There\'s always a good excuse to belittle someone, eh? My point is more that there are two quite different genres bearing the same name at large. I suppose because one of them means a lot to me, seeing it in that diluted, heavily cliched form leaves a bad taste in my mouth but as I pointed out there are some artists producing music that is between the two that I enjoy. I just hope no-one misses out on dubstep\'s roots - I feel like one of those people seeing other\'s claim that today\'s pop-trash wrote Queen songs.

I think what dubstep means to me is more important than trying to out-obscure you guys on artists, but what made ME fall in love with dubstep was artists like Distance, RSD, Youngsta, Skream (before this magnetic man business, give me those dutch flowers!) Kode9 and of course Burial. I\'d never been to an electronica gig until a stranger took me to a dubstep/jungle gig in a basement in Dublin in 2008. Perhaps a problem here is also the way we\'re listening to the music, to me the ideal way to listen to said artists is as they\'re being manipulated well by a DJ, dancing in a room of like-minded people with a massive sound system, the feeling of your chest cavity resonating (skrillex don\'t touch 19Hz) - just a spiritual experience. Dubstep that\'s deep, creative, rhythmic and atmospheric is really much easier on the mind than the mid-range wobbly-noise mainstream business - it\'s really different music whatever you want to call it. That being said I think Downlink is pretty awesome and I consider him almost in that spectrum...

Alright so - this is my opinion... The people of the U.K. will not benefit in any way from hosting the Olympics. The \'affordable housing\' promised is going to be in 13/15 of London\'s most impoverished areas, taxpayer money (you do know that rich people can afford to pay people to get around as many taxes as possible, right?) spent on building McDonalds and Westfield shopping complexes... They\'re spending the people\'s money so they can spend more money. Do you see how if McDonalds wants to open a \'restaurant\', they should be paying for it\'s construction? I\'m sorry but to me it seems SO wrong, I\'m sure lots of people enjoy it and the athletes work hard - does that justify the billions in (already immoral, imo) tax going down the drain? Stuff that should by rights be spent on roads, education, etc. is instead being spent on \'100 days of traffic delays\' and unmanned drones (I know the UK has the most CCTV coverage in the world but do they know about the drones? They\'ve only been allowed officially in the U.S. for a few months...) when things really aren\'t looking good for the UK financially. Would you like a surface-to-air missile site set up on the roof of your home? Know that the people of the UK were forced into paying for it. The a bit about Hitler & friends- from wikipedia.org 'Carl Diem devised the idea of the torch relay for the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin that was organized by the Nazis under the guidance of Joseph Goebbels. Krupp armaments company produced the torches in wood and metal, inspired by an olive leaf. The Olympic Flame was lit by a concave mirror in Olympia, Greece and transported over 3,187 kilometres by 3,331 runners in twelve days and eleven nights from Greece to Berlin.' just a bit of trivia really but you know there\'s that guy with Godwin\'s law in his signature ;D

I imagine a HOTAS setup is really handy for the new EVA controls if you have extra hat switches! I\'d love to get a force feedback stick but it seems like there\'s no reliable, reasonably priced one on the market!(please prove me wrong... me being in New Zealand makes it a bit harder) I\'ll just have to wait until there\'s a used MSFFB2 for sale online... saw one so far but it was a gameport one.

I really don\'t get where this 'you can\'t cheat in a single-player game' idea comes from... Plenty of games have cheats which when used incorrectly ruin the point and fun of the game. Because this game is currently sandbox-style of course it doesn\'t feel like cheating but in .cfg editing parts in extreme you\'re just cheating yourself out of the feelings of achievement you might get, unless you\'re the type who feels achievement doing anything with an unimaginably powerful, unbreakable rocket... if so - you\'re far more easily entertained than most, I should hope. When I was young I remember a guy bragging how he beat Doom on Ultra-Violence with IDDQD and IDKFA... did he want me to congratulate him for sitting there more or less watching a film?

Methinks no-one here understands that Skrillex and ilk produce music of a genre that is not dubstep. That\'s up to you but it is not the deep, thoughtful, somatic music that I call dubstep - the reason OP calls this a challenge is because he\'s making people listen to whiny pop music that is wrongly named.

