I'm one week in and loving every minute.

[Grim187]

I guess i'm still a bit in disbelief i've been a gamer since the first mario and its a bit difficult to wrap my head around just how open the universe is in ksp...it really does feel limitless, to have a realistic universe to build things, test, fail, build, test...,...,...succeed is so unimaginably awesome I can't even begin to express my gratitude to the developers for the game, giving us early access and making it as inexpensive as it is but (and i really don't want to put a but here) what makes this game soo much better is the community, having a repository of extremely useful modifications (most without any aspect of cheating IMO) and large groups of people that are interested not only in playing the game but helping others.

what more could you ask for.

after being let down by the simcity reboot with its bugs, simple and shallow gameplay this game is just what i'm looking for.

Thank you.

[part 2]

I was so confused when i started, i just kept following the capsule (EVA in Kerbin Orbit) with ASWD and it took me about 5 minutes to figure out shift was up and ctrl was down...5 minutes of sheer terror, it has been a long time since a videogame has been that real and i won't forget it anytime soon.

so after that and doing some scenarios; I managed to get something into orbit, from there i was going to build a space station but decided to start mapping mun and pick a spot for a mun base first (also to work on orbiting...didn't even think how hard docking would be), thats when i found anomalies and decided to build a rover...i've spent about 36 hrs in development, MK1 made it and is roving but it is slow and not too stable, I landed way off and didn't think about landing when i made it, MK2 Failed horribly (not nearly enough thrust for landing) and I did a live stream earlier today where the MK3 delivery system blew up in atmo...i love this game soo much.

here are the screenshots i've taken so far. most. beautiful. (simulation)game. ever. (yet)

I started watching hocgaming right around the time i started mapping mun and have learned o soo much.

unfortunately i have Dyshidrosis (itchy bumps that turn into blisters on my hands from sweating) which after the last week has gotten pretty bad so i'm having to pace myself as far as time spent playing, usually i wouldn't have time to write this exceedingly long post or edit a program that displays all keypresses (which is something that i want to have so ppl know what button(s) i'm pressing when recording) so it works out alright.

a bit of a side note; is there a consolidated list of add-on scenarios or training sfs's ("Mission Pack" and "Pentathlon" seem to be the only ones i can find)? and is there or is anyone working on a gui to create them?

[a bit of past me that should probably go in my bio...]

It's probably rare that someone might recognize me from xbox scene but just incase.

Sounds like you have a plan. There's also several campaigns detailed on the Wiki, although they don't directly interface with the game. There is the ... 'Mission Controller" mod, I think it's called.

@Giggleplex777

Thanks!

I saw the CH-47 that you did and had to fly it, i was pleasantly surprised how good it works.

Good job.
