Welcome to RSS.

I am unable to watch vids at the moment (stupid new phone contract and its uselessness) but can i just ask if you are using stock parts or have you used the realism overhaul? It looks like you started out with mostly stock parts but theres a few modded parts I can make out from the youtube thumbnails.

Stock parts are not even close to the sort of stuff RSS needs

On my RSS gameplay (BTW the views you get with RSS are way better than stock sized ksp) I use KW rocketry and its still a challenge. I only use the one mod pack though as its balanced to itself, rather than grabbing engines and tanks from every which way. With RSS you really do need those 3.75m parts. I will take a look at these vids as soon as I.T get to work and give mer the damn wifi password

If you like IVA piloting (like me) then take a look at rasterpropmoniter (link pending).

I am using mostly stock parts and no RO. big exception being KSP Interstellar. It's very much intentional; what I was going for is a hard, unforgiving start (due to the relative weakness of stock parts in RSS) which can be alleviated by slightly OP future-tech rockets from KSP Interstellar. IMO the stock parts have some benefits over adding more mods, chief being recognizability. I think many stock players are turned off by mod-heavy video's because they'll have no idea what's going on. I want most everyone to be able to recognize what I've built, that will also give them the right perspective to see how big RSS is compared to stock.

Some people have already made the argument that it's not quite realistic since, well, RL rockets are just better. That's true, but then again I'm not doing life support and my people are expendable, so I like to think that balances out :) I'm working now with about 40-50 tons to LEO, which is working out. Just. You should have a look :)

Here's the newest videos:

Ive watched the first few episodes and im impressed on how far you have got with stock engines. Its not my cup of tea playing rss with stock engines because I dont like the hideous looking craft it forces you to make but you have done so well.

its also nice to watch a ksp series with plenty of commentary. Thumbs up.

I will stick to my kw rocketry rockets though. Plus with the kw you get to build rockets taller than the vab which is always fun. Send a probe to jupiter next for me :-) and if u find a jupiter texture to replace jool, please let me know.

Rss gives the best views :-)
