Ha just downloaded it, good fun if you like testing different designs, dont see the point though? Do you unlock better things the higher you go?

It's still in Alpha at the moment. What we are playing right now is the absolute base of the game engine. The creator wants to build a fully-fledged game around this in which you runh your very own space program.

I was playing around with this yesterday and It's surprisingly addictive! What's the highest altitude you guys got?

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

I've gotten to well over 1100km above the planet before getting bored and building another spacecraft. I was still travelling at over 2500m/s... :tongue:

 

[Chris Butcher]

Whaaaatttttt.......I can't get near that!

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

Are you building multi-stage rockets?

I got to about 1000KM above Kerbin before I too got bored, I was going just under 6000m/s. All with stock parts (It was 1st stage 3 SRB's and then 2 stages of Liquid with 3 fuel tanks stacked).
