Good point on the Gaming/Work Station. But I think the OP, really needs to consider, is the PC Gaming Rig (General Games/KSP Exclusively) or General Purpose or Work Station. Because a Gaming Rig for ALL Games differs slighly than one Built Exclusively for KSP. General Gaming: AMD/INTEL Quad Core + Powerful GPU\'s + 8-16GB RAM + SSD KSP Gaming: i5/i7 Quad Core (5+ GHz) + Single GPU + 8GB RAM + SSD Optional + 24-30' Screen! (CPU Frequency been Priority - with Phyics Simulation Heavy.) I know first hand, how benifical moving to High Frequency i5 2500K CPU has made playing KSP better. Beside\'s more is better, especially when building craft with 500-600 Parts, an still playing at 10FPS! Just my 2 Pence.

Alienware; Like so many others have pointed out, are great/powerful computers, but incredibly overpriced! So I\'d suggest staying well clear! An like so many other member\'s I too would recommend building your own. If you have a love for cars (DIY Maintanence), Jigsaw\'s, Models? Basical anything that allows you too get hands on, Building your own computer is great, easy, an very cost effective way too getting a new, powerful computer. + The sense of achievement when it boots up SUCCESFULLY the first time! - Or sheer panic when it doesn\'t! If you consider building/specing your own system, I strongly suggest looking at the INTEL I5/I7 CPU\'s Quad/Hex Core. They Overclock very well, an have massive grunt with other Multi-Core games. Any Budget?

Exactly how I see them. Perfect approach for adding More Boosters. On further reading into N Ireland Fire Arm Law. I believe N Ireland in covered under Main Land England interpritation of Rockets So it may be totally legal to buy/store an fire Black Powerder Rockets + Hybrids. However its completely illegal to mix our own.. (In fear, of hobbiests using there new found knowledge to make weapon grade explosives for Terrorists purposes.Which isn\'t good.) However I am concernned why there is no Rocket Clubs. I shall continue reading an researching, so I know its legal. Dont fancy been fined or time, for a hobby/interest.. More to follow soon...

Was that why we couldn\'t post yesterday? Mod\'s locked down the forums, cus all the monkeys + kids where spamming it. Nice to be back online. Now I can get these bug reports online.

Wonderful launch Luke. I am envious, that you can use rockets so freely.. May I ask: What grade of Rocket did you use? ie, the Black Powder cartridge grade? Was that the basic Estes Launch Pad, or the bigger version? Does the launch pad, come with some form of level, or adjusters, to help level it perfectly vertical? An importantly will Patriot, launch again?

I am interested in see\'ing what you guys come up with! On my end: I have recieved my safety T-Shirt! White with KSP Logo on the Front, saying 'More Boosters' On the Back, 'I am a Rocket Scientist: If you see me running, try an keep up!' Should get some funny looks, an people enquiring what KSP stands for! Free advertising, an potentially more members, when I get the chance to wear it. On the Legal front, well what can one expect! Not a word from the PSNI... Generally speaking, there as useful as a Chocolate Tea Cup! : So may have to start experimenting within days with a few basic rocket designs. My Manned ARIES Rockets: (Egg + Diet Coke + Mentos) for some Youtube fun. =P Then, who knows...

Samsung Galazy S2, from your choice. My brother has it, love\'s it! However he regularily complains of it only lasting 24 hours at most. Is the Galazy Note, available? I bought one, from very popular retailer (Famous River), German department! 5.3' SUPER AMOLED (1280x800) 1.4GHz Dual Core 2500MAh Battery (Regularily 48+ Hours Heavy usage) Spares are £10 each. 16GB Flash + UPTO 64GB MicroSD Android 2.3 an newer 4.0.4 is now available! Stylus, will help with Note taking an Course work. (GAMES) Outstanding phone, if you can get it an dont mind a 6' Device in your pocket, the amount of friends who now have bought one, only after giving me a hard time with the MASSIVE Screen. Dare is say, iPhone 4S?

