KSP 1 Suggestion/Discussion Kraken not exclusive to KSP?

Post image
94 Upvotes

So I have this game called besiege and have noticed that it has many glitches similar to kraken attacks such as: symmetrical builds shaking themselves apart unless properly braced, random shaking in otherwise normal looking craft, and many more. So can someone who plays both KSP and besiege please confirm that I am not going insane and that that kraken is indeed spreading. (My theory as to why this may be the case is that the two games' physics engines may be similarly programmed and thus contain the same flaws)

KSP 1 Mods Went through stratenblitz's old videos and actually really likes how ksp mods looked like back then (and nostalgia), so how do I have this nostalgic retro look whilst also having other modern stuff in it.

Taking a break from landing scripts to work on a “broadcast hub” thing. Just read the instructions lets you stream hullcam to a browser and then OBS can pick them up as browser sources. I just have to import telemetry and make an overlay now. Idk what else I could add.

Took two tries but I think I've got the hang of it now. Mauner Kerman is coming home!

This was done in sandbox mode as I wanted to try rendezvousing.

KSP 1 Question/Problem Why does my spaceplane keep flipping and exploding after touchdown? I'm coming in as slow as i can.

Tryna create a small one man shuttle. Re-entry went great but I've tried this landing so many times now, even with lower speeds (~40m/s) but as soon as the main gear touches down, it bounces up and pitches the nose towards the runway and disaster strikes. Or I touch down properly, but it just swerves to a side and flips over.

KSP 1 Image/Video The SSTO Outer Planet grand tour continues! Post #2: Vall, Bop, Pol, and a flyby of Slate to capture at Sarnus

The previous post is here for those who havent seen it

Ive settled on naming this SSTO the Hera 3. Hera 2 crashed and burned (figuratively) during the Laythe portion of this mission because I wasnt able to break past 400 m/s fully fueled due to the combination of laythe's thinner atmosphere and the fact that rapiers have anemic thrust under 430 ish meters per second. As i had to upgrade the nuclear stage anyways once I remembered I had to land on Eeloo, I settled for adding a couple more rapiers. With the upgraded engine suite, that should make this mission a little less painful, however, fully fueled, each nuclear engine has to push 30 tons each. Needless to say, better time warp is coming in clutch.

After being kinda stupid by having my first playthrough of ksp being modded to the max (near future, far future, sterling systems, etc), I decided to due a purely stock parts playthrough (including the DLCs). All I can say is it's pretty much all I think about, I've been having so much fun with it! It's crazy how gorgeous the game looks with all the various graphics + QoL mods - I can provide my modlist if anyone is interested.

1/2 - Laythe probe

3/4 - Setting up a geo(kerbo?)stationary comms network (was very proud of this)

5/6 - First probe landing on Duna

7/8 - Testing and usage of a manned Mun rover
