I'm considering giving up and trying again this time tommorow. Game isn't going to be any less awesome in a days time, except for people posting about their trips to other planets.

[LoSboccacc]

I can't avoid spoilers, so I carve to be the 'first' on the different planets and moons

1. Yay! Dowload successful!
2. Hey! What happened to Bill, Bob and Jeb? Who are these newfag clowns in my first rocket?

They disappeared like a gazillion updates ago >.>

[Ultimuh]

But they are still our beloved KSP mascots.
Concider them retired, or training the new recruits.

[Rose]

You do actually occasionally see them on your flights, and they're shown with differently colored suits. I don't know if they come back when they die, though.

Weird, I played a lot of .16 and they were always the three first Kerbals on a fresh persistence file.

[andrea]

they ARE te first three kerbals. you must have killed them without noticing.
edit: by the way, I am having great troubles achieving orbit. maybe I am overengineering it....

[Sordid]

Speaking of overengineering, my rocket had wobble issues.

if it solves wobble issues, I may copy it...

I went over my friendly piratey bay and got my update since the patcher didnt work.

Too much engine to fuel tank ratio, consider merging some of those stages under a single set of engines (eg, make stage 1 and 2 just stage 1 by deleting the engines)

[andrea]

I tried adding more tanks to stage 1, it goes higher.

and also explodes, but I am working on it.
sadly, during last flight a solid booster wasn't staged correctly and it activated only after decoupling destrying my last stage engine.
but I believe it can now reach orbit. if it doesn't, I'll need a way to add more engines, because what I have now barely lifts the rocket. I already have a couple of ideas..

That's... perhaps not the kind of thing you should be broadcasting

Still waiting for the site to stabilise, but I've got lots of stuff to play with on my day off today until then. I just discovered Darwinbots, I'm doing well with my programming and if it's really bad, Torchlight II unlocks at 6pm UTC xD

[andrea]

height is ok, but I still lack enough power to make an orbit. although I am close.

what should I do? add more boosters, or redesign the payload so that it is more compact?
