ugh.. so this delta v thing... I know engineer and mods helped but.. anyone else having to spend more time thinking and designing stuff now they know the preformances?
<Althego>
that makes it less, easier to to design it for specs than to try and try again
<packbart>
I've used Kerbal Engineer for so long, I can't remember
<JVFoxy>
without.. long as I work through progression, didn't seem to have too much of a problem...
<packbart>
Althego: well, if you don't know the numbers, it's easier to choose. "this engine looks about right"
<JVFoxy>
now its like.. does this have enough DV to get to orbit, or.. do I add a stage. How much DV to get between orbits, out to the other planet or moon...
<JVFoxy>
usually I went by what feels right. granted, most of my designs are fairly basic..
<packbart>
if in doubt, add another Mammoth
<JVFoxy>
can't say I've really went /that/ big...
<packbart>
my first sandbox creations were like that. huge rockets to send a tiny probe core to every planet. I just wanted to look at the artwork ;)
<JVFoxy>
heh.. artwork huh?
<JVFoxy>
same lines as pixel art in minecraft?
<packbart>
well, I wanted to look at the planets and moons and not wait for efficient transfer windows and such
<packbart>
so I just bolted a few large engines and tanks together. because I wanted to go to Moho *now* :)
<JVFoxy>
oh of the planets themselves.
<JVFoxy>
thought meant ship creation as being the 'artwork' :P
<packbart>
well, that's some form of art, too :)
<JVFoxy>
I've been pondering some mods to help add clouds a few graphical changes. not so much on dramatic gameplay changes.. although KIS/KAS does have a rather huge appeal and connections to a few mods I wouldn't mind.
<JVFoxy>
guessing some day I should throw myself onto the forums... keep wanting to share what I do in the game, but not exactly thinking myself very good youtube material. :\

JVFoxy: You can use the solar system map.
<JVFoxy>
darsie sorry.. system map for which now?
<darsie>
I also cheat a dummy into orbit and plan manoeuvers. Also helps find where I should put my apoapsis when I have a rocket that doesn't easily make a low circular orbit.
