I suck so bad at this game. I've never even gotten close to the Mun.

New patch has flags for planting... and they can be customized.

I present...

Here are the four Aggie flags I've already made. In your KSP file, place the flags in Game data> Squad> Flags.

If you want to make your own, the size is 256x160, 72dpi, and the format is PNG.

I claimed Minmus and Duna for the Aggies this evening.

Nice!

Any good updates recently? It's been a couple months since I've played.

My first landing on the Mun! I'm way more excited about this than I should be.

Don't feel bad. That's hard stuff to pull off. The only reason I've managed landings outside Kerbin's sphere of influence is because I watched and copied several YouTube videos. Congrats.

On sale for $15 (33% off). And despite seeing myself say that I was going to buy this game at least four times previously in this thread I finally bought it today. Now to look at some mods.

Officially addicted now.

Got my first satellite in a stable orbit:


For the Kerbal vets, do satellites do anything? Transmit data or other stuff? All mine does now is orbit the earth and look cool.

Next it was time to go to the moon......in style, Apollo mod

Lift off:

Same camera shot they used in the Apollo 13 movie with Tom Hanks:


Almost there:




Now I just need to get the command module into a munar orbit so the L.E.M. Can get to the moon and rendezvous for the return trip.

Landed my first Kerbals on Duna and Eve yesterday, unfortunately for Jeb, Bill, and Bob, it was a one way trip.

FYI, .21 will break your save files, but not your ships. It's coming in 1-4 weeks.

Anyways, here are a few things I've worked on lately:

Finally got around to making a flag


Working on my mighty Magnus Habitat. Wanted to add the new cupola observation deck to it.


I forgot to add a probe to this stage so I could fly it away, so I had to do an EVA and manually shove it away from the station.


Slowly floating away


View from the new observation deck.


The station as it lives today. Houses 6 Kerbals, one fully fueled escape boat that seats 3, an observation deck, and a 4 port refueling depot for longer range ships. Everything is perfectly symmetrical too, I'm too OCD to allow anything but.

First time landing on Eve. Most surreal moments I've had yet playing KSP.

I learned how to do EVAs today!



Soon I'll attempt a Mun landing. I'm so glad I picked this up during the steam sale!

I dont really know the ins and outs of computer performance. So, my laptop really struggles running this sometimes. Would doubling my ram from 4 to 8 gb help at all?
Dell intel i5 with integrated graphics.

Cost-wise, RAM is the best upgrade you can make for a general performance boost. The integrated graphics may bottle-neck you though. Try turning down some of the graphic settings and see if it helps at all. Just be aware that when you blow up a launch vehicle with 20 rockets on it, your computer may melt.

I play the game on an dual core HP with integrated graphics. There's a reason I don't do anything too complex. The frame rate can start dying even with moderately sized ships going up. The only solution is to turn the graphics pretty much all the way down. The textures suck, but at least you can play it.

Also, the above comic is hilarious.

Been playing this game like crazy. I had some pretty awesome stuff going on in the previous versions. The mods are what make the game. You can do so much more with the mods. I had a kick ass VSTOL fighter in a previous version. Been working on planes lately.

Satellites don't do much, but if you download the mapping mod, you can put a probe around each planetary body and map the surface of each. You'll find some nice Easter Eggs on each planet and moon.

I haven't gotten into any mods yet, been having too much fun exploring the stock game.

Here's my first attempt at aerobraking:


Which eventually led to a Laythe orbit:

I played the demo and really enjoyed it, but as it stands there are not enough features to justify my purchasing. Maybe when I can start building and launching from the moon.... And when scientific instruments have use.

I'm waiting for it to download because of this thread... and because they have it for Linux!!
