Best Suggestion Ever !!

sounds like a marketing opportunity... I too, would buy the parts to make my Custom Ships, though my Becca 2.5 Nuclear has over 300 parts in it, so the kit would have to be pretty big...

the atmospheric sensor (nosecone) yields quite a bit, but takes the most time and power to 'upload' the data...

ROFL...i did jump on Gilly once without fully appreciating what would happen.... Made me a bit nervous at first... thank Bog for jet packs !

has anyone out there produced a slightly more difficult tech tree than the default one? Preferably one that includes Kethane and possibly NovaPunch? Yes, i know Kethane integration will be in a later release, but with creative persistent file editing, it can be added...I just dont have the hours required to learn, modify, test the creation of a custom tech tree... I am just hoping there is a thread or a repository for such tech tree files... Thanks guys !

Ninjadude nailed most of your responses, but i can add: 4. Is there a way to see a list of launches I've done or failed? If you open the "persistent" file located in your saved game, there is a breakdown of the missions you have accomplished, the science gained and the end result. It is written a bit "code'ish" but you can get the gist of it without much problem. For me, i copy/paste the info into a spreadsheet (along with initial delta-v and TWR stats) so i can keep up with what works well and what doesnt... 5. Is this pretty much a trial and error type of game? I ask because I'm trying to prepare my ships the best I can but there are a lot of things I either don't know or am not sure I can really prepare for. Meh...a mod called MechJeb works in Career mode with a little modification to the persistent file mentioned above, however i reccomend not using it until you have done at least one mun landing so that you know how Hohmann orbit transfers work, how to dock, etc....then get MechJeb for when you want to auto-dock when you are in the shower or whatever (note: mechjeb autodock is NOT fuel nor electricity efficient)

download NovaPunch if you want a slightly easier progression...it adds lots more parts, even for Career mode. if you are doing career mode, make sure to do science, recover your ships (and Kerbalnauts) and spend points wisely... For planetary orbital transfers, search youtube for videos on how to do asparagus or onion engine configurations... and dont forget to save good sub-assemblies !!!

Thank god...i thought i was the only one doing that...

I am eagerly awaiting Oculus Rift support (http://www.oculusvr.com/) Buddy of mine has it and it is amazing...the space demo was breathtaking...
