You should register on the forums and download the packs. They're amazing.

Quad boosters, nuclear engines etc.

LeJosh · 14 Jul 2011 at 02:56

You don't have to register but I did download some more packs too and they're so much better than stock parts.

I downloaded Sunday_punchs KPS pack.

You do for some.

That one you just said I got without registering, the other ones only appeared to download after I registered because they're attachments whereas that one was a web link.

I hate that. Making me sign up to forums just to download. *grumbles*

Too many sign ups everywhere.

Dave Mk2 is going well

Currently the pod is slowly decelerating from 5700m/s at 2000K distance

Tis a good ship.

Damn you OP!!!!!!!

The game is highly addictive

My rocket seems to spin in the air with liquid fuel engine. I can't seem to control it lol

I got that, but then i used a trick i learnt from studying early satellite launches - quite simply by putting it in a roll, of sending it spinning This takes any irregularities in direction or thrust and 'shares it out', so you keep going in the same direction. I demonstrated it with quite a simple design - Parachute - Capsule - SAS - Fuel Tank with a wing on either side - Liquid Engine. When you go to launch press space then immediately press and hold down E and Y, while throttling up the engine. I got to 15,000m with one tank and 50,000m with two using this method, maybe a bit more but i got bored

Passed 20,000K still going at 5,500m/s think its definitely not in orbit

Maybe I should have thought about getting them home as well .......

You even had the cheek to install a parachute

I see lots of people getting that thing saying SAS force, what is it?

All I get is fuel and sometimes overheat, that's it.

Jimmyboyo · 14 Jul 2011 at 15:36

The SAS is a module you can add that acts a bit like an autopilot, attempting to keep your rocket straight.

Great little game btw !

xxalxx · 14 Jul 2011 at 15:40

Put a few SAS modules at the top, and when you go to fly the thing, press T before you blast off

Jimmyboyo · 14 Jul 2011 at 15:42

Just got my first successful orbit, after sending my little guys on a 3 hr ride to the stars and back. I was a bit worried when the parachute was a little slow on opening after all that time !

Are there any plans to add a moon? I've got a bit bored now I can consistently get into space, need a new challenge, moon landing and return would be awesome!!

Marine Iguana · 14 Jul 2011 at 15:48

As far as I have read on the forum they are looking to expand it to a full game, Which I think would be awesome it will be the space geek minecraft

dekez · 14 Jul 2011 at 15:51

How good would that be with loads of space stations / moon bases on a OcUK server?!!

Neil79 · 14 Jul 2011 at 15:54

And while being online smashing rockets into each other

Craig1981 · 14 Jul 2011 at 15:56

If they add the moon, then the next logical step is to add Mars.

Could you design a rocket that can reach and land on the red planet?
