There seems to be issues with trying to conduct interplanetary travel... like coming out of time compression and your ship just breaking into pieces for no reason. Make sure you do a lot of quick-saving if you plan to do it.

Okay, so I was away from KSP for some time, and decided to make some small steps first to regain my bearings in the new version.

Made a spaceplane. (Well, more plane than space) Flew out with it. Decided to see if the pilot could hold onto the railing in flight. And, er...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The plane eventually ran out of fuel, and the deceleration dislodged the pilot before I could do anything, so he did fall in the end. But still. Hell of a ride.

muhahaha! by reducing the payload, the gargantua class heavy lifter managed to bring 3 people into space!

then I discover that the new capsule lacked fuel lines to the NERVA engines, so I had to use the lander to propel the ship to the satellite...

I even landed, but the thing is too tall, fell sideways ( after a somersault) and it got disassembled.
however, I discovered I was withing view of the mun arch! attempts to explore it were met with failure because it is FAR! attempts to use jetpacks were met with rock induced death :/

oh, well. time to send a rescue expedition!

do air intakes actually work to help your spaceplanes engines?

Is the site still messed up, or is it my end?

Well I managed to get through in the end.
(After failing at least a dozen times.)


edit: And the file didn't download properly... -_-

Yeah, that's the problem I've been having all day.

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

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

Why not? He clearly owns the game, but was unable to update because the official patcher didn't work. The forum rules say you cannot post copyrighted material, or links to said material... not that you can't mention that you went to a file sharing website to get an update for a game you own.

So the file won't be downloaded today it seems..
Always halfway (or a quarterway) before it gets cut off.

Lame, this was going to keep me occupied until TL2 unlocks, now I need something to keep me occupied until this is fixed

[Rose]

Hey, it's only another hour.

I've been playing black mesa till then.

[PTTG??]

I'm looking forward to a ship made up entirely of nuke rockets.

[JacenHanLovesLegos]

I'm finally downloading now. Interplanetary exploration go!

I've been having problems with my ships just ripping themselves apart,
and i get really bad lag. It seems they turned up the harshness of the physics.
Also I noticed the hydraulic decoupler seems to bug out sometimes, so i've stopped using them.

Maybe i'm just building way too big... i am using about 600 parts.

And it may just be pride, but I am trying to explore other planets with a 3 size capsule, might be a bit ambitious.

What kind of thrust do you need to get back from the other planets? I've brought 7 big engines and 14 big fuel tanks... too much?

[PTTG??]

The Space Kracken was eaten by Space Cthulhu, who disintigrates ships whenever they deaccellerate from 100,000x real time too fast.

As for the ship designs, I don't know the lift requirements needed for most of the planets, but try starting with a one-way trip. Kerbin is really crowded, so the astronauts actually appreciate being stranded.
