New Kerbalnaut in the House

[dingomedic]

Greetings all. I have been having a blast (several times) with the demo and will be downloading the full game friday (yay). I have had an opportunity to put Jeb in orbit several times and I almost hit the Mun earlier tonight. I do have some questions though. I have been looking at the youtube videos and have been in awe of what I have seen. Some truly amazing things. What would you all suggest be my first add on or add ons? and is there somewhere I can get a detailed description of what I will have in the base game? do I get amazing reentry effects or do I have to down load an addon for that? space shuttle parts? down load or base? I see numerous satellites and things like lazors and docking computers. again addons or in the base game.

There is no doubt I am buying the game in a couple of days, I just would like to know what to expect from what I buy.

Thanks,

Dingo

Welcome! I recommend Mechjeb2, just for learning how to fly and do different maneuvers.

Now for your list:

reentry effects - base - but there is the deadly reentry mod!

space shuttle - addon - Tiberdyne and bobcat's Buran come to mind

satellites - both - check out NovaPuck and KWrocketry parts packs

lasers - addon - Romfarar's Sunbeam Lazor (fyI: this guy is a dev now)

docking computers - addon - ORDA and Mechjeb2 come to mind

And that's only what you asked about, there is tons more, just go looking/searching!

Anyway welcome to the KSC, now get to work!
