Thanks a lot for all the info, guys! I really appreciate it! Fitter

I hear what you're saying. I thought I was being patient with my current career. I'll start again and try being even more patient! Thanks again all!

I would love to not have to upgrade the launch pad before the mun mission but I can't even get into orbit when I have to keep the mass below 18. Can you help me understand how to build a rocket and get to the mun keeping it under the mass cap of 18? Thanks! Fitter

Can anyone help me better understand how to rescue the stranded kerbin in orbit without maneuver nodes? So far what I plan to do is get into orbit and create an orbit close to the stranded kerbin's. I plan to make my apoaxis slightly higher than the stranded kerbins then wait. I should at some point align with him. My question is how do I get on the same plane as the stranded kerbin without maneuver nodes? I need to complete this mission to get the money to upgrade mission control to get them. Thanks guys, Fitter

Thanks guys. It's not that I don't have any contracts left. It's the fact that the contracts that I have left are outside my reach. I did pick up the "explore the mun" contract. I suppose I can try to do an orbit around the mun without nodes. Although I find myself running really low on delta v and I'm not sure I'm going to make it. I feel very stuck. Thanks for the tips For future reference, is there a different strategy I should use other than upgrading my launch pad first then my tracking station and mission control? Is there a better way to spend my money keeping in mind that I am very uneasy about going outside kerbins orbit without maneuver nodes? Thanks, Fitter

I'm stuck. I'm in my career early on and I've run out of money and missions I can do. Please help me figure out where I've gone wrong. The first thing I do is do a few missions and upgrade my launch pad. I find that the weight limit is really restricting. Then I did enough simple missions so I can upgrade my tracking station. I though that would get me maneuver nodes. To my horror, it has not! I have like 3 missions left, the ones that are on Kerbin where you either rescue a Kerbal or fly to different locations and get crew reports. I can't do these because I don't have the ability to build a plane. I purposely stayed away from doing the mun landing mission until I got maneuver modes. I thought I had them when I upgraded the tracking station so I accepted that mission. Bottom line, I have about 18,000 credits left. No missions that I can do and apparently I need to upgrade mission control to get maneuver nodes which is 52,000 credits. I'm stuck. What did I do wrong? How it is possible to upgrade everything you need to upgrade in the early game? Thanks guys, Fitter

well i think it would be really cool to add reentry heat.. I didnt want this to turn into a wants thread though... im sure there are a million of those out there... Thanks for all your input though guys.. Fitter

I am a little confused. Does the upgrade to Beta now mean that they are not adding new content anymore? Not that i hate or am complaining if thats the case .. i was just wondering. I am under the impression that alpha is where content is added and beta is a "stress Test" of that content. So a game only enters Beta if they consider it more or less final. Can anyone in the know about this kind of thing set me straight? Thanks! Fire
