Are there any other tutorials like this?

I just got this game recently and so far I have been loving it. I started off with a return trip to minimum based off a scott manly video and then used the same ship for a return trip to the moon. After that I went through the historical missions in the wiki (like this one).

Since then I have just been mucking around and re-doing the apollo mission. I was wondering if there are any more tutorials that are more mission guides than anything? I'm still not great at building ships completely on my own but have a pretty good grasp of everything else. I'm basically after more missions laid out the same way the apollo one above was - Gives you a ship design to build and just some basic pointers on how to do the mission. Basically I just want more of these mission outlines which get increasingly harder (start with duna then build a space station etc).

I guess I am after mission outlines that include ship design more so than actual tutorials but I haven't been able to find much when searching the tutorials board and google.

Welcome to the forums!

Looking through the Drawing Board, I found this one that walks you through building and flying a ship that can get you to Duna. It's a bit of an older one, but judging by his description, the parts should all be about the same as what he describes (although the craft file he provides for download won't work with 0.19 or 0.20).

Hope this helps!

That's perfect! Thanks. I will be attempting to go to Duna at some point tonight I think!

Do you know of anything similar for building space stations? I think once I have done this mission to Duna and Learned a bit about building a space station I will know enough to just attempt things I feel like and work it out as I go.

Then I will probably start a new save file and put up satellites and such. On that note, do satellites or probes do anything yet? I have seen alot of posts on the forums about people sending probes to places but I'm still unsure how to build them and what they do.

There is no real reason to build satellites unless you use ISA MapSat or Kethane in which case satellites can map the surface to provide valuable information.

Building probes is always useful when getting started IMO. Produce a few cheap probes that you can practice landing on bodies, and if you happen to land in a good spot that probe will act as a beacon so you can land there with your manned mission. Also, place some sensors on your probes to get some useful readings, I.E. gravity, atmospheric pressure, temperature, etc...

Get RemoteTech, KerbalGPS and ISA Mapsat if you like launching sats. They allow you to build communications networks, GPS networks and map the surfaces of the bodies it orbits.
