Awesome thanks!

When flying a rocket my 5 year old likes to say "Look at the driver Daddy!" When I clicked C while in the shuttle cockpit I got a black screen. I read it is not finished. Fair Enough. Is there a MOD that I can use in the meantime that would give it some nice internals?

when i go to broadcast my science I get an error that it will cause the science package to become inoperable. what is the deal. we already can only brodcast a small amount of the original anyway. am i doing something wrong with broadcasting?

Ok so I build a small ship and I put a goo container on it. I open the goo container when I leave the pad high in the upper atmo. I close it and proceed on to almost orbit... I open the goo again and..I cant use it? or it erases the last data I took I really don't get how the science is supposed to work I tend to put 30 or so goo containers on my ship and open one at a time as I approach a new area or thing... but then I have to somehow get all that back to the surface because my modual will only hold one or two experiments? /sigh back to sandbox love the game. I can build ships that can go anywhere in the system in sandbox but career just kicks me in the face.

at least fuel is free for the moment....

I snagged one and I am bringing it in to a 100km orbit. I am almost there. So far I have used 3 orange tanks with 2 nervas attached with a total burn af about 1.5 hours so far. Now that it is closer I just sent up a new ship with tons of fuel and a big ass engine to try and bring it the rest of the way in. I am addicted! Are there bigger rocks than D to grab?

can we somehow shrink the light fixtures themselves?

I did the Mun one in real time durring the Xmas Holidays. it was fun.

confirmed.

I name them after German Rock Numbers.. Einstein, Zweistein, Dreistein, Vierstein

nm I figured it out thanks what it was is that for some reason the rocks where not showing up in my save game. Once I created a new save game they where all there. I transfered my new ship to the approriate directory and tada! I had my first rock within a couple hours.

clicked on the little rock icon in the tracking station and the ? and nothing is showing up zoomed all the way out and back in ...restarted the game twice

So far I am able to open a good portion of the tree. Enough that I am able to get to the moon. But when I return I only had like 30 science. My goo containers break now? I can no longer get any points for eva reports beyond the very first eva? How do I know where the "bioms" are? So far I am launching capsules to different parts of the globe but only recover 1.5 to 3 points per landing? I can get anyplace in the system and land on just about any body but this career thing is kicking my butt. I do'nt know what to do next after each mission I dont have any direction to go. I just shoot rockets in different directions with no structure. When I use the goo containers I then reset them. is this erasing the last collection? I ahve hit a wall and finding it hard to come up with the 90 or so points I need for my next open. edit forgot to ad that I look at the science page and it shows what I have done. Are the little bars that fill up mean that I can still do it again if it is not full?

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c01959711#N190 mY difference is that I am running a 1gig Nvidia card and a 500w power supply but the rest is stock.

I just had the greatest idea ever! (prolly not original) i put two more engines back on facing retro and made an action group... now I dont have to spin the whole mothership to slow down! I love this game.

Ive reduced it down to two engines. the drive section alone is 152 tons fueled. I am putting it up nearly empty at 52 tons and will send up tankers to fuel it up for its journey. running the engines at full will give me just about 1h 45 mins of burn time. I will also have a living space for 10 kerbals and four full sized landers....i will post the sucker in the mothership thread when I am finished building it.

I am building a mothership in orbit that will have roughly 3+ hours of Delta-V. I read here that if you run more than one nuke, that all you do is waste fuel. However, for balance purposes, I need to have FOUR nukes mounted on my ship... If I run them at max 25% on each engine, will it be the same as running ONE at 100% or will I only be doing 25% of the max thrust period? I have been trying to wrap my mind around this one but cannot resolve the issue. thanks

I told my wife not to play KSP because she would become too good at it! She over excels at every game she touches!

good job ! ok yeah it seemed to be a glitch the whole not moving thing. Now, I just need to keep it from exploding down the runway

I'll see if I can get a screeny at my break time.....

Ive been trying to make a plane with the engine mounted atop the airplane like in Porco Rosso. However when I do this the plane will not even roll forward even at full thrust! I have built both jet powered and spitfire mod versions with props. nothing works it just sits there burning fuel and never moves. (no brakes of course!) has anyone had any luck?

Was using the wrong fairings... the "yellow" ones are indeed the jettisoning ones. Thanks

I get how to place the base. and how to connect the faring parts. (LOOKS FANTASTIC WITH FAIRINGS!!!) I pretty much recreated Space x dragon lifter to put things into geosync orbit. Now I want the nice covers for the sat. I get to where I am going but I see no way of jettisoning the fairings once I am ready to do so. the base nor the fairings themselves have any actions in the action group settings no do they show up in the staging.

My co-workers told me while we where watching the launch "that game you play at lunch looks better then what they are showing us"

Manually get to Mun, Minmus, Duna, and eve. Once you have done that imagine your Kerbals inventing the flight computer. Not all of the maneuvers MJ does are DV efficient. Thus requiring you to plot your course manually anyway or adjust what it has done. Also get Protractor mod. I like MJ because I can launch my workhorse rocket and go do something else while it gets to orbit. I know it works, I have flown it manually 100's of times now, I will let the computer do it.
