What you did in the good ol' days.

[astropapi1]

Does .18 count as olde days?

Imagine not having your precious rover wheels, no universe replacer, no realistic expressions, and worst of all...

JEB COULDN'T RIDE HIS SRBS!!!!

Heh, kiddo.

Back in ye' olde days, we didn't have none of yo' fancy plug-ins!

When going to the Mun, we had to aey-ball it, and see if we got it right.

Our 'copters were rocket-powered!

These were our trusty lil' "sepratrons".

Your cute little m'nsail can bite the dust.

We didn't need no stinkin' metal to go to the Mun!

Now get off my lawn, you crazy punks!

KSP has come a long way, hasn't it?

Yes it has....

What mod is that giant engine? :>

[Camacha]

Good thing I have both 0.13.3 and 0.16 still backed up on my external hard drive

Please please note that a backup on one drive is not a backup As soon as you delete the original, the backup becomes the original. Backups only count if your data is stored twice - on seperate drives of course.

[fatfluffycat]

I'm from .20.....

I had all the fancy stuff from the start

[astropapi1]

What mod is that giant engine? :>

It's the BFE-5000 engine IIRC. HERE's a list of old mods, just for nostalgia.

Also, please remove images from quotes. It's quite annoying to see doubled images. Just use -snip- instead.

Ok, does it work in .22?

[fatfluffycat]

Its old, I remember when you could download mods for the demo back in summer 2012, this was one of them...

I tried it and atm its not working

[marko dash]

no map, no symmetry, no rcs, no asas.

my first basic rockets were lucky if they got suborbital.

[Kenobi McCormick]

Back in 0.13:

Mostly just screwed around with rockets. No serious gameplay. Eventually got bored and wandered off to radioactive wastelands instead.

Late 0.16:

My SO brings KSP back to my attention, pointing out that the mods are WAY better(Rovers!). I decide to get back into KSP. I fire up 0.13 one last time and manage to randomly chuck together something that was orbit capable, and that sold me on buying it.

0.17:

Finally buy it. Went bonkers with the mods. DSM, Cart mod, DEMVs, MechJeb, hell I even built a munbase out of a shipping container!

0.18: Docking? DOCKING! I abuse the hell out of docking and the DEMVs even more. Less reliance on DSM this time around, instead modifying the stock ion engines instead. This was also the starship era, based around the MPSS Nautilus mod, a nuclear reactor mod and some upscaled ion drives.

0.19: Top Gear: Kerbin. 'Nuff said.

0.20: Starting to get bored again. Major content updates had given way to minor content and bugfix updates at this point, and I was running out of things to do. Though, the Kerchelin tires came out, so I did more Top Gear: Kerbin.

0.21: See 0.20, but now I'm powersliding around the newly crater'd Mun.

0.22: Career mode sees me with something to do again, so I've been pretty heavily playing that. Still basing my space program around manned rovers though.

As there are other posts of >0.13 stuff I'll add a 0.15 pic that I just found while digging through old stuff. I think it says a lot for some of my earlier attempts;

[Boosterspice]

Landed on the Mün!.....

At 300 m/s, but still

No nodes, no autopilot, just me, space and a spacecraft without fuel

Memories :')

[Mrnocamera]

I blew up the landing pad.

And Kerbin.

And Jeb.

And Bill.

And the other guy. Bob?

[aceassasin]

I got the game in .13 and suffered many catastrophic failures, until I discovered mods.

[sal_vager]

In 0.13.2 I reached the Mun and returned on 9 standard fuel tanks, we only had one size back then

I couldn't do it with 8, not returning as well, needed an RCS tank for that.

[Dynamo]

Wow... 0.12. That was the version when we added the Mun...

At that point, i was just orbiting, figuring out how the NavBall worked, and seeing what i could do with the 1m parts. An orbit was quite an achievement for me, and there weren't any maneuver nodes to help me when i did make orbit! All my flying was by the seat of my pants.

But with 0.13, i discovered two little modpacks on the forums called the C7 mod and the Novapunch pack, respectively. That transformed my KSP experience, and within the month or so, i used the Novapunch lander to make my first ever Mun landing.

That was a magical moment. I continued with planes, or at least what were planes before the SPH. You had to launch them vertically on the launchpad, and the 'jet' engines had about the same Isp as a rocket engine (but that was even before Isp stats!). Here's one of my best, the RX-4L, with some weapons from JellyCubes' Advanced Weapons Research Division:

It was a beast to fly, even on SAS (making it a horrible weapons platform), had an appaling fuel range, and it landed on skids. But i loved it, and it became my favorite aircraft until about 0.16, when i stopped updating C7 and the RX-4 with it.

[Godot]

Being proud when I made my first suborbital hops across a continent, then being proud when I first reached orbit

and afterwards being even more proud when I managed to first do a flyby on Mun and later in another mission, land on it

[Wahgineer]

I got the game when it was 0.18.4: The Unity Update

Basically it was:

Get all the mods!

Get mechjeb!

0.19

Less mods,still used mechjeb

landed on the Mun (mechjeb got me to orbit and then to the mun and home, But I did the landing and the rendezvousing)

0.20

Not much

0.21

didn't really play at all

0.22

ever since science, I've been playing stock, no mechjeb, the only mod I have being Tiberdyne Shuttle Launch System (it's awesome!)

that basically sums up KSP for me

[Scrogdog]

Like the song says; these ARE the good old days!

[LaydeeDem]

awww, I can't join this party, I only got on the KSP train in 0.15

You're the guy who made the club on the Mun. You're considered part of the good 'ol days to me.

[SpaceSphereOfDeath]

I got the game in 0.13, I landed on the mun for the first time in 0.15.

That took a while, anyway, in the old days I tried to get from the mun to kerbin, then back to the mun, that was my primary mission and without docking, it's no surprise I never did it.
