Kerbonaut Reporting for Duty!

[Delfinus]

Hullo KSP Forums, I've been playing Kerbal since the start of October (and was wanting it for months before after becoming aware of the game by somehow wandering across Scott Manley's vid's on Youtube but lacked a PC that could run it) but only now have joined the forums even though I've been reading them for a long time. I've been having a lot of fun playing KSP, and have probably pressed F5 and F9 so many times due to getting into KSP that I'm surprised they're still in one piece

 

Here's my Space Station, the KIOS (Kerbin International Orbital Station) It's main purpose is to A: Be awesome, B: Repair and Resupply ships departing LKO, and C: Repair and analyze the Science from ships returning to LKO. Bercine Kerman, the Station's Engineer, is also in the picture, while Barger and Maglyn Kerman, the Station's Scientist and Pilot/Commander, remain inside.

The station is fully finished for now, although I may decide to add a Hitchhiker Module aswell as a Life Support Module if I decide to get USI Life Support, I also intend to dock a Spacecraft of some kind to serve as a Escape Vehicle, It did have one at one time but it was used to fulfill a rescue contract.

KIAA (The Kerbal International Aerospace Administration) has also successfully landed Kerbbed missions on Mun and Minmus and put a Kerbbed Semi-Permanent base on the latter, I've also landed a unkerbbed rover on Duna (which has since crashed) and in a past save which I think I deleted accidentally I landed a unkerbbed lander without a rover or any way to move, I also currently have a lander inbound for Ike.

 

Our other acomplishments are: Making a SSTO Spaceplane after many failed attempts (although one proved to be a good atmospheric Jet), making a rocket with over 9km/s of Delta-V which I learned the hard way was massive overkill for performing a Kerbbed Mun Mission , Making a working and fully reusable Spaaaaace Shuttle (although it involved putting on a lot of those liquid fuelled RCS thrusters to control Pitch), Discovering Duna is green with our first Kerbbed Mission there, (Either that or somebody forgot to tell Jeb it was just a in-atmosphere test of the lander on Kerbin) performing a EVA from the surface of Minmus, down to LKO to rendezvous with the KIOS, dumping off all the Science there to be processed, and then going helmet first down to the surface of Kerbin, and then performing a Kerouz mission to pick up the science, if I remember correctly the Kerbal who did this BadS feat which put Jeb (who is now looking for revenge) to shame was Gregbald Kerman, the reason I did this was to fulfill a contract to rescue him from Minmus Orbit, so rescue contract, complete! (I later went into the files and set BadS to true for Gregbald, as it's previous reading of false surely couldn't be true when he had just EVA'd across tens of thousands of Kilometers)

Three Questions though: When I installed RPM it seems to have broken Porkjet's habitat pack, or atleast the Soyuz Capsule, which I was using for my Kerouz Spacecraft and would really like to have working, is there a patch or some edit I can make in the files to correct it? Also what's the best Delta-V to have for landing on Kerbin's Moons? as the 8 KM/S I originally heard was the best seems to be massive overkill. Finally what's a good way to ensure massive rockets stay on course and in one piece? As even with fins and strut spam they still seem to flip out and turn into ICBM's, and with EVE the KSC is not that far away from a massive city which some of my larger out of control rockets like to go to, and raining rocket debris down on Civilians is something that I'd like to avoid.

I'll add more pictures of my Contributions to Kessler Syndrome... Er, I mean, uh, Adventures across Spaaaace later, such as my Spaaaace Shuttle, Mun/Minmus Lander, and Minmus Base, but for now, Hullo KSP Kerbmunity!

Hello Dolphin, and welcome to the forum!

That's one heck of a first post.  Interesting station, too.

I'm afraid I don't have the answers to your questions, but there are lots of folks around here who are very happy to help.  Try taking a look around the Gameplay Questions section of the forum.  If you can't find the answer to a question, start a thread to ask it.

Happy landings!

That station is awesome, and the clouds look great!  

Always good to see a lurker join in the fun. I'm also not sure about your add-on questions. If you can't find help in the Gameplay Questions area, you can try the Modded Support forum as well.
