I haven't tried to do so, but is it possible to use a 1.2.2 savegame in 1.3?

So FASA launch clamps Mod works with 1.3?

I'm one of those Linux desktop users, since 1998. If KSP will no longer be released for Linux because some business dude thinks it's not worth doing so I'd be more than disappointed. KSP is by far the best, native Linux game on the market. Unfortunately, business dudes in the gaming industry don't give a snack about Linux. TT is no exception here (ever seen a Linux native GTA release? Me neither!) and if they decide to cut costs (which usually is the first thing that happens after such a deal) I'm pretty sure the Linux version will definately be the first to fall victim to this.

I just downloaded, installed and launched 1.3 and in the loading screens "Forgetting parachutes" was shown - that alone was worth the update ...

Combining dark, blood thirsty horror and humor isn't an easy thing to do, I guess. And it fits, the horror and the laughter - keeps us, the readers, in balance. And that is something that is done very well in "Shadows" and "Whispers". Whatever bad may happen, you can be sure that there will be a good joke, some wordplay or funny reference to pop culture in the next paragraph. Especially in "Whispers" you can sometimes sense the growing confidence the author gains in his writing and storytelling - and I think it's very high profile. Maybe not Shakespeare but definitely high profile.

As the lights come up, the people in the movie theatre head for the exit. A few minutes later the big room is empty except for one guy still sitting in his seat, amazed at the fine movie that he just saw. "If there will be a sequel, I'll have to see it", lodger Kerman thinks to himself ... P.S.: Thank you very much, CatastrophicFailure!

Maybe I can help - did you mean this one: Snacks in Space ?

Derpy ... Derpy ... ah, of course! Oh, I'd be delighted to meet that fellow again: "spackerb uh, ah ... going into spaaaaaace!"

Mk 1-2 command pod. The very heart of many designs I come up with (except the spaceplanes I build)

I'm not a writer (I wish I was blessed with that talent) and I haven't read all of the mission reports and fan fiction that is available on this forum. But I want to thank every single one of you guys for all the mission reports, (short) stories and graphic novels that you folks are hammering out on this sub-forum: Thank you!

Um, you know: everytime someone posts a new message here, I get an email. Every time CatastrophicFailure posts here and I get an email, I feel like a kid on boxing day. You guys are making me kind of nervous. Stop it until we CatastrophicFailure knows what troubles poor Val is going to face next time ... pleeeeeease! P.S: Moar!!!!

Well, sometimes silence is the better choice. But either way: I'm pretty sure that people will continue to get inspired by things. Be it video games, movies, songs, literature or art - like KSK wrote: it's in our nature. The day we lose our enthusiasm and imagination will be the sadest day of all times.

Will the names of the characters change with a different language? Will "Jeb" become "Hans" and "Val" become "Rosamunde" in the german localization? Honestly, I got into KSP when there was only english available as a language and I will continue to play it in english. I don't think that the distinct humor and irony that is part of KSP and that I have come to enjoy over the past few years can easily be translated into another language. And especially german translations of video game content do more often hurt than entertain the player (I fondly remeber "Inca 2", back in 1993 - all voice overdubs were done by one single guy with a south-german accent. It was hillarious for the first two minutes, but annoying throughout the rest of the game). I do see the need for localization when KSP being used as an educational tool, since it is probably easier for a young or younger audience to read and follow instructions and explanations in their native language.

Testing SXT Continued and Sum Dum Heavy Industries Service Module System - guess I like 'em.

@AlamoVampire - I know how you feel, dude! I played many, many hours of KSP with our former cat Shiva overseeing mission progress and watching my every move. Then, one day, she had to leave ...

That's pretty much what i did with that rover. The motor controller was already assembled and ready to run so I just needed to get two level shifters and some wires to connect it all. Well, I did some experimenting using a breadboard, so I could check out how WiringPi and softPWM work, but despite that all I had to do was add pull-down resistors to the level shifters (otherwise the wheels would start spinning once the Raspberry Pi is powered on).

Despite playing KSP I also like to play around with real hardware from time to time. Four (!) years ago I started a little project, a small raspberry pi based rover, which I kept on my shelf for ages once the technical stuff was working. Now, a few days ago I picked up the loose ends and finally wrote some simple code to actually *do* something with it - and it didn't go *boom* either. So, here's a little clip showing you what I'm talking about. Boy am I proud

Moar?

Cheers, mate! And don't forget to check that the correct end of the rocket points up.

Maiden voayge of my multi purpose transport shuttle. It can reach Minmus and Mun from Kerbin LKO. Its main purpose is to carry fuel from the munar surface converters up to the orbital depot. But it can also carry up to 6 Kerbals and comes with KIS containers.

The moment I set up a mining operation on Mun was the moment I installed MJ in order to make routine operations (such as delivering fuel from the surface based converters to an orbiting depot) more convenient.

Joining the hype train just now. I'm really looking forward to 1.3 and the new expansion pack and I've already decided to purchase (purchased full version in october 2014) the latter once it's available. Given the fact that I didn't play anything else for the past 3 1/2 years to me this is just fair.
