I can't remember exactly. I think it was somewhere around £17.

You learn something new every day.

Yes, if you are into space planes and planes in general , FAR is by far the best mod for you. More accurately calculated aerodynamics mean you can use fewer wing surfaces, making for more efficient, sleeker design. Also, you can run simulations directly in the hangar while building the plane. This is usually enough (at least for me) to nail down your aerodynamics on the first try, and than just iron out any quirks in just a few test flights. I personally have resigned to using the B9 cargo bays for now. I have only installed those parts (as installing the whole B9 makes KSP unplayably slow). Here is one of my newest designs. Using the smallest cargo bay, it is capable of placing a full 1 ton of payload into 100 km orbit. You can see I was testing it on two 0.5 ton RCS tanks. Happy building!

That's.... a lot of fuel... This gets the probe all the way to the Eve surface... As theend3r said, use some air breathers and you can easily ditch both the boosters and the orange tank.

Pray tell, which part from stock did you use for the cargo bay? Edit: Oh and I agree, SSTO's are very doable. Even before the era of SABRE engines. Here is one I made earlier (version 0.18). That thing in the front is the payload satellite, ready to be decoupled...

Funny, I have been designing my rockets ergonomically from the day one. I am really looking forward to the money mechanics, and have been for many months.

@flixxbeatz: You have a lot of air intakes. Is that just to keep with the original design? I have previously tried ion powered gliders, but My PC was dying from the part counts (lots of solar panels).

I decided to redo the Huges XF-11 I made last year, this time in 0.23. I think it turned out fairly decent... Thank you for the Firespitter mod! Its always fun to play around with the propellers

I know how you feel

I would NOT want to be the pilot in that thing.

At least its just a single thread this time. We (the comunity) are getting better at this

502 bad gateway error ... It looks like the forum IS overloaded....

Lets face it, the hype is always too damn high. At least this time someone had the foresight to create a waiting thread, instead of a thousand "is it out yet" threads...

People, please!

Scott uploaded preview of 0.23

I think Yarg said just b4 the kerbalkon started that pretty much all of the mods were broked with 0.23

This thread is growing faster than I can read it

I am not sitting at all!! I am packing my suitcase and hitting refresh every time I pass the keyboard...

Oh I love elevator music!

I gather you haven't seen the movie Galaxy Quest than

Wasn't that thing called Omega 13?

Do you guys think the optimizations mentioned earlier would be enough to run KSP on my laptop? I have tried 0.22 but it goes about 10 FPS in the VAB....

I sure hope it comes out in earlier rather than later. I travel home for Christmas tomorrow morning for a MONTH. I would like to at least test a bit the Sabre engine before I leave.

Even if they just included the plain Kethane mod as is, I think that would make a lot of people happy...
