KSP

No idea what this is but it sounds awesome Cheers!

 

I've played through the demo, and I realized just how much of a time dump it could be ( which is both FANTASTIC while doing a reboot, but not-so-great for getting away from the workstation). Nice job on the Apollo-Mu mission, btw!

 

Played for a while ... forgot everything about it

I loved experimenting with planes ... And watch them crash !

Rip Bill.

 

I love KSP! I mostly play in sandbox mode and use MechJeb for the tougher maneuvers.


Here's my first interplanetary ship in orbit around Duna. The smaller middle section is supposed to be a satellite I leave in orbit, but I forgot a crucial part, so it won't work if I leave it.

The left most portion is a lander with one kerbal (capacity for two, but only sent one). Before this screenshot was taken, it successfully undocked, landed, Jeb did an EVA, and it returned to orbit and redocked.

The right portion is for refueling the lander and the interplanetary maneuvers.


I also have a space station (it's actually my 3rd, but the only one in orbit right now) with fuel tanks for refueling and crew quarters currently. I plan on adding more to it later.

 

Tried to bring back my Duna lander, but ran out of fuel while still in extremely high Kerbin orbit due to an inelegant transfer from Duna.

Sent another main propulsion stage, which doubles as my refuel/rescue ship, to get everything back and took some screenshots of the launch and docking. A few of those pictures are in this Imgur album: http://imgur.com/a/Eyewz

Here are highlights:

Went back to Duna again today. Planted a flag in honor of NoFap. Forgive the typo. Kerbals aren't as well known for their grammar skills as their blowing up rocket skills.

 

So they go to space ... without knowing how to write ...

Seems A-okay

 

never played it but I'm absolutely fascinated by space and space flight and really orbital mechanics. But this is awesome!!!

 

It's a fun game. I highly recommend it!

It can be a little intimidating at first, unless you already understand some space flight and rocket basics. But once you get to orbit for the first time, then land on Mun (the moon of the Earth like planet you are based on) for the first time, and then start exploring the solar system, it's very gratifying! I like that it requires a bit more measured thought and effort than many games, while not overwhelming with details. It strikes a good balance.

 

Yeah I know some orbital mechanics. As long as I can use the real life formulas I should be fine.
