Jadago Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Hello Kerbonauts :-) I'm not so new to KSP and I've been playing since version 1.2 but I'm quite fresh to this forum. So I'd like to say hello to everyone! Nice Greetings Jadago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jozay Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Hello! I've been playing since 1.2 and have been browsing the forms for mods and support, but never made it out to introduce myself. I have a love/hate relationship with the game so far where it eats up most of my time where I can't play any other games, and when I do find a place to brake away and try something else... KSP eventually manages to bring me right back into its sphere of influence. I'm currently trying my hand at trying to recover mostly all of my stages even though some may not be as cost effective, but I like the challenge. I'm interested in moving up to a SpaceX style launch and recover one day, and even using KOS to try and make the recovery process autonomous. Enough about me though... Looking forward to chatting with others in the forums more often. Thanks, Jozay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ho Lam Kerman Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Wait, what? There's a limit to how many reactions you can give in a day? Because I just got a sign saying: "Sorry, you are unable to give any more reactions today." Or something along those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman979 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Welcome aboard, @Jozay! That's the thing about gravity- it always brings you back. @Ho Lam Kerman there is a limit on the amount of reputation you can give per day. It's 25 now, but it used to be 5, and each on was worth five times as much. In the end it all evens out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much a cheat sheet, as design can vary wildly. But there are a few basics that are essential for rockets. Pointy end goes up, hot end points down. You want to keep your Center Of Mass as far up/forward as you can to prevent flipping. You also want to keep your drag as far down/back as you can to prevent flipping. This generally means putting in fairings on the payload when it has a lot of radially attached parts, and putting fins on the bottom. But there's a balance - too many fins or unnecessary fairings will waste fuel. Going straight up / cranking 90 degrees / flooring it to get to orbit is incredibly inefficient. You'll want to research gravity turns. Double, Triple, Quadruple check your staging before launch. Normally I'd recommend KER, but since you're on a console, you may want to brush up on manual dV calculations to make sure your rockets can get where they're going. It's best to ask specific questions, with pictures when you need help! It's much easier to give advice when it can be specific based on what you already have.

DunaManiac Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I played this game since a long time ago. Back then, I never knew how to dock. The first mission I had to another planet was jool, which was completely on Accident. I was trying to escape from the sun. I had an old account, called KerbalXer, but I forgot the password, so I now have DunaManiac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNordicToast Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) So thing is I have a discord server I use to organize a stock war in KSP with the new LMP multiplayer mod. Well semi-stock. Anyways I was wondering if posting a link and some info about it to get more members would be too much on the side of advertising. It does have to do with KSP so it should be okay right? Edited June 30, 2018 by TheNordicToast Because I wanted to say why I wanted to post the thing. It's to get more members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansonKerman Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hi peeps. I just had a teensy question: What is a PM and how do I do one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, how didja do it? That's usually what matters. Normally I'd recommend KAC for launch windows, but like @Ho Lam Kerman said, try using this book I know called The Kerbal Player's Guide for your calculations. It tells you how (basically) to get to Duna. It was a Christmas present, though, so I dunno where to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
