Kerbals are the creatures, kerbin is the world. Kerbans are nothing.

[Neonivek]

Kerbans are nothing

Aren't they those things you wear on your head?

[Aseaheru]

Thats with a T. So yes, that IS a bad pun.

[Cthulhu]

Man, you can make space stations now?  How do you do that, send each piece up one at a time and put them together?  I could barely get a ship into space with as little extra weight as possible.

[LoSboccacc]

yep there is a docking port part which is kind of magnetic but you have to come very close and not too fast

I fired up 20.2 and now I can't get into orbit with rockets that got me to Jool previously what in the seven hells

pic of rocket? or a ship file would be even better

[Azated]

Using the asparagus stalk system is the only way I can get anything heavy into orbit. It works wonders, though.

[Rose]

Yeah, same here, and it works amazingly well, though my rockets with it do get a little silly.

[Putnam]

I just JATO the hell out of it.

[Rose]

I don't think I've ever JATO'd.

[Rose]

In fact, efficiency is for pussies.

[Rose]

Yeah, but how heavy is the payload and how far does it go? Mine takes a massive rover and lands it on one Bop.

They revamped some numbers. I think mainsails are less powerful, some things are heavier and the giant solars only do half as much.

[Cthulhu]

Pff, you kids your delta v and your map mode, pff.

Last time I played this it was free, and there was no map mode, and there was no Mun, and if you wanted to orbit you had to do it first-person with no projections.

My Kerbal space program is progressing reasonably well.  First came the Mk1 unmanned rocket, which was too big and complex for the job and was scrapped after a few failed missions.  The Mk2 was an experimental design with a spaceplane-like payload riding on the back of the main booster.  Something something center of mass, it failed in every possible way.

Finally a simplified version of the Mk1, the Mk3, made it into stable orbit but the batteries died and it became the first permanent satellite.  The Mk3-b (for batteries!) successfully made a full orbital revolution and reentry.

Then came the Mk3-m manned rocket, which, with some modifications, did all of the above with kerbals onboard.  No deaths.

Next I'm working on Kerbnik, the first intentionally permanent satellite.  Then maybe some unmanned Mun probes and finally landing on Mun.  After that I'm gonna have to figure out this crazy fucking space station shit I guess.
