Hi there!

I just got KSP the other day, was given to me by a friend, and even though I know nothing about it I love it I'm Slooowly catching on to all of it, I didn't realize it was so thoroughly thought out. I honestly thought it was going to be a step up from a flash game. I was so so wrong lol. I've managed to explode dozens of ships on the launchpad, got into orbit once by luck, and ... that's about it. It's just enough to motivate me to learn how to control it instead of goofing around

Welcome to the forums!

Glad to hear you've been enjoying the game. It is one of those games that sort of tricks you into thinking it's going to be easier than it is at first glance, but the pride of accomplishment is certainly worth it.

I'd definitely recommend that you check out the Drawing Board (link in my sig) as you're learning, as it has a number of tutorials that help explain some of the most basic principles of getting rockets into space and getting them to stay there. Once you can get into orbit consistently, you'll be ready to tackle bigger and better things -- as they say, "Once you're in orbit, you're halfway to anywhere." Don't be afraid to ask questions in the How To section as well. If you just want to show off your progress, too, you can post your most memorable missions in the Mission Reports thread.

Happy landings!

Thanks Right now I'm entirely too proud of getting into orbit close to where I intended lol. A total of four orbits, you can guess which one was the first try

Thanks for the link, too, I've been making good use of tutorials(I've yet to delve into the more in-depth stuff... yet). Which I don't normally do, I like to guess-n-go, but this game is nice and challenging. I'm finding that the trial and error approach only goes so far before you get tired of exploding mid-air Here's hoping I can figure out the actual math involved next!
