the kraken is kicking me


Recommended Posts

i am on an elliptical orbit around kerbin, my apoapsis is increasing, i have 7 ion engines and 7 tiny ion boxes, 1 small ion box, 1 okto2, 1 medium sas module, a small-to-tiny adapter, 4 gigantor xl solar panels, 2 mystery goo, 2 barometers, 2 thermometers, 2 seismometers, 2 gravioli detectors, 2 narrow-band scanners, 1 something-16 antenna, and 4 very small square node things (i forget their name). i am accelerating at about 0.3 meters per second per second. trying to use the mun as a gravity handle to jool, now accelerating when ions are down. can't control the ship. i heard someone else had this happen to them. it may also have happened in the ksp livestream, iirc. plz help. thx.

edit: it was pointing toward the maneuver node when this happened, so accelerated in the right direction. i am now too fast to encounter the mun, but as soon as i was too fast for it i started decelerating again.

i fixed it! or at least figured it out. two ions are dead, not enough power. they were still taking xenon and accelerating for some reason. but now i disabled fuel flow in all tanks then i can control the ship again.
