Tips and Tricks
Thought it might be useful to have a thread that people can add over time that shares methods on how to more easily accomplish things.
Surveyor Relay in polar orbit of Tylo
I made a standard design to send out everywhere but discovered that some planets and moons need a lot more electrical charge for surveys. Luckily I found out you can change the relay antenna to "Allow Partial".
Distant Clouds
This is the older version of the Sol-SPVE clouds, have yet to try out the new update of it
Non-Atmospheric Landers
3 passenger landers loaded with science gear capable of round trip de-orbit and back. Tylo requires a lot more fuel, so it needs to be a lot bigger. This one should work on every other planet or moon that doesn't have a atmosphere though.
Long Range Cargo Hauler
Refuel on minimus. Collect cargo in orbit. Then go anywhere in the system. Drop cargo, refeul, and head back to minimus to go again.
Haumea approach
Yes, my game takes 10 minutes to boot (60GB gamedata folder). Haumea is from the new RSS Origin 2 mod: https://github.com/CharonSSS/RSS-Origin-2/wiki
First successful Eve return mission
Used science quadcopter to gather over 75 experiments.
KSP beat its all time concurrent player record today!
2015 peak was the 1.0 release of the game. Also interesting how KSP2 bombed so hard it took KSP1 down with it
Still trying for an Eve SSTO but need some help
I'm having issues with the propellers. It works fine on Kerbin, but on Eve its impossible to control. Its like the CoL moves forward, and the plane wants to point retrograde once I get to a certain altitude. I can close the propeller service bays to regain control but lose control when I open them again. I guess I can try moving the propellers to the back of the plane, but would prefer them in the front to move the CoM forward since theres already a lot of weight with the engines on back. Anyone know whats happening?
