Unfortunately, from what I have seen, debris do not interact with each other nor the atmosphere unless a. you are in-flight on a piece of debris or b. they're next to an in-flight ship/debris

you can increase the maximum amount of debris. But . . . good question, what IS a stack separator?

I don't understand exactly what you're trying to do...

Yes, because the point is to start with nothing and build your way up, not start with everything and see how quickly you can unlock the tech tree with 20+ flights in progress. I suppose it's easier for me to talk about starting from nothing, I lost over ~100hrs of ship building and saves, and bases on 4 planets when I reformatted my computer. So starting from scratch in .22 was not really a decision for me . . . computer runs great though. Love it to death again.

The point of career mode is to challenge you by taking away most parts and make you unlock them by building bigger and bigger missions bringing in more and more science. If you just drop in several generations of ship building into an early career, you're sort of defeating the point.

yes, i experimented a lot with spaceplanes, that's about 1/2 the size of the smallest I made, and less than a 1/10 of the largest successful (space station builder I made) Looks like a very good compact design. But... I would upgrade to turbojet to get you up to just over ~1000 m/s in mid-high atmosphere, but your craft doesn't seem to have enough fuel to get you an additional 1000 m/s for orbit. I would increase the fuselage length by 1 more tank, and put a wing connector between the jet engines and the fuselage for more re-entry stability. Taking above into consideration, you should find something that works best with your building style. Mixing too many styles in one craft adds more weaknesses than strengths. You should look at a problem: how to get to over 1000 m/s in mid atmo, and how to blast out an additional 1000 m/s to get me in orbit? and then try to fix that problem using your building style.

me too! Fraps all the way! That's why I have local net storage, just dump all my stuff there at the end of the day. I'm getting a new computer in December so the old one is going to become a server to automatically manage all my files, including compression.

I almost missed work, and in the military it's kind of a big deal. I thought "Sense I already built the ship, and the previous model was already tested on the Mün, Mimis should'n take more than 2hrs" It was 11am and I have to leave for work at 3.30pm. So after landing collecting samples transmitting, collecting again etc. I engage escape boosters go into orbit collect more data in low orbit, transmit, collect again, etc. and then look for a vector that would set me on a collision course with Kerbin, burn, collect more data in high orbit. Then I start wondering: will the craft be worth more in recovery if it has been in orbit around multiple bodies (Mün + Mimis). Found a vector that would take me within 10k meters of the Mün surface, burn again. Right as I entered Mün influence i looked at my watch. 3.15pm! No shave, still in civilian attire, bed not made, etc. At this point instead of saving and quitting the game, I decided to multitask. Cut the mission not to include orbit, made a queue for science transmission in near orbit (as I have not exausted the science there previously) and burned again to intercept kerbin (Mün was going to shoot me over the north pole @ a Kerbin exit velocity as i had to burn prograde @ Kerbin in order to intercept the Mün in the first place), increased time compression, and started to clean, etc. checked on my path, queued more science in Mün high orbit and time compress again (just a little, didn't want to overshoot). Shave, got back, decoupled booster and lander can (making sure i did not leave any stray samples in the can) and turned my nose retrograde. Changed. The capsule was starting to enter atmosphere, very fast I might add, still going the speed that would have taken me out of Kerbin influence. The burn passed in just over a second and the super sonic cloud formed around and behind the ship. Engaged parachutes splashdown recover. (gained over 1000 science for all experiments performed) quit the game and looked at my watch. 3.27pm. Bingo.

same boat as you. Trying to find the 'edit signature' button
