![]() (from googling, these types of questions are usually accompanied by photos of rockets - I'm at work so don't have one, but picture something pretty simple - main rocket is a pod, then a bunch of fuel tanks underneath on top of a Swivel liquid engine, then ~4 of the BACC Thumper boosters attached to radial couplers - I don't have a ton of tech/better parts to use yet, and probably shouldn't need them to accomplish something this simple anyway?)Īlso keep in mind that the more fins/wings you have, the more the rocket will resist turning. But I just selected my first "rescue a Kerbin from orbit" mission, and to fine tune something like that I need to take off in a very specific direction and still have enough fuel (weight) in orbit to maneuver while I'm up there. With the Mun flybys it wasn't that big of a deal because who cares, you're going to the Mun, just blast off and go wherever and adjust orbit as necessary. The way this compounds is that because my rocket takes off straight up, I have to bring even more fuel for all the corrective burns I wind up having to make in orbit, which adds more weight and needs more launch thrust, which makes the problem worse. #3 in particular has made my rockets very hard to control while launching, to the point where either I can't steer them (they kinda just go straight up until the boosters are done no matter what I do with WASD) or they're incredibly unstable (the slightest twitch makes them veer uncontrollably off course and ruin the mission). To deal with the extra weight I need more boosters for takeoff In order to do more stuff in space beyond "just get to orbit" I need to bring more fuel with meģ. ![]() My first attempt on a smaller rocket barely succeeded with enough fuel for me to get back into the atmosphere afterwards, and as I've started making bigger rockets to go farther I've noticed a compounding problem:ġ. One difficulty I've been having is with flights where I just want to get into orbit around Kerbin (one of the earlier goals in career mode). Just did my first flyby of the Mun in career mode after doing all the tutorials. Started playing this after a recommendation and it's been a lot of fun.
