Eve ascent

[Kerbital]

I gave up on Eve. I just don't have the patience and I don't take KSP as seriously as some of you do. To me, it's a pile of awesome LEGOs that I can build functional spaceships from

I can land a disposable probe easily. But the only way I can land Kerbals on Eve and bring them home alive is by either using infinite fuel cheat or hack the engine config file to create a monster engine that sips fuel

I know exactly what you mean. KSP, and Eve in particular, makes me so angry sometimes that I've come very close to smashing my laptop (an MSI that cost more than my car). On the flip-side, when I accomplish even the most minor missions, it fills me with a tremendous sense of satisfaction. Unlike any game I've ever played, really. The first time I (sucessfuly) landed on the moon I literally jumped off my couch. I try to explain it to people who don't play, but they just see the goofy-looking Kerbals and think it's a kids' game. They don't know what they're missing.

If you don't want to use Hyper Edit maybe you can at least tolerate using the built-in cheat to put your test ship in orbit around Eve?

As a quick "p.s.", I took you up on your earlier suggestion of using the Alt-F12 menu for Eve testing. It's been a Godsend. I use it to put my Eve ascent vehicle on the surface and see what works and what doesn't. I work 12 hours per day (and have 4 kids as well), so my free-time is short and precious. Each night I have to ask myself "get some sleep or play some Kerbal?).

I don't get much sleep.
