Hi and thanks

Hi all

I have been reading the forum for months, and finally decided to register (found an unanswered post where i could help).

I have been playing KSP since 0.21. I am not a very experimented rocketeer, but i already did some things I was proud of (first orbit, first munar landing, put probes on every planet/moon orbit and finally first docking)

The most "impressive" (experimented players are allowed to laugh) thing i did was a probe that went to jool, collected science in high orbit and low orbit of every moon and finally crashed on jool to study it's atmosphere.

Most pityfull : Never landed a plane. Even without FAR...

My thanks go to Squad, the community (WE are awesome !), and the creators/maintainers of the mods i use (FAR, Deadly Reentry, TAC life support, procedural fairings, Kethane, SCANSat, Kerbal Engineer Redux, RealChute) and the mods i will use in the futur (can anyone recommend another mod ? Maybe you can guess what kind of mod i like from the one i use - mainly realism - I am also looking for a good mod for the creation of a planetary base, i found some but they where outdated).

Oh, and sorry for my bad english, i am french (this nearly explains that).

Your English is fine, and despite claiming to not be very experienced, so is your piloting/shipbuilding. The whole Jool system with one probe? How many points was that worth?

nearly 6k science points, if i remember well.

The Jool project was easy : 6 FL-T800 asparagus with nuclear engine, without engine on the radial tanks (expect LOOOONG burns) did it, with a non-optimal jool transfer (did it the old way : raised apoapsis to cross Jool's orbit, waited loooong time and then, when my ship and jool pass my apoapsis at nearly the same time, did a small burn to get an intercept). No need to be experimented to do that : i didn't know how to dock or how to use maneuver points. I had luck with easy intercepts within the jool system, though (got Tylo and Vall while trying to go to Laythe).

Most complicated thing was to put that out of kerbin's SOI (as always ?). That was without any mods (don't know if i my ship would have done it with deadly reentry, for exemple)

I hardly consider myself experimented : i learned how to dock only two weeks ago (it took me a whole sunday). But now that i know how to dock, the universe is mine : i can do anything i can imagine !

Planes. How do you land them. (I have the same situation)

Anyways, happy landings!
