| Geirskogul posted:Something like KAS (but not KAS due to madstatistics) would make that mainsail test easier. Hell, my main method of glomping asteroids is to eject 4 KAS grappling claws into it and pull it to the side of my ship, like an octopus grabbing prey and pulling it inwards into its beak What's the deal with KAS and statistics? I was actually thinking of installing it. |

| Arsonide posted:It's not luck, it's providence. No I have a thing for procedural stuff. Ever since I played Elite, I've had a thing for procedural stuff, and I tend to love any game with it, as it extends replayability by miles. I already like Kerbal Space Program, so this is going to shoot it up a lot. I'm quite hyped and give zero f*cks who cares. I'm not 100% sure, but I have a feeling you might be excited about the upcoming release. |

Some of those essays are management consulting reports that cost a million bucks and get delivered by helicopter. They still don't make sense. |

| Does Procedural Fairings actually work in 0.24? I DL the latest and it comes up with a warning about KSPAPIExtensions, and KER doesn't work in flight. I then tried deleting the KSPAPIExtensions DLL but that whole thing froze on startup. This is all on Mac 32bit. e: Apologies, it's been updated for 0.24 10 hours ago. DL now. Should have checked again before posting. Unimpressed f*cked around with this message at 02:07 on Jul 21, 2014 |

" case, so now I can redownload this and do it right! 
| I need some help with NEAR. I have this rocket and it flies fine without NEAR, but with NEAR it just topples over and is in general very hard to control. I assume it is because the stabiliser fins have less authority due to reduced air pressure with NEAR. So any tips for flying/designing a long, (mostly) serially staged rocket? In terms of weight, the SRB stage is 15.9t, the bottom 3xLF stage is 22.3, the single LF stage is 10.1 and the actual payload (under the fairings) is 4.3t, so as far as I understand it, it's not too top heavy.

| The Green Calx posted:It probably has to do with your flight profile. Since it's based off of FAR, NEAR changes the way aerodynamics affect your ship when you're going through the atmosphere, so the typical fly to 10k then start your gravity turn won't work. Thanks. I tried this and many other variations, with SAS on and without, but to no avail. SAS makes the whole thing oscillate, and even without it on, eventually it loses control and tips over. If I try to keep straight up for a while, it oscillates and flips and if I gently tip it it slowly exacerbates the tip and flips. Really frustrating. quote:Also the upper control surfaces can be detrimental. Make sure your centre of lift is below the centre of mass in each stage. Yeah, I tried a few times without those and only added them for my last couple of attempts. Centre of lift is under CoM for at least the first two stages (SRB and then main LF engines) and the problem happens well within those stages. Could this possibly have something to do with having three engines? I read somewhere that KSP doesn't like 3 so much due to rounding errors, but the only adapter you get early on in the career mode is the tri-adapter... |

| FISHMANPET posted:I feel like this game doesn't offer a really great sense of advancement. I'd like if the career mode was a little more guided, or there was a campaign that slowly introduced all the parts to you (though maybe that goes against the spirit of the game). I tried career, and I ran out of money, so I tried out science, but the repeated identical launches felt tedious, and also I had no idea what to do with the parts I was unlocking. And sandbox is just overwhelming getting everything at once. So landing on the Mun looks like great fun, but I don't know how I'm supposed to develop the skills to actually do that. Maybe this will provide some inspiration: http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Campaigns |

| Peas and Rice posted:So I open the map to keep an eye on my Ap and cut the engines when it shows as 100km - and then begin a maneuver to get to orbit. I drag the prograde setting out to establish an orbit, and I'm usually seeing an Ap of 350km vs an Pe of like 70km on that maneuver, which leads me to believe my launch arc is just too steep (IE, I'm not turning soon / far enough). As an aside, could I suggest you install at least Kerbal Engineer (http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/18230-0-24-2-Kerbal-Engineer-Redux-v0-6-2-10-and-v1-0-8-1)? Looking up your orbital data on the map is a real hassle and you're much better off with a proper display. |

In fact, we should all actually be upset with you, because your outlier of excellent early access has caused lots of us (myself included) to spend too much on other EA projects that offer far too little. Just kidding, I'm not upset with you at all  |
