Hi, all. I've been playing around with KSP for a goodly while now (about six months?) and after having finally mastered orbital rendezvous/docking and doing successful Minmus landings, I'm delving into seeing what mods can do for the game. Tossing a Kerbal into a near-vertical reentry trajectory may be easy and straightforward, but it's not very realistic.

Love the game, love what I've seen of the community so far. Best wishes.

Welcome to the forums! At least half the community always seems to be on the mod forums, I'm sure you'll find some mods you'll love. And in case you haven't heard of it, the mod you're looking for is Deadly Reentry.

I've been experimenting with Better Than Starting Manned, which includes Deadly Reentry as part of the kit. It's a fascinating learning experience, and teaching me that I am not quite as good at this game as I though I was. XD No unplanned vehicular disassemblies yet, but I'm frequently ending up with a rocket that doesn't quite do what I'd thought it would.
