Landing on target

To those of you who can precision land boosters, how are you doing it? Mechjeb? If that’s the case, how? I’ve been trying to land a booster on target using mech jeb but it always seems like I just miss it by alittle.

What’s a solid price to buy the game at?

I own Ksp and the dlcs on Xbox already and I remember paying around $30. I want to get it on my laptop now for mods and more controls, and on steam it has a 15% off sale for 56 ish dollars. Is that a good price for pc?

Captured my first asteroid. Quite underwhelmed.

https://preview.redd.it/kaq0hy2vq7td1.png?width=1086&format=png&auto=webp&s=dc88dcb71873514f02ed90a5ce30c9301f0f09c0

Thought I would give this a try. Found a medium sized asteroid and was able to pull it into Kerbin orbit. I made a test rig to see how mining on it would work and see how I would go able building a fueling station around it. I made the ship with the drill/clamping contraption on the left to see how fast resources would collect. I fired them up and warped. After about 30 game days, it barely refilled the original retrieval ship (one on the right) before it was depleted. I would have been ok with the resources being finite. I was even planning on setting up a system on the fueling station so I could swap the asteroids out. But when they have this little, it's just not worth it. The science was even a let-down, only giving me 60 for the surface sample.

That being said, it was fun to capture and making/flying the ships to do it was a nice detour from the normal grind I've been doing.

Are there any mods that add small interstellar engines?

I have KSP interstellar installed but looking through the engines I didn’t see any ones that are small. Or don’t require some special fuel type I’m looking for something akin to a Frame shift drive from elite or something that can produce a huge amount of delta V for very little fuel cost as I am wanting to build a small preferably mk1 size interstellar ship

Solar panels are not working correctly after installing mods

Whenever I place a solar panel it automatically deploys and I cannot retract it, before modding I could retract it, how to fix? Edit: they also don’t gimbal to face towards the sun

KSP doesn't run well at all on my computer.

I have an apple m2 air with 8 GB of ram. I am well aware that this isn't the ideal gaming system. I still thought that it would be fine because I heard KSP doesn't need much ram to run. I can barely run it at lowest settings, and I can't have anything else running in the background. Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone help?

Any Visual Mods/Optimisations for my Build?

My current build is an i5, 16gb ram, and a GTX 1660 Super. The visual Mods I use are EVE, Spectra, Scatterer, Parallax, and Volumetric Clouds. At times its extremely laggy and Crashes often, as well as long loading times. I also end up at 70%-99% Ram Usage. Does anyone have any good visual mods or optimisation for me? Thanks!

Any good solar system packs?

Particularly ones that work with Galaxies Unbound? The new renewed one, I mean... Can't seem to find any by just searching for galaxies unbound system packs. Or really any new system packs in general. I would do infinite discoveries, but it makes loading any ship impossible for me.

Would appreciate some help. Thanks!

I've just built my first satellite

So i'm new to this game, i've installed it yeaterday and built my first space satellite. I need some help, cause when i launch it it flies straight for about 30-35 seconds and then starts to rotate and i lose all control. It is built symmetrically, as it is able to stand straight and fly straight for a while, so i just don't know what's the problem. I tried to reduce the weight of its upper part, but it didn't help

How do I get more research points?

I am to a point where I can reliable get into orbit and return. But I'm getting barely any research points for it. I've done the goo experiment, measured temperature and air pressure, and done an EVA and mission logs. What other activities can I do for research points when I'm so early in the game?

Kerbalism "EnforceCoherency". Does it cause problems?

So, playing with Kerbalism I've found I'm getting the "incoherent electrical source" thingy quite a bit. Doing some digging, I found out the fix is to set EnforceCoherency to false.

Does setting EnforceCoherency to false cause any problems in the game?
