Have found docking really hard, I can get to within ~20m of the thing I'm trying to dock with by the last RCS adjustments take me forever.
So much fun though. Satellites - what's the point of them exactly, what can you get them do do for you?
Docking is hard! Das valdez recently did an excellent tutorial on it but the video on YouTube seems corrupted.
Satellites have little use in stock mode other than contracts and planet surveys. Mods like scansat and remote tech make them way more useful. Don't need to consider those mods yet. Some of the stock contract satellite deployment missions will really test you -can you put an object in THIS nasty orbit? (Watch out for retrograde orbits!) If possible ensure that the positioned satellite has fuel in it for repositioning. That way any future repositioning contract will be very lucrative.0 -

BIG news coming out from the studio, 8 developers left and the offical word from the studio is it was amicable however an anonymous yet 100% confirmed b reddity mods verified post popped up claiming all was not as it seemed at the developer and all the devs that left were booted and cant talk about what really happened due to nda's
https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/55zzmg/information_about_recent_events_at_squad/
Reddit mods are as untrustworthy as boards mods.
I take it with a pinch of salt. We likely will never know the full story of what happened. Furthermore, in all walks of employment there's disgruntled employees and companies that aggressively protect their own image. It's not that uncommon for software projects to have temporary contract developments who move on once the phase their working on is released. It's also not that uncommon for companies to treat their employees like crap. It's also not that uncommon for some employees to have unrealistic expectations of what work should be like and so on. Roverdude, one of the contractors, who's still working with Squad has posted several posts refuting some of the claims.As noted elsewhere, I cannot nor will not speak for anyone other than myself. I accepted the compensation that was negotiated. I informed the owners how much time I would commit to working on stuff for KSP for said compensation.
I was comfortable with both of these numbers, and agreed to them. And the hourly rate is more than a part time McDonalds worker :P I put a higher value on my time.
If anything, the owners have inquired about my welfare, inquired if I was happy, and what they could do to ensure said happiness continued, expressed concern about burn out and time with family, encouraged to take it easy and not work a ridiculous self-inflicted schedule, etc. And while that may go against the popular narrative, it's the truth, and my experience as a subcontractor with Squad.
I thought the analogy posted on reddit was brilliant and I'm going to steal it.
I don't like Orson Scott Card but Ender's Game was really enjoyable. Kerbal Space Program is one of my favourite games this past decade. Simply playing this fecking game has improved my ability to think about problems very differently among many many other things. Oh and there's Jeb.0 -

At approximately 05:12 UTC Mission Specialist of Snacks Aldie Kerman went on a routine EVA while conducting an atmospheric survey over the Tundra region. In the process of restoring the science jr module Aldie accidentally opened the cargo bay doors on his face and was whacked into the aircraft's tail fin before spiraling off into the sky. He is presumed disintegrated.
For the first time in a long while the Kerbal Space Program has lost a kerbal.
RIP Aldie Kerman. 0 -

Finding this game pretty dammed difficult. Been checking out videos bit still cant get into orbit around mum. Any tips or tricks??
Bigger is not always better. Aim to have the final stage of your craft as light as possible.
If you encounter the moon from ahead of its orbital trajectory the pull of the moon as it continues on its orbit will be help slow you down saving you precious fuel. Likewise, if you approach it from behind you'll to have spend even more fuel slowing you down because the moon is going to give you a gravitational slingshot.
If you'd like you could post the rocket design here and/or orbits and we'd try our best to help you crash it into the moon.
