I know that feeling. Especially trying to rendezvous stuff in orbit the first time.Scott Manley's video of getting to orbit without any engines, using a bug in 1.9 and...

Has anyone played with the console version much? I want to get back into it but I don't know if the console version is worth playing... I'm not going to buy a new PC for it as I wouldn't use it for anything else, even though I'm sure it would be a lot easier to control!
I have it on Xbox, having had it when it first came out on PC.It’s actually really good. The enhanced edition works really well with the control pad (avoid the original version) and its fairly straightforward landing on Mun. It also looks great. If it wasn’t for COD Warzone I’d be on KSP.
Watching the KSP2 trailer gives me hope that in ten years we will have graphics like that in gameplay.

Good to know, thanks! I played it at the very first version on pc, when it was all a sandbox with nothing to "do", but my pc quickly ran out of puff with the following versions... Now I want to get back to it! It’s actually really good. The enhanced edition works really well with the control pad (avoid the original version) and its fairly straightforward landing on Mun.

The KSP forum is pretty good with a lot of tutorials and guides https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/
Loads of youtube videos about too, Scott Manley being the best known, but bear in mind a lot are for older versions so the mechanics will be the same but the details might vary a bit.
You mention scripts, are you looking at kOS?

Thanks for that... Loads of youtube videos about too, Scott Manley being the best known, but bear in mind a lot are for older versions so the mechanics will be the same but the details might vary a bit.

I don't even know what kOS is! lol!

Kerbal Operating System. It's a mod that lets you write scripts to control your ship. I absolutely love it but have taken a break from my current game as it's turning in to a software writing project, but on the plus side I can do stuff like this

My original goal when I first started fiddling with kOS was automated resupply missions that could land on a base like that, it evolved slightly to be a way of building modular bases.
I can land my single stage to orbit boosters on the runway but so far getting them down reliably on the launch pad has eluded me, I can get the bearing but not the range.
I ripped all my code apart to rewrite it as a menu structure where you put in a target and ask it works out the rest but it turned in to hard work

Out of interest, how much time are you putting into it?I can land my single stage to orbit boosters on the runway but so far getting them down reliably on the launch pad has eluded me, I can get the bearing but not the range.

Fortunately I bought the game from the KSP store not Steam so don't have a record
Quite a bit though. I was working away and weekly commuting for a couple of years so spending 4 nights a week on my own... Not played at all for a month or so now but will go back at some point. I've have been playing on and off for 5 or 6 years and spent way more time on it than any other game I've ever played.
It's a hard game to only play occasionally though as there's a lot to learn.

Seems there has been some skulduggery afoot with KSP2 development
