I decided to document my normal career mode playthrough after spending my first in easy and learning the basics. It is definitely a much larger challenge this time and makes me think much more about what I am putting up. Ive managed to get to Dres, Duna, Ike, Mun, Minmus, an Eve flyby, and fairly grasp rendevous (although I am sure not in the most efficient way).
This is a ps4 playthrough with DLC content and I am now in day 5 of Year 1. I have ground stations and CommNet in in hopes this will help ease some heavy framerate drops (the more part count I had in orbit with satellites and a refueling outpost the worse it got) by not having so many satellites in orbit for a network. I am still learning antennas so I am expecting obvious communication problems and welcome suggestions on low satellite count networks. I have done the basic grind of science in most of the biomes around KSC and others through the different launchpads.
Today I pickup on my first rescue missions (didn't bother in easy not understanding the value of free kerbals lol) and also attempting three at once. Should be fun!
My first of the three encounters lined up with jeb at the helm.
Got a trophy for this too!!
And now I have me a new scientist, meet Cernard Kerman lol
I'll be back with the next rendevous shortly! Going much better than I anticipated.
