Into the fray

[GeneralDisorder]

Hi fellow spacefarers,

Been lurking on the forums for a while now and decided the time was right to make a grand entry.

So without further ado, my kerbiculum vitae (highlights):

- Started KSP at version 0.14, crashed some stuff.

- Got into orbit... somehow

- Got to the moon, crashed on the moon... (at 400+ m/s)

- Landed on the moon

- Landed on minmus

- Rendezvous'ed some stuff in LKO (no way to dock at the time though)

- Got out to Duna (hard stuff without maneuver node system, but doable once I figured out when to go)

- Visited some other planets and moons

- Had lots of fun mapping the hell out of everything (<3 mapsat)

- Started building humongous spaceships in pieces which I would dock together in LKO.

- Got frustrated with burn times for huge 2fps megaships.

- Started scaling down and getting some nice results.

- Messed around with rovers.

- Finally started building planes, first successfull SSTO

- First successfull VTOL

- Built a refueling spacestation network in 0.20 (1 in orbit around every planet and several moons)

- Seriously considering savegame editing to port the results of my efforts. So far I did 'other things' in about every other version.

In between these came a lot of reading wiki's and forum posts. I consider "Doctor Rendezvous" to have taught me how to do it right. Each time you see this theoretical stuff come to life in KSP is a joy.

I'm a limited mod user. Mainly MJ for the info and the smart ass during orbital maneuvers, MapSat though not recently. Have yet to try FAR and TAC for the VTOL's and SSTO's. That's probably going to be my next move.

My convictions:

- KSP is wonderfull

- Squad is genius

- I have way too little time to play

- It needs MOAR BOOSTERS!

Thanks for this gaming jewel

Interplanetary without maneuver nodes (Or mods?) must've be quite tricky.

Welcome to the forums!
