Welcome to the forums Angry Onions.

You are best of checking the How To sections for what you want, as you haven't given a clear explaination.

Have fun playing KSP and go blow up some rockets!

Hey Sal, well the biggest thing I need help with is landing on a different planet, Eve in particular and the second thing that's got me confused is the markers on the nav-ball. Does the pink set tell you where you should burn to intercept your target after you set it? While I understand the nav-ball, I still have some questions for it.

Mustwinfull, I have nice ring of rocket debris/ depleted stages around Kerbin, some of them were unplanned dissassembly and some of them were proper explosions

Okay, I suppose a more detailed explanation of what I need help with is this:

I need to build a rocket/craft/thing that can land on Eve and return. My only restrictions to this goal is that I won't use mods and other people's craft files. So, who whats to help some Onions make first contact?

Okay, the navball I can help with, the pink markers show the direction to and away from the KSC, but if you look it doesn't quite point at the KSC, maybe go look where it's pointing

Heres info on orbiting that might help, and a nifty angle calculator.

At the moment, its only worth landing on eve with a capsule/parachute combination
