Okay put another few hours into Kerbal Space Program and still haven't been able to figure out all the complexity of it. Guess I'll try again next year.
@JessTheUnstill Aah, I see we share some traditions.
@JessTheUnstill It's one of my favorite games! What haven't you figured out?
@pl I've tried reading guides and such, but just trying to get high enough and enough thrust and stop spinning enough to get a stable orbit isn't great.
@pl once I managed to get about a 3/4 orbit, but then ran out of fuel before I could finish orbital insertion
@JessTheUnstill try downloading a good rocket from the Internet and practice launching with it to get a feel. And you can also compare your designs with it. I remember not having wings at the tail of the rocket caused many problems for me in the beginning. Hang in there, lots of fun to be had!
