![]() ![]() Oh - I'm sorry for the rant, and for the lack of adherence to the topic. But you don't need it and you certainly shouldn't bypass the 'let's see what happens if I.' stage. I only wish I was smart enough to know all of that stuff. Do I have a problem with using that sort of knowledge? Heavens, no. It took me ages, but by trying something, seeing how it failed, and adjusting the design, it was done.ĭoes a knowledge of the proper methods and calculations involved in orbital movement make the game easier? I should imagine so. I had just thrown together a bunch of rocket parts, the design informed only by the failures of those that had gone before it. I didn't feel like that because I had utilized any math - I hadn't. But then what? Do it again? The first time I attained a stable orbit I felt a grand sense of achievement (funny how silly little games, the playing of which is pretty much the opposite of achieving anything, can do that). Then you could load up the game and do everything right first time. Sure, you could download KSP, install it and then spend a week or two watching tutorials on Hohmann transfers and Munar landing. Oh dear." It's hilarious malfunctions and thoroughly deserved fiery deaths. That's experimentation, trial and error, "I wonder if this will work with an SRB attached to-oh. In what I should point out is my very humble opinion, the fun to be had in KSP lies in all those 'hours doing everything wrong' that you mention. Now go away and study orbital calculations, and don't come back until you can calculate delta-v for a stage with your head in a bowl of soup." Have at it." It does not say "Here is a heap of rocket bits. But KSP is a game which, at present, says to the user: "Here is a heap of rocket bits. Knowing which button does what is, of course, highly recommended and not at all what I am disagreeing with. With all of the greatest respect, I disagree! this isn't a game where you can just learn how to play through experience, you need to know and utilize math and controls precisely. If you didn't know how to raise or lower landing gear, I suggest you check out the key bindings options under settings to get familiar with the controls, otherwise you won't get very far and will waste plenty of hours doing everything wrong. ![]()
