  1. I don\'t orbit Kerbin at all when I go for the mun. I think I figured out what the OP did by sheer trial and error; it definately is nice to see all the maths though
  2. I\'m flying it now and I like it! The only thing that is weird is that when I reach about 20 degrees to climb and hit the asas, the thing bobs up and down like crazy! How do you stop that?

  4. Hello everyone! Just got this game four days ago and wanted to stop by and make a contribution to The Kerbal Space Program The ABR-II It uses four LVT-30 and 1 LVT-45 Engines for liftoff purposes in the first stage which can reach about 90km in under 3 minutes if you go straight up. (When I took this image, I forgot to put my Gimbaling engine in the first stage, the uploaded CRAFT file has that little hick-up fixed.) During the second stage, the four LVT-30s are discarded and the LVT-45 is used to correct orbit and transfer to the Mun The third and final powered stage can be used for to get the Mun and return safely Extra notes: -The Third stage has only half a tank of fuel, so if you aren\'t careful you can run out fairly quickly -The second stage of the rocket can power you to the Mun if you plan it right and the third stage can actually get you into and out of a stable orbit with the Mun and even Minmus -The first stage has five boosters but only four of the gas tanks are used -ABR stands for 'Abraham' I intend to name my line of space vehicles using bible characters This vehicle could probably even be made to land on the Mun if it had some landing gear; My piloting skills and knowledge are extremely poor so far so I am content with just making countless passes of the Mun. I am trying to design now a ABR-III which will probably include landing gear on the final stage and replace the LV-45 for the 909. Still with this very minimalist build it would have to make use of slingshots and what not, something I really cannot do at the moment, seeing as I still have issues getting into Munar Orbit Alone XD.
