Kerbal Space Program (Steam game)
 

I just picked up KSP on Steam the other day, and it is quite awesome. I figured with the nerd density of this forum, it would be appreciated here.

Its basically a simulator game in which you construct rockets in order to explore space, as in, launching satellites, probes, landing on planets/moons, building space stations in orbit, etc.


So far Ive killed quite a few kerbals, had several spectacular crashes, managed to get some satellites in orbit, and sent one lonely kerbal into orbit around the sun at low velocity with no food.

23 bucks. Uck.

I played this on a friends steam. It is pretty awesome. But typical me, i'll be waiting for it to go on sale 50% off or more. lol

I actually managed to land on the moon... Well, by land i mean hit the surface and destroy my pod. But the guy lived and was walking on the surface.

I played the free beta demo version a few years ago, was awesome then so can imagine its a lot better now.

Doubtful my PC will cope with it anymore tho :(

I'd love to play it but 23 bucks is a bit much imo.

*mun

This was about all I had the patience to accomplish on the trial version.

I managed to get a satellite to leave the solar system like Voyager. I know the mechanics of moving orbits and slingshotting, I just don't feel like doing the math.

Though I hear there is a flight computer mod, I haven't tried it yet.

Really really fun game though. I love trying to build monstrous rockets and having them fail to get off the pad.

lol thats how nasa must feel. ^

I got it on sale the other day, I cant remember how much I paid, maybe like $15.

If anyone sees it on sale pls mention it here.

Put it on your wishlist on steam. You will get an email when it goes on sale.

That's usually what i do.

Oh gotcha, thanks.

So, this is Hedgehog Launch 2?

^LMAO thats fucking amazing

So the other day I landed on the mun. I didnt do it in the tutorial mode because Im stubborn and wanted to figure it out myself in sandbox mode, so in other words I did it very inefficiently.

Now I have the technique down and Ive made a few attempts at landing on other planets, but I keep running out of fuel. Gotta work on my rocket design.

Less engines is key. Obviously multiple engines only increases thrust, not efficiency.

*using multiple engines / fuel in multiple stages is also key i should add.

Your flag is backwards.

This bitch is on sale for the next 20 hrs. 40% off so $13.79.

Also could an admin move this thread to the gaming section where it belongs?

I went to the south pole
