  1. Thank you for your kind words Deddly. This forum was the first social media I joined because the place is so friendly and helpful. I feel very proud to be given the responsibility to uphold the standards of the Best forum on the web.

    Я оставил ваш первый пост на английском здесь: 

    Я создал эту новую тему из второго поста, написанного вами на русском языке (оригинал к первому) в русскоязычном разделе форума. Сообщения должны быть сделаны на английском языке за пределами международных подписчиков.

  3. The forum does not host images so you will need to upload them to a storage service.  I use imgur but you should be able to use any image hosting service.  Once you have uploaded your image, you click the 'insert other media button' in the bottom left and link you should see your image embedded in the post.  So far as I know, however, posting albums from imgur do not work so it's best to link to the images individually.

  4. Welcome to the forum, @Oliver Kerman.

    One of the rules for posting challenges is that you must attempt do it yourself.  Note: that doesn't mean you have to succeed because a 10 kerbal Eve return is a really hard challenge.

    Just as a side note: the comic sans font hurts the eyes and offends the hearts of some internet users.

    Good luck.

  5. Great looking station, Mate! 

    Too much drag at the top is the problem.  One thing that might help - try adding the boosters radially to the station rim and then offsetting them upwards as far as you can (just in case you didn't know, holding down shift while offsetting extends the range).  Actually cheapest lifter to orbit for this design might make a good challenge and generate some interesting designs.

  6. Welcome to the forum, @Ron Devu.

    SRB's (specially the longer ones) tend to have a small area that will connect to radial decouplers.  The trick to get them where you want them is to move them up and down along the decoupler until it looks like they jump out a bit and place them there (even if they do not connect where you want them).  Once you have them connected you can either click the radial decoupler and move the booster/decoupler assembly where you want it or use the offset tool:

    You can use it to either move the decoupler or the SRB to where you want it.  Pro tip: if you hold down shift while you offset a component you get a much greater field of movement.

  7. Congratulations on your successful Minmus crash, @FreshHotEngines.

    As 5thHorseman mentions Minmus has a lower gravity than the Mun so any rescue will require less propellant.  If you aren't comfortable with rendezvous, landing on Minmus is actually easier than on the Mun (particularly if you crashed on the flats or are close to one of them).  Minmus landings don't require as much propellant as the Mun but it sounds like you need to carry more propellant than your first design. 

    Are you playing in sandbox, science or career?

  8. G'day Mate.  I just had a look at my joining date and found that I've just passed 3 years as a member of this great forum (although I was a guest for a year or so before stealing ideas and designs being inspired by other players creations and knowledge). :wink:
