@Aviator01 used to be not so good at getting stuff into orbit, until i learned how to build my stuff right. As long as i don't do anything wrong, i have no issues getting stuff into orbit. I've got a network of commsats, a station, and some junk orbiting kerbin's moon.
not taking shots at you.....the space stuff IS pretty hard to get good at....which is why i didn't mess with it a whole lot. Much like with this game, it's all about the aircraft for me.
@Hashys after about 7 hours of messing around in the build mode, i was able to mostly re-create one of my KSP aircraft. i say mostly, because of the limited pre-fab parts. i can't replicate the cockpit i used for the original build. I plan to stick with this, because it's a very nice piece of software. I just hope the community grows, as well as the mod scene. this game DESERVES the same kind of large, talented mod scene that KSP has.
@Toinkove -nod- Yeah, i thought about downloading other ppl's stuff, but then figured "screw it", and jumped into the deep end. I'm currently working on replicating one of my simpler designs from KSP, using that as a base to learn how everything works. I'll say, it's a lot easier when you have pre-fab parts like in KSP... like, for instance, this aircraft calls for the use of a set of mod parts.. i don't have them, and don't know how to accurately replicate them. This is one of the reasons i asked if anyone makes mod parts packs for this game. i was hoping to find some parts similar to what i'd used in KSP, as it would make this a build a bit simpler to complete.
@BM94 Thanks. i actually joined the discord server earlier today. been playing around for about 5 hours, and i picked up enough of how everything works, to build what i was trying to. And it even flies, lol. i can only get better from here.
While being able to essentially build any part i need, it'd still be nice to have a wider selection of pre-fab parts.
@Toinkove Thanks for the reply, i was starting to feel like i'd sat down in a completely empty room.
I would describe my mastery of KSP's build system (at least when it comes to aircraft) as "professional". Perhaps i'm biased, but everyone i've ever shown my creations to, has been quite impressed.
Given that level of experience, i still didn't walk into the game thinking this would be a cakewalk. This isn't KSP...the build system in this game is WAY more robust, sophisticated, and flexible than what i had in KSP... in a lot of ways, it's much better, in some ways, it's worse. I can see similarities, but even simple tasks, such as mounting a jet engine within a fuselage, are a mystery to me. It's both familiar, and completely foreign. Not sure if i'm making much sense...i hope i am.
Perhaps i just need to spend more time with the game.. After all, i got so good with KSP, by way of trial, error, and a LOT of failure.

+2 1.2 years ago@Aviator01 I very much like them both. both games have things they do better than the other. coke, pepsi, Juno, KSP... i like 'em all just fine.
As far as tutorials go...i'm gonna hafta look some up, but i'm already becoming quite proficient with the creator.
+1 1.2 years ago@Hashys Well, thank you, that's very kind. i may hit you up sometime soon.

+1 1.2 years ago@Touhoufan I'd looked the rules over... i've not fallen afoul of them, have i?
Yes, i'd noticed that you can reshape parts, which is VERY cool.. still the lack of pre-fab parts is a touch disappointing.
Still a good game, though. really enjoying it.