Thats unfortunite, yours was an Estes Model? Was there much work in constructing the model? I\'d think, try different model after all theres hundreds of them. Any pictures/movies to go with that launch? In the event of launch failure, is it advised to quench the boosters in water, meaning it cant ignite accidently? As for my rocket program, its on hold. Waiting for my safety equipment to arrive: KSP Branded T-Shirt. On a serious note, I have been unable to confirm is it even LEGAL to store an fire Black Powder rockets in N Ireland, there is no Rocket Clubs (Not a great sign) an no information in direct relation to them. The only law I can find, is in relation to FireArm\'s + Explosives, an there prohibited without license (Firearms). Explosives (High Powered) are illegal, except for companies using in demolition. To clarify, if there Legal/illegal, I have tried contacting the FireArms devision of the PSNI. :

Great thread for us KSP Rocket Scientist Nuts. Has inspured me to start doing it myself, hay its a chance to work with explosives... But a serious question: The Organic Specimen, an EGG. Are they Fresh or Hard boiled? For best results? I will be starting, right from the start, Diet Coke an Mentoes.. Then investing it some amature rockets using gun powder, then maybe formulate my own fuel. Please keep an eye out for a new blog, an be patient. (Waiting for good weather {Typical Irish Weather} an the field behind my house to be cut, before spraying it in coke, setting it alight.) Great first attempt Vostok, the failed launch was hilarious. I am keen to see MK2.

Hi Zelda. When I have self built my computers in the past, now counting 3. I have always completely started from scratch.. So Full build, starting with case, psu, an cpu+motherboard+ram. As such new versions, of windows, so XP, VISTS an Win7. I have upgraded my First computer, new CPU, Motherboard an Ram, an in that instance it was a fresh install of windows after harddrive reformat. I HIGHLY recommend you format your C: Hard drive (After taking all important files off), an the reinstalling Windows with the new parts. Good luck.

Nice.. I\'d also like to see 1:1 scale! PS: Does it have phasers, torpedo\'s an shields!

Ahh that will be a great specification, congradulations! Got it working yet? Thanks LongHairedHuman, for your Pelican craft file. It has inspired my own VTOL designed craft, once I figured, you had the best design (2 Engines, rather then my 4 Engine Fail Craft)! I present the JUMP-JET (VTOL PROTO) Craft, its still a prototype! Was slapped together, as a proof of concept craft, an actually found it flown exceptioanlly well. So as a Thank You, LongHairedHuman. I thought it was only fair I add my craft file + picture too your thread. Please have fun, any feed back welcome.

Congradulations young rocketeer! There is no feeling better, than your first succesful orbit an landing on another Planet/Mun. So enjoy it! Any chance you can post your craft file? So others may enjoy, learn from your rocket design? Many brave kerbals, have gone before yours. An we know, there is always room for improvement in a ship design! Like Corona688 suggested, try reducing the parts needing lifted, practice your orbiting manuevers, an you will quickly learn that smaller ships are possible! Happy Launchings!

Cool VTOL craft for the win! 8) Particularily hard to fly, especially when the VTOL concept too flying is generally unnatural to normal pilots. The craft its self, is strong an well built! Managed to land hard a few times, parts fell off but usually I could fly/land it any way! It has a nasty habit of lifting the nose up! Will more practice, I shall have better luck with your craft! First VTOL craft, I have been able to fly succesfully. Thank you for your contribution! I am intreaged! Is it 2500K or 3570K for the i5? Great potential build, hope it serves you well in the future. PS: KSP will still make it beg for mercy, with enough parts!

Wear lots of clothing, an take a cup for the precious parts. Will never forget charging, my friend taking point, running 5 Meters an him falling too the ground curling into the fetol position an screaming in pain, cus two paint balls hit him in the goonies. Hide behind suitable cover, an conserve ammo. Also make sure you get good head gear, ones that allow good breating, because if you wear glasses they will steam up.

Welcome to the forums Jay. PS: its a Overclockers, members reunion here. Havent tested your craft yet, but will do shortly. It however does look cool, an your Icarus Thread is wonderfully created an presented, Bravo.

Was just suggesting. An it would appear that you\'s have considered that kind of marketing, but are against it. No harm done, I shall continue enjoying KSP, an enlighting others too its addictive game play.

