Freudian posted:Remembered to get the drat thing on a polar orbit, but even that seems to be doing squat. I feel like I'm missing something really obvious here. Have you set it to display what it finds? If you're not using ScanSat, I think you need to right click on the detector and check "display karbonite concentrations" or some such thing.

Philonius posted:It's a shame, cause I really like the notion of a slightly more realistic progression. I would love a career mode were you start off with RoverDude's sounding rockets and have to work your way up to Sputnik-type probes and finally manned flights. Ideally, with RemoteTech style comms rules (plus allowing you to program nodes into the flight computer in the VAB). That would even be great for the stock game, though it's bot very compatible with the whole climb-aboard-and-light-it-up ethos that I love in KSP.

Main Paineframe posted:Is there a timeline on when 1.0 is coming out yet? I know there probably isn't, but I really wish there was, because I'm not starting a whole new career game for 0.90 and digging up 0.90 versions of all the mods if 1.0 is going to come out in a month and break everything all over again. I think the latest update said to expect a longer-than-usual cycle leading up to 1.0. Ed: found it, from the Squadcast, as quoted by @KerbalSpaceP: https://twitter.com/KerbalSpaceP/status/561324354773204994 "Don't expect this one (the update) to go short.

DreadLlama posted:How about, "Kerbol is expanding to a Red Giant. Moho will be destroyed in a decade; Kerbin in 3. Evacuate to Laythe." This is just the wrong tone, though. It's far too serious and grim for a game about little green people who like to climb aboard any sort of ridiculous spit-and-baling-wire rocket contraption and seeing if it blows up or flies. I'd hate to lose the goofy vibe it has now.

Thwomp posted:Laythe has been preliminary found to have lakes of beer/cheese/beer-cheese soup. You must colonize this world. That's fine for a mission pack / DLC or something, but I like that right now it's just these little green folks, and they have a space program. There are contracts if you want something defined to do, but basically you make your own goals and set out to get there. What's wrong with that?

I'm sure I've missed this somewhere in the last 30-40 pages, but what's the current thinking on the best way to get MechJeb to play nice with FAR? I'd really like to be able to use the Ascent Guidance module to handle the dozens of routine launches I have planned.

Mukaikubo posted:Yeah, that's fair. The only one I've found on my own is that AntennaRange is completely no bueno with RemoteTech. That one you'd think would be in the spec files, given that the two mods do fairly similar things with the same family of parts.

Warmachine posted:I am 100% sure my Jeb died when he decided to jetpack around the Mun with no regard to the dangers of high velocity landings. So imagine my surprise to find him chilling in the astronaut complex after the three remaining crew (two from Jebs mission, one from the Munstation) return home. Jeb is above such petty concepts as "death". If the player can't get him home safely, he'll do it himself.

My Moho orbiter just refused to perform its orbital insertion burn, and I can't figure out why. I have fully-charged batteries, RemoteTech reports that the connection back to Kerbin is "nominal", and it starts the burn just fine, but when I need to stage to complete the burn, the command shows up on the flight computer window for an instant and then disappears. (There's about a 45s delay right now, but waiting that long doesn't help anything to happen.) Any other command that I try to give has the same results -- shows up for an instant, then disappears, and nothing happens. What am I missing?

Concerned Citizen posted:That's the thing that turns me off of KSP every time I play. I want to visit other planets, but it seems like I need to download mods or have a calculator open in a second window to make it feasible. Well, that's the thing -- spaceflight is hard. KSP makes it a lot less difficult than in real life, but flying to another planet is still not an easy thing to do.

Chev posted:I can put pretty basic stayputnik rockets in orbit, haven't seen one explode, so I'm gonna vote "too fast" too. With the new aerodynamics it's really easy and tempting to let them ascend super fast. This. If you're seeing the shockwave or heating effects while you're ascending, you're going too fast and should throttle back.

Flagrant Abuse posted:Also, for the guy having trouble with Mun intercepts, you can use MechJeb's manoeuvre planner for a hohmann transfer, but then tweak it manually before you execute so that you can have your periapsis about where you want it, on either side of the Mun, in one burn. PreciseNode is great for this, too.
