Kerbal Space Program

[Phosphorus15]

I've recently been introduced to an indie game by the name Kerbal Space Program. Basically, it's a game where you build space ships and fly them. It's only in early alpha, and it's being updated. I recommend you check it out, it's tons of fun launching these things.

I am addicted, and have just bought it after 3 or four hours that i should have been sleeping's worth of building poorly planned rockets. rest assured, this is as close to rocket science as i ever intend to get.

GOOOD STUFF, says the gnome.

though i doubt it'll be everyone's cup of tea, if you like tinkering with things in LBP this is a must try.

Have any of your rockets managed to scare Jebediah?

[Memodrix]

Including the ones he survived? Now that i think of it, is jebediah the one thats always happy? I think i scared him once. there were a LOT of solid fuel boosters involved.

This is awesome, is there any way to get it full screen?

Asteroids and weather sound cool http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/~kerba...anned_features

It's under video settings, or you could change FULLSCREEN in the config file to True.

Great game Brings me back to the days of Spore some how. It gets old quick though, not very much variety to speak because the moment you start getting "creative" is the moment your rocket collapses before getting an inch off the ground. I have yet to successfully get in to orbit, some close calls though !

You mean get into space or actually orbiting around Kerbin/the sun?
To get into space you need fuel tanks and liquid fuel rockets.(Solid fuel rockets can help get you out of atmosphere) To get into orbit you have to zoom out with the map and find the circle that goes around them then start following it and turn off your engines, it should pull you into orbit.

Considering buying this since its only $15.. and only in alpha.

Yes, getting in in to an orbital. Maneuvering a rocket is tricky.

Yea :/
I use advanced SAS going up, turn it off then spin around and turn it back on when I point in the right direction. lol

[Memodrix]

its one of those trial and error things. and make no mistake, unless you used to build rockets and/or do logistics for NASA, you WILL make A LOT of mistakes.
