Are you interested in an all out fighter design or are you after a trainer type (slow but handles well at low altitude)? Fighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should check dependencies or requirements for the craft you want to download as some require heavily modded installs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Kerman Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Greetings and welcome to the forum, @Goran42. I'm sure you will get to the Mun. The good news is that if you make a rocket that can get to the Mun the same vessel will get you to Minmus but if you have any questions, please ask. We are a helpful and friendly group, here.

GillyMonster Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I've made a couple of posts within the last couple weeks, recently a third. The first two still need to be approved by moderators, how long does that usually take or did I forget to do something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've checked, and those two posts both appear to have been approved - they aren't on the approval queue and navigating to them shows them as being visible to everybody. I also checked on your profile, and it appears they are still visible there. I am not sure why you are seeing them as not approved. Maybe you need to refresh your browser cache? (F5 on most browsers, Your Mileage May Vary.) Let me know if things are still wonky. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conric005 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Hi! I am new here and loved the game so far. Does anyone have any ideas for a good starter rocket in science mode? I have this stuff (according to the tech tree) unlocked most recently: Basic Science Survivability Stability General Rocketry Any ideas? (maybe what i should get next?)

With that set, I think you should be able to actually safety get a Kerbal into orbit and back. I always focus on the nodes that give you more science equipment and solar power generation first. You can't get very far without batteries and panels! Welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Kerman Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Greetings and welcome to the forum, @Conric005. I agree with Geonovast about chasing the science nodes however I would also look at advanced rocketry to get access to the LX-909 terrier engine as it is light, efficient vacuum optimised.

kamphare Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Hello everyone! Long time lurker here! I'm here to try to get some pointers / help on how to set up my HOTAS (CH pro throttle and fighterstick) And also gladly taking tips on gameplay mods to try out! For now though I'm only saying hi and hey. Glad to be a part of the community! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalBiggles57 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hi Everyone, I bought KSP two days ago and I'm already hooked:) I'm really enjoying the game with the exception of the contract system on career mode. I find myself increasingly frustrated as I seem to finish contracts judging by the green ticks on the contract in the flight screen but when I recover the craft the contract is incomplete. Can anyone give me any pointers please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone give me any pointers please? I think I see what's going on. The green ticks on the contract just check that all the various conditions for completion are being met. For some contracts, that's all you need. For others, the contract wants you to do something once all the conditions are met. For example, some of the part test contracts say "Haul item XYZ". In this case, you just have to have the appropriate part on your ship, and once all the requirements are checked off, the contract automatically completes. Other contracts, however, say "Test item XYZ". For those contracts, you have to first meet all the requirements (the green check marks) and then test the item. If the item can be staged, then you must use the stage command (space bar) to test the part. For items that cannot be staged (like landing gear), you'll need to right click on the part and press the "Test part" button in the pop up menu. This will complete the contract. And just FYI, for engines, you can still stage them even if they're already in use. For example, if you have a contract that wants you to test an engine at, say, 6,000 meters altitude, but you want to use that engine right off the launchpad/runway, you can still make that work. Once you're in the air, you can rearrange the staging list so that that engine is on the next stage. Then you can stage it with the spacebar and complete the contract, even if it's already running. My guess is that the contracts you're having trouble with are part test contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalBiggles57 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hi Ten Key, thanks for the reply and the good advice I'll try what you suggest. In the middle of the night I had an idea what the problem might be; I didn't have an antenna on the ships so maybe that's needed to let KSC know that the contract has been completed.

Howdidigethere Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Hello,I’m just another new member wondering how to dock and undock on console,I also have problems getting an encounter with Evan the moon,though I have got loads of ships to solar orbit,please help!

James Kerman Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Greetings and welcome to the forum, @Howdidigethere. While I cant help you with console commands for docking, getting encounters with the various planets and moons in the game (efficiently using a Hoffman maneuver) is achieved by using a transfer window. Usually I will burn for a rough encounter (stop as soon as I get an intercept) and correct my trajectory halfway through transit so that I fly close to the planet/moon and maximize the oberth effect when making orbit. In short you need to burn for a planet when it is at a particular phase angle from Kerbin. This website explains the concept and provides a calculator:http://ksp.olex.biz/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdidigethere Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Although this may seem kind off odd for me to ask,but can I ask how to rank up? Is it to do with time on the forums,content count or some other ranking system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, you can also set your own custom rank, as many people do, through your profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
