Alright, I think I might've messed something up installing/deleting all those mods...textures missing, kerbal portraits flashing, corrupted text...I think a clean install is in order.

You summoned the Space Kraken. I hope you're proud of yourself.

EDIT: And from the Reddit post of that image (do your research guys jeez)

This camera mod is what I used, I'm controlling everything from that point of view.

So I finally manage to turn my rover into an SSTO. I feel like I've accomplished something.

I am having *the* worst luck making planes I wanted a VTOL like thing to drop a mining rover on top of some kethane in Kerbin itself, but so far no luck. Was also thinking of a non-recoverable rocketplane to get there.

None of these work. The VTOLs are really hard to control, and the Kethane is really far, so I'd need quite a bit of range. I am considering going into space and dropping the rover from there, but that's a whole lotta work.

Any tips/good tutorials on space planes or suggestions?

VTOLs are, as you said, very hard to control, because there is no thrust vectoring on the little orange engines, and the center of mass changes when you empty out your fuel tanks, so balancing them is very hard.

I am currently trying to imagine a way to mix XCOM:EU multiplayer and KSP save sharing to make a 2+ player campaign. It's not easy... Basic rules as it stands are:
1-put beacons all over kerbin to symbolize major cities.
2-alien player launch his UFOs in space using infinite fuel/gravity hack. Around the Mün or further.
3-land near "cities". The journey toward kerbin does not allow infinite fuel or gravity hack.
4- the human player has a limited in-game time to send the Skyranger.
5- XCOM:EU versus battle. Each kerbal represent a particular soldier for the human player, and a given amount of points for the alien.

So I wanted to try bringing a payload to orbit with an SSTO.

I accidentally used the fuel stored in said payload.

Spoiler:  This happened. (click to show/hide)

That ship is too awesome.

Man...that makes we want to play KSP again.

[Anvilfolk]

That patch really should come out!

Also, what are the current opinions on asparagus design? They're a pain to do, and I've heard they aren't actually that much better, but didn't follow the discussion through.

[Dutchling]

They're way better than normal designs o.O

[Rose]

Guys, guys!

Updoot!
