This is too much pressure. The first asteroid I tracked is on a collision course with Kerbin! I must save humanity! I mean Kerbanity!

[Superluminaut]

Please share any and all info on new and improved engine cluster designs for the new larger tanks.

[NovaSilisko]

Not sure if this counts, but it gets a roughly 10 ton payload to a 700 km orbit in a single stage:

[MalfunctionM1Ke]

Nice design Nova. This brings up some great Ideas

[Superluminaut]

Here is a quick 19 cluster I put together.

I feel like it was easier to manage fuel lines with the new tanks. Maybe new update luck. Crosses fingers.

Calm down there, Korolev

You should be thankfull that there are no random failures in this game ....yet

[problemecium]

So to confirm for anyone still wondering - there were no gags, pranks, or other curveballs found in the patch? It's totally legit and serious (yes I know it's real, but, well, you know, other than that)?

[NovaSilisko]

Methinks A-classes are a bit too light. That one only weighs 5.9 tons, I think it's made of plastic or something.

[Koolkei]

damn... everyone seems to be having a blast. anyone already got to duna or got a space system in space yet?

[YifengTheGreat]

Is it just me or does somebody else also have the problem where you click 'update' on the patcher and it opens terminal and nothing else happens? I'm running mac osx

[KasperVld]

It's a known issue Yifeng, for now just launch KSP straight from KSP.exe

[kiwiak]

Wasnt trajectory calculating algorithm supposed to be redone?

Markers wobble even more than before when i try to encounter asteroid.

[NovaSilisko]

[RogueMason]

Ok, I've got asteroids; just started up the game again and they're there now. Two Class A asteroids...

Hold on... wait, control? We're picking more objects up... Mother of Kerbin, they're everywhere! 2 Class C's and a Class E!

I've got work to do

[lammatt]

^^^^^^^^^^

[NovaSilisko]

Time to bring home a sample...

edit: no that's not worked

In many streams it was said, that they were randomly generated and every player would get his own asteroids.

[Rakaydos]

I got an asteriod that spawned inside kerbin's SoI, already orbiting (apoapse 500km from the edge of the SoI.)

[blizzy78]

What sense would it make to spawn asteroids always in the exact same position? Not quite realistic.

[Twreed87]

What he means is whether or not it's different between other players save games. There's a certain code algorithm that determines when and where asteroids are generated, but the question is whether it's seeded uniquely for each player.

[lammatt]

I captured one... can anyone teach me how i can check the asteroid's info... the size, mass...etc

--------------------------

i shot the tug up the skies and then found out i forgot the solar panels and RCS... (lucky i still could switch off the battery before it ran out; and my tug is light enough to turn itself quickly with just the pod's torque)

All the info on asteroids is found in the tracking station. When you select the object, you just hit the Tracking button where Recovery would be for normal craft.

[lammatt]

O... do i have to undock?

cos i cant see that rock in the tracking station like i had.

[real]

Not yet since I just got the news from release of ARM. Happened about 9pm my time and now it's about 11am. Will be a long day before I'll be able to catch any rocks
