  1. Nice design. What you could do is have the six radial engines attach to the core pod with docking ports and quantum struts. Launch them with the pod on top and the engines packed in a cluster underneath then assemble in orbit with a tug. If you do that it will all fit inside a 3.75 meter expanded fairing. |||= engines O = command pod ---^--- --/--\-- -/----\- |--O--| |--|||--| |--|||--| -\____/-
  2. Your English is fine. I don't really see that many great horror games now days. Most big developers that try to make them end up attempting to cater for the lowest common denominator by holding the players hand and releasing a boring action game with no challenge, they often just pack in a load of cheap scares to justify its placement in the genre. If there are any good ones out there, they're probably hiding in the huge pile of today's indie games.
  3. The plane will spin if the center of thrust from the engine isn't aligned with the center of mass of the craft. Use the icons in the lower left corner of the SPH and VAB to find out. They only show for the stats for first stage though so you will need to adjust your staging to see the alignment for your rocket engine.
  4. Currently KSP needs to load all the parts onto your RAM upon launching the game so the more parts you have the longer it takes to load.
  5. If the topic comes up but there is so much to talk about that it can get boring in a social sense.
  6. Looks useful, I'll be keeping an eye on this. If you get auto-tagging sorted it will be on my download list.
  7. The problem with that is long-term low gravity can have bad effects on human development, if you neglected it you could fall seriously ill should you try and return to Earth. On topic: That the biggest obstacle for a larger scale of kerbal expansion is unity 3's limitations.
  8. The tutorial Aphox just posted looks like a winner, I'd go with that.
  9. Thanks Just design the lifter to be able to carry the extra weight and add some struts between the lander and service module to prevent craft-destroying wobble. Are you going for a saturn-v look with the lifter or does its appearance matter?
  10. Dry, warm and sunny. Very weird weather for Ireland and I can't enjoy it because of exams, typical bad luck.
  11. You need a docking port to connect with the ship but you can EVA your kerbal to safety if you get a rescue vessel close enough. There are a load of tutorials on this forum so you shouldn't have a problem with lack of information. Welcome to the forums!
  12. What are you actually asking? How to go to the moon with a lander and service module?
  13. Standard SAS has no effect as an automated steering device, it merely gives you more torque to control your ship. The ASAS always over-compensates and it uses all of the controls available to it to keep the craft on course. The nosecone ASAS is much more stable when used for flying, have you tried using that.
  14. Explosions are fun, getting to orbit with all Kerbals alive and well is also fun. The two usually conflict though so the results depend on my mood. Either way, kerbals are just our avatars since we control them and build all the rockets, so saying they want "MOAR BOOSTERS!" is really saying that we do.
  15. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/33889-How-to-install-mods-with-20?p=422415#post422415 Use the forum search.
  16. It doesn't work that smoothly unfortunately, the atmosphere doesn't scale even remotely close to the planet itself. The radius of the Earth is 6,731 km and while the radius of Kerbin is 600 km, the atmosphere only ends 30 km sooner. You're probably best going with the atmosphere scaling but you won't be able to get a perfect scale between the two universes due to the difference.
  17. Yes, because thats' much more likely. The developers wanted a few interesting planets with enough gravity to make the presence of their atmospheres believable but because the kerbol system is so scaled down they messed with the density of everything. The question is "Could Laythe actually exist with real physics?" and the answer is no, all of the elements of high enough density to make it possible just wouldn't exist in sufficient quantities to make up a planet let alone a whole system.
  18. Or KSP has its own physics laws because they don't follow real world physics when it comes to mass and gravity. Kerbin has a radius of 600 km, is it made of Osmium to get the Earthly 9.8m/s²?
