Hello fellow aliens

[Rare White Ape]

My name is Mick, I come from GMT+10, about 28 degrees below the equator (Gold Coast, Australia for those playing at home). I'm 33 years old, into motorcycles, Lego, movies, and I'm addicted to KSP.

Short-time lurker, first-time poster.

I've been playing KSP for a few months, so I do know how to get into orbit and dock and encounter planets and stuff. And as of this month, finally got out of sandbox and started a career mode save file. I can't begin to tell you how much more involving the game now feels when you put some sort of reason behind your insane rocketry deathtraps!

One thing I've started to like doing is getting the mission complete with as little resource use and space junk as possible. Last week I did a contract that asked for a simple robotic satellite to get into a specific orbit around Kerbin. I used every ounce of rocket fuel in my little launch vehicle to get it *just* sub orbital, then used RCS thrusters to push the teeny-tiny spacecraft out to its target altitude. So much fun.

I think the best thing about this game is the blank canvas that KSP gives us to perform our own journeys of self discovery. It holds your hand only a little bit, the rest is up to you to research. And I don't mean game guides here, I mean real rocket science. And watching Scott Manley videos. Squad has done a great thing here.

See you in orbit.

Are you the white ape from Barsoom?

Hello Rare White Ape, and welcome to the forums!

You are obviously well on your way!

Barsoom - now there's a good reference. Anybody know where I can find Dejah Thoris?

I still have a bunch of these on my bookshelf.

Happy landings!

Thanks guys.

Today I tried the KSP 64K mod on a new install, as I was looking for something a little different. I like it a lot, mainly because I think it's far too easy (and quick) to get into orbit from Kerbin.

I might start a new career with this when 1.1 comes out. Hmmm…
