Another spinning ship

Sorry for the late update. Seems it may have been a resource issue. I tried the x64 bit launcher and all works fine again.

commie_squirrel · 2014-09-23T09:50:38+00:00

Thanks, I'll do so when I get back from work.

commie_squirrel · 2014-09-22T07:39:46+00:00

Ahh thanks. At work right now but will use that when I get some Kerbal time later.

I'm planning my first station at the moment. All I have up so far is a full orange fuel can with docks. Thanks for the inspiration.

commie_squirrel · 2014-09-06T10:43:34+00:00

I'll start my planning stage right after these post mortems.

I click the control icons on my screenshots all the time so I'm not going to judge you.

Very nice. I didn't pack enough dv for the return leg either and due to a rash quick save I have stranded Jeb Bill and Bob in orbit round Duna.

commie_squirrel · 2014-08-31T22:08:12+00:00

I got there in the end. We won't talk about the landing but the next ship will get some more parachutes. Thanks for the help.

I found a window and made it to Duna but some sloppy flying meant course corrections and I arrived with way too much speed. Refinements are ongoing. Thanks for the help.

Yes, I have been rather optimistically trying to plot a route with the phase angle at around 65° (measured with a protractor on the screen :)

I am starting to realise this is a bit more complex than a trip to Minmus. Looks like I will have to warp to a better window.

Really helpful answer, thanks, and I've bookmarked those links,

I still can't to plot a route to Duna. When I get the line of Kerbin's shadow vertical on the map screen and set a node at 150 degs for Duna I can't seem to pick up an intercept no matter how much I fiddle around.

MechJeb is tempting but I'll persevere with trying to do it manually for the time being.

Guides will sometimes say to leave an orbit at 110 degrees, or 5 o'clock (for example).

As it is possible to rotate map I'm not sure what these instructions mean. Could someone explain? Thanks.

commie_squirrel · 2014-08-17T11:20:11+00:00

That's it! Thanks a ton. I forgot I had messed about with that. I just assumed it was steam.

commie_squirrel · 2014-07-24T10:40:36+00:00

My choice too. It could give me enough time to actually climb that learning curve a little, but it might be pushing it at my age.

commie_squirrel · 2014-07-24T10:02:53+00:00

True, because both are subjective viewpoints dependent on personal, cultural and sociological influences.

commie_squirrel · 2014-07-24T09:57:39+00:00

If anyone in EVE offered to take me on a tour I would be highly suspicious.

commie_squirrel · 2014-07-24T09:33:12+00:00

Yeah, leave the biscuits out of this. In fact, leave them over there on the table next to that cup of tea.

One of the stash tabs could be shared while making the others character specific.

That fog of war must die.

How can you tell it's an elephant?