Damion Rayne, I know that we have certain areas covered. Social media sites (FaceBook, Twitter) YouTube Numourous Forums Blogging sites. Have the Developers + Squad considered viral marketing? Many companys had there product success rating an member numbers increased dramatically over 7 Days thanks too viral marketting.

Been actively promoting Kerbal.Space Program too friends an family. Had my cusions playing it (Demo Version) over the weekend on my Mac. They loved been able too build an crash there rockets... Evil people. Apart from that I actively promote the game. An offer advice/encouragement too new players visiting Overclocker.co.uk Which I am a regular on. @ http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18295252

Sorry guys. I have been completely swamped with work, an other things at home. As a result, I haven\'t had, nor can I for see me having the time too lead/manage the community project at this time. I am sorry for keeping members waiting. I would hope, that another member would be willing to carry this project forward, an great a new stock/modded base\'s for the version .15 I did get started, will a Persistence file + Draft rule changes, just never.got finishing it.

OP, have you had any success in reducing part/strut count an still keep it structurally solid?

YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT! This is a picture showing the result of an over agressive landing! AN it was perfectly flyable, with a fine touch! 8) @ChronicSilence. Please find a new craft file, for a slightly edited version! Stripped the redundent wheels, too save on weight, an removed 3 sets of struts from the top section of the wing May be 32 Parts stripped from the craft! Will try editting it further! (Please take this as a compliment, as its not every day, a member posts up a beast of a plane, like this in the exchange section.)

This is a phenominal aircraft! Large, Immensly Powerful, Strong, Well Equiped, BOMB\'s included... This is Kerbal Engineering at its best! But even on my system, its crippling! Can you kindly release a Lite version, with all the fuel + engines, just not as many wiglets or struts, too reduce lag! - If you do, I\'ll keep it in my SPH forever! Thank you for sharing!

Nice replica! However, you must bear in mind that the SR-71 only has the flaps + Canards as the tail fins, your design has flaps every where! As a result, its super agile, which according to records the real SR-71 was not! More a speeding train, with a simular turning circle! However I have been working on a SR-71 WhiteBird Design from Testing phase. I\'d like too release here, save another Thread! Mine has a single Parachute + ASAS. I STRONGLY advise, that when been flown for 20-30 minutes, Pilots restrict fuel leaving the central fuel tanks, an especially the ones at the front! My SR-71 is Tail heavy, so burn the fuel from the Tail + Outer tanks first... If you dont you\'ll soon find your self in a Flare induced stall. With no possitive out come! My SR-71, is lazy an slow too turn, but still easy enough, will cruise happily at 12000+ Meters, an I have had it too 16010Meters PS: Tried the reverse spike engine, resulted in some funny! Going back wards flying! All comments welcome: Picture + Craft file below!

An interesting idea. I agree, that the Mun should have 2+, I like the idea of keeping LZ BRAVO + LZ CHARLIE, they are the hardest an most challenging, plus LZ ALPHA is soo plane on the platuea. More can be added too the Mun IF needed later on! Minimus, should have 2, but will only open with one, with another added once it gets crowded! Kerbin, its self also serves as potential Landing Zones, with the introduction of Planes, Pilots can fly through Atmosphere or achieve low orbit (Rocket Assist) an fly round the planet easily, making a far off hostile landing strip, or Pacific Base achievable! 8) GOOMH, you have me a little confussed (Tired) by your meaning of Network? Would players just land on one body, an leave the secound orbiting Mun, for another mission? Certainly players, can slingshot of one, too gain momentum too the secound. Propose Landing Sites, for STOCK Community Mun Base 3.0! LZ ALPHA: Hostile KSC (On another Contenent) - Kerbin LZ BRAVO: Hawaiian Island\'s (On another Content) - Kerbin (Initially undiscovered/Closed) LZ CHARLIE: JEB\'s Crack - Mun Equator LZ DELTA: BILL\'s Bottom - Mun South Pole LZ ECHO: ELIZA\'s Plataeu - Minimus (Suggestions welcome) LZ FOXTROT: - Minimus (Suggestions Welcome)
