From what I've heard, the sun is just a light box. As for the moon, I have not even seen a moon...O_o

Also, why does it show 0m in that picture?

^
why is the sky blue on the moon ????

[delfin]

So the sun is just for show and there is no moon?

No, you can go to both. It just takes a bit.

Moon:

For some reason it has an atmosphere.

and still going

It is still very early in development. It's cool that they release it with so little content, some devs would just wait until the game is mostly done to release.

Would be nice to get some moons or planets to fly to. Orbit gets boring pretty quick.

Apparently there adding a TON of stuff...

Try to beat my speed record, 705000000 m/s :) (2 1/3 light speed)

First and foremost, use that chart I linked to. At the apogee (highest point) of your orbit, you want to be achieving the velocity for the respective altitude, which is found on that chart. Aggressive counter measures in any way can easily have you heading out of control and out of fuel extremely quick, so be precise and plan ahead. Pick an altitude ahead of time and try to achieve it for a challenge, simply going up and orbiting at the altitude you happen to stop at is easy.




example

[mrsleeve]

get to a 15-20k meters. turn off the SAS, pitch over to about 45-55* counter thrust to stop the pitching, turn SAS back on. Keep the throttles fire walled till you are pushing 2600m/s. Cut throttles to nada. congrats you are in orbit.

Save a little fuel, or the small liquid tank and engine, to slow down, (retro burn) to fall back outta orbit. If you dont they will be up there along ass time.

Write up on how to orbit?

[mightywhitey]

Thank you sir, that add on just made a game I couldnt put down to the heroin of my life.

[mrsleeve]

right mouse click hold and drag around. Use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out

[mightywhitey]

15780.2 m/s 20000K not M K! from earth. Were the fuck am I going? LOL I have some questions for you pros, how do I manipulate teh camera to see where Im headed or head for the sun/moon? I k now you can press C then the - will zoom out but how do you pan or zoom back in?

EDIT:We need to do a "how-many-rocket-boosters-can-you-attach-to-this-thing" competition

FIXED

And be able to lift off??
