Martonaut Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hello, well I spend all this week building crazy ships, most of them 2 big to even fly, I only had a couple mission for "testing", even so I played KSP like a mad man, probably more than ever before, and I realized that Im a Builder, I enjoy more building crazy stuff than flying it.So IM curious what kind of a player are you? Are you a builder or a pilot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zapy97 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 i like both frankily but i am much better a builder than a pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyHook Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Builder. I spend hours building designs that only ever see use once. It´s satisfying though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaragi Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Why not both? I enjoy fiddling with things just as much as flying them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
302Death Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Im better at bulding than flying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Aramchek_ Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Both, so I chose neither option. I like building capable craft and flying them ...without mechjeb or any nonsense like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunik Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 IMHO; i'd rather code so they pilot themselves. This is space travel, not the Red Bull airshow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I have fun messing with designs until they work, but i enjoy flying missions more than making the craft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kacperrutka26 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Well for now Im a builder because I like messing with stock satellites and bases. But when 0.17 comes out with IVA I will certainly be a pilot of space planes most likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalkingofgames Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 my computer is to laggy And crashes a lot (im trying to build a new pc that will make mine look rubbish,Anyone know where to buy calculators)So all i can do is build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientAstronaut Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 It takes me about 30-45 minutes to make a rocket because I do all the math and everything first. Which makes the building process rather long. But I can still pilot it really well as long as it's a stable design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheProdigy Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 ...without mechjeb or any nonsense like that.MechJeb isnt nonsense...some people like building rockets and seeing how they fly...without flying it...nothing wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tauge Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Take the Mechjeb debate elsewhere, it's getting old seeing it appear every other thread.As for whether or not I'm a builder or a pilot. I'm kind of neither. Personally the fun is in the exploration. I probably won't try to build a rocket that is capable of getting a successful launch to one of Kerbin's other planets, the fun, at least for the first few weeks will be simple getting there. Putting things in various orbits around the different planets. Eventually I might do a "Manned" mission and orbit and return, and maybe just maybe I'll actually do a landing (probably a couple of unmanned one way trips), but that'll be far down the road.

_Aramchek_ Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 MechJeb isnt nonsense...some people like building rockets and seeing how they fly...without flying it...nothing wrong with that.It is to me, and if you're upset by that it says more about your own feelings than it does about mine.

sal_vager Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Guys, there will be no arguing about MechJeb in this thread, or to be honest anywhere else either, it is an add-on and you can choose to use it or not.I'll close this thread if the MechJeb arguments do not cease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zpox357 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 My building deeply effects my flying. If I build something bad then it flying it will be really bad so I guess building is my favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zapy97 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 sometimes i build great rockets that sould work and then i crash them to death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactic Nexus Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 A bit of this, a bit of that. Once I have a working basic design that I can adapt and upgrade for different situations, I can fly just fine and have fun doing it. But on the other hand, it's fun to just mess around building ships, not worrying about if they will make it to the moon. Yesterday for example, I made the Highwind from FFVII; it looks lovely, but unfortunately, Damned Aerospace's propellers just don't have thrust to get the hulking beast off the ground and it is as balanced as drunk toddler.Annoyingly, I haven't been able to build a successful, versatile design for the 3-man pod so far. Every rocket I make using it gets stranded on the Mun/Minmus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
air805ronin Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I like both, like most everyone, but I experience true joy in actually piloting missions. That feeling when I finally managed to land on the Mun can't be compared to any other video game I remember playing. Then taking what I learned and landing on Minmus on my second try...well....this game is a game I didn't know I wanted all my life.Hats off to the KSP crew for giving me the chance to do something I'll likely never do in real life.

Trytogettothemun Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Builder I suck at building planes but IVA is going to make a little easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmpsterMan Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I think i spend the majority of my time building but I prefer flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkStar Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I do both, since I make odd craft (like one with parachute pods for Kerbals, or my space stations) but also can fly well. I recently finished a orbital rendezvous around Kerbin, and have gone to Minmus and the Mun more times than I can count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zapy97 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 the IVA's are going to make it fun to fly my VTOL craft in .17 i cant wait... but building is still important and fun, some times it is a pain to do but then again VTOLs are not quit that manuverable... the building of spacecraft and spaceplanes is just as important as flying them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
