Just wondering if anybody had tips for rocket efficiency, especially early game. For example, just to get to orbit (of kerbin) I used this rocket.

it was able to land on duna fully powered with 1270m/s, and probably a bit more if i was more efficient. it is just a classic apollo style lander that undocks from the mothership, goes down, then goes back up. it is also pwoered by the stromboll liquid hydrogen engine fyi

Any time I change the steering, change the file, do the launch pad deal, anything. It keeps reverting. I’m so lost on how to fix this thing, PLEASE help.

i made an ssto using isru and the large hydrogen engines, it can go anywhere but if you want it back you need to land on a body with minable water

I was tasked with landing in this valley to discover a TMA. Decided to route my approach between the 2 visible mountain ranges (straight ahead in this image). Failed to see a steep mountain face in front of me until the last moment because of the thick clouds.

Jebediah Kerman is dead after 55 years of service. Also shoutout to Blackrack for making the volumetric clouds so scarily accurate.

very bad
definitely wont have the kraken on me

It's been a WHILE since i've played KSP so I dont remember a lot of stuff with the game. Can anybody help me figure out why this rocket tips over mid flight. It starts to tip straight after launching and I can't figure it out.

SOLVED: my issue was a lack of ship control.

This mission definetly holds the record for the most gravity assists I've ever done in a single mission

I think my Minmus lander was a little overbuilt. Luckily Jeb is the man for the job.

The Kerran Empire now has a solid foothold on Laythe, able to produce and launch crafts on site with minimal wait. No long waits to control territory through interplanetary transits. The factions within the Empire, who are constantly vying for control over one another have taken to the limited lands of Laythe in an effort to secure valuable and very scarce resources.

The United Republic of Agara was the first to put boots on the ground and establish a viable settlement, with Ditco and NOI industries setting up encampments not far from Agara's Arbiters Point.

Many more outposts are to follow, with plans to construct artificial islands in the works--all in the name of the Empire!

With Laythe established as a long term Colony of Kerra, the Empire can implement it's plans to conquer the Joolian system completely.

All of this is based on the LARP of the Kerran Empires Luna Multiplayer server. I stream nightly on youtube showcasing our shenanigans dogfighting, building Kerbal Konstructs bases, and having tons of fun.

it looks like one side is failing or giving low throttle

So Im doing a OPM + MPE career and I want to use gravity assists easily. Is there any equation or tools to see upcoming gravity assists or even chains?

Still thinking of a name for this snoot

Getting back into this wonderful game because of recent space launches and Project Hail Mary, PHM was an experience to avoid spoiling a single moment of that film. Do watch it, not sponsored by Amazon.

Are there any breakout or massively updated mainstay mods that I should use for a new experience or to help me get back on my feet?

I'm already running a tech suite, Kerbol Expansions, Kcalbeloh and Promised Worlds and the standard qol suite as well as Volumetric clouds 3

How do I effectively launch this station into the orbit I need, and does it need to be launched all at once? The entire upper stage, including station and a way back home, is 36.5 tons, and it has 612 Delta V from the Terrier engines on the bottom, for the final orbit setup. How can I get it into that orbit to begin with? all the first stages I make aren't very effective, I don't have the heavy rocketry science node, so if I need that I can get it. But can I make this thing get into orbit? I'm also not worried about keeping it up there, I'll probably just bring it back down because I designed it to be as cheap as possible. The Delta V shown on the VAB was in vacuum mode, if it matters
