Ugh. I fought stages so hard in kerbal, that everyone I showed my rockets to recoiled in disgust. It’s not my fault, guys! I have a pathological repulsion of ‘wasting’ items!

Yes, but I don’t think I’ve ever gotten past the 90 research cost mark, so I was always a little gimped in my approaches. One day I’ll buckle down and really get into it. I’ll need to find that research mod that makes it not so painful though.

The base research is trivial. Just do the random missions. They give so much in return, it’s ridiculous.

I just like building my initial crawler with like eight of every sensor to go around the space complex. I always thought that was a great bit of game planning on their part.

Ok, did you ever feel regret when realizing how many items you wasted going for that approach? Just use a reusable booster stage.

Well, see, that’s the thing! I put enough parachutes on, AND made sure I could hit the atmo enough to slowly drag my velocity down to an entry arc, AND had enough fuel to keep my velocity low enough at that point, that I never lost any parts, landed them all and recovered!
I was a horrible designer.

BUT THE FUEL

Does the extra fuel you used hauling around your entire launch vehicle not count as waste?

Don’t… don’t make me cry, man. Not this late at night.
