RainDreamer Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 In KSP we do a lot of space missions, but what is your most favourite part? Is it the preparation stage where you work with number and building your craft? Is it the launching itself and seeing your handiwork blast off with the force of multiton explosions? Is it the moment when your craft finally achieve orbit and coast along in serenity? Is it ...uh...the transit stage (does anyone actually enjoy that?)? Is it when you reach your destination and seeing your plans coming to fruitrition? Or maybe is it the returning trip, if you had one? Or perhaps you just want to see stuff blow up?

HoloYolo Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I love when I get to my destination. I know it's all about the journey, but I like unfolding my plans, not waiting to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requia Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 that moment in the upper atmosphere when your rockets slips away from fighting gravity to using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenfire32 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 The completion. It depends on the mission parameters, but once the mission is 100% complete, I can breathe easy again. If it's a manned mission, then the successful return and recovery of the crew capsule is the best part.If it's a satellite, then just getting to destination is the satisfying bit.

xXIndestructibleEVAXx Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 If I had to pick just one, it would be transit. But really, I like arrival and transit equally. Both are beautiful and always make me feel small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I'm definitely with Greenfire32 on this one.Completion of the mission is the most satisfying part of the process.Happy landings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John FX Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I looked for the option for `landing` but couldn`t find it so I opted for arriving at the destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worir4 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 My favourite part is when I stage something and pieces fly every where and also when stuff goes wrong awesomely. I always feel that a failure is totally worth it if it is spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas988 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Even simple tasks such as landing on the Mun or docking with a space station give me that giddy feeling. Everything you've done in the mission has lead up to this point...so don't mess it up! It's these moments I believe make KSP such an exciting experience.

ZentroCatson Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) I like all. Really. Planning, l(a)unching, orbit, making the transit, arrival and return. My missions are not the best planned, I often leave Kerbals longer on space stations or do another spontaneous rendezvous after realizing that Bill lost his KIS drill again . But most of the mission is already thinked trough a while ago. Somehow I love doing transit burns that go interplanetary. Just that feeling that your handiwork is blasting of to a new world, to discover something the Kerbals never knew before.Edit:Also, I love when something goes wrong on launch but I can regain control again and complete it successfully. That happened once. Jeb and Bob where blasting off to Minmus, but I realized that my asparagus staging was wrong. The rocket started to flip, but I released those boosters immediately. Luckily, they only destroyed the launch escape system. The rest went all fine, the mission was a success!

katateochi Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 planning, or actually, building something.sometimes, i dont even know what i'll use them for. It's just like Lego.I'm the same, love building. Often without any purpose in mind, just some rough craft idea. The mission then evolves around the craft design. But I do also enjoy all other aspects.Docking to a Space station or another ship.Docking is awesome and as JohnFX said, landing is also very satisfying.
