Version 0.8.4 is out but it seems really laggy. I'll put the mediafire link below for anyone who can't get on.

Just a heads up, don't put your computer to sleep while this is running. That or don't leave it running for 7 hours unattended. I'll have to let it run overnight to achieve my goal. Here is my last screenshot before I left.

So long boys.

Lol nice.

For anyone having trouble getting into orbit, there's a great tutorial on Youtube. He takes it from ship design to orbit while explaining what he's doing with each step.

How'd he do that 6 at once srb thing?

That is the symmetry thing.

Yeah, but what's the command?

click the circle thing at the top.

Yep, it has symmetry in 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8. Click through until it shows the number of slices you want. Tiny dot means no symmetry.

Been playing around with this and found one annoying thing, in that deployed parachutes on other capsules will not fully open unless they are attached to the main capsule when it hits 500m.

I got to 7km/s . What is more, I was burning full throttle all the way to 2600K. Took me only 7.5 minutes to get there! Talk about Interplanetary Express!

I think the KSP forums are down.

EDIT: Just checked the whole site is down. The devs said it was going to be down for a few hours to switch servers though.

I managed my best orbit yet. Took me 5 minutes to get into orbit, and my orbit is 37km-60km. I've had 5/4 a tank of fuel left to deorbit with or maybe try an engine landing.
Landed on the launch pad with most of my rocket intact, mission is a great success.

Finally got a stable orbit! Apogee is at 69,792M with a speed of 2274.5, Perigee 51,559M with a speed of 2344 m/s. Left it for 17 hours, it was stable except the Apogee shifted up. Ground distance at 146381000

... 17 HOURS?

You should probably post that on the KSP forums. they'll go crazy.

I wonder how long it will be before we get a moon or something to crash into fly to. And then we'll have people trying to figure out how to make a ship that can land safely on the moon, take off, and make it back to Kearth. And/or figuring out the lagrange points and trying to somehow fly into one of those with our current  very lacking HUD.

It wasn't the best orbit. It actually got increasingly eccentric as time went on, I suspect it might have dipped into the atmosphere if left for another day.
