need to get a big one for mars, when they add that.

I cant wait for that, like you say its going to need to be rather large and landing then taking off on a planet with atmosphere may cause issues.

I think we should have on orbit docking (and facilities to make rendezvous easier) before we get the other planets. And non-manned missions.
 
Yeah, i'm just thinking that the ability to make a ship on orbit would be a whole lot easier and more efficient than one massive rocket to get all the way there. I have trouble with more than three engines and not collapsing on itself :p

You should see my Mars ranger 6, 32 engines in total. Just issues decoupling first stage, pretty sure due to lag. I'll keep the design saved and see what it's like on later releases.

I how how big a rocket you'd need to get to Alpha Centauri :D

Too big for chemical unles we have a million times speed button or bigger.

Even the VASMIR engine that has passed all the ground tests so far and is going to be tested on the ISS in 2014 would take 2600years, however mars in 39days. Compared with over 6months with chemical rockets.

I hope we get ion/VASMIR/PPS/NSTAR/ION/ and of course nuclear push and antimatter push plate at some point.


Hmmm - slightly off topic.

It's in...
Hi,

Well, we're still alive, unless I am greatly mistaken and in which case everyone should be seriously freaked out, but I think we are indeed still alive.

Yesterday I was down at the office, having our end-of-update/start-of-new-one meeting. We do have a plan already for the features we want to add on 0.15, and we will publish it soon. Docking is in, BTW.

For now though, we want to use this week to solve the issues from 0.14, and finish up the things we didn't have time for during the rush. The pressure is greatly relieved, but there's still a ton of work to do.

I'll post more news soon.

Cheers

Can't wait to see the full list.

Can't wait for it to be released.
 
personally I'd like a few more custom parts now, some of the user created ones are good but unpolished, and dont work properly on 0.14. And maybe some sort of an orbit planner
 
This is something that has mystified me about the game: is it possible to use it to thrust in a particular direction? I've only figured out how to change orientation but I've heard a lot of people talk about it like you can use it as a proper directional thruster.
 
R, the green RCS light should appear at the top left of your navball, and control them with the normal direction controls.
