I'm not tired of games. What I'm tired of is the way they just keep putting out the same games with new names tacked on and ever more progressor-clogging graphics crammed in even though that adds nothing to gameplay. I'd be playing right now if I had anything besides KSP that didn't feel like I played it years ago under a different name.

Hello Dan Yovich. Welcome to the game and to the forum.

Are you using jet engines? Can we see pics of your ship?

Sorry, but once other peopled have posted in a thread, their posts are not yours to delete. I have, however, closed the thread for you.

Thread closed by request of OP.

It's more advantageous to bring the scientific instruments back, it's true. But there are still times when you don't need the additional mass of a piloted capsule to do that, or you don't have the tech to make a roundtrip and don't want to send Kerbals on suicide missions, in which case transmitting is better than nothing.

Hello TheSquirrelPatrol, and welcome to our community. By the way, this forum has a sub-section for mission reports, if you'd like to post them where other players can find them easily.

It's not clear what you're asking for, I'm afraid. Did you want this thread moved? Or has it served its purpose and can be closed?

I think most replies are missing OP's intention. He seems to be talking about using jets at multiple points on an interplanetary flight, which does not promise to be very advantageous. Laythe is the only other world which has an atmosphere that allows jets to generate thrust at all, but even there, they will be less powerful than on Kerbin. In other words, after you leave Kerbin's atmosphere, any jet engines you're carrying will be more hindrance than help.

Somebody's been busy. That's never stopped you before.

Sadly, no. Ships are only fully rendered when you get within 2.25kms of them. Otherwise, they are little more than moving points in space.

Squad has said many times that Kerbals are genderless. You are free to interpret some of the randomly generated names as feminine, and you can even edit your saves and give them female names if you want, but officially, they are neither male nor female. And as hard as it may be to believe, this subject has started some of the forum's nastiest arguments and is actually listed as a forbidden subject to suggest implementing in the game, so let's please be careful about keeping this discussion from derailing.

Earth's moon crosses the length of its own diameter in about 8 minutes. Of course, that's a visual thing almost entirely due to earth's rotation rather than Moon's motion against the background sky, but it is quite noticeable if you're patient.

I was assembling my ships at a shipyard for a while. It does look spiffy, but the station adds to the ship's part count and lag quickly becomes insane, so I just assemble my ships in orbit now.

Yeah, as has been pointed out, the old tower is not entirely gone. Go visit KSC2.

"Free" is one of the four camera settings you can advance through with the V key, giannis1996, or are you asking for one of the camera mods?

There is a sub-forum for suggestions about game development, which this thread (Presto!) now occupies.

An engine that is not firing is dead weight, holding the ship back and reducing fuel efficiency. Either don't put them on there in the first place, or fire them all every time.

How fast are you going when they break, and how large is your ship?

Well, we certainly do not condone pirating the game, but you are not the first person who liked it so much as to repent by buying a legitimate copy. Congratulations on redeeming yourself.

Hello bowfonz. And yes, your first few posts must be approved by a moderator so we know you're not a sneaky spambot, but soon you'll be converted to a full member. So, be chatty.

Hello Rekilein. Most people don't play the demo for long before deciding to buy the game. You won't regret it. (Unless your grades start to slip.)

There is a sub-forum for mod help and advice, and this thread is being whisked there even as I type this.

Thread moved to gameplay questions, where it is more likely to receive helpful attention.

Since OP's question has been answered and this thread is in the wrong sub-forum, it's closing time.
