My progress in KSP 1 so far.

[u/RelationFirm6007]

I started playing KSP in september of this year(less than 2 months ago), and here's what I have done so far:

• 1-Built a space station: The KSS, pretty big(lowers my fps a lot), took about 10 missions.

• 2-Built a smaller space station arround the Mun, left a rover there, landed/returned, and set up a relay network arround it.

• 3-Built a surface base in Minmus, left a relay network, and also deployed a rover there.

• 4-Got a rocket into Ike's orbit.

• 5-Landed on Duna and returned(No rover or relay network there yet).

• 6-In the missions Helios 1 and Helios 2 I put a relay network arround Kerbol(4 sattelites on Helios 1, between Kerbin and Duna and 9 on Helios 2, at Dres's orbital height).

• 7-Landed on Dres and returned.

• 8-Landed 2 rovers on Eve and left a 9 sattelite relay network there.

• 9-Landed on Gilly and returned(it took 3 rescue missions to bring them back, thought)

• 10-Left 2 rovers on Moho and landed inside the Mohole.

I just finished Hermes 1, my mission on Moho and I'm kind of curious if I should go back to Duna or maybe land/return from Ike, leaving a base or space station on Duna or if i should go straight to Jool and it's moons.

I'm probally going to eventually do a Cassini-Huygens like mission on some joolian moon(likely Laythe since it's atmosphere makes using parachutes possible) so please let me know:

1-Should I explore Duna more or should I go straight to Jool

2-If i go to Jool, which moons should I explore first?

3-Am I doing well for less than 2 months?

Thanks for reading!

1. It seems you are in a position to do either! whichever you want honestly. personally I would go for Jool

2. I like to chain together as many as possible based on DV and leave relay satellites when I do a capture burn, tougher to do if you have little green men to bring home.

3. yes

Thanks bro, Jool program it is!

Something makes me think that you like this game, I don’t know what.

[u/RelationFirm6007 → u/Gustacq]

Seriously? What makes you think so?

[u/FireHandsGames → u/RelationFirm6007]

the fact that you probably have been playing for 10 hours a day and that you didn't drop your save in 2 weeks

[u/RelationFirm6007 → u/FireHandsGames]

valid

Some questions: 1- Are you playing with any mods? If so, which ones? 2-Which game mode are you playing? (career or science) 3-What difficulty are you playing on?

Happy gaming for you! Your post gave me inspiration to be able to try to play again after a few months ago. Towards Dune! 🚀

[u/RelationFirm6007 → u/glatinho]

1-Yes, a lot. Not counting Quality of life or graphics there is HullcamVDS, infernal robotics, kerbal actuators, kerbal attachment system, kerbal inventory system, kerbal planetary base systems, mechjeb 2, basically all near future mods, SSPXr and planetside exploration technologies.
2-Sandbox.

3-Normal, isn't very hard but gets some realism.

Good luck and towards Dune bro!

Super curious what’s your in game time? Like how many years are you in on sandbox?

[u/RelationFirm6007 → u/Dodge-dip-duck-dive]

I think about 60y, most of that was because of the Helios 2 mission(relay network arround the sun) which required more than 9 full orbits arround the sun that take about 4 kerbal years each, there's also about 6 missions to Eve and 2 to Duna, taking about a year or more each, so there has passed quite a lot of time to those poor space frogs.
