I want to get back into KSP, but it's just such a daunting mountain to stand at the bottom of it. I don't really think I have the drive, even though it's a blast.

In post 49, Maruchan wrote:I slightly learned how to morescience, still haven't learned how to control my rocket in any direction other than straight up so biomes aren't a feasibility at the moment.


Also, why do liquid fuel rockets suck so much balls? I can't stay straight with them, no matter what. I toss any number of solid fuel, and in any number or stages, and i shoot up like a rocket, straight for the sky, once for 400,000 meters, but I toss a single liquid fuel and BAM, insta-crash.

Yea there's a reason scientists don't design rockets to explore Earth. Make some aircraft instead to hit all the biomes for science.

Not really sure what's fucking you with the liquid fuel. There's often a few small things that could go wrong (good thrust-to-weight ratio, SAS enabled, correct engine groupings, etc..) but following a video guide through to launch might be more helpful than individual problem troubleshooting. DasValdez and Scott Manley make some pretty good stuff.

I've been following some science-based written guides that have been the basis I am designing my rockets from, and they all still go wacky around 10,000-15,000 meters and spin out of control

That sounds like a weight imbalance/asymmetry.

What guides are you using and what does your rocket look like.
