Lol, wats the max descent speed for the mun? My ascent fuel ran out and I had to jettison it, I touchdowned at 15 meters per second, and i was using RSC tanks, thouh landed safely and I\'m sending feed.

I increased his stupidy to 0.98 :3

[EDIT: ADDED MORE VIDEOS] Here are some screenshots of the mun rover, what I did was I dropped an altair engine from 5 meters, letting it destroy while I fired retro-boosters touching down at 9 meters per second, that cart has epic suspension: I tipped over the cart because I felt jebediah telling me to go full speed over that hill. But luckily i still angled the ascent engine up and fired away, believe it or not, my 1st mission with jeb since the demo 0.13 Here are some videos: http://beta.xfire.com/videos/58bada http://beta.xfire.com/videos/58baf1 http://beta.xfire.com/videos/58bb1e

Ok, This ship looks great, great design, the lunar lander has amazing amount of descent fuel, but, I have alot of trouble at liftoff, it tends to go to a certain side, like, not equal thrust of some sort. Does anyone know how to control it? the video at the KSP website.

After I lift-off, T+1:05:00, I reach 500 meters per second, I must burn 90 degreese then 270 because it flows with the orbit of kerban and is more efficient, After I get an encounter with the mun I make sure its a fly by, after I reach near the perapsis, I will look for my retro-grade on my NavBall, Then burn towards it to gain a somewhat eliptical orbit, After I get parallel with the landing sight [Light side, flat, etc.] I keep burning at my retrograde and my orbit will come down and become a drop-down After I reach 30,000 meters I must cut my speed in half. At an average of 650 meters per second from the drop down, I must burn down to 300, once I reach 20,000, I will keep burning on retro-grade to get rid of all lateral movement, At around 10,000 - or when I reach the surface on my NavBall, I should be down inbetween 40 - 50 meters per second, and no lateral movement, or very little. After I reach 4,000 meters I should start judging how far away I am from the ground, by doing that, I shall release the 2nd stage exposing the lander, and I should measure off the explosion/debree, By 2,000 meters I should start coming up really close to hills, I choose to land on the Sea of kerbility (That giantic grey crater) Which is relativly flat, around a max height of 50 meters. So I start my powered descent, no lateral movement, I\'m going no more then 20 meters per second, and I remain patient. One thing I learned from this game is that if you have no patience, you can\'t go far in it. So I start seeing my shadow by around a 150 meters, I start lowering the throttle, 5 meters per second, literally half a meter from touchdown, I increase throttle just a little, Kerbility base here. Jebediah is scared shitless. At 3.5 meters a second I manage even to scare jebediah, and finally make touchdown. So after I take some screenshots, scream a bit, I start gaining some lateral movement to explore the mun, with my max exploration rate of 3 meters. So I notice I have %5 of fuel left, I\'ll take what I have and use it ascent me off the mun, after that, I just push my speed to 800 meters a second for escape, but by 300 my descent fuel already ran out so I jettison it and fire my ascent engines 200,000 meters into the air, after I reach that rate of 800 meters a second and gain an escape tradjectory, I speed up a bit and get into my mun-like orbit with kerban, then aim towards my retro-grade and fire, untill my perapsis reaches 0 and I am now in a collision orbit with kerban, But I currently have no clue how to re-enter properlly, So I just let it flow, by the time I gain atmosphere and lose altitude, I deploy my parachute at 600 meters per second and slowing, Though Right when I touchdown I fire retro-boosters just incase, lowering my speed to 14 meters a second, touchdown, and K.I.A K.I.A K.I.A. Dafuq just happened? Jebediah is always alive in my heart

dang, I knew I was failling to fast so I fired my RSC tanks, I simply just have the MEM(Munar Escape/Excursion module) which is just the command pod, 9 RSC tanks, and the parachute cannister... Is that to heavy?

I don\'t know, I might be going to fast, 4 of my munar missions - 3 landings 1 crash landing On all I\'ve taken off and returned safetly, though, on 3/4 the parachute failed and i ended up crashing at 20 meters per second, is their some type of huge parachute?

Landed on the moon. 0% extra fuel. Didn\'t use mechjeb. Got home safetly.

You\'re right, but this opened a whole new window for moon bases, orbital probes, rendezvousing on the surface.

NO FUCK NO WHAT THE HELL I WILL FUCKING SUE HIDRA PARACHUTES FOR THIS!!!!! I SIGNED NO DAMN FORUM

Ok, Got in correct entry angle, Here is me opening the parachute

Yes! I aimed at the retro-grade, and fired my RSC tanks! and my orbit went down!

Dang, I\'m out of fuel and here is my return tradjectory:

I\'m out a fuel at my perapsis is 36k meters tall, I\'m trying to use my RSC tanks, if not, I\'m sending out a rescue mission D:

Touchdown at 11 meters per second, crashed again...

Ok, I burned at retrograde, got a great circular orbit, circled for a minute to think of my descent tradjectory, When I was going to release the 2nd stage to release the lander, it got stuck, it wouldn\'t break open i got really pissed...

Yup, the retro-grade worked like a charm, I had very little lateral movement, But I\'m wondering how to get into orbit once encounterd? I usually get a fly-by encounter and then get shot out, but at kerbin i just push a bit more so I can get a course-collision encounter. All I need is some practice and I can get a perfect landing, I\'m trying the columbus moonlander once or something. I\'ve landed before with the thunder-bird but I don\'t count it because it\'s not a real rocket 1200 mps inside earth atmosphere, 50000000000 fuel tanks, %0.01 consumption rate engines.

Ok, Did 1 last attempt, Was amazingly close everything went smoothly, touchdown to hard, Can someone tell me a good touchdown speed? I perfer to land at 20 meters a second due to low gravity, but it always end up breaking legs.

Oh, because I still have my space station orbiting kerban with a vehicle docked ( not really, i just got it to catch on the claw ) witch counts as 2 active space crafts

Does the game go by local time? Because I hate landing on the dark-side, I have no idea how far I am away from the ground, untill I\'m 2 meters above the ground going 400 meters per second.

Lol, I got a tradjectory dark side landing, I made an epic touchdown, but throttle was full so i technically landed, but then i had to turn sas off to actually hit the ground so i just took right back off and started spinning then crashed. I\'m gonna go again tomorrow once it\'s light or something, is that how the game works?

Ok. Whoever said burn at the retrograde, thanks. It worked like a charm, but once again, I got trolololo-d by the altitude meter, I once again thought to myself at 2.7k altitude 'Nah I\'ll be fine, don\'t waste fuel!' I was going 50 meters a second and crashed into munar surface, but, I went down completely straight. Thanks for the help guys, I\'m gonna do 1 last successful munar mission, wish meh luck. [tt]what the hell does this do[/tt]

I refuse to use mechjeb, tho it\'s a pain in the ass, though its fun and takes focus and skill.

Atleast I didn\'t kill them, I\'m trying with the nova now, just bcuzes.

I was on the opposit side of the vehicle, and I wasn\'t able to see the shadow, and my ship crashed and rolled everywhere. I have no idea how to stop lateral movement, Still failing at this. RAGE
