Is there a good way to make a complete "sphere" or a guide for one? I've been trying to remake the Mars-94 ship from For All Mankind and thats the part I'm having trouble with

  Either they didn't play enough ksp or they played too much ksp.

Not KSP because no one extended/retracted the landing gear to try a tip over.

touché E for content: I tried making a missile that would land on the 8-n landing gears that would pop out of the nose. It was…bouncy. goatsestretchgoals fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Jan 26, 2024 |

The landing legs overheated while taking off and disintegrated.

Been playing a lot of KSP2 lately, have landed on the Mun and just put an orbiting satellite around Minmus. This is neat

Let's swerve aside from chat about how to pirate the game. marumaru, don't complain over and over about the devs being lazy and dumb and then advise people how to steal their work. Just play something else.

If KSP2 is going to encourage outer planet and moon landings (And basically require it in science mode) it really, really, really desperately needs an in game launch window tool and tutorial of some kind. I just spent like 7 years in game between running out of fuel in Duna orbit and recovering Jeb by doing the rescue mission and back. I have a lot of time in the original, I have no idea how someone new to the game will be handling this.

Any of you got a good stable ckan modlist with USI, etc? I don't want stuff like RSS, just normal sized ksp centered around building bases in orbit and dealing with something like remotetech or whatever is updated.

Been playing ksp2 with a modlist of Where’s my crew capsule, commnet reborn, and the combo of k2d2/maneuver node manager/flight planner/micro engineer that replaces mechjeb, and I’ve been having a lot of fun so far. The ksp2 exploration mission system is perfect for me, and WMCC deepening the tech tree and making at least a fig leaf of using probes hits just right. People with a couple hundred/thousand hours in 1 probably won’t get much out of it

decided to do something new and start a career using unkerballed start while still sticking to 30% science returns. it's going great! https://clips.twitch.tv/SmellyBoxyRamenNotATK-OB3uKkSg_0zZuepO this was like, over half an hour into trying to figure out a way to get enough science to unlock the very first node.

if you haven't watched the Starshit launch, everyone ITT needs to at least watch the Scott Manley video for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8htMpR7mnaM&t=907s watching a huge rocket re-enter in a tumbling rear end-first ball of fire was the most Kerbal thing and gave me very strong deja vu from some of my own rockets DEEP STATE PLOT posted:decided to do something new and start a career using unkerballed start while still sticking to 30% science returns. it's going great! tip: you need to make it longer and position the fins lower, to put enough drag behind CoM to balance the drag from the nose. offset the 2 outer boosters lower, and the fins to the bottom of their boosters. then stage the 3 boosters such that the 2 outer ones run first and then the inner one. That will move the CoM forward earlier in the flight, making it marginally more stable.

Klyith posted:if you haven't watched the Starshit launch, everyone ITT needs to at least watch the Scott Manley video for it: trust me, i know all if this and tried it. the problem i was having is that without sas, or indeed any sort of control at all, absolutely nothing i did was preventing the rocket from very slowly tipping to one side (specifically to the west, every single time, no matter what i did to the design, to the point where it felt like a bug) and therefore failing to reach the upper atmosphere, which i needed to do to get enough science to unlock literally anything. it's why i was trying spin stabilization, something i never typically do. i eventually sorted things by remembering i had accepted a contract to test the tt-38 decoupler and used that to attach the outer srbs and put fins on the middle srb, which put me straight into space. to be honest though, without that contract or something similar, 30% science with unkerballed is close to a softlock at the start. you have so few options that you can't even control your rocket to go to a different biome or even cheese things with ksc mini-biome science. it definitely was not a mod intended to be played the way i tend to play ksp. but i got past that roadblock and can almost reach orbit now, yay.

   Was a little tricky, ended up being easier to have a single stage but with different thrust settings -- outer 85%, inner 50%. Fights hard against max q most of the way up, lots of drag loss. But easily makes it to "flying high" zone. Slowly tipping to the side is just gravity. Spin stabilization helps but can only slow it down, not stop it all together. If you have a good design you can make this a gravity turn so your rocket goes to orbit with minimal controls. Quickly flipping out is drag being too high, such that the force above the CoM is much greater than behind the CoM. That's a sign that you need to reshape the craft to balance drag, or reduce thrust so the drag load isn't so high. (I needed to do both to make that 3-mite rocket work.) Too much thrust is a common KSP mistake. DEEP STATE PLOT posted:to be honest though, without that contract or something similar, 30% science with unkerballed is close to a softlock at the start. Yeah my experience with rescale + stock parts is similar but less drastic. You need enough science to get somewhere before you can get science. Easy solution is give yourself some starting science points, enough to unlock a couple early nodes.

a bit disappointing that the "orbital colonies"... are just normal space stations with spinny bits. they dont even look particularly large, and are certainly not up there in part count, which suggests they haven't really figured out a way to optimize those

I'm excited for moving parts! Less so for the bugs they'll inevitably come with. BTW what should an orbital colony look like but a big station? I guess O'Neil cylinders would be cool but I was never expecting that personally.

those KSP2 colonies are a parts-based system just like the rest of the game, just different parts selection so if you wanted to make a huge 5km-wide million-part station I'm guessing you can not in 2025 when the colonies are added to the game of course. in 2030, when your PC has the power to run it.

I mean it looks fine to me. What I’m wondering about is how much of the ring is individual parts vs one big massive part.
