  1. Remember that something next to the runway is still counted as being on it. Make sure you are onto the flat area of KSC and you should be fine. If you have done so try the same scenario several times as one of the first things people will ask you about weird stuff, is it repeatable?
  2. Another minor point when getting "splashed down at Kerbin" contracts, you don't actually have to take off. If you have a reasonable rover you can simply drive into the water. This helps keep costs down. Although the sight of a tiny rover with a couple of engines strapped to it...... Likewise "landed at Kerbin" doesn't need am actual landing, merely for the craft to be landed.
  3. Didn't a spent Ariane stage hit a French military sat once? Pretty Kerbal.
  4. I tend to change them on a whim but my usual suspects... Pretty Kerbal Lambretta..... All taken by myself. Oh and a rather nice one of ScoJo as Black Widow, grrrrrrr....
  5. Has a sign saying Flat Earth University. This skating rink...
  6. Had to write two sides of A4 as homework for my Engineering Design teacher when I was 14. The subject? Screw threads. Cue much waffling about Archimedes and irrigation and it's benefits. The two sides of A4 was a requirement of every piece of homework he ever gave out, didn't matter what the subject was. So we had a crash course in both concise and waffling styles of writing.
  7. A few from last year. Featuring a guest appearance by the elusive English Summer.
  8. Personally I'd probably have to go with Jon Pertwee . He always came across to me as the Sci Fi equivalent of Patrick Macnee's Steed, although Emma Peel knocked any of the companions for six.
  9. I quite like the greyed out parts. I can pick which parts of a node I want and pick up something that may be useful later. Perhaps an option to show/hide unbought parts?
  10. Maybe you should ask for a "pay to launch" version. And then imagine instead of frittering away your money you could see the benefit of saving up for something that's worth it. Bit of a valuable life lesson in there.
  11. It's in the new game settings. Just uncheck the button, don't think you can do this with a game in progress only new starts. If you don't purchase the whole node on the R&D screen you can still buy them individually in the VAB and SPH.
  12. Not using 1.3.1 (still on 1.3) ATM but when having problems with wheels interacting with the cargo bay using the Buffalo Rover hitch I raised the target hitch slightly and raised the capture range slightly. This seems to work.
  13. The only thing that could possibly kill the game would be the lack of something to play it on. RIP fighting Steel.
  14. Luckily it only wiped out the Flat Kerbin Society. The rest of the population having already retreated to KerbTube proof bunkers. Some say the impact set back progress by many centuries but recent studies have shown that the immediate planetwide rise in IQ compensated for this.
  15. Not a CKAN user but I would expect as long as you don't point it at the second install you should be fine. And mods can be deleted at will, just be aware that if you have any craft using those mods they will get broken.
  16. I don't know if this actually removes the part but check if you have "disable stock scanning" on for SCANsat.
  17. I made my Vespa faster by the simple expedient of removing big lumps of the chassis (it's monocoque) all the redundant wiring and fitting a lightweight saddle and bicycle mudguard (held on with electrical tape). Oh and a Harley petrol tank. Imagine 80mph on this...........
  18. Ironically I was laughing at a Flat Earth video the other day that was using the same music. I don't think the poor lamb was aware of this.
  19. The word you are looking for is probably "Minty".
  20. Personally that rig looks a tad unwieldy. Have you considered a shedload of batteries instead?
  21. My ex father in law used to go back to St Kitts once a year and always brought me a bottle of the local white rum back. Nearest thing I've ever tried to a Gargle Blaster.
  22. Some of us have different ways of ingesting the beast. Not recommended as a performance enhancer though.
  23. We went away for a relaxing few days in September, nice little place a couple of pleasant eateries etc. I picked up the wrong laptop and spent the next few days edgier than a terminal nicotine addict on a long haul flight. It was the inability to play rather than the need to if you get my drift. Eeek a fellow bote skipper. Which servers do you play on, i'll keep an eye out as I play on EU with a sideline of NA. IGN same as here.
  24. Aaaaaargh! We're falling towards the hotfix event horizon Captain!
