Greetings from The Great Soviet Kerbal Space Program

[Angvar]

Well hello, I finally have the time after a very busy week to introduce myself.

Let me start with that I have found these boards to be amazingly helpful and so far I have seen a great number of very awesome people on here. I find this refreshing as compared to other gaming forums.

I am Angvar, a 46 year old ancient gaming veteran who picked up this super amazing game about a month ago. The best way to express how much I am enjoying it is to point out that I have already racked up 400 plus hours playing this game on steam alone and probably 50 plus on my KSP store version while I settled a gaggle of issues with the latest update. Good thing this is the slow part of the season at my work.

I have always played the begeezus out of every game I have become involved with. I love to experiment with and explore every nook and cranny I can find in a game. Now I have found a game that is nothing but experimenting and exploring. Utterly Outstanding!

I like to role play while I play games. I imagine a scenario that my characters in game fit into which adds greatly to the experience for me. This time around I am ][van Kermanovich, Glorious leader of the peoples Great Soviet Kerbal Space Program. I am American of Ukrainian/Russian decent and yes I like to drink vodka and play patriotic Red Army choir tunes while I am in playing this game. I need to see if I can replace the music in the game so I can have the anthem play on launch and Hunt for Red October play when I hit orbit.

I played with the sandbox for exactly one launch and then went right to career mode. I wanted to learn the parts and their capabilities as I went along. I managed to get a lander onto the Mun (In not so many pieces) with just what the game had to offer and my own experimentation. At that point I started to watch the tutorials and read posts here. Very useful!

So far I have managed to scientificate up to the 550 point level of which I think I have two nodes. I have made a manned landing and return to Minimus and the Mun. And I have blanketed much of Minimus with probe landers. At some point I decided to get serious about my program and came up with a strategy. Scientificate from the home world out. I built a plane, a probe rocket and a rover to explore the biomes of Kerbin. Pretty sure I have 99% of Kerbin biomes all sussed out. Then I started my rover/colonization program, which has kept me very busy. Today I finally settled on a final prototype after driving two other versions across vast distances of the Mun. Now I am ready to initiate my steppes people style roving science colonization program. Basically hauling my housing, fuel and scientific apparatus around behind my rovers.

Well, that is probably enough. As you can tell I can run my mouth (fingers). You all have a great time and I look forward to interacting with you all.

Cheers

Hello Angvar, and welcome to the forum.

Get off my lawn, you punk kid!

Lol, ok maybe not as ancient as some maybe but compared to the crowd I am used to running with in other games I am usually the old fart.

I do remember my father showing me how to make punch cards to play blackjack on his computer at work and also playing around with his blackjack program on a computer you would program with cables like an old style switch board.

If that counts.
