Sorry about that. I fixed it, due to your quick tute on editing posts and such. (I'm a bit of a neandrethal when it comes to that stuff) Yeah my spelling kind of sucks too. Anyways, thanks again for your informative response!

Ahh, yes, okay ! It was that "starved for air" thing that I wasn't getting! thank you for the clarification! The "Closed Cycle" thing was also throwing me off; thought it meant total shutdown. Thanks again !

I've just opened up Rapiers on the tech tree. I'm confused as to how to operate them. In the assembly at SPH or VAB and you right click on a rapier, it gives you the various options; Automatic or Manual switching, Toggle mode, on or off, ETC. Do you leave it on Automatic or what? I'd like to be able to control them via action groups. Also, what arrangement of fuel tanks are needed, jet fuel vrs. rocket? Is there a specific tutorial somewhere for this? I would appreciate any help. thanks, One Spaced Cowboy

Yes, I watched that vid 3 or 4 times, and I was totally awed ! It was an aspiration . To me, it's playing the game in it's original parameters. The goal is doing it without any cheats (or mods) I'm not trying to tell anyone how to play the game, it's just how I want to play it! I'm not trying to agitate anything here, it's just my "opinion".

Really!, Really!, ;;; Mods, mods, mods. I understand mods help with game development but, why don't you guys highlight someone with real skills, who don't use mods like Cupcake etc. Mods = Cheats

Flixx, I think you nailed it ! They're all good in their own areas of expertise, however Mr. Manley, (to me) can be a little annoying with his post-recorded narrations. Kurtjmac makes his commentary as he's playing, which I think, deserves a lot of credit. No, he's not very technically savvy and he admits it, which adds to the humorous entertainment value of his videos. Yes Scott Manley knows his stuff and all, but sometimes strikes me as being a bit of a blow hard. The first time I saw one of Danny's vids I laughed my *ss off! ( I think it's the goofy music)

R.P. 573, I'm very curious, how do you make this "Cargo bay" from stock parts ? Could you outline a basic "recipe"? Thanks

I Love I love KSP just the way it is, I'm just an old man, ( technical neandrethal ), Hell I don,t even know how to copy and paste ! But, I wish they would expand the sandbox mode with new parts and such, (screw mods).Expand the Kerbol solar system! I love the "play ground" as it is. Money and resources turns it into just another, blah blah game !

IMO this game just went from "K car" to "Kadilac"! Thank you Squad, You Guys Rule !!!

Please excuse me Lord Vader !

Yes, I agree! The Mark 55, despite that it's a gass sucker, placed in your staging just right, it can be a mission saver. Least usefull constructural part? , that's a hard one ! I know it's constructural but the small hard point, whatever it's called, I never seem to use.

I'm so geeked right now and I'm not even a geek! C'mon 2.3 Yes, Yes, I think I'm having a Kerbasm!!!

I am probably just a small % of the community, (baby boomer), but I think Squad is doing a great job at developing this game! At ease ! Chill ! Why so serious ? Yeah, I started with Lincoln Logs, Kenner Erector Sets, and then KSP ! I think it's the best thing since sliced bread ! Why would anyone want to bring this down ?

I'm sorry, I'll never do that again.

Yes, I agree, I was off the topic. However my reply was not directed to you!

You have issues

Kasuha, Hi ! I'm just some "old guy", tech. illiterate, a computer neandrethal (with poor spelling skills obviously),.,.,. But !, I always read all of your posts and replies. Why do I not see your name next to ones like Scott Manley, Kurt jmac, etc. I'm always impressed with your technical savvy and logical views. I would love to see you do some tutatorials and the like ! (please excuse my poor spelling)

Nope! How in the heck did you get into that position in the first place ? At least just send us a snapshot of the ship the moment it plunges into the Munar surface ! (strictly for entertainment purposes)

I seem to have opened quite the can of space-worms here, Iv'e never noticed the "over heating bar" please excuse my late response to this 'cause I'm a Kerbandrethal

Iv'e been wondering about that too, it does not seem to effect anything no matter where you place it in the staging ! So whats it for ?

Is this a Kracken thing?

Abort ?! Hell, I either cash or enjoy the "ticker tape parade"!

I would say your biggest problem is ( step 1. ) As others have suggested, try your retrograde burn from a lower (parking orbit) like 35 or 40
