Reply to comment by UmbralRaptor in what is the best space exploration / adventure game to play? by northernboundary

Kerbal Space Program is a great game. But man can it be tough at times. I've yet to manage a stable orbit around Kerbal, but have launched a few rockets into orbit around the star...

Have you played the tutorials yet? I found them very helpful when I started.

Also a lot of people also find it easier to play in science mode your first time through, not sandbox or career.

I'll have to check out the tutorials. I think I just kind of jumped straight in with sandbox and started sending things into space.

Marcus house on YouTube took me from a menace to kerbin to crashing every version on ksp due to ludicrous part counts in orbit. Check him out. He is also a super good space nerd content wise

Tbh this is the best way to learn it. It is how i did it and it gives u a better understanding. I use youtube or the forum for a general idea tho sometimes

Nothing like figuring out a stable LKO. Been working on a jool science mothership for about a year now. Still working on lander designs to get more science from the surface of the moons but hopefully will be ready to launch before KSP2 comes out

Your launch window closes in just a few months then. The devs announced KSP 2 will be released into Early Access 24th Feb 2023.

Sure orbit is fun, but have you tried orbital rendezvous and docking. Took me 5 hours to do my first one..
