"Have Timbits, Will Fly"
So I've been kinda hooked on Kerbal Space Program as of late and I've started to really get the hang of the game and its nuances. I'm not going to lie, this is a deep game that is extremely fun and frustrating at the same time.
The good kind of Frustrating, not the "Slam ALT+F4" kind.
So I'm almost ready to start up a Career Mode named "Kanadian Space Command" and hopefully reach the point where I can build things like this:
The above are crafts pre-built and tested by a user named Raptor9, you can find his stuff here: https://kerbalx.com/Raptor9
And here's a music video of the stuff he's built:
(Bit of a warning though, he used a really low-bitrate audio file for the music, so if you have headphones, turn the volume down to avoid ear-rape)
Have you played Kerbal Space Program? Got anything to share?
I will be streaming some of it on Twitch/Youtube/Mixer as well, I'll post videos here when I do.

Pretty cool stuff! I played KSP for a while as well, though my crowning achievement was merely stranding a Kerbal on the Mun without enough fuel to get home...

Found this mod while killing time at work.
Cannot wait to try it out.
I will have to wait till it gets updated to 1.5 (which dropped today)

I really need to give KSP a shot, it was recommended to me absolutely ages ago...
Any tips for new starters?

Play the Tutorial, Trial and Error and a lot of Youtube Videos.
Also, remember that Quick Save is your Friend.
Beat that F5 key like it owes you money; because Spontaneous Unscheduled Vehicle Disassembly is a thing.
I personally recommend this playlist by Youtuber Scott Manley: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...83UT-Lq5ZIKI75
Yeah, they're a little on the long side (~20min), but this is a very deep and involved game and he goes over everything. They're also good for killing time if you're stuck at work or what not. It'll give you a firm grasp of the basics.
There are a few mods I would recommend as an ABSOLUTE MUST have Quality of Life mods.
- KSP CKAN - https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN/wiki/User-guide - This is your mod organizer, you use this to install mods.
- Kerbal Engineer Redux - https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com...30-2017-05-28/ - This mod gives you valuable information on your vessels, like Thrust to Weight Ratios, Delta V per Stage, and it gives you a configurable HUD while flying.
- Better Burn Time - https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com...et-rendezvous/ - This mod changes the Burn Time UI of your manuvers and gives you a visual queue for when you should start your burns, as the default UI doesn't do that at all (Rule of thumb though is the start time of your burn is half of the total burn time)
There are a lot more mods that do help with the functionality of the game, but those are the core ones I think that everyone should have, I'd give my mod loadout, but with the recent 1.5 update, a lot of those mods are broken at the moment.

"Have Timbits, Will Fly"
Ribbons represent my progress.
Top: Kerbin, with Orbit (Geosynchronous, Equatorial and Polar), Orbital Rendezvous and Docking, Established a Space Station and performed an Atmospheric Fixed Wing Flight, and Returned my Kerbal to Kerbin.
Middle: Mun, with Orbit Orbit (Geosynchronous, Equatorial and Polar), Orbital Rendezvous and Docking, Landed a Kerbal on the Surface and returned them to Kerbin.
Bottom: Minmus: with Orbit Orbit (Geosynchronous, Equatorial and Polar), Orbital Rendezvous and Docking, Landed a Kerbal on the Surface and returned them to Kerbin.
Right: Grand Tour progress: Been to Kerbin, Mun and Minmus, Completed ~16 successful Orbits, 2 Landings, and constructed a Multi-part Spacecraft
Small update on my progress:
(Yes, I made the Kerbals ponies. See my avatar for my response )
