New Kerbonaught

[Creeper5380]

Hello everyone,

Today I am writing this post, because I just joined the KSP community and have purchased kerbal space program. I am happy to be here, so far I have been able to acquire orbit around Kerbin and have been to the Mun and landed. I am currently a rookie and am looking for pro tips and tricks, I also know asparagus staging, from Scot Manley, who I enjoy watching.

My next mission is to launch a international space station and then even possibly a rover and then a landing on Duna, and help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks guys!

If your planning on building a space station, I can give you a few tips:

1. if you have never rendezvoused before, then do some practise with some simple ships before attempting anything big.

2. Try to make each module light and symmetrical to give ease of launching

3. Try not to have to many parts or you will be regretting it a few modules later when your running at 2 fps

4. RCS is very useful for docking, I recommend using it.

5. Make sure RCS ports are inline with the centre of mass. This will help when translating laterally with RCS.

6. (general tip) Reaction wheels can turn or stabilise anything if you have enough

7. Finally, I recommend putting your station core in a circular, 0 inclination orbit, as otherwise it is a pain to rendezvous.
