Ok, for all the modules you dock together you should always try to keep them as low part as possible. You will only need RCS on the Main Part, so you maybe want to put RCS Fuel+Thrusters onto your Module with radial decouplers so you can throw them away after you docked. (for part count and less wobble at rcs use) And it looks cool if you have lights on your station and maybe a network of ladders so you can climb to every Module for Repairs and such things. (Cosmetic only) Components: Main Part with most of the docking ports for the other Components so you already know how the station will look like when you attach the modules. Solar Module Fuel Module (Several Orange Tanks + Several Big RCS Tanks) (Probably needs more than one launch) Crew Habitation Module (Hitchhiker Containers etc.) Heavy lighted arrangement of Docking ports (Senior, Normal and Junior) so you can dock onto your station with every craft you build. (The lights are for the sake of seeing the docking port when flying towards it). I hope this helps you, good luck

Well then Happy Birthday to the guy that makes me do transfer burns close to the object I'm orbiting for definetly good reason that I'm not so sure about what they are xD

Those clouds on the image look way too good in comparison to the ksp graphics, i dont think they will be implemented right now.

100 Kerbals mean 25 Hab Modules. You could build 5 Towers with 5 Hab modules either stacked or sidely attached, whatever you like more, then only solarpanels a probe core, landing legs and parachutes (you should mount them detachable on your towers with radial decouplers and trusses, so you can destroy them after you landed). If you keep your designs low on parts your colony could be between 100-300 parts which is definetly playable. Tip: If you want to save some time waiting for transfer windows to duna, dock all towers together in kerbin orbit, like a train. Attach a big interplanetary tug on the end and send them all at once to duna. Once on Orbit, send and land one module at a time every orbit, just begin your deorbit burn(this stage can be designed to be detachable too) at the same position everytime so you hit your colony location.

I've been looking through the challenge section for a few days and i've seen that about half of the challenges are from people with >25 Post who havent read the challenge guidelines at all and arent even close to their ingame experience to post real challenges here. There are dozens of challenges which arent really challenges like "Glider Challenge, Glide as far as possible + 10 more of those gliding challenges all useless due to the aerodynamical system in ksp. Or bring one,three,five... Orange tanks into LKO. There was once a challenge about who brings the most and that challenge should stay the only one of that kind. We should either make a minimum post count to write challenges, so the people get familiar with challenges and how they should be made before posting useless ones or a challenge section for less experienced players. Sorry if i have been too direct, but it had to be said. Thanks.

Yeah, I'm pretty much in your position for like ~3 weeks. Since then i try to do figure out some rather big projects. For example try to get as many Orange Fuel Tanks into Orbit as possible (one of the easier ones) or (for the harder ones) Build a Colony "Train" in Kerbin Orbit (docking multiple colony modules together in a train formation with a Interplanetary Tug at the end) and send+land it on Duna or Eve (Parachutes). The last one was actually never finished and is still floating around in Kerbin Orbit waiting for the interplantary tug because it has 6 different Modules (3 Homes, 1 Kethane Miner, 1 Fuel Rover, 1 Small Space Station for Duna Orbit) and over 500 Parts, making it unplayable

What did you think would happen? You stabbed the Kraken with a flag and then tried to get away with it

Even if they fix a lot of the bugs, there will always be enough more. Maybe in the next updates (career mode) there will be kerbals smuggling onto your ship sabotating stuff. (Ofcourse we wouldnt see them, just a random explanation for future bugs )

Learned that the hard way xD. I once put a satellite in orbit around minmus. Hit almost perfect 25x25km, then decoupled the fueltank+engine of course and the satellite went to a 25x140km orbit

This thread was a nice idea, its funny and solves some of the players issues

you can place a one of those 1x1/2x2 plates on the docking ports end and then you can place to fuel tank onto it.

I didnt know that , i think you just saved me from possible future heart attack. Thank you

you can double/rageclick (double doesnt work all the times) on jool and the map view will say "Focus Jool" (or sth like that) and you can see where you are heading.

The not Yet implemented lock parts option in the VAB. Everytime i almost finished my supermegahuge Asparagus Lifter with hundreds of parts (which will most likely not going into the air anyway, but I still try everytime) and i begin strutting it, i hit the root part and while trying to reattach it the vab goes nuts placing stuff everywhere but the right places.

*Jellyfish might now be the best name for it, just came to my mind at the moment i build it dont know why xD Here is the Jellyfish I It flies like a charm, very stable and very maneuverable, but i thought it could need more speed. So here it goes: The Jellyfish IV If kept stable it still flies, but not so well to maneuver If you ever build a plane or rocket with some ridiculous moar booster designs, show us
