Thanks, that's helped a lot

Okay so I've been playing constantly for a while now and have made a number of Semi-Succesfull Mun landings along with my first Proper Mun Base, pre assembled in orbit. Now I've downloaded the Remote Tech pack and I was impressed, especially with the Plane Drone. Now to test it's funtionality on a Planet with an Atmosphere, I used Hyper Edit to drop it into Duna's orbit, but then it won't move, only the Context Menu stuff works. So I built a space station with lots of Anntena on it and dropped it into Kerbin orbit but it wn't work there either. Any ideas/tips?

Ooooh. I was fiddling with part clipping but only thought you could attach stuff to wheels. All I want is to make a basic Launch Vehicle that can send a Probe/Rover/Lander to Mun, at least at this stage

Thanks! This helps a lot. I used to experiment with Asparagus Staging but abandoned it after 0.18. Stupid I know. I contemplated using Mechjeb but I first want to build up my skills before using an assist

So I'm not that new to KSP, probably been playing it since late last year. In that time I've had countless save games, at least a Dozen Satelites orbiting Kerbin in that time, two successful Mun landings and countless failures. I see many people build massive things to get into space while I struggle just getting out of orbit. So all I need are some good tips, maybe some ideas for a Delivery Vehicle for Small and Medium sized payloads, construction tricks, useful mods, et cetera. Even some nice screenies of your vessels/bases/landers/rovers has helped me out immenselly. I'm currently using Fire Spitter Propellers, KAS Mod and HL Airships

So my first "succesfull" Munar landing with the new update didn't go as planned Here it is pre-launch (for some reason I didn't get any pictures of the flight) Here are the end results. I accidentally quicksaved about 800ms away from the ground going at about 160m/s and the stupid rover weighed the one side down so after numerous retries this was the only time it didn't completely explode Mermund was happy at least I ended up landing in a Moerse Crater (Afrikaans for Huge)

So here is my Kerbin Explorer, has a Push engine and two electric engines. Works really well, a bit slow but that's fine It was originally just a prototype but it worked so well so yeah. The plan was to land it on top of a mountain and watch the balloons slowly take off from the Space Center but that didn't work too well

So my first self built Munar Lander didn't land too well, I accidentally quicksaved about 800 metres off the ground, and hit quite hard. Here's what it looked like before launch (I also attached a Probe which worked well, the rover I didn't get to test :'( ) And here it is after "Landing" Mermund was ecstatic to have survived the crash at least Now to just build a vehicle to retrieve him Here he is standing next to his only companion for the next few years until help arrives. He can't get back into the ship so he has a long wait ahead of him

Would this allow me to drop pre-built ships into orbit around any Solar Body?

Wow, I've been fiddling with this for a while now and built myself a nice Kerbin Explorer. As soon as I get my USB stick back I'll post some screenies. I'm proud of it. However, recently I seem to have lost the knack of getting anything either into Orbit or onto the Mun. I think it is probably due to seeing all Y'alls designs and trying to built bigger and better. Think I'll give the game a break for a while and start over with a simple satelite and work my way up. Great mod, and I enjoy seeing other peoples creations. Also, I see this build didn't include the Pre-Built craft, I was hoping to use one as a example to get to Duna

This is great. I've given KSP a break for a few days until the mods I want are updated. I tried this out though and it is amazing, but my brain can't think of anything useful to build yet so will wait until HL's airship mod is fully fixed

I'm not quite sure if I'm reading it right but are the sounds fixed now for Windows?

Thanks so much guys. I read somewhere that if you "filled" a rigid airframe with a vacuum it will do very well on a planet with a atmosphere but the amount of reinforcing required will weigh the airship down to much I'd think. Too bad you couldn't do the same the other way round Excellent, as soon as this mods Textures have been fixed and KAS has been updated I shall begin the experimenting

This looks great, but I have some questions: Would these airships be able to work on planets/moons with no atmosphere? Like Mun and such? Would I be able to use a airship to lift up a rocket high enough to be launched from the edge of space to conserve on fuel? (A lot of precious fuel is wasted trying to get into orbit so if I can lift a rocket into orbit that will make things much easier) And the most important questions of all What mods are required to make this work/to be used properly? And does weight affect the balloons in any meaningful way?

Hey all. I'm a bit new to the forum, but not new to KSP. See my thread in the newcomers section. I made an IMGUR account specifically for KSP so here is my Rover and the lander it's attached to: The Skycrane setup has gone through at least four iterations and the current model is still not good enough. The Lander seems to land well on Kerbin so hopefully on a low gravity planet/moon it will perform better. I have no idea how I'm going to get it to the Mun at this stage but hopefully someone here can give me some pointers. I'm having more fun experimenting than I was when just building and launching Satelites

I discovered KSP a few months back and I love it! I've built many failed rockets, landers, rovers, probes, stations etcetera but have been more sucessfull as of late. My last profile had six or so objects in orbit (okay, three were prebuilt ships from the KW Rocketry Mod but still). After the last update I have been experimenting like crazy, trying to build a working Lander/Skycrane/Rover Delivery system. After a few hours of tweaking I've come up with a basic yet effective lander, a nice rover and a somewhat finicky Skycrane. I feel so stupid when seeing the complex things others have built These are my milestones to date: Succesfull Entry into space Succesfull Orbit Unmanned Probe in Orbit around Kerbin Manned Ship in Orbit around Kerbin Unmanned Probe in Orbit around Mun Unmanned Probe in Orbit around Sun Unmanned Probe landed on Mun Manned Lander landed on Mun I've essentially given up on Planes, at least until the KAS, Airships to Other Planets, Fire Spitter Propellers mods get updated for .20
