Tips for docking in Kerbal Space Program

Date: Saturday 13 April 2013 | Author: blaknite | Likes: 1

If you're anything like I used to be you've probably mastered the art of reaching orbit and visiting moons long ago but the thought of attempting to dock was enough to send you insane. Whenever I used to try it I'd end up overshooting, colliding or de-orbiting - anything but the desired result really. I soon discovered that my never ending failures came down to two simple mistakes, ship design and lack of patience.

The time has come for a new community build on our Minecraft Server. This new town, coined Havenmead, will be the crown jewel of LANBoxia and serve as the central hub for us to group together and build even bigger and grander things.

For our first KSP challenge we're going to start at the beginning with an orbit challenge. The aim of this challenge is to get a small cubesat into Low Kerbin Orbit as close to perfect as possible. You'll have to meet certain levels of tolerance in regards to altitude, variance between your apoapsis and periapsis and total fuel used. Check out the guidelines after the jump.

Two fool-proof ways to get into Kerbin orbit

Date: Thursday 21 March 2013 | Author: blaknite

Getting into orbit might seem like a daunting task at first but once you understand the method behind a good ascent it becomes considerably easier. The two methods of orbital insertion we'll cover are direct ascent and two-burn injection. Once you're done here you'll realise that getting into orbit really isn't black magic after all. Step-by-step instructions and diagrams for both methods follow after the break.

In my opinion, this would be much better than ftb (although ideally, we want both) as it will encourage some late game wars between our factions :D Plus, it would encourage people to log on and further expand their empire :P

Thinking seeing as GTA V will be 5x the size of RDR, first thing I will do is Forrest Gump it and run cross country XD. Will possibly stream it on Twitch.Tv at best quality i can, taking questions and suggestions on Teamspeak. If not just record and upload in episodes.

Just got a new headset, SoundBlaster Tactic3D Sigma. For $75 it's pretty good. Maybe I won't beep any more either.

It's now my turn to enlist the aid of TLB! I'm after a wireless headset for us on TV and in turn PS3/Xbox. Going to be for late night gaming/movies. Looking around the $200 mark, something with a bit of build quality and good audio. Any suggestions?
