Time to deploy satellites!

alien technology

>>11223 I can't help it! :D
Too many problems at first, then too much fun! :S

wow.. 100+ comments on this thread XD

I have achieved a high orbit!
You can still see the last stage in a lower orbit! (marked in red)
This was the three stage nightmare raocket! It took me forever to get the proper sequence to get the two QL-X Decouplers to work in the correct order!

Don't get the one called "smallengine"! The game won't load! :S
I removed it, and it's working now!
It also alerted me to the new version when it loaded! I ignored it! :p

The QL-X Decoupler works great! It's a three piece item! There's a thin decoupler base, (ring) and a decoupler clutch, (the red thing on the shroud in the middle of the pic) and the decoupler shroud! You can put it around the LV-t30 type engines! I haven't tried it on others yet!

>>11204 See?! :p
I wasn't going to mess with it!
Right now I'm looking over the Lunar lander, and looking for those four panel stage couplers!

DON'T DELETE THE PREVIOUS VERSION!!!

version 0.9 suxx

>>11200 Very cool!
>>11201 I had the .9 when all of it started screwing up! It had stablizing rods (that I miss) that were nice to have with triple rockets!
They have a lunar lander that I'm going to try to install! They need a Moon on the game, so we can try a lunar landing!

A new version is out: 0.9!!

O.P.A. works good for speed, but creates a rotation effect. And also builds up heat fast!

How's this for a rocket! ;)

*Consumption*

I had only 102 on this one!
The OPA work well keeping the speed up with minimal fuel consuption!
Gotta go to work now! ;(

ha! most G force endured: 1032G!!

>>11173 I saw that one! I thought about it, but I didn't want to screw u[ the game again!
>>11174 I haven't killed anyone since I got the new parts, so that may have helped! ;)

I moved my crew at +15G and survived, so..

>>11168 http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=537.0

Gotta have this one!

Just how far do you have to be to get away the the planets gravitational pull!? It's like trying to get away from a fat chick at a bar! ;D
So far I'm at 3,000,000k at 6000m/s!

>>11164 they don't when you use the warp engines! :D
The Ion engine gets it moving pretty good in space with almost no G-force! You can use the very end of the warp engine with just plain fuel tanks! Pretty efficient too! One warp engine, and one fuel tank got it in orbit!
I've been testing the OPA module, and you can chase your ejected rocket stages with it! XD

I saw that Ion engine..but it doesn't go so fast
my current speed is 17905.2m/s for about 3hours or so ;) I do like the struts you have there >>11161 Don't they drag or destabilize the rocket?

I have an Ion engine! Space use only! :p

Things are running smoothly now! :D
The O.P.A. Module (orbital path alteration) has a low controllable thrust, which can also be used to slow your landing when four chutes won't do it! ;D

Does anyone know if our brave Kermanauts have an air supply? I've noticed a grey beam over their names and I don't know what that means..or it could be a glitch.

Whoop! Never mind! I used my brain, and I think I have it going now! I have the orbiter MOD on the game now! I'm just going to have to be careful! :S

I think the excelsior pack is faulty.

just delete the old ksp folder and extract ksp_win_0_8_5 to where ever you want.

same steps as b4
make sure to double click any rar/zip files

Do I need to make a new file somehow?! Now the KSP is not showing up on the "extract to" window! :(

I tried to download the excelsior pack, and that has fucked it all up!

It's really pissing me off! I'm doing everything like before, and it's not working! It says the files are in there, but they are not showing up on the game!

at least now you know how to install everything ;)

And now something else is wrong! Now the game won't load! I'm going to have start over I guess!

Well it WAS the orbiter stablizer that I haven't figured out, but not I've lost all of it for some reason! I tried to download some more parts, and now it's all gone! FUCK!

what config you have on stage \\\2?

LOL!
I think Bill, Jeb, and Bob are in over their heads now! I have the throttle very low, andthe G's are out of the green! i have some testing to do now! thanks again! :D

your welcome, see you in space!

Success!!!!
I had tried that already, and it had not worked!
It may have been because I had both version of the game downloaded! I deleted the older version, and now I have Warp Nacelles!! :p
I'll keep trying to get the other parts!
Thank you so much for the help! :D :D

YESSSSSSSS FIANALLYYYY!!! Extract those 2 files to I:\KPS\Parts

and voilá!!

I have been double clicking, and here's what I get!

allright, first I use 7zip, and it gives me 2 files: 'opaModule' and 'opaTank'

SeaFox, try double clicking on the OPA Module zip/rar. What do you see now?

found it: http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=385.0

Is this it?!>>11074 http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/

can't find that download..gimme the link!

try extracting it to an empty folder first
check if it got any contains in that folder
if so, move it to ksp/parts folder

I'll check the OPA module file too.

What I have looks a little different!
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong!
Here's what I have!
I ckicked on OPA module, then click "Extract to", then choose the parts, and ckick "ok", but when I start the game, it's not there! I've tried it a few times, and it keeps over-writing the file, but I don't see it in there!

Then you should expand the My Book (I:)
[press on the '+' left of MY BOOK(I:)]

search where you see the KSP folder, expand that to see 'Parts' select that Parts folder and click ok

Since you were too busy looking at the XXX, you didn't see the KSP right under it! All the things you circled are where external memory (like an SD card) plug into!
The KSP file is in the "My Book" external hard drive! The KSP file won't show up in the "Extraction path and options" window!
Should I download it again to somewhere else?!
And the XXX is where I keep the stuff I put on here or take it off of here! It makes it easier to find! I keep the porn in the DVD player! ;D

hahaha..what's the map with XXX? :D

where did you install KSP?
Search that on the right side..

