KSP: Building a Space Station! 

ksp content is pretty dry now

@@gerryst5973 correction, non-RO content is pretty dry now. I've been enjoying n9, beardy, and carnasa a lot lately

Yea same realism overhauls real nice

Epic

Mr. Blue that’s essentialy how people who don’t know how to dock do it

Same

Same here

Docking is so stress full thing it takes about 3to4hrs

Same

Hazoish ? I forgot my rcs once it's still in orbit

i did once and all i had was 3 pieces of junk orbiting Kerbin

unless it is a single launch station

So that's why my station felt a little too light...

Hazoish ? I’m playing on console and my RB button is not working right, so I just use rocket engines instead

+Gillian Orley Thanks :)

Gillian Orley frd

Yes.

@@MattLowne hey Matt, it's been six years after you responded to Gillian Orley

@@bettergs2790 Hey its neary the realise of ksp when i responded to you

That's the only way to do it for me :P

+Valid-Watch Docking is just .... too hard to exist ... :p

+Κώστας Καραπαπαχατζηδιμιτρακόπουλος It's been a while since I played KSP, but I remember accidentally crashing into my space station and deorbiting it on realistic mode. No saves, and lots of time flushed.

Κώστας Καραπαπαχατζηδιμιτρακόπουλος yeah.

Yes , subscribe to him XD

Matt Lowne Discovered your channel (and many others) through the Collaboration Station and now I have whole new backlog of videos to binge! Thanks for all the great videos!

Awesome video, do you have any tutorial videos on how to use your shuttle? Also, do you have your shuttle up for grabs?

Matt Lowne You always inspire me to do amazing things. Never let anyone put you down. You are an amazing youtuber and deserve a Golden Play Button. (Also if you replied it would make my Week!)

I absolutely LOVED this video because you had a mission to accomplish, you did lots of scenes that were clear cut but cinematic and were able really capture that genuine adventure feel while all the sequences were strategically planned. Keep up the good work! You got my Sub!

Matt Lowne at the end the sattalite shouldve been disabled and crashed knto earth

wholesome to see matt getting exited for a space statiob

Lol

He talks now in 2021 but not in this video

+Matt Lowne damn man the one time I'm recording myself trying to make a space station I see you do it

OMG i just had a mindblowing brain-orgasm even tough i've built like twenty stations, but never with such epicness great job once again Matt!

***** KSP has been outa beta for quite awhile now, it's released

+Matt Lowne Very great music. Impressive content mate

+dkong5 Dude did you even read the comment you just replied to? ;)

Doo Doo im trying to do that as well, but I am really bad at docking. I sent the core, then sent an expansion but after dozens of tries I could finally manage to do it. Any advices?

+Nathan Ong Fits well though. Intense music for intense space operations involving expendable kerbals.

At least it's good choice of music

of course it is... its TSFH

i feel you... 😭

Maybe watch my videos of KSP, it'll help you? I could do a tutorial :)

+dideej848 Go watch Scott Manley's video's you learn a lot from them. More so than others video's... But that just might be me.

+HanZie82 I learned a lot from watching Scott Manley's videos, but there's a lot of other people that have nice videos, just that Scott tends to explain and narrate a lot more.I'm sure the majority of KSP players have seen his videos :P He also has a whole series of them personal favourite: Inter Stellar Quest!

dude same...

Music is Two Steps from Hell - Amaria

TheLegend28 same

And Two steps from hell - Flight of the silverbird

LUBBA LUBBA DUB DUB

same

It's okay. It took me forever to get into orbit and I was so proud when I did. 40 hours in, and I just barely landed on Mun. Watch Scott Manley's vids. He helped me A LOT!

I landed in mun by accident. lol

I crashed landed on mun and it felt so good even though my engine and landing gear exploded.

RoVidz Animations 'in' the moon ?!?!?! DAMN

Octavio Lopez xD Now you need a rescue mission (or just leave them)

+Manofiron norifonoM Gravity was such an abominable representation of orbital mechanics. It literally hurt to watch that as I'm sure anyone who plays KSP understands. Go watch CinemaSin's video on Gravity featuring Neil DeGrasse Tyson on all the things it got wrong about science.

