Col_Jessep Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I found this incredible gem of a game through a forum post of a friend a couple of days ago. We are having great fun blowing Bill, Jeb and Bob up exploring the space above Kerbal.Thank you for this game! The list of planned features makes me even more excited about it.Hello to all my fellow space program directors, have a successful launch! (Landing is optional...)

Col_Jessep Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Thanks for the warm welcome!I did notice something while training to reach orbit and return the crew safely. (Clones are cheap but feeding them till they are old enough to be exploded launched into space is expensive.) When I land my crew module sometimes explodes for no apparent reason although the parachute deployed and slowed the module down to the usual 12m/s. It seems to happen when I land on the night side of Kerbal (or maybe just too far away from the launch pad).Is this a feature, a bug or am I missing something (like the landing area... )?

Darrknox Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Some areas on Kearth are instant splodes. Meaning you can't land. It'll be changed later though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col_Jessep Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Thanks for the prompt reply!Well, I guess I have to improve my piloting skills a little bit and not miss the target area by several continents then... =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col_Jessep Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Interesting. I haven't tried landing without deploying the chute yet. I think I have a couple of rockets that I could refit with a proper landing craft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
