In case you don't know what the hell this little gem is, allow the following video be your guide you:




Not official but, just as good:



There has got to be more peeps out there playing this. If not. What the hell are you waiting for


SPACE AWAITS.

I'm waiting for the ICBM expansion.

[Knossos]

I have KSP Demo. Needless to say, I enjoy orbiting the Sun.

Been playing it for abit and its quite alot of fun.

Only managed to do a proper moon landing just yesterday

[Thelord444]

Why does everytime i see the pics and videos it seems cool but when i got it and played it, i didn't like it? must play it again now.

[The_Hunter]

^ it takes a fairbit of time and patience before you can build something that looks interesting and actualy works

[8igDaddy8lake]

I want to see them make a competitive mode with one player as basically NASA and the other as the USSR's space program. Would totally make Kerbin-tipped missiles, because everyone knows the hardest substance in the galaxy is a Kerbal's helmet.

[Comr4de]

It is supposed to be multiplayer eventually

[Serialkillerwhal...]

And I assume you can ram people with your rockets?

Why ram when you can do things like this;

I doubt that would stay entertaining for long i think the real selling point of multiplayer is to have cooperating space missions.

Like when attempting to setup a space station with 2 seperate modules you can both build a rocket with a core and expansion module and coordinate it together in order to get it docked space succesfully.

I played this game once and it really bugged me. It was a bit confusing, maybe because I don't watch the tutorials, but I also didn't like the overall look of the game. Especially those Kerbal people seem strange to me. Cute, but strange.

[Karpet]

I love watching what others build. A good YouTuber to watch KSP for is Robbaz, he makes some pretty good creations and he doesn't have boring 50 minute vids.

The ingame tutorials are VERY basic so i can't blame you on that one, specially since i started playing why before tutorials were ingame
have a pic:

It's all fun and games until your lander flips over on the Mun...or you encounter any number of catastrophic failures, including my ill-fated globe trotting plane that I flew up, turned into a dive to gain speed, and then suddenly nudged the controls and jerked back up, shearing off my wings. Poor Jeb, you will be missed

[Serialkillerwhal...]

It can't be THAT hard, it's not rocke scien-oh

[The_Hunter]

Part of the game is the learning curve however.

Its just fun seeing your rockets smash into the planet due to some horrible accident.
However once you get a basic hang of it its realy alot of fun building moonbases, research stations and space stations

some pics of stuff i build:


Moonbase with lab, and 2 rockets with room for 6 people to return back to Kerbin (earth equivelant in this game)



My basic space station with science lab, core observation deck and a return rocket with room for 3 people.

I've seen some pretty good mods for it too, some are really crazy, there are ones with helicopter materials, bombs, cannons, etc.
I tried KSP once but I did not know what to do. I think I was just stuck on the ground, I'm not sure, I MAY have managed to get off the ground - briefly.

[Serialkillerwhal...]

When I first started I decided to add a parachute to the rocket.

Sadly, they both triggered at once.

I was using solid fuel.

*Jots down design for smokescreen*

[The_Hunter]

^ and thats why you should make sure your rocket staging is setup correctly

[Serialkillerwhal...]

At that point I literally had no idea what "Rocket Staging" was XD

[Knossos]

As much as I really want to play more of KSP as a full version, the price tag is really stomping on my balls.

EDIT: I finally landed on the moon. At the speed of 425.7 m/s. I didn't know that it was that fast.

Seems like a plot to blow up the moon...actually, that would be a pretty awesome mod - drill a hole into Mun, then drop a nuke down to the core and watch the fireworks (plus destruction of Kerbin).

"blowing up" planets just send you to N/A hell
