I hope you enjoyed my first 1.1 video! After my old station was destroyed in Duna Attacks episode 3, I needed a new one! Plus, it's a good test of the performance boosts in 1.1. Download for the Space Shuttle is in the description, as well as the music I used. If you have any suggestions of what you would like to see in future videos, feel free to let me know below! For those who are waiting for "Duna Attacks", I am waiting for Camera Tools (and a couple of other mods) to update for 1.1 before continuing. Thanks for the patience!

+airforce9872 Debris orbiting the other way for one thing

[@scratchspider]

+airforce9872 Doesn't change the fact that it's up there and it's a real problem we have to account for. I think minimizing debris adds an interesting extra challenge.

[@airforce9872]

scratchspider yes, there is debris up there, but it will all eventually de-orbit and burn up. And the vast distances involved in space, even in near-Earth orbit, are almost unfathomable to our minds. It's essentially impossible to run into debris. To put in perspective, imagine a tennis ball is the Earth, now even with over a million pieces of debris in orbit, they are all the size of an atom. Our vehicles are molecule sized. The chances of a molecule running into another atom are near negligible.

[@IrritatedBear]

+airforce9872 yeah no shit, I'm doing a Physics/Chemistry degree at uni, I said it in more of how the period of the debris will eventually sync with the station and collide.

Hey Matt, I just saw you also have this stuttering issue (every ~5-20 seconds it pauses for a few miliseconds). This bug has been around for ages and is related to the Garbage Collection in Unity, though it could be avoided by creating less garbage (means data that is no longer used). Squad is aware of this but it feels like they are not aware of how many people are affected. So maybe if all the KSP KZbinrs would talk to them we could get rid of it soon. I think after the switch to unity 5 it's about time to get rid of some nasty stuff.

[@builder396]

+Wabadebadoo Olelikemjoel With a Spaceplane its actually relatively easy. Thanks to having wings you have a way of controlling your descent without using fuel, and that gives you a relatively big area where you can with a bit of know how practically choose where exactly you want to go. All you need is to deorbit very roughly at the right point and enter the atmosphere just as the manual describes it. Without wings its a great deal harder, but on the 2nd try i managed to land a base on Eve only 40km away from the next base i was aiming for. (Which was my first attempt of landing somewhere near the rover which, embarrassingly, was on the other side of the planet)

[@Gredran]

I JUST got into orbit myself :D It's challenging, but definitely learn about nodes and where to face and where and when to burn in that direction. Once you understand maneuvers, you can get into circular orbit just about every time :D Also you need enough fuel, turn on those center of mass, aerodynamics, and thrust, and make sure the center of mass and aerodynamics are inside of each other, otherwise your ship flips around(it may still flop around if you have an uneven top or bottom, but if its top-heavy, remove stuff from the top symmetrically, and if its bottom heavy, of course remove stuff from the bottom) Career mode is also great to build up and learn the game slowly. Starting with less parts meaning less confusion, so you can make smaller structures that are stable and fly properly. If you add too much too quickly, naturally things will fuck up :) This game is all about challenges you have to overcome, getting to orbit I can do more easily now, but landing in one piece is difficult for me without conserving some fuel, and if I add more fuel to that stage, it DOES make my rocket top heavy. I really hope this helps :D There's some awesome tutorials and videos out there for this game that really demystify A LOT of things. Also, I recommend at least getting the mod Kerbal Engineer, and just memorizing what some of the numbers mean and what your target goals for each of those numbers is. You don't totally need to be exact, and the mod does ALL of the math for you, but being more exact, which luckily the mod makes easier, obviously allows you to save fuel and be more efficient :D

I have the hardest time getting into a rendezvous orbit... I have tried and failed many times to do the rescue missions so I can prepare for this very thing.... I guess I will keep at it. Setting up the maneuver nodes is just a pain for me.

[@GamesRorsome]

Few tips: Be in a circular orbit below or above your target's orbit. The greater the difference in your orbits the faster you will "Phase" with the target Adjusting the Radial and Anti Radial can fine tune your close approach once you get one. While approaching closest approach (the last minute or so) burn to match orbits and keep your prograde vector on your target vector, once you get it you can literally stop within metres of the target without rcs. and btw, it took me about 50 hours to get my first docking, ksp has a steep learning curve so don't feel discouraged.

[@glock19gen3]

Xaovin Thank you. I will keep at it. I am going through and following along with Scott Manley and that helps, but with his experience he makes it look easy.

[@GamesRorsome]

No problem man, keep at it, it's so fulfilling when you get it.

***** Thanks, I will. I tried for hours today to get into a good rendezvous positions... No go. I am so frustrated. I got into a good plane orbit, but for the life of me could not get things lined up enough to get in close enough to dock. The closest I was able to get was 12km away but then I started drifting away due to different orbits. Im going to do that scenarios.

+camBC It's only worth the money if you have an SSTO, meaning your only cost is the fuel: with the cost of the fuel tank you discard, it's really not worth it using the shuttle. Edit: Well... It's *usually* not worth it. I didn't do the math for the specific vehicles so I can't say with 100% certainty.

[@cambc9730]

o0alessandro0o Ya for NASA I think it was more money to fly the shuttle that just a normal rocket

[@MattLowne]

+camBC This, and the growing concerns of safety and ageing technology/hardware. The columbia disaster was one of the biggest (if not the number 1 contributer) factors leading to the termination of the shuttle program. The shuttle was so expensive to fly because it wasn't used nearly as frequently as was originally intended.

[@cambc9730]

Matt Lowne Interesting. Thanks Matt!

[@o0alessandro0o]

Matt Lowne Chicken and egg, though: one of the reasons it wasn't used more often was that it was so expensive to fly. "Astronomical" is an adjective you hear often at NASA, I'd expect, but you'd rather it didn't apply to the costs involved in refurbishing your craft after each successful launch. Add the fact that it was as nimble as a flying brick and as tough as a sand castle, that it would cook the occupants if the cargo bay doors got stuck while in orbit, and a myriad of other fun factoids, and I think the only reason it didn't get retired earlier was that it was so damn cool - and that, half a decade *after* it was retired, we still don't have a real replacement.

I know with the current state of ksp 2 this is prolly an unachievable feat….. but dude…. You gotta do a remake of this in ksp 2 this is literally THE video that made me want to try ksp in the first place.

[@spatrk6634]

you could make a space station with space shuttle brining the parts in ksp 2 question is at which launch would the game crash and save file corrupt

[@masterkatyucha2817]

1:59, It is a runway landing but it messed up due to lack of fuel, that's called Runway emergerncy landing. Great job for not undershoot Matt!

It actually isn't that different, just modify the Payload settings to fit the stock Space station core and add engines, rinse and repeat until you've got it perfect.

this is just fuckin amazing, but is there a purpose of doing that? do you win something idk?

[@linerk5925]

+Spykyportable once it is built it can gain you lots of science if you are in campaign mode, but other than that its just nice to have one really, as its so cool to look at

[@MattLowne]

+Spykyportable Yeah stations serve no purpose in KSP. But they're cool to look at and fun to build! It's extremely satisfying to place the final module and seeing your creation completed!

[@nicolasthemercenary2784]

Looks cool, Flawless execution of docking, Only problem is you'd never use it in a real save. Only thing i think would be semi-viable is orbital refueling.

[@thechapmans8791]
