    Another fantastic video. You have a very relaxing teaching style that make subjects that first appear complex, to be nothing more than a series of simple steps. Watching your videos has made the game so much more enjoyable for me, keep up the good work.

    After finally starting playing KSP 2 weeks ago, this video is what helped me get to Eve! Thanks so much, lovely video

    Fun one, thanks Mike! Always good to see a transfer to an inner planet instead of an outer one!

      Eve is a great first interplanetary target.

    I thought I was good at this game and was just enjoying listening, but matching a target orbit was something I could never get my head around until now. Thanks Mike, great explanations as always! 👍

    I myself have spent hours trying to fulfill a contract directly over a certain location with satelite and given up. Your video here (and all the others) helps beginners excellent, thanks for that.

    • @MikeAben

      Thanks. Yeah, moving a satellite to a different location in an orbit is not intuitive.

    • @andysoft838
      @andysoft838 Год назад

      @@MikeAben Today I made it. The satellite is at the right position to the ground station. Unfortunately, I have only been able to use eyeballing to estimate. I have not found anything that tells me the right time for the maneuver. Just wait with Timewarp until it fits approximately. Then new maneuver and close the circle. The rest was fine tuning. Thanks again.

    I noticed when you launched you were in a prograde parking orbit about Kerbin, but talked about being retrograde when transferring to the inner planets from Kerbin. I take it that the direction that you are orbiting Kerbin does not matter, and it is that you are burning retrograde to the orbit about the Sun that matters?

    • @MikeAben

      You are correct.

    Question: I see next to navball 3 items; node time, start burn in, and burn time. I only have the two top and bottom, no start burn in.
    Wondering why? I have tracking building and most buildings at fully upgraded, my pilots are 2-star.

    • @MikeAben
      @MikeAben  Год назад

      You need it on in the settings. I believe it's called Extended Burn Time.

    What was the video that came before this? You refer to it when saying the previous mission gave you a lot of science, but I can't see it linked.
    Also, the first off world base mission I've been given is to put an outpost on eve... And I haven't even landed on Mun or Minmus. This whole time I've thought it's cos the game expects landing on Eve to be fairly easy. I'm really realising that it's not, at all 😂

    • @MikeAben
      @MikeAben  7 месяцев назад +1

      The previous mission was over a couple of videos involving a base and rover on Minmus. There's a link to the whole playlist in the description.
      Yeah, many of the contracts come in a nonsensical order. You have to be selective with them.

      @@MikeAben Thank you again :) I'm gonna have to go dump the contract, but seeing how much it was gonna give me for completion, I'm dreading the costs of failure! I'll have to look into that set of videos, unfortunately I'm missing a few sources of science due to being on console so I'm eternally playing a game of catch-up, and always having to pick which tech I want to prioritise first.

    Hi, when a tried to use my maneuver tool, it's saying that my orbital eccentricity is too high. How can I fix that?

    • @MikeAben
      @MikeAben  7 месяцев назад +1

      The maneuver tool is limited and only works when your orbit is close to circular and equatorial. You either have to adjust your orbit with further burns or attempt the transfer without using the maneuver tool.

  • @ctbram0627
    @ctbram0627 Год назад

    yes 133.3 x 10 = 1333ec, But you have two antennas? Wouldn't you need twice that, or 2666ec?

    • @MikeAben
      @MikeAben  Год назад

      You would think, but no. It only uses the fastest antenna when transmitting. Multiple antennas only factor into what the signal strength is.

    • @ctbram0627
      @ctbram0627 Год назад

      Good to know. Thanks@@MikeAben

  • @vrenibowe
    @vrenibowe 7 месяцев назад

    Also, if only one antenna is used, and its always the best antenna on the vessel, why have multiple antennas? Does the facing of the antenna matter? I can never tell with this game 😅

    • @MikeAben
      @MikeAben  7 месяцев назад +1

      Only one antenna is used in determining transmission speed, but all the antennas are used to determine the strength of the connection. Without multiple antennas, you may not have a connection at all. Also, the strength of the connection determines the science bonus when transmitting.
      No, it doesn't matter which way the antennas are facing.

    • @vrenibowe
      @vrenibowe 7 месяцев назад

      Oooh, that's really helpful! I had been wondering what the game meant when it said they were combinable. I wasn't sure if it meant as a chain of antennas (like one on ground, one in orbit, one near the mun) or something. Thank you!