I\'m sure the people of Britain think it\'s a good spending of their billions (and oh that lovely private industry providing 2% of the cash, sure took the burden off the people there), I\'m sure they feel safe now that six surface-to-air missile sites have been set up on top of resident\'s buildings, I\'m sure they appreciate the fine 5,000V six metre fence surrounding the 'village'. I\'m sure everyone feels just great that the whole thing was kicked off (passing the torch) by a race started by Hitler & Co... Can you believe their tagline is 'inspire a generation'?! Training the populace to function with the police state - one international event at a time.

I think MechJeb is great for the info it gives you, handy to have the inclination and eccentricity displayed - if I wanted to try some kind of 'full real' I\'d have to learn lots of maths and work these things out myself (which I have done to a certain extent). I tried out the autopilot functions a few times... a)ascents really inefficient compared to my ascents and b)VERY likely to induce unstoppable roll/spin, collision trajectories (usually with the wrong body of mass) and resultant fireballs. I do think people are missing out if their first (successful) flights are automated but I guess I\'m missing out by not doing full orbital calculations and using MechJeb\'s cheesy info panels too

Well I\'m assuming that .16 will break persistence files (need a fresh one anyway) so: 0: Blow up rockets made of new parts until I get a decent craft for satellite deployment. 1: Wait for mod compatability (mechjeb, satrelay, powertech, electrical energy I\'m lookin\' at you). 2: Re-build satellite network for the 5th time. 3: Rescue any failed missions - no more 'end flight' Mostly I\'m looking forward to the new parts and the way they stick together the most, at the moment all my spaceplanes stick to the runway and then flip off the end... That being said EVA\'s will be super cool.

Gorgeous! I\'m this downloading now and I\'ll try out the rebalance once I\'ve had some fun with it 'stock', thanks Nibb31. I\'m still hopeful for another release (dat Kliper) :hailprobe: and I think it\'ll be worth the wait. Perhaps the changes in .16 will make it easier for the pack to integrate with stock (and mod) parts as parts in a ship won\'t collide with each other anymore so everything might be less wobbly! Thanks either way Deusoverkill! handy to post now so it doesn\'t get closed for necro. ever.

And perhaps in .16 someone will take the first in game screenshot of the first Kerbal on the Mun, with Kerbin and the KSP flag reflected in his visor 8) Anyone using this mod should take a screenshot or two so there are some standing flags ;D

Putting all this praise in perspective helps a bit too - the game is still in alpha. I think it\'s crazy that the demo of an alpha game is playable let alone great (I think it is and anyone can check this themselves for free ). I think the devs are trying the hardest they can and enjoy the work, the forum is peaceful unlike any game where the forum community has issues with the dev\'s motives. I think they\'ve made it clear that they want to make a fun game and hopefully they\'ve already seen success in the form of pre-orders (and if they haven\'t I\'m sure they\'d let us know I, and I\'m sure a few others, would donate more so the game would realise it\'s highest potential) . Also currently we get to enjoy a sandbox mode, the sand is pretty good too - it may not be this way forever.

So... Dusty, it\'s the last day of June - I trust you\'re revving up your brain for this project now. I\'d be all game to help if I had any useful skills (unless you need weird sound effects) - at the moment I use mechjeb for it\'s stats so I don\'t have to look at the map screen all the time, but the orbital and surface information windows (while super helpful) still get in the way. I have a perfectly good monitor going unused right next to my current one - don\'t waste it!

I see the basis of a tracked, monster launchpad. Have some internets from me, not sure I\'ll be needing them when you finish this project!

GeneralIssue, it\'s like that in every field - anyone who claims to be an 'expert' generally isn\'t as the more one finds out about something the more one realises one doesn\'t know. Totally on-topic: If Squad are planning on an FTL system (seems sorta likely) - we will travel far and thus need lots to look at. How close we\'ll be able to get to gas planets is another question. Perhaps we\'ll get clouds first, then nebulae and THEN something with hardcore gravity like a gas giant.
