I feel ashamed for the community for some of the posts on that thread Just because its not always obvious what someone is doing doesn't mean that they aren't doing it. KSP is one of the best games I've ever played despite its early development status and the staff and moderators are always very open and helpful about what is going on. If they are currently unable to comment then there will be a good reason for it and patience is the only thing needed so people can get on with their jobs in peace.

I use enough struts to reduce the wobble on even large rockets to almost nothing. Though I've found that improperly putting struts on radial mounted engines can cause spinning the design in question has no radial parts.

Hi I've recently started using part clipping in some of my designs and this seems to be causing phantom forces to act on the ship. Mainly spinning but somtimes acceleration or simply ripping itself apart. Is it the clipping that causes this or is somthing else to blame? Thanks Comrade Jenkens

The more engines you have the lower the efficiency because of the mass the additional engines add. However I usually use at least 3 NERVA engines due to having not much patience or time for long burns. My warship designs are even less efficient and often use upwards of 10 NERVAs to increase the TWR to above 1 at the cost of range.

Though i'm a fan of plenty of shooters and war games, what makes KSP special is the fact that it is a purely peaceful game with a focus on building rather than destroying. Though i make plenty of warships in KSP this isn't the intent of the game and as it is developed more stuff will come along to make weaponry less and less nessecery to entertain people. More games need to be about building inventions and utalising the players creativitiy rather than mindlessly twitch shooting everything that moves. Saying all that does anyone know any other good physics building games other than GMOD and KSP. These are the only two that i know of that really let your imagination be the only limit

OMG!!! count me in I've lost all my saves so i'm going to have to start constructing a new Navy

Hope you didnt lose to much I got deleted as well

Talk about speed building, took about 3 minutes to put this together Ok i present the GN-1A Gunship. It is a light patrol ship for use in kerbins SOI. It has 10 weapons hardpoints and has 6 NERA engines to power it through space both fast and effieciently. The Booster system is easy to use, powerful and not at all prone to structural failure. Forgot to add sepatrons to the tanks are rather close to the ship on seperation

Despite not really being an active KSP member atm (as well as just finding out my profile had been eaten by some kind of space monster), i'll just go and whack together a warship to help revive this place. I hope donlokiman appears soon as his designs were great Edit: OMG first post............... agin
