I Quit This Thing

Thanks I wanted help with engines and stages like what you were talking about earlier in the post. Thanks for the feed back, I learned a lot from SimplePlanes and how to do little details that make a build stand out. @bartekkru100

@Planefun
Well, I've played KSP for almost 6 years now. I'll try looking into your stuff tomorrow, but from what I've seen already, your crafts look better than mine in this game.

Can u tweek my builds geez u know a lot @bartekkru100

@bartekkru100 Oh ok.
Ok, I’ll try that!

@tsampoy
Delta-v is a measure of maximum velocity a craft can theoretically achieve, what you've propably meant is TWR (Thrust to Weight Ratio) and yes, even without tweaking the engine it has enough TWR to lift off (although barely) and when you increase the fuel consumption it goes all the way up to about 2.7.

@bartekkru100 No sorry.

@tsampoy
Btw, do you know if there's a way to pump fuel autoamtically between tanks? It really annoys me that I need to set which tanks to drain and which to fill on every single flight.

@bartekkru100 so that means that one Apex engine has enough delta v to lift the entire rocket off the ground?

@bartekkru100 Oh, ok.

@tsampoy
All of them.

@bartekkru100 Oh ok Thanks!
Wait, all of the side engines?
Or the Mage I side engines.

@tsampoy I may test it when ill get my PC back and I'll try to fix it :)

You don't need nearly as many engines, especially on the first stage. Not only do they weight a lot, but also if you accelerate too fast in the first few moments of your flight then you'll lose incredible amouts of delta-v to atmospheric drag. When you remove all the side engines from the first stage and increase fuel consumption in the remaining engine your TWR will still be enough to lift off without losing too much velocity to gravity AND it will actually have more delta-v despite having less fuel.
My Luna capable rocket weights about 35t less despite me not even touching the tinker panel to lower the mass of any of my parts. What I think you should do is just try checking different configurations while looking at delta-v stats to see what works best.

@grizzlitn Thanks! But it doesn’t go to Cylero, sadly...

Um for now I can't test but I'll finish to repair my PC and I'll get the game, after I'll look at it :) the rocket look cool too.
