Semanticman says Hello

[semanticman]

Hi, everyone. I got KSP about 2 months ago and I've been ramping up, watching TONS of people playing on youtube, the Twitch channel, etc.

This game has taken over my brain. I've completely stopped devoting time to other hobbies besides fitness activities, including SWTOR which I used to play several hours a week.

I've finally achieved what I think of as credible novice status, having flown a lander to Duna and then returned the crew home to Kerbin.

I have really enjoyed the learning curve to this pursuit, and I've been flying stock with no mods for most of my career. Before I installed Kerbal Engineer, I built spreadsheets to calculate Delta-V so I got the hang of it, for example. I basically decided to work with stock parts while I learned about exploring space, and to only seek out mods as my ambition to create things grew along with my experience.

I very recently added the Kerbal Alarm Clock, the B7 Aero pack, the Kerbal Attachment System, and finally Telemachus Telemetry.

I'm stoked to pretend that I know very little about the bodies in the system and send unmanned probes with sensors to crash into them and use the telemetry system to learn what I need to know to build the appropriate landers, rovers, etc.

I realize that astronomers can learn a lot about a planet's atmosphere and gravitational force long before probes are sent, but, well, KSP doesn't exactly model that.

Anyhow, hello!

Happy exploring! (and game crashes)

Thanks you guys!

Welcome! After reading your post, I think it'd be a neat idea for squad to implement procedural solar systems at some point, so no two games are the same. Now that's probably quite a feat from a technical standpoint, but it'd make it easier on those who want to figure out what they need to know themselves, rather than from a stock set of wiki-tips.

Hello there! Have a fun time on the forums and a fun time launching Kerbals to their doom Imeanvictory.