Sorry about the typos! It must be the six heinekens! ;)

Damn it!!
I'm clicking on OPA Module V2, and then on "Extract to" and I'm not getting the correct file to move ot to! What am I doing wrong!? Once again, I hate WinZip/WimRaR!

after 1h30 I finally reached...:

yep, same shit. extract to KSP/Parts folder

huh, I reinstalled the game and made a new pocket rocket..and guess what? I'm going only 19359.2 m/s for about 8 minutes and counting now ;)

>>11107
lol :)
Spaaaaaaaaaaaace :)

>>11108
yep
This will open a window which should help you extract the files to the appropriate folder
(..\ksp\parts\)

>>11106 I have WinRaR (evaluation copy)!
And it says "Extract to" Does that help?!

Thx! I altered it a bit ;)

>>11102 First of all, you need to check if you actually have Winzip or Winrar on your computer.

When you you do, just right click on the zip file and chose "extract".

In the opened window, choose the file destination.

>>11103
This is the texture file to put in the "parts\mk1pod\textures" folder. Don't forget to backup the files there.

I did finally get some distance, but I killed them doing it!

Take a deep breath, SeaFox. Just relax..

Nice work, will you make this available for us too?

I hate to be a pain in the ass, but I've been trying make it work! It says to "copy the two folders into KSP/Parts." And I guess I don;t know how to do that, because I've tried! AND I don't know how to unzip files! I've never messed with zip files, because I can never make them work! :( I've really been trying though!

unzip everything to the "parts" folder.

Here's a new skin I've made for the landing module. Abit more rusty look. and a screaming Kerbal inside

I'm fucking up again! Where am I supposed to download the mods to!? I pretty much never use this WinZip file thingy!
I've downloaded the OPA Module V2 ,but not to the correct file! Sorry I'm so stupid! :/

your welcome, and go hug your dog!

>>11091 Afraid?

Ahh! I see now! I knew you would have the answer! Thank you! ;)
I need a hug! ;D

>>11089 I see you downloaded the SDK (Software Development Kit). That's for CREATING things.
The Actual addons are here:
http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=1633.0

>>11089
Unzip it to the "parts" folder and go play the game, it will wait there for you

what the fuck?? looks like fun, but i can't get into anymore games!

Well, I knew I'd fuck it up! All I'm getting is this! I hate WinZip! >:(

>>11074 Ok! I'm giving it a shot! I hope I'm downloading the correct thing! :)

The first warp engines were side attached, but once they got ignited, they moved to the middle of the ship, cut off the landing module and exploded everything.
The last thing I saw was Jeb's smile as he exploded.
I changed the module's files, so I can't recreate the design anymore

You've entered the dark side ;)

What's your biggest fuck-up? Pics for proof

The other side of Kerbal

FOX, Go to the forum on http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/ Join up and start downloading..its simple to install!

btw there are 2 Star Trek engines: I installed 'Liquid Warp Nacelles Ver 1.1 and Junk Parts Pack' by Vaccer

And now I'll try 'Warp Nacelles' by Wavenarra

Will let you know :)

Here's what I did it with!

>>11061 Where the hell did you guys get warp engines?! That explains why I'm not getting the distance you are!
I did finally get over 500,000m with what I have!

>>11066
Cool :)
Thanks

>>11063
Ohhhh, you have a different warp engine than me.
What is the modules name? I'll download it

The original didn't had the second warp engine on top, so just warp + 7 fuel + SAS + decoupler + Command module + chute. This is the latest and hopefully more stable spacerocket.

>>11061
I can't, for the life of me, work out the warp engines. They allways crash into my comand module.
Can you show me the design?

>>11060 from top to bottom: parachute, command module, 7 original fuel tanks, warp engine ;) oh and on third and last fuel tank 6 or 8 stabilizing fins. It wasn't a straight line flight..I had to make lots of corrections and at the last stage it almost went bananas (horizontal), however I spaced ;) at the right moment and it just kept the same speed.

>>11059 a sudden 'explosion' or g-force blast can kill your crew. Lets see your design.

>>11055
I can't believe you got there before me. What parts did you use?

Well now I've lostthe touch! They keep dying for no apparent reason! The G's are good, everything looks good, then they die at 4000 m! :(

>>11056 I haven't escaped the gravitational pull yet! I've been testing out the sequencing, and came up with some good, and disastrous results! :D

I just noticed that Alt+Tab to post a screenshot isn't such a good idea ;)
I also noticed my speed at >>11055 wasn't increasing or decreasing. Could that mean I left this planet gravitational pull?

latest altitude..still going
also notice the speed :)

How about this for some altitude!?
Still working on some more!
You found a game that is just too fun! ;D

Hooray!!!!
Safe landing, with a apogee of 3800 m! Two stages, and the crew was horrified! XD

Straght up! Straight down! I couldn't get the staging to work! XD

I'm going through the tutorials right now! The instructions are hilarious! :D

And Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I can see my house from here

Let's get rid of the excess weight

It's an add on mod. There's plenty of those on the site.

I've finaly managed to brake the K berrier
Notice that Jeb is awesome

>>11019 how did you get those triple chutes?

>>11033 Thanx. I only had one succesfull landing and that was in the water

>>11037 idk ;) Go try this out, fox!

>>11023 Where have I seen that before?! ;D

>>11029
I have, after many crashes.
I'm trying to fly the ship into the sun, but I always get stuck before I can get out of Kerbal's gravitational pull.

Congratulations on your succesful flight. don't forget to ad the parachute module thingy

Here's a bit of fan art

YAY, +200.000M!! My men are alive and in space!

woops

Great find, FtCYP! Have you made it into space?

The Penetrator MkII

A traditional Grim landing

LOL

http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/

At least we arrived safely

Both Bob and Bill are scared shitless. Jeb just grins.
