Made a few adjustments in order to achieve what I felt was an optimum path to Mun, when suddenly Mun flew by and zooming out I found that the trajectory plot now went around the sun in a full circle. Then I just put it on full throttle and let it fly. I just made a 15 cylinder ship with three thrusters in the first stage and one in the second using the three way connector thing.

When I did make it to the orbit around sun it was accidental. I haven't been able to control flight in space as yet, or even make it to any orbit on purpose.

Like you use up the first stage to get into orbit, then drop that off. Also you need multi-staged thrust system. I'm pretty much a novice myself but a few things I've learned by hit and trial is that you need considerable amount of fuel to provide enough acceleration (say 6 cylinders) to merely make it out of the planet's gravity well. That's where the real fun came from King () I don't know if it's still there but in the old versions there were tons of mods available for more engines, rocket types and different stage separation devices. When i last visited there were tons of helpful people who could give you all kinds of advice, and the devs love throwing math and formulas around and showing off how deep the mechanics of their game are. If you've never had the fun of KSP then you really owe it to yourself to check it out.Ĭheck their forums and ask there. While you could always achieve orbit, it looks significantly "easier" to do so now. The newest version in the video kekvit post actually has orbit paths and a moon. It's amazing to see how far the game's come. The game strikes a really fun balance between legitimate rocket science (yeah, seriously) rocket design and simple silly fun. It was utterly hilarious to build rockets and have them critically fail on the launch pad. I remember playing with this way back when the version was.
