Kerbal Space Program!

[MaJ.P.Bouras]

Amazing game really! Got me awake all night trying to figure out a way to fly it right!

I got to 10000m just now, but I'm stuggling with a problem.  All my first stages remain stuck to the launch pad.

[:| Hi]

Its cause the British don't have much of a space program ^^


First stages as in 06? I would go over the connections and make sure everything is layered right

[LuckyOne]

my current record is around the 240 000 m mark... Don't think I'm gonna get a lot higher...

EDIT: Seems I will after all... still far from Ajs' result though... 2744700 is the max height according to mission log... I must have missed to screen it cause I was busy looking at the new update!

[Eat Uranium]

Nah, I worked out it was because I had too little thrust and too much weight.  Already my current mission is at 1000km alt at 1900m/s

[MaJ.P.Bouras]

My record is at 540.000 ....I had a screenshot but i forgot to paste it at ms paint...Oh well. I will try again.

[MaJ.P.Bouras]

Made it all the way to 1.906k  (1.906.000)

Good fun waiting for 2.4!

After a lot of unfortunate accidents ... Couldn't really get the orbit going alas, burned everything when I realized I was going somewhere. At least the boys lived this time



Went back to a simple design, double barrels, adjustable burn. Tricky to keep steady but good burns.

Now to kill more Kerbanauts.. I mean expand on this pearl of the motherland.

[Zeno]

post your starting designs! (what you start with on the lauchpad)

[MaJ.P.Bouras]

This is the one which i started with. All the rest usually are similar to this one when i want to fly high but I also do have some crazy designs for fun :p



And this is my record flight (couldn't be arsed to wait till it landed)

[hslan.Corvax]

Suck it guys ! 1.7k when the engines went out. Speed was nearly 6500 m/s, and now im gliding around in space, still going 4500 m/s and already at 3.2 distance. Fueled flight time where 12 minutes :O

Ill post a screen when i stop or something, if ever ..

[hslan.Corvax]

Ah nvm aborted .. Took too long, i want to blow shit up

Heres the last before abort and the rocket itself. 12 liquide engines with two tanks for liftoff taking this baby to nearly 600 m/s when the first stage burns out, then 9 solid boosters kicking it to nearly 1.5k m/s, a second stage of 6 solid boosters accelerating to another 3k m/s and then a singe liquid engine with 4 tanks for another 8 minutes of flight time at 75% engine power ending up at  4600 m/s and quite some distance

Now for a bigger longer flying design :>

[Archimonday]

Ive only been successful in creating Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles in this game, I've never made it to space.

download this guys for more wacky parts

For everyone with control problems ... Put an S.A.S module on top of at least every stage and press "F" the whole flight. That will stabilize your rocket greatly.
