Ahhh that lovely sense of achievement.

Ok, i've played some kerbal on and off since v 0.16 but seeing the new career mode got me hooked again.

i think its the combination of achieving your missions with the lesser parts that does it. then you unlock another bit and try and do that mission again

well last night i designed my own Mun lander, two science jr's and 3 goo capsules on it, single manned mission, launched it and went to the Mun, did all my sciences and then headed home safely (hit the atmosphere at 4k! tho i looked like some sort of fiery comet) the lander and return unit is all single stage too.

Why is it such an achievement for me? well if i'm brutally honest its the first time i've ever taken my own design to the mun and also done so completely stock, i should feel proud of that methinks, tonight i do minmus and then start looking to spread out amongst the solar system

in v.18.02 i was a whizz with space stations but the Mun always seemed just a touch too far away and i know why. i was just using the biggest heaviest most beastly lifters imaginable but its diminishing returns, i should have gone simple to begin with!

also, had to re-create my forum profile when i got back, read somewhere about a crash? what was all that about then?

Kraken ate most of the forum. It was a massacre of accounts - mine included
