Hi everyone!

[thescientist]

I've just started to play KSP and I've made some (horrible:)) rocket and I discovered that ASAS makes big rockets to roll. Is it normal or have I done something worng?

One other thing: do you think that it's better to learn how to dock or, almost for the first flight, make an all-in-one command module-lander?

Thanks for the answer and excuse me for the bad English!

P.s. how can I put images in a message?

Welcome to the forums!

Your ASAS works to try to keep your rocket locked into whatever heading you have it at whenever you activate it. Sometimes, for larger rockets, the adjustments it makes to stay on course produce a torquing effect strong enough to overcome the rotational torque of the command pod.

As for your question about Mun landers: It's actually quite easy in KSP to make a direct-ascent lander (take the whole craft with you, rather than a separate CSM and lander), but I'd still recommend learning to dock. It's one of the hardest things to master in the game, but it's absolutely worth it because it opens up so many other options. If you need help with docking or any other aspect of the game, take a look at the Drawing Board (link in my sig) or ask questions in the How To section of the forums. We'll try to get any of your issues as squared away as we can.

Images in messages: Since you have a new account, they're disabled (along with a few other things) until you have a bare minimum of posts and have been verified as not being a troll, spammer, or bot by the moderation staff. It's nothing personal, just a safety precaution. Feel free to look around and jump into any conversation that interests you; you'll probably be vetted in no time.

Happy landings!
