Nappi Posted December 30, 2015 Yeah, it seems that the only way to save an unkerbaled ship with no electricity is to mount a rescue operation and either supply the ship with electricity or extend the panels manually during EVA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoThatLimp Posted January 2, 2016 I'm playing a science campaign and after sending up several Kerbals into orbit I've decided to try making an airplane and taking science readings in the desert and the poles, my first design turned out fairly well despite my limited parts selection! Here is v2, a little heavier, a few more engines on a trip to the south pole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nappi Posted January 2, 2016 Cool stuff! I have not been playing around with space planes at all yet. Maybe I should. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted January 28, 2016 Yay, here's the Goldenrod Mk1, my first ship to make it all the way to the moon and back. I have successfully returned two astronauts from the moon via relay from Kerbin orbit, but this is the first one to make it all the way home. It was really close. I ran out of fuel with my orbit just kissing the atmosphere at 65k, so I had to get out and push a little, then wait for my orbit to decay. Next step is to get good enough an Munar landings to land next to my stranded Kerbal and bring her home. On another note, it turns out that you can get your Kerbal rocket 3D printed right off their website. My wife slipped onto my computer and grabbed a save file. Unfortunately/Fortunately, she grabbed one of my more insane designs. It now sits on my desk to help me remember that more rockets isn't necessarily better.

Dewar Posted April 29, 2016 Kerbal Space Program 1.1.1 released yesterday, patching up a lot of bugs from the 1.1 release. The new lighting model is really nice, but man does it make it hard to land in the dark, lights or no. There's also still some interface glitches, but if you've taken a break, now is a good time to get back in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honestade Posted May 4, 2016 Accidentally bought this game just after the patch was realised (accidentally after the patch, I mean, not an accidental purchase). I played the alpha or beta or whatever way back in the day and struggled to the point where I gave up, but oh man this is good. Finally getting into a stable orbit after hours of effort and a kerbal massacre was one of the most satisfying computer game experiences I've had in a long time.
