Thanks Guys!

Hi all, So I've managed to get to most planets but the only one I've managed to return from is Duna. Ive come to the conclusion ill have to build my interplanetary ships in orbit to remove the Dv required to get away from Kerbin. However I really don't know where to start! Ive tried putting a lander in orbit then sending up the rockets and docking them but having a lifter actually capable of sending up the rockets for the lander was very hard and a failure on all accounts. Can anyone offer advice or tips on what to do in this case? What parts do I send up and how do I link them together in orbit? I have KAS. Thanks!

I think its around 2000ASL but can't recall exactly.

Jeb is currently on vacation in the Space Station!

So I've started using this tool but really no idea how the ship should look. For example where do the Radial Couplers attach to in Stage 2 and 3? Do they both connect to the main body created in stage 1?

Yeah it has about 1900dv remaining. I only looked at the total round trip back to Kerbal Orbit and didn't take into account how much (LOTS) of dv is needed to get off Eve!

So I made it to Eve and landed. Took Mr Bill Kerman for a wee EVA to plant a flag. Now he is glued to the surface due to Gravity! His mini RCS pack hasnt enough power to get him back to the pod. Oh no.

Hmmm no I don't use WIP and I haven't changed anything either. Ill maybe reinstall all mods and take it from there! Thanks

Hi, for some reason the dark part of Kerbin has started appearing like this: Any ideas why?

Thank you! Massive help!

So I sent a crane with a winch and some grappling hooks to Mun. I attached the grappling hooks to the winch and lowered the winch to the part I want to move, but the hook does not attach ANYWHERE!! I can't find any info on the wiki for KAS and there seems to be an overall lack of information regarding this mod. Any suggestions?

Cool thanks!

Hi all, i recently sent sent a small base to Mun, however the vast majority of it ended up upside down after a bouncy landing. Is is it possible to send a KAS built crane to help reposition the items or do the parts that require repositioning have to have already had KAS attachments on them?

Ok thanks, ill install Kerbal Attachment System!

Hi, so I went to minmus but ran out of electricity (didn't install solar panels - oops). The mainsail engine seemed to restore my electricity in flight but I couldn't land with it. My question is can I fly another ship to minmus and add batteries and solar panels to it, or will I have to just rescue Jeb from the surface?

Thanks all, ill give it a go using MechJeb

I have mechjeb installed but no clue how to use it yet! However I just checked it out for this mission and while the contract gives the LOA as 330.6, when I put this in Mechjeb the manoeuvre looks totally different to whats required?

Hi, Ive searched for this but can't seem to find it so apologies if its already been asked. Ive started taking a couple of Satellite contracts and while I can complete them its through eyeballing only. I have really no idea how to work out or even SEE what the Longitude of Ascending Node or Arg of Periapsis are or how to change them. I can easily match the Ap and Pe but the rest is just done by eyeballing the target green orbit. Is there a way to do this correctly? Also is it possible (and relevant!) to see my own orbits current AN and DN? Thanks!

Thanks!

Hey all, I'm new to KSP and love it! Been following Scott Manley's tips on Youtube and managed to get to Duna today. But unfortunately the landing was a bit rough and I destroyed 2 engines and I'm almost out of fuel so it looks like my Kerbals are staying there!
