interesting SSTO, but, it looks very capable never the less!

I am gonna need to try to update my keybindings for RCS translation. someone mentioned arrows with the right ctrl/shift keys for some of the translational moves.

and hopefully many happy landings on every rock I can find XD

Tank Buddy: thank you for those steps, I shall give those a try tonight. Blizzy78: it was a royal pain in my backside. No matter what I did I could not slow myself to less than 0.1 meter per second relative to my target. once I got that slow, it was hard as catching snow in summer, but finally managed to lock them together. I think I need more practice, but, I shall start by checking your link out. Thanks to both of you for the information! edit: Blizzy78: awesome video. I soo did some of what you show in that video, but, some of it was me not being used to the physics of space and, well, turning my ship into what amounts to a real expensive ballistic missile lol. So do not need that much thrust let alone keeping it CONSTANT XD I need to work on my docking for sure, and your video should help me out a ton. thank you!

side note: achieved docking for the first time, and oh my gawd it was a pain! had to resort to unlimited RCS/Fuel to do it :S but, it taught me stuff, so thats good yes?

I just landed on the Mun with a test lander, what could be better?

OH MY GOD!!!! I DID IT!!! I LANDED ON MUN!!!!!! yes, its just a PROBE lander to theory test my stuff, but its on MUN!!!! this taught me something: needs: MORE legs, LONGER ones too XD

update: found it. now i feel like a kerbal, full of courage, but just stupid enough to strap myself to a few blutonium reactors XD

hmm I do not recall seeing it, will have to take a look again XD

My stupidity: I built a Mun Lander, 3 man cabin. Boy does it fly great! Problem: No solar panels, no extra batteries, remote guidance module. See my problem? Drains batteries in that command module way too fast. Until I fix it, I cannot safely enter into Mun orbit, let alone MAKE Munar Orbit and be able to change beyond a oh look its Mun, oh gee, there GOES Mun. XD

Hi guys, this is just a suggestion, and I am certain it may have been suggested before, but, are there any plans to include a tab on the initial start screen or even in settings, probably settings is the better place, for a keyboard layout? Just wondering. I did find one on the wiki, but, it can be cumbersome to alt tab out to see something like that.

Greetings Kerbonauts! I am AlamoVampire! I just recently came into this wonderful world a few days ago <as of this post>! I am truthfully blown away by this game! It has brought me many a smile as I watch as my hapless Kerbals go spinning into the ground as my designs fail by mistake or more deviously by design!

I think it is six, since, well, when I looked at SETTINGS, it showed up, and on POST 7, there was my signature LOL

on a slightly linked note: I have no signature line option... guess its in the mail or perhaps Bill Kerman lost it in orbit XD BUT, this is my first ribbon:

interesting, thanks dave!

to all of you who have replied: THANK YOU! I will give it a go through several times! Soo many Kerbonauts have perished just trying to teach me how to fly in the game lol. I sent jebediah into a sun escaping trajectory a time or two on over built speed machines lol. Again, I will give all of your fine advice some much needed practice! I think, for starters I will just launch a herd of lemmings into orbit at the equator just to see if I can match orbits. Practice makes perfect right? Again, thanks for the help, and I will give that video a view shortly. Hey just a silly question, where are y'all getting those ribbons in your signature lines?

Okay.. First off, this may be a repost of my own thread, if so, sorry. I am new to KSP, just got it on Steam a day or two ago and I love it! My question is this, sorry if I am duplicating <most likely I am, but my serch fu stinks lol>: 1. How do you duplicate the orbit of your target vessel? I can never seem to pull off 2 identical orbits, they always seem off set with one say being aligned with the equator and the second with a chase orbiter canted off where it passes above and below the target vessels orbit. SOMETIMES, I can get them nearly on the same plane, but never twice on the same plane. 2. Is there a series of practice launches I should make just to get the feel of it, or is there something I am missing entirely? Any and all help is welcomed, thanks in advance!
