re: Kerbal Space Program: Post your pictures and mission stories

When did they say this?

When was that? I bought it during winter sale.

I just spent something like six hours and probably 5 Kerbal years getting Jebediah back from a failed approach to Duna with little fuel. He was coming into the atmosphere at 30,000 m/s or something dumb like that

Ya, he was still attached to the lander (meant for Duna) which has four parachutes for landing plus the chute on the command module. Had to have pulled some serious G's.

I'll have new story tomorrow when I hopefully land on something not named Min or Minmus. sure it will be a disaster

So who all bought this prior to them making the announcement that there would be additions that you would have to pay for?

I bought it way prior to steam having it.

This shot is back from early 2012, all you had to go to was the Mun.

No landing struts in the game yet, had to land on wing parts. No EVA either, only had a 3 person command module and pretty much the standard 1 person parts. All the big parts came later.

Some more goodies from the past, my lack of skills building a Mun rocket before I learned about asparagus staging. Still can't believe this piece of shite actually got the job done.



Finally found a landing on the Mun on just wing tips.

Ya, I need to look into these people who build refueling depots and bases (allegedly). Maybe you have to set all that stuff up first to be able to return.

Duna is very easy once you figure it out. It's not much more difficult than a Minmus landing, requires just a bit more fuel. Scott Manley can land on Duna and it's moon on a single orange fuel tank and get home.

I don't know how people do Eve and get off without using Kethane or Biofuel mods or just straight up cheating, I haven't watched any tutorials on it yet though. Eve is just way hard to get off the surface with it's atmosphere. Would take me forever getting all the pieces out there to attempt it and get off with how much fuel I think I would need and then landing that rocket would be a freakin nightmare. You need something bigger than getting off Kermin.

this game seems very interesting. Not sure if itll be worth the 27 bucks for an extremely casual gamer like myself.

Stupid question: does it require a mouse or could I load this game on my laptop and play without any problem?

bump.

Anything new?

I'll go from total failure to putting Kerbals within 10 feet of my target overnight.

Oh same. I couldn't land on the Mun or Minmus to save my life. The first time you do it though, it's automatic the rest of the time. I'm thinking of sending a recruit to Eve and just leaving him there until I can find a way to rescue him. I want to explore Eve but I don't want to wait until I find a rocket model that can get them back.
