    Asteroid Station / Catching your own Moons

    in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials

    Posted

    Hi :)

    I've played the game for quite a while now, i've buld stations and have been to Jool to. Now i'm fokussing on Asteroids. And i have 3 Questions, some of you can maybe answer me :)

    1. I mostly only find Class C and D Asteroids. Class E ones are quit rare are they?

    2. I want to catch myself an Class D or E Asteroid and bring it to low Orbit to build sort of a Base or Station on it. Do any of you have experience with that or have inspiring Asteroid Bases build? (Because i'm kinda always thinking about star wars like asteroid bases here :P:) )

    3. So I've already caught myself a Class D one and got it in a almost circular Orbit (as close as my skill level allows it haha). And i talked to a friend about it, if thats now a moon (natural satelitte) or a "unnatural" satelitte (since it was not captured by natural forces).  I would say it counts as a Moon, and my Kerbin now has 3 Moons :P What do you think about that? o.O

    Docking Ports Fuel Exchange?

    in KSP1 Discussion

    Posted

    hey :)

    I'm currently working on a interplanetary ship, to fly to Jool. My plan is to have multiple launches and dock the ship together in Kerbin Orbit.

    I have send up a Fuel Tank with docking ports so far. Now I'm gonna send up my engines and dock them.

    My question is: Does fuel transfer threw docking ports or do i have to connect it in some other way in order to have the fuel reach teh engine?

    Thanks in advance

    Space Shuttle or Buran

    Thanks for all those responses. didn't expect to get that much support so thank you:)

    I'm building it in sandbox mode, so there are no budget problems.

    As i expected i had major struggles getting the Thrust Vectors right. So for the first Orbital and reentry test i did put the Vehicle on top of a large rocket and lifetd sort of like it was the payload of a rocket (I'm stil planning on doing it the actual way, but this was so i could the my aerodynamics during reentry )

    Unfortunatly the Shuttle exploded during reentry. it always flips forward so it nose is in the flying directon, and than is all explodes. I don't know how to keep it lined up during reentry

    Space Shuttle or Buran

    hello :)

    I bought my self the game about two weeks ago and successfully landet on Mun and Minmus.

    Now I'm working on a Space Station which suprisingly has been successful to.

    Now I'm planning to build a Shuttle to fly to my Space Station.

    My question is: Should i build the Shuttle like a Space Shutte with a main fuel tank and two boosters or like a Buran with no boosters nor tank, but the Shuttle mounted on a huge rocket?

    Since I'm new to the game and pertty noobish, i thought it might be easier for me to build my shuttle buran style, so i have to worry less about the center of mass and thrust. But i'm really not sure...

    It would be cool if some better players could share their ideas about this.

    thanks in advance :)