+airforce9872 Debris orbiting the other way for one thing

+airforce9872 Doesn't change the fact that it's up there and it's a real problem we have to account for. I think minimizing debris adds an interesting extra challenge.

scratchspider yes, there is debris up there, but it will all eventually de-orbit and burn up. And the vast distances involved in space, even in near-Earth orbit, are almost unfathomable to our minds. It's essentially impossible to run into debris. To put in perspective, imagine a tennis ball is the Earth, now even with over a million pieces of debris in orbit, they are all the size of an atom. Our vehicles are molecule sized. The chances of a molecule running into another atom are near negligible.

+airforce9872 yeah no shit, I'm doing a Physics/Chemistry degree at uni, I said it in more of how the period of the debris will eventually sync with the station and collide.

+saquist Same. The music particularly made it that much better.

+saquist reminded me of Galaxy Quest

+Chris Ryle do you know hat the music is?

+Urban Koala Two steps from hell - silverbird

+Эльхан Исаев Partly true. Second half is Silverbird. First half (after looking it up) is Two steps from hell - Welcome to Amaria.

Do you mean getting an encounter? Such stuff as docking is actually well displayed in a few YT videos.

+Bryan Holland +TobiPlayHD Scott Manley (of course) has a good tutorial for rendezvous. I believe there are some in-game tutorials as well now

+Matt Lowne Scott Manley for sure yes! :D 1.1 brought actually good tutorials. The docking itself and getting into the same orbit is a bit poorly explained though. Great job with your space station!

+Bryan Holland Or just use Mechjeb to rendovous

+Gregory Starr Thats how i made my station

Eve

Thanks!

What else is new

Foqs yeah

Souven Ir not nice.

He is though?

You da real MVP.

It good

i knos

JoyFerret it is

It's AWESOME but bare in mind that you'll get mad playing ksp

+

Am I your only fan that also watches this program lel

cartanfan -youtube haha, probably!

+RonnygoBOOM No really , HOW THE **** did he do this. I just like downloading stuff and burning them up in Kerbins or Eves atmosphere. It's just fun lol

I know write

Wow, i didnt know ronny watches ksp

+MalfunctionM1Ke thats what i though, but at the end it appeared they pad probe cores and could deorbit themselves

jdvgiwvj is the role of women in 200m

@@saudiathekingdomofhumanity1638 huh

@@theflightguy8726 dont ask i think he’s high

@@saudiathekingdomofhumanity1638 drunk

hey yall i play demo and the easiest way to get shit into orbit is by using some hammer boosters to get up about 3/4 into the aptmosphere and then once your t-130 with 5 fuel tanks and a command module produces power just pick a direction and make it go sideways

Кто русский????????

@@user-bk2hz9le5g Не я

Thats actually pretty impressive if you ask me. The game looks complicated, so i could only crash my rocket back into earth or the moon.

Use the Navball on 90 and that should work, you’ll have full orbit

But it's Kerbin, flat kerbiners

Ur picture got me bruh i freal thought-

\\Iron Apple// The mod Cormonaut aeronology (I think that’s the name) has a bunch of shuttle parts. But it wouldn’t bother with SRBs or an ET. Get a mod called rocket lab (I think) and they have fuel and electric generators so you pretty much have unlimited fuel

Quick save

All these self deprecating comments are annoying

How u even got a shuttle

Here I am. Trying to make 2 things orbit. Then dock.....

Bergen Nicholson Haha..

+Bergen Nicholson i cant rendezvous for shit :( hahahah if i could id be happy..

+gary kilduff me either. I try to land on the Mun but I just crash :(

+The Dockpacka Keeper Landing on Mun for the first time was one of the best moments in my gaming history, my heart was beating so hard :D It is mainly trail and error, however there are some basics you want to remember. - Get a stable orbit of Mun, somewhere between 7000m and 10000m is a safe altitude. - Face the retrograde, so you are traveling backwards - Pick a landing spot. Inside a crater is the best place, as it makes your altitude meter more accurate. On the daylight side also helps - Go into map view and start thrusting before the landing spot you have your eye on - Aim to have killed all sideways speed at the point when you are above your landing spot so you begin to fall down in a straight line. - Maintain a slow speed as you fall to prevent unexpectedly crash landing - Thrust slightly to slow yourself down to below about 7m/s - Remember to press F5 to save before every major step. - Remember landing gear. - Look for the shadow as you approach the surface. A spotlight is good if landing at night If you are crashing often, you may still be moving sideways slightly, that made me fail while I was new. I've landed on Mun 50+ times now, to the point where I don't use F5 because i like the danger :D

creeper

-.- gtfo with your minecraft.

