I was just looking for a few pointers on building a satellite, I have built one using the Kethane mod and i think it turned out pretty well, but i would love some input and hints from you folks. Here is what i managed to build.
The Kethane mod seems quite enjoyable actually! thank you! but just for reference if i put a scanning orbiter around the mun will that data be relayed to the drilling craft i send up after it?
I am currently using the newest version of KSP and i was just wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions as to what part mods/utilities etc i should give a try, It's getting a little stale using stock KSP items over and over. Thank-you in advance.
Through trial and error, disaster after disaster i have made it onto the surface on my first attempt today. Thank you for all of your help, it was detrimental to my progression in space exploration! i will be moving on to bigger and better things! Wish me luck fellow cosmonauts. *EDIT* Now i just have to figure out how to land efficiently so i can get home
I still can't seem to figure it out, i just did another run to the mun but couldn't get it to land, my spacecraft just wont stay up right, as someone stated its top heavy and i believe this is where the majority of my issues are coming from.
I just managed to land it, im going to do another run at it to see if it was a fluke or not, most of what was said was a big help to my landing though.
It is most definitely my horizontal velocity, i have been able to almost land several times since posting this topic but keep tipping the lander due to high horizontal velocity. I am unable to correct this even with watching various videos and reading various articles.
I was just curious as to what makes each icon their own, for example what makes a lander a lander and not a ship and vice versa. How does the game class each space craft into their own categories. Thank-you in advance.
I have tried landing on the mun several times with no luck, it seems that i cannot get my speed under 35 m/s when approaching the surface. Any help is appreciated.
