Noobienaut Links_Insomnia Reporting for Space Training.

[Links_Insomnia]

Just got the game on steam and loving it. For the longest time i was just watching gameplay on youtube to decide whether i might really be able to get into the game. I've always played space rts on and off but nothing like Kerbal space program. I'm still trying to figure out how to make a rocket that can leave the atmospere. any tips on getting start much appreciated. Looking forward to meeting everyone on the forums.

:P

Newbie rockets for sandbox and career mode. I hope they are helpful.

Start with something simple. Do sub orbital flights first

Simple starter career mode. Capsule, parachute, four fuel cans, LV-30 engine. Land it in the ocean. Don't forget to move the engine icon to the bottom of the staging column.

Then, advance to an orbital ship as you learn how to do a gravity turn. This will have just enough fuel for a safe return. LV-30 first stage, LV-909 on the second stage.

Welcome to the forums!

Vanamonde and SRV Ron have already given some good pointers, but while you're at it, I'd highly advise you to take a good look at some of the materials listed in the Drawing Board, which is linked in my signature. I've tried to gather together a large number of tutorials and other resources to help players, especially new ones, learn about the game and improve their skills. Don't be afraid to ask questions about anything you don't understand in the Gameplay Questions subforum as well.

Hope this helps!
