So when I go back to playing KSP, a much more complex 3D space sim, I think I’ll actually be able to make it to the “Mun” and back. This 2D flight sim has helped me understand space flight a little bit better. I love that I can transfer fuel to different modules! It’s perfect for creating a space station fueling center. It’s just enough to feel challenging but not so much that I’m overwhelmed. What I like about this game is that it’s got just the right amount of controls for a Mobile app. The free version has a great level of creativity involved and if I continue to play this enough I will definitely purchase the full version. I was looking for something similar to “Kerbal Space Program” which I play on my laptop. I downloaded the free game and have played it for a week now. This game is an awesome space flight simulator. Also, if there was a setting that would allow you to freely look around without being bound to the center of the craft would be nice for navigating around and looking at the different parts of the station in detail. Maybe some setting for “docking rcs” where the rcs only responds to your inputs and doesn’t try and self stabilize. I think this is an issue where the self stabilizing feature of the rcs inadvertently makes the craft move around, and it seems that turning the rcs off and back on fixes the problem until you try and maneuver again.

I also noticed this same problem when maneuvering larger ships to dock, and I lost about half of a fuel resupply to random rcs firing before I could dock it. What happened was the rcs began firing semi-randomly, sending the tug and the scaffold careening into the station, before it eventually began accelerating uncontrollably away from the station and was lost. However, when I was using one of my ‘tugs’, which are really just a fuel tank with a bunch of rcs stuck on the side, to move one of the scaffolds I was using to expand my station when I encountered an issue. Recently I’ve also been able to realize my dream of having a space station with the automated transition window and rendezvous mechanics (I have found it does have trouble with elliptical orbits, so a perfectly circular orbit provides best results). This game is incredibly good, and I’ve sunk many hours into it.
