Challenge:

Achieve orbit with the simplest ship possible. Default parts only. Simplicity is defined by the sum of liquid fuel tanks+solid boosters.
I managed to do it with 5 liquid fuel tanks +3SRB's.

Simplicity number=8 . Beat that! (easily I bet)

I will soon edit this post with screenshots

I just did it in 0.8.0, default parts. Simplicity 5.  I don't think it can be done in less than that though.

And, although it wasn't the design I used to get to orbit with simplicity 5, solid and liquid rockets firing at the same time make an awesome sound.

The successful design:

On the laptop I used you could move your finger up and down the side of the touchpad and it acted as a scroll wheel.

yeah, mine does that too.  but the game does not recognize it as such, and it does not produce any elevation changes.  had the same problem with zooming in Spore.

Most laptops don't have a scroll wheel, its on the mouse. ;)
but have you tried Pg up/Pg down?

Yeeeeees.... I tried just about everything on my little keyboard with no success, does PgUp/Dn work for you?  I even tried it with the external numeric keypad that I keep around for the Dwarf Fortressing.

For anyone who can't find it again, Goon mods, with a couple updates.  This directory should be added to the OP, since it's actively changed.

What are you using for screenshots?
Make a /screenshots/ folder in the game directory, press F1.
Done.  Though if you're using a high resolution, I would recommend converting to JPEG first.

In unrelated news, 0.8.2 is already up.  Check the site.

Sadly, the site isn't loading for me. :P

I wonder how the designers feel about releasing things and having their sites crash in short order. :P

Edit: Ooop, now it loads... slowly.

Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Typo, but I haven't seen any patch downloads, only the full. So it's irrelevant whichever it is just click the damn button and quit whining  :P

I'm sure a chunk of people know this, but if  you stack solid fuel rockets on top of each other without couplers and activate them at the same time, you can get tons of cheep thrust. Like, launch GIANT liquid fuel rockets cheap.

I think basically all parts that actually work are at this point "overpowered".
I disagree. The vanilla parts are perfectly functional and can get you far into space or into a stable orbit with good design and piloting.
