Plugins for KSP allow you to add new features and change the behaviour of the game.

The primary plugin site is http://kerbalspaceport.com. However I found more up to date plugins and mods available on the Kerbal Space Program forums, http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/.

The first plugin I have used is the “Visual Enhancements” mod, which primarily adds clouds, making for a much more dynamic launch experience:

I’m not sure if it also changed the mountain terrain, or if I just happened to land in a nice area:

So - the Kerbal Space Program - possibly the greatest computer game to ever reside on my disk storage.

Getting Started

Its all about science! Science is the KSP unit of development, the more you generate/collect, the better the rocketry parts you can use is.

As you start with very limited parts, a good way to begin is out on the rocket pad, without launching a thing.

Science can be collected from ‘biomes’ - simply put different zones of the universe. Conveniently, the rocket pad is one biome, the surrounding area is another,standing on the steps of the starter rocket capsule counts as a third (‘flying’ over the rocket pad), not to mention the runway the surrounding ocean shores and the water itself, so that’s six areas to research straight away, giving you a starting boost to your planetary excursions!
