Finally got a 3.75m KW fuel tank into orbit! Needed more veg.
-
JRF, you got this completely right.
I love space. This game is my escape. I want so badly to see Earth from orbit. To see the stars as clearly as the universe will allow. I likely will never achieve this, but Jeb, Bob, and Bill can and I live my dream vicariously through them.

Trying to get a 3m KW Rocketry (mod) fuel tank into orbit. Can't be done!
-
Whackjob, you are an inspiration for us all! Tonight, I build the fuel module for my space station. Things should get 'splody!
-
Just starting to play around with EVAs. Pretty scary! But pretty..... well pretty!
-
I built my first maneuverable plane! Called it the Rabbit Foot because you'll need all the luck you can get trying to land without landing gears! Things get 'splody.
-
My space station "The Massive". It is a work in progress.

When I break Jeb.

The habitation module for my space station "The Massive" going up!

With the success of the "A Ha" thread (lots of thanks to nhnifong for the video
), why not have some laughs?Facepalms happen. A lot! My latest mission to dock a hitchhiker can hab module to my space station was full of fail. As I was on my final few metres of the amazingly stressful procedure, I realized I was doing this without fine controls on. I was zipping all over the place! Once everything was in place, I wanted to check how the little green guys were doing. BY THE BEARD OF ZEUS, THE CANS ARE EMPTY!
Every test flight I remembered to fill the cans, but when it comes to the actual mission, no dice.Ps... yes, I am feeling thread-cocky.
-
Just happened to me last night. I've been obsessed with docking lately and that transferred over to the dream world. All I remember from it is working with a Clamp-o-Tron Sr.
-
Docked a habitation module to my space station! ... Ok, it was just three hitchhiker cans. Anywho, it's up there and that's what matters.
-
From my latest mission. You can see the Space Center from here!

I said pics were to come. Here is the reason I started this thread.

4) Realising that double-clicking on an apoapsis, periapsis or any other orbital indicator will keep it there instead of having to mouse over every time
this changes everything! -
No caps lock?
One more "a ha"... quick save and quick load. Saved many lives and many crafts.
-
That awkward moment of realisation, when i've noticed distinct lack of any kind of power source on brand new munar lander? My first reaction was to scrub the mission and start anew...but then i started thinking. Solution was simple (and kinda brilliant, i might add
) - a dedicated power module consisting of two docking ports, structural part, four solar panels and an RTG. Everything strapped to a automatic ship and sent hastily for a rendez-vous in LMO. Before my lander runs out of power in its single, small battery - plunging hapless crew into cold darkness It worked perfectly, i'm proud to say - lander became a bit top heavy, but still fully operational and with plenty of power to finish his mission. So, moral is - never despair, kiddies.I may have to steal this idea. Too many of my ships have gone up without extra power. In fact, I may include a bank of these for my space station!
And Jedi Master, I know wide rockets are better but I haven't been able to make the without the whole thing falling apart. Makes for some nice fireworks as I hastily try to deploy my parachuts.
-
Last night at work my mind naturally wandered to rockets. I was trying to think of a remedy to a rather wobbly launch vehicle. It was carrying a payload due for delivery at the space station. Pondering and pondering all night when finally it hit me! If pushing doesn't work, why not pull? So I suspended the payload under the control pod and built the rocket around it. I'm still working out the kinks of the design but early models are looking promising. (Pics will come eventually)
What are your "a ha!" moments?
-
I completed my first successful docking! This is simply a shuttle attached to my space station main hub. Can't wait for the next section to go up! Docking was exciting!
-
I try to keep those in the snappy orange suits as safe as possible, usually on good ol' kerba firma. I actually try to use stupid kerbals for test flights. Even then I revert a bunch.

I finally got the largest 3m KW Rocketry fuel tank in orbit and have started docking parts for a mission to Duna and one to Eve.
