New to Forum, Old to KSP

[rgriffith26]

Hello!

I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Ryan and I've been playing KSP off and on for over a year now (back when the VAB was red). You wouldn't be able to tell, though, if you watched my Let's Play. I don't have it down to a science, and I probably never will. It's not as exciting to me if everything is calculated. The fun with this game is that it has the semi-realistic physics mixed with the cartoonish characters and a layer of unlimited Redo's!

I can't wait to meet some of you and see what new and exciting features lay ahead!

Greetings Ryan! Glad to meet you too You'll find a pleasant person around every corner in this forum, and no shortage of mods. I agree with you, KSP is a lot of fun when you just "fly blind". But that's the beauty of it, that it suits so many different play styles. Safe travels!

Thanks! I've always been more of a vanilla gamer, wanting to play games in only their purest forms, no matter how buggy or unromantic, but I might try a few here. I'm playing on a 2011 desktop Mac, so I'm not really capable of doing too many mods. My gaming PC decided it didn't want to play anymore, so I have to stick with Mr. Mac.

I have had KSP from September 23rd 2013 (not my birthday) I still can't grasp KSP I tried the asteroid challenge but when I try to get an asteroid I bounce off and die

I personally haven't tried the asteroid mission, but I've seen it done. It takes a lot of patience (and quicksaves if you like doing that). Also, I'd highly recommend practicing docking maneuvers with a space station or satellite until it's second nature. That'll help you with those finesse maneuvers.

Hi Ryan, and welcome to the forums!

I'm not sure if Booster meant mods to the game or mods as in forum moderators, but there are plenty of both.

Hope you have fun here, and good luck!

If you want to see real blind flying, watch Scott Manley do an entire moon landing from the lander capsule! Oh wait, welcome Ryan!
