I love spirals up to 50 pages, then everyone realizes it's Orbit Offline...

I love how you have no idea what's even going on and are making assumptions.

Its not even at 50 pages yet, I'm seeing 18.

I see 57.
You probably have it set to more posts per page than everyone else.

Why would you ever set it to less than the maximum? I'd set it to 500 posts per page if I could.

[Theodolus]

The only reason to have it less than the max is if you don't know it can be changed, or you have a slow net connection. For image heavy threads it could be really useful on slow connections. But yeah, I see 18 pages too.

[Aklyon]

Max is 50/page, btw.

[KaguroDraven]

Yeah, simple designs are often best.

I couldn't be bothered to actually see how far it could go. Pretty far, no doubt.

Just for fun I decided to remake this design, one of the best I've ever seen if you wait to fire the last engine until you're moveing below 500m/s, which should happen at about 500 Kilometers

I didn't set mine because I never cared about it.
Why bother.

Less posts per page means that it's more obvious that there's a new post in a thread.

How so?

It's easier to tell the difference between 1 and 2 than 84 and 85

Then again, there IS the "new" button :/

[BloodBeard]

Those who change the posts per page are in the minority, but it's just a matter of preference. I stick with the default and I find it more organized. I don't like using the new posts link and if I haven't read a topic for a while I find it easier to remember the last page I read then the last post number.

KSP really needs that update 

[Fikes]

Yeah, the thread has stagnated because there isn't that much more to do. I could try to land at KSC again, but that took almost 35 minutes. Better to just wait quietly for the update.

[Saint]

I've occupied my time with finding the least explosive and most stable way to get at least 5 stages into space, any number to get to 100k distance, then 2 stages for the trip out, one for thrust to get to speed and the other to maintain the speed.
The next two stages are the return trip, brake thrust and the speed/maintain speed stage, this one is dual purpose because of gravity. The final stages is the one you use to set up your landing trajectory for landing at KSP.
The more stages that survive re-entry the better.

[Stargrasper]

Accidentally deployed the parachute at about 500m up.  The nearest connecting part (a liquid fuel tank) blew up.  The rest of the rocket flew off to who knows where, but the command module parachuted down safely landing on the edge of the launch tower...then teetered off and blew up landing on the ground.  Poor Kerbals...

[BloodBeard]

It will be difficult but i'm almost hoping there will be no HUD's with orbit and trajectory information when the moon(s) are implimented. Eventually yes, but not at first just to see people try and fail miserably to get to them  . Not that I won't, but being familiar with orbiter will surely help. How to align your plane to that of the moon, finding the right amount of thrust in the correct orbital position so you end up where the moon will be (will be the most difficult part).

[TheBronzePickle]

The question is if the moons will orbit or if they'll be stationary. Hopefully, the former will be the case. Also, after a while, someone WILL be able to get to the moon with some kind of rocket (which will more than likely be made of custom parts designed to reach the thing through sheer force). Their problem will likely be surviving the impact.
