Rakshasa

Just don't allow wind beyond a certain level in the launch path.

Playing ED until KSP gets OSX unity engine that can properly detect my X-55 hotas controllers separately.

Hard mode and if it looks like it might fly it's Kerbal Rated.

What is this bizarro world I live in where people are asking if they will switch from Linux to Windows because the game will run equally well on the latter?...

I remember paying less than $10 or so, quit whining.

Yes, had to rely on an expert to get it into orbit and he basically flew it in a way that simulated a reasonably sized engine. Definitely not a problem with the design... ;/

That rocket does not look like an unstable disaster to me, it looks like a reasonable design that should work. Powerful thrust vectoring engine, much taller than wide, etc. Initar, what happens if you disable the upper 3.75m tank until it is needed? I think that would help keep the CoM further forward and the rocket more stable. So it was an unstable disaster of a rocket after all... BTW, in case you missed why I called it that, it was partially _because_ it was far from enough 'taller than wide', had a beast of an engine on something that looks like a fat dwarf.

If it looks like it is an unstable disaster of a rocket, it probably is. Do those engines even have thrust vectoring?

Weird, cause I've read that he asked IBM if he could use their TLA, however they refused so he incremented each letter of IBM.

The AV-11 winglets worked perfectly for me in a triple configuration, a non-gimbaled rocket with two booster that tended to flip over at high speeds. Not every rocket should have fins, and not every rockets should not have fins. Basically the error lies between the user and keyboard.

Found out that fly-by of the Mun on hardmode with basic launch pad is just about possible if you drop the heat shield. Feels slightly like cheating...

I launched Jeb on a badly designed tower of 4x solid booster /w non-decoupled rt-5 at the bottom, ended up skimming the surface at <1000m unable to gain altitude nor separate the stack of 3 boosters. Somehow Jeb pulled through once the SRB burned out by reorienting, staging, burn to 3000m and float down for a safe splash into the sea north of KSC. This was on hard mode so there would have been no reincarnation.

Try playing career hardmode to get a feel for the new update, it forces you to start from the basics and is actually a challenge. Regarding reentry heat being underwhelming, with the standard pod that seems to be a bit too much in the way of durability... as soon as you try to add goo canisters or anything else things start blowing up unless you are careful.

Try playing career on hardmode, then you'll realize they've balanced them perfectly.

No, why would you ever bother going to Hawaii?
