So, I've been playing for a couple weeks, and I'm currently trying to land on the Mun; however, being a noob, I've run into some difficulties, so I'm hoping you guys can help me out. This is the ship I've been using: [URL]http://pastebin.com/6ASKMhuu[/URL]
It's being flown by 1-star pilot Jeb.
These are the problems I've been having:
[LIST=1]
[*]My electrical charge is constantly draining, even when SAS is turned off, so I'm empty by the time I reach the Mun (I don't have solar panels yet). Is something else draining my juice?
[*]Although I have managed to safely land on the Mun a couple times, every time I haven't had enough fuel to return home. (And I can't send a rescue ship because the whole reason I'm landing on the Mun is to get science so I can build a rescue ship to save Valentina and a couple of tourists from Minmus orbit.) Am I running out of fuel because of my design, or because I'm not doing a good job of flying it? Could an experienced player fly this ship to the Mun and back?
[*]Relating to the previous problem, I'm trouble flying my ship the way wiki and video tutorials are telling me. For example, I've heard form some sources that I should tilt over 45 degrees once I reach 10km. However, although my ship's design is similar to those I've seen in videos, it starts to somersault if I tip over more that 15 degrees before I reach 30km. Again, is this because of my ship or me?
