    THE CHANNEL:
    This channel is about Kerbal Space Program and can consist of SSTO building tutorials and rocket building tutorials. Some times the videos contain bad language and adult humor but on a low level. In these videos no planet is safe as we can explore space together by landing on places like Duna and Jool and build large Duna colonies or orbital space stations. Also, Interplanetary SSTO builds seem to be a hot topic in the KSP community so I will be touching on those as well. I also build SSRT space craft. These are fun to build and easy to fly! Warships or space warships are one of my favorite things to make. Stock weapons can be very challenging and so when building them over time , you get to see the evolution of the designs. Same thing with the Warships. They get better and better with each new design.
    Now , I know it's considered cheating but Kraken drives are a fun way to put things like warp drive ( like in Star Trek ) and or hyper drives ( like in Star Wars ) in your Kerbal space program game. These game mechanic loopholes are fun to figure out as you find out how they work and how to incorporate them into your star ship design.
    Everything from Outposts on far away moons and Mining Stations around asteroids and comets, you name it I've ether built it or it's on my to do list! I still haven't really explored things like building SpaceX starship or any of the NASA spacecraft, and I think that's because it been done to many times. Recreations of spacecraft can be found almost everywhere on CZcams now and so making yet another one seem redundant. Only if the spacecraft recreation is of one that I loved as a kid will I even attempt to build it. Like the Apollo Moon Lander, or the whole Apollo rocket! Now that rocket was cool!
    Many people have ask me if I'm ever going to wear my Mandalorian helmet ever again for my videos. And , yes. when the time is right, and I get a new wabcam, I will be dawning the helmet once more!
    Thank you everyone! ... This is the way.

    KSP is a game where even most basic things require some training and skill. The funny thing is: It's very awkward the first couple unsuccessful attempts and you don't know what you're supposed to do, but when it _does_ succeed, something in your brain just kinda clicks and you figure out how to do it efficient in no time. But you need to invest some time and have a bit of patience and resilience against frustration.
    But there are only few games that will give you as much satisfaction as KSP, when you pull something off.
    The first rendezvous, the first docking, the first Mun landing, the first interplanetary transfer, the first SSTO/Spaceplane . . . the list goes on.
    KSP is a very special game, it gives you barely any reason to, for instance, go to Jool and land on every moon, but when you do, it's just so rewarding to fulfill this goal you set yourself.

    A great tip is to try rendezvousing out at Minmus. It's where I practised. The lower gravity makes for more smaller and more responsive ships and lower velocities. Plus for new players, if you can fly out there you have enough of a grasp of orbital mechanics already to make rendezvous more intuitive

    • @StealthTheUnknown
      @StealthTheUnknown Před 8 měsíci

      But the trouble with that tip is it assumes a player already knows how to get to the moon. Just start from orbit.

    • @lewismassie
      @lewismassie Před 8 měsíci +5

      @@StealthTheUnknown That's what I mean by the last sentence. If you can get out there then you will definitely have enough of a grasp to figure it out yourself. It's how I got my practice in.
      Admittedly I wasn't following tutorials and learning in by trial and error, but I learned so much faster doing Minmus base logistics missions than LKO station assembly ones

      No kidding, even with like 800hours of KSP under my belt, I could never wrap my head around where to point my craft upon launch, when I try to rendezvous with something on an inclined orbit. I _always_ get it wrong, but the explanation in this video illustrates what to do really well.

    Love the target vessel at the end. I'm trying to recreate it with multiple variants (other engines, solar panel and radiator configurations, other fuel tanks or adding a docking port, a lab or even a lander variant). The vessel series is called VAOS (go figure), stands in French for Vaisseau Avancé d'Opérations Spatiales (Space Operations Advanced Vessel or SOAV in English).

    The one word coming to my mind is amazement. After this game, kerbal Space Programme has had a full lifecycle and a sequel realised that it is still worked on it is impressive how this game is still having tutorials being made to this day. From new players to old players we still get to enjoy the content of this game despite the huge learning curve and the need to learn so many in depth concepts. Going back to basics and seeing myself in the beginning researching and learning really brings me back. Keep up the great work, myself and the community are thankful for your content.

  • @TimbavatiLion
    @TimbavatiLion Před 7 měsíci

    Please don't do the stop-go-stop-go method of countering drift. It is highly inefficient.
    With some simple vector addition, we can figure out how to keep pointing our prograde towards the target without having to burn off our precious velocity everytime we want to adjust.
    I will use symbols O = prograde, Y = Target, X = Retrograde, V = vehicle forward
    There's 2 cases: You want to counter the prograde drift and a) you are impatient and want to go faster and reduce the amount of drift over time, or b) You are going too fast relative to your target and want to slow down a bit for safety reasons
    Case 1: Burn across from the target marker. Imagine it currently like this: O ...... Y
    To get O and Y back together, point your vehicle like this and burn: O ...... Y ...... V
    Burning on the other side of the target marker will bring your prograde directly back towards the target.
    Case 2: Burn away from the Target marker. So it currently looks like this: X ...... Y
    To counter the drift, double the distance between your retrograde and target marker and burn towards that: V ...... X ...... Y
    This will slow you down and counter the drift.
    Since we already know the direction of our drift at that point, and you are still quite some distance from your target, you can even purposefully overshoot your target marker a bit to account for further drift and reduce the amount of adjustment burns needed. For case 2 though obviously keep in mind not to slow to 0m/s while doing this, derp.
