Do you need to go to planets to have fun in KSP?

Do you need to go to other planets to have fun or can you have fun by flying jets making explosions or even making you're own army of kerbals arming themselvs for intergalatic war?

Nope, at least half the fun lies in making jets, docking to your station and making a base on the Mun.

So what you're saying is the only fun in ksp is the jets and docking to mun and bases, No interplanetary wars haha.

I don't know about the intergalactic bit, but personally, I have had a lot of fun making and figuring out airplanes, orbiting stuff around Kerbin and the like. Eventually, once you are familiar with all that, you will probably feel the urge to challenge yourself and to reach farther, but fun in KSP is very much a personal thing, and two players' definition of fun may be very different. That's the beauty of an open-ended game like this one.

Yeah, I think i would have fun making jets that are able to shoot some kinda thing without any mods...Just like you said, Every player has a differen't goal and Way they have fun!

Thats the beauty of it: Do what you like. You have a whole solar system to explore... or not.

I just spend three days in a row trying to build interplanetary tankers. HUGE ones! I am talking about 16 Jumbo tanks here.... or more. Not that I think they will go anywhere. I just have fun building them. And shooting them to orbit. And dock them together.

But you can also have fun just building targets and throwing Rockets at them and see how they explode.

Or build an planetary defense grid. Either pointing rockets at incoming Kraken/Aliens. Or pointing inwards to subdue the whole planet.

Whatever you like.

You absolutely does not have to be going to brave new frontiers,although that is fun as well.You can entertain yourself just enough just by staying on-planet and making jets/space stations/polar bases.

I'm very terrible at KSP i only really get things into very stupid orbits(though once, with the fasa asteroid mod, i got an asteroid to pass kerbin once every couple of years or so), usually colliding with each other. so i usually have a couple mods up, aircraft carriers and subs and the like thanks to Infinitedices boats mod and a couple other things, and i just mess about with it. so really, thinking that making a war like scenario isn't weird, there are many many series on youtube doing so, such as EnterElysium's World War K.

Okay, thanks i'm gonna start making my kerbals ready haha!

Well there's your awnser I guess

Though I can tell you, it brings enormous satisfaction when you first land on a new planet.

Hell I've been to the Mun dozens of times and even landing there succesfully brings a big smile to my face.

My advice: Just try every damn thing you can think off

[Krosulhah]

Lets just say... An aircraft carrier does not survive the missiles that come with that sub...
