I did it again, on my way to minmus. Pperiapsis was 100km and i warped from short after periapsis(after my 20s burn) to short before periapsis,

apoapsis was above 5 Mkm, it seems to occur if timewarp with 8-10 arrows is involved.

May 2, 2015

* mark/highlight contracts as active

* pay for access to other already existing launchsites on Kerbin to be able to launch from them as well

list updated

warp-to is broken sometimes

May 1, 2015

Another thing that has been suggested often is an orbit direction indicator.

do you mean in map view like the indicator on the contract-orbits, but for every orbit or an indicator in flight in case the navballs orientation is different due to special position of rootpart etc.?

May 1, 2015

Thx for the input. Yeah, i wasn't sure about the part and the strategy either. i will take them out and suggest them somewhere else.

May 1, 2015

They are green, Orbit is outside of athmosphere. periapsis between 70-80. i have to play and see if i can give you more details on the matter.

Quality of Life improvements for KSP

I played my last sessions of KSP with a texteditor open, where i noted everything that bugged me, frustrated me and angered me

and that i think could be easily fixed. So i decided to start a QoL-list. I remember something like that from another game and it

was really helpful.

I intend to keep the OP updated, so feel free to share your thoughts on how the gaming experience can be enhanced.

Please don't suggest big features, game-changers or stuff alike. The list shall be a quick oversight tool for the devs and the

community as well. Please use a categorisation as i tried to do, to keep it as simple and short as possible. Please suggest

improvements on the list, categorisation etc., if you have them. Keep this thread clean and constructive. Please check the

questions on the end of this post and feel free to answer them.

current QoL-suggestions in categories: Flight, Map, VAB/SPH, KSC, Parts, Career, User Interface, KSP, Modding

Thx for reading and have a lovely day

May 1, 2015

I had this issue too, but after switching vessels or after some warptime i could extend all antennas. but i don't know how i did it exactly. it may as well had something to do with the action group,

transmitting data and then abort or using another antenna manually to transmit data. It is definetly possible to extend all antennas, even after you an antenna to transmit science.

I love symmetric builds and i can enjoy my designs exactly as intended.

May 1, 2015

KSP Version v1.0.0 build id = 008302015.04.26 at 19:45:40 CESTBranch: master

Steam, don't know whether 32 or 64bit, used the default after install

Win7 64bit, AMD Apu A-7850K, 16 GB DDR3

All Stock

Steps to replicate(it happend quite alot to me, but i do not know if it happend

each and every single time i used this feature):

raise apoapsis much higher than periapsis

warp-to near periapsis

Result:

warp-to will bring down warptime to 1x(arrows) and immediatly rise it up to 4x(arrows)

it seems to occur if one or more different warpzones are involved

(i usually have my periapsis arund 70km and my apoapsis sometimes

several Mkm out, i warp-to from short after to short before periapsis again and again, so it goes from x50 to x1000 or

x10000 in warp and then back, it sets time to x1, but raises it almost instantly to 4 arrows in the timewarp, i think this is x1000)

this is quite annoying, because i offen missed good launchwindows because of that

Workaround:

hold your finger over the decrease time-warp button in case this happens

kidding, warp-to next maneuver seem to work, i just dont use this often

cause i don't need a node to rise my apoapsis

May 1, 2015

This is how i use Service Bays so far, i have now done most of the 90 science research in my career.

Javascript is disabled. View full album

edit: can anyone help me with the imgur album embedding? how is it done?

eidt 2: found it myself i mastered the google

edit 3: but i haven't mastered spelling yet^^

edit 4: transmitting and stuff only works with doors open, although i one time had the feeling the solar panels charged the battery while the doors where closed, but

i didn't try to replicate so far.

May 1, 2015

EVA-Fuel should drain the RCS ressources on vessels, if it was to much the first time they tried it, maybe work with a factor? 5 units EVARCS equals .05 units RCS or something like that?

May 1, 2015

as Mat2ch said, use KER or MEchjeb, fly blind and get a feeling or calculate your upper stage mass and build your rocket accordingly. Design, Test, Fail, Redesign and again until you have it, take a look at your ships mass while you do it and try to guess how much units of fuel where missing, or use infinte fuel(if necessary) and maneuver notes if you want to see how much dV was missing.

