[Another thing you did not know about the Kerbals, ...]

So, how easily does it flip while turning - and at what speed do the wheels fall off?

and... are there racing circuits on the low gravity planets?? That could get interesting!

[What was the last thing you did in .19?]

I tried ... and repeatedly failed... to get 300T of spare fuel up.

[Yay for Duna!]

I just made my first (successful) duna landing a minute ago!

[How would I use lights effectively?]

don't get too overzealous with them, especially the spotlight ones... too many illuminating the same area can basically obscure details in a white-out, and give some glitchy graphic rendering (areas flip-flopping). I like to use the square ones (softer light, more diffused) to illuminate the craft, and spotlights (tighter, brighter beam) to illuminate outwards

[Staging in VAB]

The issue #1, with a single item 'jumping out of it's grouping' seems to be related to picking an item back up and placing it down again.

Ex, if you place an SRB in quarter symmetry, you'll see the icon with #4. If you then grab one of the items to move it around, then place it again, that one item's icon will now seem to be out of the group on it's own.

Makes it a slight p.i.t.a for stage arrangements. But often if you leave the VAB or otherwise get the ship out of memory and reload it, all isolated items will be listed as grouped again.

[The flying Gas Pumps!]

nice, i'll have to try that. When you put multiple copied of the same ship up, do you need to save each one as a separate craft? (like I said, somewhat new to KSP)

[The flying Gas Pumps!]

tried KSP a while ago. got HOOKED.

Needless to say, I find my space program expanding rapidly. Missions requirements becoming ever more complex, I've come to notice the need for a fuel-station in space.

And the problems with getting it there. Fully loaded, she's a bit heavy. And there was a tendency for the symmetric fuel pods to break off during liftoff.

But after several failed attempts to get into orbit, I finally just glued on enough SRB's (and 6 Matriarch's doesn't hurt) to get her up.

So, flying gas pumps. I'd love to see how others have solved the problem. How much can you get up?
