You'll be sorry you said that! I'm not really very literate when is comes to computer games/programs... I downloaded the Kethane mod, it's as a zip file, how/what do I do to add it to the game?

Thanks everyone for the help! sorry for the stupidly basic questions, also sorry mods for posting this in the wrong place:blush: If I have any more questions I'll keep them to this thread!

So I started paying this yesterday and I'm hooked! spent ages last night just trying to get a satellite into orbit around Kerbin, my next mission is to go to the Mun! So I got a spacecraft into orbit but do I need to change it's orbital axis to match that of the Mun before I do a burn to go there? Also how is it that people do a screen capture of their craft? I tried doing one lst night but I have to paste it into MS Word first? is there an easier way? Thanks in advance for helping me!

I got a ship into orbit around Kerbin, the plan is to go to the Mun with it but I need to change the orbital axis first to match the Mun's before I do a burn to go there, only started playing KSP yesterday! Got a satellite into orbit last night!

Is there an add-on to get hanger door type things? I want to be able to transport stuff like rovers and whatever to places

Got my new Laptop!!! Over the Mun! can't wait to start playing KSP!

Thanks! is the one Kethane mod for both finding and mining the resource?

Thanks for all the info guys, been reading a lot about mechjeb, anything that makes my life easier I like! But like you said Capt. Sierra I would be more interested in trying something myself first than just using mechjeb to do everything! Also is kethane the only resource or are there others? What is the purpose of those mods? (what do they do)

Hey all! I am new to this, played the demo for a bit but when I got the full version my laptop started overheating, long story short getting a new laptop due to arrive sometime next week, can't wait to install KSP on it and get playing! I've been reading alot of stuff on this website and looking at a good few videos and I've come up with a plan (of sorts) I want to try and make my space stations (land based) self sustaining if I can, I've been reading a lot about mining for resources (mainly kethane) and think it would be a neat idea to incorporate whats needed into any landers/bases I plan on building. To that end could people reccommend to me what mods would be most useful to me? I have a bit of an idea what I might need but don't know for sure, firgure I'll be asking this question anyway and better to ask now before I start making stuff than after! Thanks in advance! Joe

Bit the bullet today and bought a new laptop, can't wait for it to arrive so I can install KSP on it and give it a go! I have a few goals in mind for it already, was able to achieve a fairly good orbit in the demo but use up a lot of fuel to get there, I want go to to the Mun first and maybe set up a small space station there and a refuelling depot/space station in orbit around Kerbin with a view to going to Duna and maybe even Eve at some point!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm getting withdrawl symptoms at this stage and after watching a few videos of people making stuff in KSP its even worse! I have so many ideas in my head and so many things I want to try/do! I'll keep ye all posted hopwfully I'll be able to get a new laptop soon and be able to get my fix of KSP again!

Hey there! Noob gamer from Ireland here!

Hey guys and gals! New to the whole KSP scene, got the demo version a few days ago, built a few rockets and successfully got in a stable orbit, landed back down on Kerbal safely (it was a splashdown not controlled descent), then proceeded to watch a few vids of a guy (he's prob on here) building a base on the Mun, though that was pretty cool so I bought the full version earlier today, whats the story with the career mode? I couldn't get into it so just started a new game in sandbox mode just messing about for the mo but plan on building a moon base and maybe even one on Duna or Eve (which is better?). Thinking of starting up a blog so I can document my progress! I got one problem though, the main charger lead for my laptop broke earlier this year to I use a multicharger thingy I got in Argos but it doesn't seem to charge the laptop quick enough when I run KSP as it turns itself off in the middle of gameplay! Any advice? Would I be best off upgrading my laptop (was gonna buy a new one soon anyway)?

Hey! Just downloaded the full game earlier today, was playing the demo for a while but it just didn't cut it! I was looking at all the stuff people were doing on youtube, like building bases on the Mun and stuff and wanted to do likewise! Can anyone tell me what the story is with the career mode? I tried playing it earlier but it wouldn't let me?
