Too many boosters, too little brain - that was my problem! Thanks so much guys, I just panicked that it was working before but not after the update and only thought it must be a rocket design flaw (which is pretty flawed to begin with). Much much appreciated. Back to KSP now

When I build a simply 2 stage design to go into orbit its fine and control in space is normal as expected. Its just weird that without me doing anything it starts to tilt and as a result spins out.

The image above shows the point of no return when it starts to tilt and within seconds spirals out of control. I've tried a new design and when I keep it at full thrust the same happens, but when its kept to about 50% thrust its fine (no boosters on it). Could it possibly be what you mentioned that with boosters it can't be controlled and the high accelleration somehow is affecting it? what confused me more was that this issue arised not with 1.0 but 1.0.2 update.

Here's an image of the rocket design in question what happens is that it starts to tilt even though it is going straight up, then just spins out and there is nothing I can do about it

Hi all, -- please help! -- Heres my question = Why does my rocket lose control at around 5-6k (note that at the time of 1.0 release it had 4 more boosters at first stage but no problems reaching the mun) Just a quick background on my issue.... couple of days ago when 1.0 was released I opened up ksp and played as usual (with added excitement of course), no problems at all with ship design or reaching orbit or anything. After 1.0.2 - I used the same design but this time couldn't reach past 50k without it tilting slowly and then spiralling out of control. --- first thing that comes to my mind is elements of drag, design symmetry, fuel payload imbalance, - but all seems fine (seems so), and it worked a day before but not after? Since then I have tried all I can think of. Added and took off various parts, changed to very basic design, but anything that has the potential to bring me anywhere near the mun spirals out at around 30-40k. I've even reinstalled the game and started fresh. Im hoping that its just the gameplay has got more difficult - in any case - any help is greatly appreciated
