Lar-E

Agree, that is how I am hoping to play KSP2.

Yeah, I seriously don't remember exactly when I started playing. I know it was 0.Something; and it was before aerodynamics because there was no point (other than cosmetic) in putting nosecones on your rockets!

Hi, I first started playing KSP back around 0.4 or so. I played and played and never got especially good, but I sure had a lot of fun! My computer was never really beefy enough, and then nursing school got in the way... And now I've got a butch computer and I purchased KSP2, and it's beautiful and I'm really excited to play and do some lithobraking. I have no complaints about the state of the game, or the update schedule, my feeling is that it is what it is, and the devs will produce a high quality finished product when it is ready, not before. That said, I'm not really interested in playing with my shiny new toy until (a) reentry heat; and (b) science tree (I need the structure, I find full-on Sandbox overwhelming) Cheers! L

I downloaded and installed the latest ksp (6.0, 64bit), and the corresponding Making History this morning on my Windows machine. Upon installation, Making History gives me an error message: "You are running a version of Kerbal Space Program that is not compatible with the Making History Expansion. Please go to KSP store and download the 1.6.0 version or above." I have run KSP, and can confirm that I am running version 1.6.0.2395 I also re-downloaded and reinstalled both files this afternoon. Same result. What gives?

Not for nothing, but if SQUAD were to put out a Valentina Kerman t-shirt (in black, maybe, yes?), I would be compelled to purchase such an item...

I haven't been playing KSP at all lately, I'm in the middle of a very intense semester and need all the time and brain power I can get; but last night I was fooling around with my 5-year old, building silly rockets and blasting them off, and we noticed that it was almost impossible to kill our kerbals. Is it just me? We'd forget to put parachutes on, drop the craft from nearly-space, big explosions, but the command module would stay intact, with Jeb grinning like an idiot the whole time. I'm running stock, latest update, with deadly reentry installed, on a fairly crappy old computer.

"Holy @#$%&$@!! I landed on the #$%@&%$ Mun!!" --Jebediah Kerman

http://www.ejectionsite.com/stapp.htm Despite the lack of physical similarity, I'm fairly certain this guy was related to Jebediah Kerman. He's also the reason your car has seat belts.

I designed a small asparagus-style Duna lander that will shed its landing legs and boosters shortly after leaving the surface, leaving only a lander-can and central fuel tank and engine. Problem is, those idiots in the VAB (yes, I'm talking about YOU, Gimley Kerman!), installed the fuel lines backward, so the central tank feeds the four boosters, essentially making the craft as heavy and inefficient as possible. Is there any way to disable fuel flow in the field?

My ships are generally named after food for orbiters (Ham-n-Cheese I, Burrito Grande); or flightless birds for landers (Emu, Ostrich, Kiwi). My space program is called 'Foops'; a contraction of the words 'Fudge'* and 'Oops'. *The word is not actually 'fudge'.

I would like some basic numbers (delta-v, twr, vehicle weight) to be available in the VAB. I don't think that would take much away from the kerbal-ness of the game: as has been pointed out before, you still have to know what to DO with those numbers. And it would save me a lot of scratch paper.

"Hold still Jeb. This delta-vee may sting slightly..."

Replace "took high school physics" with "didn't take high school physics"; "got physics degree" with "got BFA"; and "actual job at NASA" with "accepted to Nursing School" and that graph is about right for me.

Stranding Kerbals

I have one saved game in which I have 4 ships with 2 EVA kerbals each going in highly elliptic orbits out to Jool and inside Moho. While I'm doing something else (i.e. work) I run it in map mode, focused on the sun, at full time warp, and wait for interesting intersects to happen... It's like a screensaver for physics geeks.
