Return boost alternative
Hi, I don't know if this tutorial is finished, but isn't it better to burn prograde when you are between Mün an Kerbin like here? —XZise (talk) 11:01, 27 February 2013 (CST)
- Hello XZise. Thank you for your interest in my tutorials. That actually depends on if you ended up on a prograde or a retrograde orbit around the Mün. When you are retrograde, it's best to accelerate at the most distant point, while when you are prograde, the most energy-efficient point is the point where you are closest. I should mention that. --Crush (talk) 16:05, 27 February 2013 (CST)
I can't build this ship
Hey, I've really tried to build the ship you've described using all the parts but it just isn't possible going by the parts you've got listed used. In the screenshot, I can see you've got rockomax connectors on stage one (connected to stage 2 as well, it seems, although we aren't instructed to do this at all) where there aren't any listed in the instructions, among other things. If I use ONLY the parts you've listed, following your instruction, I get an incredibly unstable ship that can't make it into orbit without disaster. Is there any way you could improve the instructions for building this ship, and perhaps include the parts in the screenshot? and perhaps provide a higher res screenshot. The way it is now, I can't seem to even get the ship built yet, and I really want to try out this mission. Yazman (talk) 07:26, 2 April 2013 (CDT)
- Hello Yazman. Thank you very much for your feedback. Could you publish the .craft file so I can see what mistake exactly you made? That would help me much to spot where the instructions are unclear. --Crush (talk) 13:21, 2 April 2013 (CDT)
- Hello again, I fixed some mistakes in the description in the first stage. I hope that this was the reason you couldn't replicate it. Otherwise please post your .craft file. --Crush (talk) 13:30, 2 April 2013 (CDT)
- Hello Yazman. Your main mistake was that you used Hydraulic Detachment Manifolds to link the four outer rockets of the 2nd stage to the central rocket. They are supposed to be attached directly to the central rocket. --Crush (talk) 11:21, 6 April 2013 (CDT)
- Hey Crush, I too have been having some problems with this ship. I've built it and get it into circular orbit, but it seems I'm missing a decoupler somewhere during the docking stage. Mind giving it a look? http://www.mediafire.com/?xx7c8o9od6guj8a Dukat (talk) 22:55, 15 April 2013 (CDT)
