  1. You can never be addicted to the final frontier! DISCLAIMER: The above statement is false.
  2. Yes! -You should only worry about overheating if it blows up your engine. I have not seen any overheating explosions in recent updates, but I have heard the RAPIER is prone to overheating. -Asparagus staging will help you quite a lot in the early part of this steep learning curve, but some see it as cheating/unrealistic. (I find it ugly) -VAB construction works with a "tree," in other words every part is connected to one adjacent part, all leading back ultimately to a root part. This means no rings, nets, etc. (It is possible, but requires docking ports and a tolerance for very low framerate) -"Moar boosters" is not always a good idea, struts are your friend. That's about all to tell without a full orbital tutorial. Have fun! EDIT: The "edge" of the atmosphere can be measured by where you can timewarp at 5x.
  3. Stations serve no purpose... except fun! What is the point of anything in this game, anyway? It's a sandbox! Go have fun! I have, to date, never finished a station with >3 modules.
  4. Very, very carefully. Seriously, consider either onion or KW. I do not see any way to get that up with serial staging otherwise. You could, of course, stack an absurd number of Mainsail stages atop each other using welding plugin!
  5. I'm interested in that big C-130-esque plane at the end.
  6. I spent 18 minutes and 22 seconds chasing a nonfunctional bomber to its eventual doom: What am I doing with my life?!
  7. -Try a shallower glide, remember to flare before landing. I like to keep it off the ground for as long as possible before touchdown, that ensures a safe landing. -Touch down only when under 45m/s if you can help it to ensure that your crew survives in the event of Rapid Unplanned Disassembly. -Always put parachutes on your airplane/spaceplane. If it flies like a lawn dart, you're safe!
  8. I built a plover! Or maybe it's a rane... ^nah, no weather yet. Whatever, it works!
  9. PR-1 "Just an Aeris 3A with some extra stuff bolted on" "Now with Airbags!"* While the wheels are in odd positions... ...They fold out to make a rover, thanks to Infernal Robotics! No .craft posted; the plane is awful and the rover is awfulerer. As a proof of concept, however, it works well enough. I wonder if this would be practical on a Laythe SSTO... *runs off* *Airbags not functional
  10. *Guy helldiver, if you really can't find anything soon, would you consider RPM for a placeholder MFD?
  11. Cupcake-style VTOL family: Also a shuttle, cargo bay doors by Infernal Robotics: Warranty void if ugly.
  12. Hello again! This game is still fun, though that isn't too surprising
  13. *had I remember this album, I think Nova said the project has been abandoned a long time ago, so no crystal moon. It would be a much-welcomed addition, though.
  14. I landed a spaceplane. Safely. There were no problems whatsoever upon landing, certainly not involving flimsy landing gear. DISCLAIMER: Was found in file: "Do not send to press"
  15. To the farlands! No, wait... Probably a few km at most, around KSC
  16. Thrust/Weight Ratio ratio? Good craft, what's its electricCharge capacity?
