I'm considering when or if I should get the expansion. However, is it possible to keep my old saves vanilla? That is, as they are now: Without other parts and so forth (I'm not sure what the expansion adds besides this).

If you zoom past Gilly in the sense that you cannot enter orbit (as opposed to mouse zoom), your approach is much too fast or your engines have a low thrust. Two things you could do: 1. try to match Gilly's orbit better (or at all) before even entering its soi. 2. You don't have to start braking at the periapsis, even though it's the most efficient use of fuel -- Oberth effect and all. You can start breaking when entering its soi, or even before you enter it (but then you have to figure out the correct vector). Also, make sure you have time warp (and physical warp) off.

Hi there. I wrote a small tool to allow for rapid prototyping of rockets before actually building them, as I like to tinker with the components until I get just the dv and accelearation per stage I want. Although I play without mods, I believe this does something similar to KER, but without the need to actually build the rocket. As the tool was getting more and more useful to me, I thought maybe other people might like it. So I made it public (and FOSS) and uploaded it to gitlab. I would love to get some feedback. It runs on python3 and I tested it under GNU/Linux, but I don't see why it shouldn't run on Windows/Mac. At its core it consists of a rather intuitive language for speciying staged rockets: 1t + t400 + reliant, 200kg + 2*rocko64 + mainsail (That's a stage 0 of 1t payload, an FL-T400 liquid fuel+oxigen tank and a LV-T30 Reliant engine, on top of a Stage 1 with 0.2t additional payload, two Rockomax Jumbo tanks and a Mainsail) It then prints all stats I found useful about the rocket (such as delta-v). There is a comprehensive README with more information, oh and it has auto-complete so you don't have to memorise all component names. This is what the output looks like for a rocket I built to go to Jool and back again: Also, I'm new here, btw. Hi to all.
