I have to make sure I go into the game folder and manually remove everything and have steam re-install, otherwise some old files may hang around and cause things to be wonky. Also, if you are running out of RAM there are some texture reduction packs that work wonders (link), especially if you want to use multiple parts mods like KW & B9, which also have their own reduction packs. |

OK, the science lab module is the most worthless POS ever. +16% science when transmitting... who cares?

View Quote Being able to clean out the experiments and reuse them seems to be the biggest perk of the lab. ETA: I have been planning on using it like this: Collect science from Mun with reusable lander, go to Mun space station w/ lab, transfer experiments to small return capsule, send back to Kerbin, clean experiments and repeat in different biome, send another tanker/return capsule to station, ???, profit. |

I am using the Universe Replacer mod and I believe the texture pack for the background is Rareden's Skybox. For the planets and moons I used a few different texturepacks. It certain makes the game much better!

Finally got around to doing a manned science mission to Moho and back. Getting a tiny capsule there is not too hard, but getting a medium heavy lander with science gear there and back took a bit of work. Had to use an Eve gravity assist to get back, making the mission take almost 2 years, but everything worked out in the end!

I ended up having to go backwards to .21 to get everything working great again. Of course i accidently deleted my old saves
Not a big deal as i wanted to start over anyways, but i was liking career mode. I found an old version of .17 on my computer. Oh how far we've come! |

To Minmus and back.
The latest update drastically improved my frame rate and seems to have fixed the crashes associated with turning the video settings up too high. I am now playing in 1920x1200 with EVERYTHING turned all the way up AND using some high res texture packs with the universe replacer mod. The lab is worthless but it looks the part so I have it stuck on there along with 4 of everything sciency. I know I missed plenty of opportunities to use the moon and aero breaking to reduce my fuel consumption but I had sooo much available I didn't bother. Ill come back and imbed properly once I buy a membership. As promised. |

Anyone have a good alternative to Quantum Struts now that it's dead?

Stock hybrid rocket engine is a big plus. Now they just need to add stock heavy/tall landing gear.

I'm still crashing everything I build. I need to knuckle down and take it more seriously if I'm ever going to get to the Mun.

View Quote when I first started I didn't watch any videos or read anything, it took forever to get into orbit. I could get out of kerbin system or at least into space, but it took me a bit to learn how to get stable, consistent orbits. After that it got easier, but it still took me a lot of tries to reach mun, land and get back safely. I started watching videos after that and I probably should have done it sooner, they help cover the basics and you'll save a ton of fuel |

I've tried to watch a few of the videos but I didn't really pay attention. I learned everything I know from watching Day9 play it, he must have killed Jebediah Kerman a dozen times. |

The only thing I have yet to do it build a really good long distance ship. I have yet to reach moho or eeloo (spelling?) |

This game is EVIL. I can literally sit an play it for 10+ hours at a time and not even know it. Im currently trying to get a rescue mission out to a craft that I have stranded out between kerbin and eve after a failed return from duna. I think my guys may not make it.
