Hi, I'm EmDash and I'm a Kerbaddict.

I'm very bad at KSP.

I have no idea what I'm doing.

I fail constantly.

I love this game so much.

Nice to meet you all I'll try to be more active in the future, I've been playing for a couple weeks and the greatest accomplishment I have so far is managing to make an orbit and bring them back down safely.

I play career mode cause I like the immersion but I'm having trouble finding science on normal mode. If anyone could give me some tips that would be greatly appreciated.

Everybody starts out badly.

Research new science instruments as soon as you can and take readings on the pad before launch, in-flight, and once landed. You won't be able to do that on each flight, but on successive ones. Take small science instruments with you on any flight where you're going someplace you haven't been before. And stuff like that. 

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forums,and good luck!

As for science, I suggest driving around the KSC, it includes a lot of tiny,barely noticeable biomes, but they all will bring you some scientific data.

Thanks guys that's super helpful, starting a new game now and trying out the science tips to be thorough! Thanks for the welcome!

You're doing better than me, it took me a whole year to get into orbit in sandbox. Though admittedly I was building tanks and didn't focus on it at all. Welcome to the forums!

If you've made it to a stable orbit, you're doing pretty good I'd say.  Welcome.
