Greetings from Japan

[RIGAMORTIS -AGW-]

Friend of mine recommended this game and I am loving it. In fact I've passed it on to my other friends and they bought it as well. Regretably, I'm not doing as well with orbits as I'd like, but with time hope to do much better. Think an online version would be great, as would more components to build space stations etc; but this is fine as it stands.

Thanks for making this game.

Welcome to the game/forums if you need help there is a great how to section.

Also multiplayer has been mentioned to much so try not to mention it as many may get upset with you.

For more parts check out the add-on section there are a lot of parts there

Regret striking upon a touchy subject on my first post. Yes, well I shall not mention it again.

On Sunbol, the 19th of Augbol, after a 1D1H48M30S 270 degree slingshot around Kerbol; Erble Kerman became the first Kerbonaught in my universe to land on the Mun. Regretable, the craft tipped over on landing and several components broke off. Erble is able to EVA and walk around, but his ship (DR. Spock) is broken.

Thus, Erble becomes marooned on the mun.

Aaaah tipping over is the bane of Kerbonauts everywhere. Time to mount a rescue, and congrats on your first uh, landing !

A 3 man capsule was prepared, using the same rocket design and 3 kerbonaughts blasted off to rescue Erble. It was only once they had achieved Mun orbit that Kerbol Space Command realized there was not a spare seat for Erble LOL. As with the first landing, horizontal speed over the ground seems difficult for the Kerbonaughts to manually control. Maneuvering thrusters achieved a landing trajectory 4.2km from Erble's marooned ship and the rescue craft came down towards the Mun at 19m/s or maybe that was horizontal speed (that's the difficult part). The rescue ship cartwheeled across the ground coming to a landing on its side. All 3 kerbonaughts survived, but are now also marooned with Erble.

Finally, after much frustration with horizontal motion, I landed a rather heavy ship on the mun.

Just to point out; you'll only ever need on ASAS.

The normal SAS can be stacked for effect, though, if you're having stability troubles. But then ASAS' will control gimballed engines, RCS, and winglets automatically for you as well.