In my career i created a probe for landings on the mun and, out of frustration, cheated my way back, after several failed attempts, i was tired for that day and went to sleep. but i stuck with the design and improved it the next day, made it lighter, added some fuel and flew very effective(at least i believe i did ) the next time (crossing SOI before the mun, using oberth-effect to raise my apo with 20s burns until i reached mun-soi, liftoff from mun retrograde, reducing kerbinperiapsis with another mun-flyby, and last but not least i increased my apoapsis to be able to reduce my periapsis to reach the athmosphere because i had 7.5 units liquid fuel left and needed to decrease my periapsis 5,x Mkm, i burned to fast and ended with periapsis at 12km, the time bevor that, without raising my apoapsis, i couldn't get to the athmosphere, it went well, opened the chute at 5km, mission succces). i play KSP with some breaks since 2013, having 300h in the game(not that much compared to others^^) and i learned a lot about orbital maneuvering through that, was quite some fun. anyway my construction was able to go to the moon and fly back, cheating was justified

here is a link to the craft-file if you are interested, its 3stage system with a launcher and a small probe https://www.dropbox.com/s/s92cma0kp8wexnt/SP-03%20Gecko%20L.craft?dl=0 the probe can land on the mun and return to kerbin, it has 2xthermometers, 2xbarometers and 2xgoo. no antennas, no science bay. you have to return it to get the science no need to dock with other craft and no capability to do so. have fun

May 1, 2015

i don't know how effective this would be, but maybe you could go on prograde orbit and later rotate it around 180Ã‚Â°? i mean if he is near jool this is maybe not so expensive in comparison?

April 29, 2015

I really like this ideas a lot. This could also justify a buildup time for rockets and planes in career. So it will take some days up to some months for assembling and preparing the launchsite.

This could be fun, but in case of assembling time a simlulation mode would be required, to be able to test constructions before actually lining them in for construction and mission control

Yes. I really like the idea of making time meaningful.
Things that could cost time (ie. you need to burn time to get them):
Technology developments
Flight time to distant objects
Receiving regular "budget" payments
Performing long-term science in space
Things that could make you want to avoid burning time:
Running out the time limit on contracts you've taken
Missing a fixed window on limited-time contracts
Meeting certain required per-year/quarter program goals in order to receive regular budget payments
Missing launch windows to distant objects
I'd love to see things like this balanced in order to give the player incentive to both run multiple missions at once, but also need to burn time in the right way in order to get things done. Burn a few years without doing anything in order to get better technology or hit a special launch window and you'll lose all your funding, but pack too many missions in quickly and you'll run out of money and have no new technology. You'll have to actually do a little bit of planning on what you're going to do when: Figure out how you're going to do your contracts for funding, and then look at what you can plan around that, like get an ambitious mission going that will generate science over a long period of time, and then do a couple of quick launches for cash or prestige over the course of a year while the long-term mission flies.
That's a space program!

April 28, 2015

You can accomplish the tourist contracts regardless. Put them one by one in orbit, it will work, use a probecore to bring them back. More grinding though, but it will do the trick.

I have unlocked several 45 science nots yet and one 90 not. Did a mun flyby with a small craft. I really like the parttests, they force for some creative vessels if you intend to

accomplish as many as possible in one flight

Anyway, career is not what i imagined either, never was. I have to constantly force myself to feel the immersion, i am not immersed by the game, which is really sad. But i haven't

put much thought into it yet so i don't have a viable suggestion on how to improve this part of the game. I really like the idea and the feeling of unlocking stuff, after a succesful mission.

This always makes me feel as if the new tech is a result of that mission, which is exactly what i like most about the idea of a career mode, well, maybe this is the reason why i like

parttesting so much

Good discussion so far.

April 28, 2015

Hi,

i created this little rocket during my current career game. Nothing fancy. But i quickly realised that it is really good for training purposes in KSP1.0.

I only managed to get twice in a 90km orbit around kerbin, after 15+ launches and failed most of the time to achieve an orbit at all.

Maybe i am just bad at this game, but i am playing since .19 i think, so there is at least some basic knowledge in my head .

With this craft you have to burn and ascend very effective(i think ) in order to achieve orbit.

I managed to have 3-5 units LF(and equivalent oxidizer of course) left in 90km orbit, so there is not much room for error

Anyway, try out for yourself if you like. Thought it might be useful to others. Have fun.

Dear Mods, if this doesn't justify a single thread, please merge.
