  1. Here is my 3 man lander. It was hell to make it able to withstand re-entry and landing on kerbin, but everything was solved with more parachutes.
  2. zoxygene plugin is fun. basically a solar powered life support system. It adds quite a bit of difficulty, the parts are very heavy. Also, you can kill your crew on a munar transfer by accidently doing it in the shadow of Kerbin where your solar panels won't work. http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/showthread.php/8949-PLUGIN-PART-0-16-Zoxygene-%28Life-Support%29-mod-v0-6-1-%2812-07-28%29
  3. I presume that nova means stock parts. People can mod whatever they like into the game. Anyways. We're done here. All that is to be said has been said. We appreciate suggestions, but this one in particular is done to death.
  4. Good News everybody! The Rocket fuel is combustible! The tanks start popping at about 1:50
  5. I am slain by your ability to pull quotes! *Slumps over, dead.*
  6. Cthulhu does not dwell in space. If you read "The Call of Cthulhu", you learn that the city of R'lyeh (where Cthulhu sleeps) is located somewhere in the bottom of the South Pacific. Being that Kerbin does not have a South Pacific, there isn't any way to reasonably work the Cthulhu mythos into KSP. Nor is there any reason, as Cthulhu was killed by a boat not a rocket. Just between you and me, H.P. Lovecraft made some pretty surreal books, but they aren't very good writing.
  7. I did not want to bring the concepts of microgravity and planetary physics to a discussion about why we see the sky as blue on the ground and black in space. It's off topic. It all comes back to relativity, really. Relative to those of us who have to stand under 1G all day long because we can't get into orbit, anything that appears to float in mid air is in "zero-G"
  8. The sky turns from blue to black! It's all about perspective. From the ground you are looking up through all the atmosphere When the sun is out, light reflects off the atmosphere, and the sky turns blue! At night, there is no light from the sun to bounce off the atmosphere, and the blue sky disappears, and you can see the stars and all of space. When you're just high enough, you can get a photo like this, showing the blue sky and the blackness of space. Most airliners fly at 30,000 feet or so, or 9.1 kilometers high. You have to go quite a bit higher for the sky to start turning black. The space station, is about 402 kilometers high (This is still within the atmosphere technically, but its black like space and has no gravity so who cares.) The SR-71 had a maximum altitude of 25.9 Kilometers, and at those altitudes, you can see the transition between the sky and the blackness of space. The atmosphere, The blue sky that keeps us all alive is shockingly thin.
  9. Listen very carefully to the rangemaster about how to avoid breaking paint balls in the barrel of your gun. The range guns are never as good as you\'d like, so don\'t gunk up your barrel and make it any worse then it already is! You\'ll have some bruises, but it\'s a great time. I second wearing thick clothing if at all possible. I don\'t think you\'ll need a cup. All the ranges I went to have minimum range restrictions and check to make sure players who bring their own guns don\'t have their pressure up to dangerous levels. Also, bet your friend a dollar he cant eat a few paint balls. They\'re 100% non-toxic and edible (the rangemaster will back you up on their edibility). The look on his face when he bites down on one will be fantastic One more thing. Don\'t forget to lead your target.
  10. [mod]I'm going to leave you with this and remind you that the Nazi's murdered a whole lot of people. Some of those murdered were even my relatives. [/mod] [mod] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwins_law [/mod] EDIT: I want you to sit down and think real hard about if you really believe that having a post deleted online is the same as systematic Genocide. Have a nice day. Love and friendship and all.
  11. I remember the overthrust light. I remember an atmosphere that ended at 32 Km. I remember solid rocket boosters that got heavier as they burned.
  12. Some sort of full immersion game. Direct neural interface so it seems real. I\'d probably want the game to involve piloting Shirow Powered armor. A Guges D like this would be just fine.
  13. Pull the broken one out of your computer (with it turned off of course) and try and open it up and fix it yourself. It will be a fun adventure, and if you cant fix it, it was broken to begin with and you were going to replace it anyways.
  14. PC or laptop? Both should be removable from the machine, then it\'s a matter of taking a screwdriver to the drive to carefully take the top cover off. then you can usually just remove whatever obstruction is there. desktop CD drives are cheap, might as well just get a new one.
  15. [mod]EvE is by no means an easy game to play. It is quite ruthless. You are welcome to enjoy, or not enjoy playing the game, but please lets stay away from flame wars over it. This is not the spot for personal rants about what you think is wrong with X Y or Z game.[/mod]
