FLutterFlight Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I can't seem to stop playing, but every time I do play, I can never seem to get anything above the atmosphere :/ At least it's been a while since I have... Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLutterFlight Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 And on top of that, now my save is corrupted right when something started working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cydonian Monk Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Welcome. You've taken your first steps into a much larger addiction.The best hint I can give you for getting out of the atmosphere: Finesse and grace beat brute force. Use less, add less, and follow the "standard kerbal ascent profile" (straight up to 10km, pitch to 45 degrees until your Apoapsis is above 70km, then coast to Apoapsis and burn horizontally until orbital) until you learn how to improve it. If you continue to be stuck, take some screenshots of the craft you're having trouble with, upload them to imgur (or somewhere), and head over to the "Gameplay Questions" forum.

Awaras Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) What exactly is the problem? Are you running out of fuel? Don't know how to get to orbit?My advice is to take a craft that can make orbit for sure such as the stock Kerbal X or something from the Stock Repository and practice getting to orbit with that. Once you know how to get to orbit, you can move on to learning how to make an efficient orbiter yourself.

sal_vager Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Welcome to the community FLutterFlight Getting to orbit is easier when you follow one simple design guideline, lightweight craft are easier to fly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
