trying my first rendez-vous. using the planner, I think I can get closer than a kilometer to target. which is still way too far, however. I'll see when I get there, I guess. any tips?

edit: it was too dark to see the station. despite it having light.
oh, well. the bad part is that I don't have much fuel left, and neither I have parachutes. poor kerbonauts!

You might want to try the Romfarer lazor system. It has nightvision.

[forsaken1111]

Patiently waiting for mods to update. I wants my mechjeb or some other autopilot.

[andrea]

well, 0.18 makes aiming for other stuff MUCH easier. but mechjeb would make it far less time consuming, I agree.

also, it is not the night vision i miss most. for some reason, the circles that should be around other nearby objects don't appear anymore.
edit: which I fixed, luckily.
with a bit of luck, I'll post screenshots of a space station soon! ( or a big crash, whichever happens)

[andrea]

so, it crashes just with that probe? very odd.

in other news... I am close! but lining up without an ASAS is HARD! really people, an asas is worth its weight.

I think I may be retarded. I've sent a "permanent" lunar module base thingie to the mun, sent probes and manned ships to almost all bodies but yet I can't even rendevouz two ships and sucessfully dock them.

[Putnam]

Neither can I, haha.

[andrea]

well, it too me the better part of an afternoon to get the ships that close.

( and I am still unable to send stuff farther than minmus. can't bring enough Delta-v to orbit.

[Aseaheru]

i still have yet to orbit in the demo. i wish i had money for this...

My first rocket (Yes my first rocket,the very first one) that managed to get out of the atmos actually was an OP'd son of a bitch, slingshoted in the mun gravitational field and went into a orbit about the same size as the Jool one.

Edit:forgot my pro tip
PROTIP: Use the mun gravitational field to get past minmus without wasting lots of fuel.

[Aseaheru]

i have managed to orbit the sun and even to exit system, but never to orbit kerbel...

[andrea]

I managed to get 2 crafts to almost touch, dock port to dock port, but not straight enough to dock...

[LordSlowpoke]

Apparently, improved physics means the Mainsails are absurdly wobbly. The only reason Communications Relay Epsilon is going into any sort of orbit is because I stuck 20 RCS thrusters on the thing. Bluh.

[andrea]

also, I am now semi confident that the cross shaped thing doesn't actually have clamps included.

[Guardian G.I.]

GAAAAAH! Getting things close enough to dock is almost impossible.

I'm waiting for MechJeb to be updated...
