What a fantastic game this is!

Hello all. I am relatively new to this game, finding it by chance when having a gaming boredom crisis- trying to find my next gaming fix!..... I am hooked on this game! I love the design element, the thrill of trying to get it into orbit, the buzz of getting out of the atmosphere and the music starting - as your first achievement.. Onwards and upwards to greater deeds with a spirit of endeavour akin to a real space program! I have since completed my first manual dock in orbit - how many other games would make you pump your fist in the air with triumph???? This to me is why this game is brilliant....

Welcome to the forums!

....Jeez, you've already done your manual docking? I can't even rendezvous(although, I'm getting better at it)!

Wait till you land on the Mun for the first time and get your crew back home. Now that's a great feeling.

Not to mention Duna or one of Jool's moons.

You can watch one of Scott Manleys videos,it's how I learned to dock.

I think I watched nearly every video Scott did, that made everything fall into place for me. I just had to get manual docking right...I know its hard to do, but kept on at it....with numerous catastrophies along the way. But that first time.......man!... Not sure about my next move??? Develop a space station or do some landings???

Welcome to the forums!

I can say that rendezvous and docking is about the hardest thing you will ever have to do in the game, so being able to pick it up that quickly is certainly an achievement! Hope you keep us posted as you move on to greater accomplishments.

That said, if you ever need any help with any other aspect of gameplay, feel free to post your questions in the How To section of the forums. The people who hang out there are typically quite experienced and knowledgeable. There's also the Drawing Board (link in my sig), which has links to a number of useful tutorials and other resources.

Happy landings!