+IneptØrange why? i actually enjoy that game,i enjoy ksp more though

+Wabadebadoo Olelikemjoel With a Spaceplane its actually relatively easy. Thanks to having wings you have a way of controlling your descent without using fuel, and that gives you a relatively big area where you can with a bit of know how practically choose where exactly you want to go. All you need is to deorbit very roughly at the right point and enter the atmosphere just as the manual describes it. Without wings its a great deal harder, but on the 2nd try i managed to land a base on Eve only 40km away from the next base i was aiming for. (Which was my first attempt of landing somewhere near the rover which, embarrassingly, was on the other side of the planet)

The toast says it all

The toast and the alien 👽 says it al

Technically it's not our world so there shouldn't be a problem

Ghld4er but it is a sim of a space agency such as space x

Bold of you to assume flat earthers know how to turn on a computer

I think its even HTTYD

It's "Flight of the Silverbird and Amaria" by Two steps from hell. This song isn't on the soundtrack for either of the HTTYD movies.

wha... click on ur timelime and that aint take a chance.. kevin doesnt even have that song what you have posted on 4:10 :D

Yeah.....I read the video description. It's flight of the silverbird, and that isn't on the ost for httyd.

or Kung fu panda

Joshua White wanted to ask you is this game only for PC or other platforms?

Just PC

herns young Now KSP is on ps4 and xbox one

No shit??

You are having the same experience as me. Good to know other people find this nostalgic too :)

@@wilbofreeshan6340 This video was actually the first Matt Lowne and the first KSP video I ever watched. I'm also happy that someone else feels the same amount of nostalgia as me. 'Tis a small world.

+B20C0 It's getting there, they are optimizing this every new patch they release.

imgur.com/uETmDf7 Image of my station inspired by this one.

+Björn Seine (DragonsForce) u wot m8? There are loads of docking ports! One of the launches was dedicated to installing the "docking arm"

FREE docking ports?

+Björn Seine (DragonsForce) There is 1 free port.

5 free ports. Pause at 6:03. 2 regular, 2 junior, 1 senior

Oh, right! Well, in that case, it looks like your station is fully operational! Congratulations! :D

true. I laugh when I am doing a war and one gets shot down and is happy.

Unknown_clan lol

Yes

hell yes. best game i've ever bought on steam it's amazing when you figure out how to make orbit and land on other planets

Michael Pan Definitely

Of course! The amount of things you can build are incredible.

so nearly 3 months later did you buy it?

scatterer

Thank you very much. great video by the way :)

Bach, is that you?

Johann S gghhgvmm sefbbnjhgfdfjbb

Few tips: Be in a circular orbit below or above your target's orbit. The greater the difference in your orbits the faster you will "Phase" with the target Adjusting the Radial and Anti Radial can fine tune your close approach once you get one. While approaching closest approach (the last minute or so) burn to match orbits and keep your prograde vector on your target vector, once you get it you can literally stop within metres of the target without rcs. and btw, it took me about 50 hours to get my first docking, ksp has a steep learning curve so don't feel discouraged.

Xaovin Thank you. I will keep at it. I am going through and following along with Scott Manley and that helps, but with his experience he makes it look easy.

No problem man, keep at it, it's so fulfilling when you get it.

Xaovin I will. I get frustrated easily, but this game has helped me keep my cool and be more patient. I hope to get it soon so I can start building my space station.

***** Thanks, I will. I tried for hours today to get into a good rendezvous positions... No go. I am so frustrated. I got into a good plane orbit, but for the life of me could not get things lined up enough to get in close enough to dock. The closest I was able to get was 12km away but then I started drifting away due to different orbits. Im going to do that scenarios.
