*walks onto Quarterdeck, salutes national ensign*

Hello, all. I honestly don't know what to say, so I'm going to let everyone else ask me anything.

[Pecan]

Welcome to the forums, I have some questions for you:

1. How's life (I don't see much of it now that I'm addicted to KSP)?
   
2. Have you been playing KSP long, or just started?
   
3. Is there anything in KSP you're having trouble with or want more information about?
   
4. Anything you're particularly pleased or annoyed about in KSP so far?
   
5. What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Welcome to the forums, I have some questions for you:

1.) Life is great. Getting a medical discharge from the military is tough, but KSP helps a bit.

2.) I've played it off and on for a few months, but only just bought my own copy.

3.) Transfers. I want to go to other planets but can't get the phase angles right.

4.) I'm pleased with the variety of parts and features that you can build damn near anything with. I'm annoyed with the lack of vessel information in stock KSP (the reason I installed MechJeb). A brief tangent: the Center of Thrust indicator in the editors accounts for ALL engines, not just the ones firing in a stage. Being able to see individual/groups of engines' CoTs would make spaceplane design easier. I have several other complaints but don't want to go ranting about them here.

5.) Certainly slower than 202 mph, that's for sure.

Welcome to the forums! I also have a few questions:

1) What branch of the military do you serve in?

2) How did you get introduced to KSP?

3) Do you watch Scott Manley/Kurtjmac for tutorials, or are you winging it?

Try this link for finding phase angles for planetary transfers: http://ksp.olex.biz/ . You can also use a mod called Protractor: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/83173-23-5-Protractor-Continued-Rendezvous-Plugin-v2-4-7-%28June-14th-2014%29 for ingame displays.

Regarding the CoT issue: That's a very good mod idea. You should suggest it in the Addon Requests forum if you hadn't already. You may want to take a look at RCS Build aid (http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/35996-0-24-x-RCS-Build-Aid-v0-5) for finding out how to balance your RCS jets. It may be helpful for building spaceplanes. If you're just interested in information displays, but don't want autopilot, try Kerbal Engineer Redux (http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/18230-0-24-2-Kerbal-Engineer-Redux-v0-6-2-10-and-v1-0-7 [use 1.0.7, it is the newest branch]) or Vehicle Orbital Information Display (http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/?p=719342), AKA KER and VOID. I believe KER has more info, while VOID is better in orbit. But your decision.

Again, welcome to the forums! Enjoy your stay!

1.) I served in the United States Navy. I enjoyed it right up to the discharge. I'll try reenlisting at some point.

2.) Dad played it sometimes. Then I saw a few friends of mine playing it and joined in. Been hooked ever since.

3.) How can anyone NOT watch Scott Manley?...I can't stand Kurtjmac though.

Thanks for the list of recommendations, I'll go to the Addon Requests about the CoT thing.
