5/15/2013 · I figured it was well overdue that I put together a more detailed rocket building guide that covers how to maximise your rocket’s performance. Using the Kerb…
6/1/2014 · In most cases rockets are nowhere near that efficient and payload fraction 5-10% is common. That means if you have 100 tons of payload, you’ll need to launch about 1000 tons of rocket . With given set of engines, there’s no way around that – you may get above 20% with the recent engines but I strongly doubt you can beat 25% limit.
A lot of the time, the payload of my rockets costs VASTLY more than the actual rocket stages. As an example, I have my orbital satellite / probe for the Mun. This was my first Mun mission and I wanted to bring along as much science as possible. The payload of my rocket , including about 6-7 science experiments, ended up costing around 25k on its …
If you know you’re building an overpowered rocket , build a smaller one. The #1 key to efficiency in rockets is that any excess mass beyond the absolute minimum required is hurting you. Even if it’s extra fuel, it’s not helpful to carry it unless you actually need it for your mission. So, build small.
Kerbal Space Program . … Imo, the most efficient design , because you aren’t carrying unnecessary weight, but dropping fuel tanks as you deplete them. … Your ship gets lighter as it empties, and can be attached via 2.5 large size strong decouplers to its launch rocket . I had a huge amount of Ion delta-v left orbiting pol, so a single launch …

Welcome to the first part of the KSP How to. Firstly we are going to go straight into basic rockets . Throughout this tutorial there will only be rocket based spaceflight tutorial. Planes will NOT be covered. The type of game that should be chosen is sandbox or career. Follow the on screen instructions to find the rocket building hangar.
