Requirement for KSP guidance: 3 points needed.
I began playing that game yesterday... But I have a minor issue heading to the Mun. First off, no, it's not about the rocket—it's the controls. I'm too slow for them; I'm attempting a circular orbit to leave, but I'm such a sluggish turtle that when I try to move the rocket, I end up 400 km away :C (actually, at that distance it's a waste of fuel...). I've looked through some guides, but I'm terrible with the controls. Plus, I can't even use the 'add maneuver' option because I don't understand how it functions—every time I try, it spirals into a potato orbit and drifts too far. I also tried going 75 m/s, but... (don't bother asking about adjusting orbits x.x). If you still want me to try another rocket...
Consider these videos for a slightly updated version of the game, covering most essential details. For career mode, ensure you've upgraded mission control and the tracking center to access maneuver nodes. Click right on your orbit and drag one of the six symbols to modify the dotted orbit. Additional guidance is available at http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Maneuver_node. The KSP forums can also be useful for queries: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum.php
I'm curious about whether time can be stopped here. I'm trying to grasp the concept of the maneuver node so I can use it effectively, even though I'm not sure how to apply it yet. Just a quick question: is there a way to pause time?
