-M1 = 2.46 c/s (0.82) 3 KR-7 = 2.46 c/s (0.82) Total c/s = 4.93 c/s The total length of darkness at 2,868,750m = 1200 (1195.28) seconds. 4.93*1200 = 5916 capacity needed. I only have a max of 200 capacity (the Z-200 Rechargeable Batteries). 5916/200 = 30 (29.58). So that would mean I would need 30 batteries? Thanks!
