Hello again all. So a question about KER / MJ and Delta V readouts. When building ships with KER and MJ to see projected dV but I have a hard time taking drag and gravity in to account when estimating my lifter's dV. Any advice or rules of thumb? Many thanks!

Hello all! I am new to the Kerbal forums, but have been crashing rockets since April 2015. I have recently been working on flying a SSTO, and have been having problems. I generally will get to a 70-80km orbit with no fuel left over. I use either RAPIER engines or a mixture of Ramjets and aerospikes. I generally fly a flight profile with a 30-40 degree climb to 10km, then I throttle up to full and go at about a 2 degree AoA. Once I hit about 1km/s speeds I pitch up to about 30 degrees, raising apoapsis. Can you guys/gals help? I don't know what I can do to save more fuel. Thank you in advance!

Also, sorry if I placed this in the wrong area! If I have, will somebody please inform me as to the proper place to put this?

So I took a good break from KSP for a while and with 1.0.5 I have restarted a new career. One thing I'm noticing is a kill a lot of Jebs on reentry. Before the aero overhaul I just burned retrograde until PE was down below the surface of Kerbin for return and I'd just ride out re-entry. Now I am having to balance descent angle with how much time I spend at a given altitude for heating vs. deceleration. Unfortunately I have not yet found a comfortable return trajectory envelope. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice? Many thanks. ~ash

So. This is my first post. Generally its here for help as to, Well, Get started, and, Like, Be able to do stuff... Actully the main thing here is: How do i get around better. Example: I want to find a specific post, Its a sort of old post, And isnt that popular, But i DO want to find it. Example 2: I want to find rather unknown systems for planetfactory/kopernicus. How do I find these posts quicker.
