Then why does the map filter post surface scan no longer show that biome as 70%, but rather at 5%? Yea there's clearly some funny business here...

The weird thing is that it was 70% filter on 3.6% body (Mun), and the surface scanner reads as 5%. Relatively, that's over 100% so that seems wrong.

Hey all, trying my hand at mining for the first time. To get my juices flowing I decided to test things out on the Mun. I threw up a polar orbit satellite with the regular scanner on-board, and found a couple 70% candidate sites. I landed a small lander in each with the surface scanner, and both show ores of <5%!! And when I go back to the overlay they no longer show the high concentration. =( Is this common? Is the orbital scanner worthless without a narrow band?

I saw the explanation, I'm just not sure what it accomplishes?

what's that?

No KAS and everything was placed with symmetry

That's the color that shows up when your rocket is flipping too IIRC

Why is there a random lifting force on my RCS thruster?

With due respect to the wiki, it's often out of date and erroneous; this thread is frankly much more useful

Can confirm this does not behave like the pre-1.0 days. The tanks still all drain

Could you please update the OP with this info from Bloody_looser? Very useful and buried in the middle. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/104239-Leveling-Up-Kerbals-The-Training-Program?p=1629949&viewfull=1#post1629949

Love the fan theory!

Noooooooope!

Here are two really helpful answers from my own recent thread on this http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/129775-SSTO-build-flight-tips-for-0-9-vet?p=2102219&viewfull=1#post2102219 http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/129775-SSTO-build-flight-tips-for-0-9-vet?p=2102518&viewfull=1#post2102518 Using those tips I'm back to my old form of designing & flying SSTOs with ease

I find that a Pe of 55 km approx opposite of KSC from an 85x85 orbit allows a very nice unpowered glide into the runway in a well-lifted, aibraked craft without too much concern for heat. Source: 10 hours of playtesting SSTO re-entries in 1.0.4

I've had some RUD of wings, particularly on final approach to the runway at low altitude/speeds

Did you try switching ships using [ ?

Thanks for the heads up! I've had an early career rocket flip out of control *with* fins, but fine without. Very confusing.

Haven't played this game since 0.90. Is there a quick guide on the various UI changes (thought I saw something about being able to see aerodynamic forces while in flight?) and some little tricks that aren't obvious?

Which I acknowledged ;-). It would be a nice option though and completely optional on the mod maker's part anyway. But because of Squad's insistence on not supporting Workshop, even modders who might like to use it can't =/

which would be mitigated with steam workshop for us steam users, but alas =/

Nailed it. Truth be told I haven't touched the game since 0.90. When they announced that they were "uncomfortable" with the early access label, and that was the primary reason given for moving to 1.0, I stopped playing. I'm glad I have because if I had a post-release craft go from fine to unflyable I'd be pretty pissed. I'm going to continue sitting out KSP, possibly forever, unless I see some really focused improvement and understanding of what a released game is.

i don't generally have a problem with most of the mods, but some of them can be pretty rabidly pro-squad also, once i got a warning for calling a sweet video "sick! [10char]" - - - Updated - - - it actually was. so try again.

that post really only emphasizes how out of touch they have become

yea it's super innovative to release a beta product as 1.0 your absurd reduction of people's opinions and positions invalidate your own
