Mike, I'm loving this RP-1 series. I had a terrible time trying to play this. Your doing great. Thanks for adding the "oopsies" in there, much better than perfect launches/landings every time. Keep up the great work.
Hey Mike, now that you’ve experienced the pain of mistakes and failures seeming to always come in bursts that feel like your program’s getting derailed… welcome to RP-1. 😁
@@MikeAben Absolutely. I played KSP on and off for like a decade before I finally checked out RO/RP-1 about six months ago ago and I’m totally hooked - I’m constantly starting new careers and trying to optimize my approach.
Not sure if you pick up on this later, but that rated burn time is just a guide especially when you get more engine data on that particular engine. Once you hit your rated burn time your MTBF(mean time between failure) starts to go down so your dice rolls for failure get harder and harder, but you can get almost 3x your rated burn length once you get a good bit of engine data. Love your series btw, it's so chill and wholesome.
The launch clamp is AlphaMensae's Modular Launch Pads. I'm not sure on the engines and film camera as all that came as part of the RP-1 package. Realism Overhaul would be my guess with the engine.
@@MikeAben You gain a substantial amount of DU for your engine if you recover it. Not that crucial for an Aerobee at this stage and not as fun as blowing it up, but definitely good to know.

It just makes it more satisfying when you succeed.

imagine only just getting ur launch failure like half of my rocket 2nd stages fail to ignite with the rest exploding for mysterious reasons

Thanks. I do eventually pick up on this later in this series. Now I static fire test any new engine monitoring the MTBF.
I assume if your wreckage were to land in a populated area, you get some kind of debuff?
No, the game does not model that.
I don’t have some the part that you have with the X1 rocket plane, what mods are the engine and what mod is the film camera?
And the launchpad thingy

@@MikeAben what version are you on I don’t have access to the modular launchpads
@@Jeb_bezos 1.12.3. All this info is in the description, by the way.
@@MikeAbenit is fasa not modular Launchpads.
Yay, weekly episodes!
I can't say how long they'll stay weekly, but it will be at least for a few more weeks.
why did you range safety the Xasr 2 when it had chutes?
I was excited.
