  1. I think I'm saying goodbye to modding KSP. ;.;

    Can't say whether or not I'll come back. I'm going to start modding other games like Skyrim and possibly EU4.

    See yah!

  2. T-9 days. The waning Gibbous moon is finally visible in the bright morning sky. Only about a third of a Lunar orbit before the big event!

  3. 2200 rep!

    Okay, that's a lot. I probably won't do any rep-reporting status updates until 3k, aka not until 2018.

      *Looks at their seven new posts, and the three Like this buttons I've just pressed.*

      You're welcome :wink:

  4. I just tested out some new features for Lich (PSR B1257+12) in IA-Revived, and it has turned out to be the most dangerous, physics-breaking, and suicidal object ever made for Kerbal Space Program. There is no leaving it - you have to travel up to 60,000 km/s just to leave. And if you dare venture close enough....cheats will not save you. There is no survival. Whether you have unbreakable joints or ignore max temperature on, your Kerbals have two fates in store: being abandoned in a system 1 trillion kilometers from home...or death. In IA-Revived, all these worlds are yours.

    Except Lich.

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS (and definitely don't send Kerbals here that you want back)

    Spoiler

    For those who want the actual facts, the gravity of this star is...uh...somewhere around 15 trillion gees. It's a really big number. The star is nearly 29,000 Kelvin (or well over 51,000 Fahrenheit). This is over five times hotter than Kerbol! In addition, the fastest speed I recorded was just under 400,000 km/s (1.33 c) and the highest gee-force was nearly 17,000 times that of Kerbin. In an eccentric orbit of 0.6 at about 8,400 km, it was enough to disintegrate my craft. Literally.

      I made that star system in another game. It was fun.

      BECAUSE SPACECRAFT BATTLE IN LOW SIRIUS B ORBIT WAS NOT ENOUGH!!!

  5. Two new potentially habitable planets! The first is a possible fourth planet of 82 G. Eridani, with about 10.26 times the mass of Earth orbiting every 331.41 days with a temperature around 249*K. Tagging @AndrewDrawsPrettyPictures.

    The next is AC 54 1646-46b, a 2.82 Me planet orbiting in the inner edge of the system's habitable zone. This was a star I planned to observe during the IRVEES program. And look at that - a reason to observe the star!

      '10.26 times the mass of Earth' Most likely a gas dwarf. To me, it's just one of those optimistic potentially habitable planets.

  6. The Red Dwarf Candidate Search (RDCS) over at Exoplanet Explorers may have just found a four-planet system, one candidate that could be potentially habitable. More on it tomorrow!

      Tidally locked planets can have surface liquid water much closer in to the star than it'd be if it's not tidally locked.

      The radiation is the real problem though. Is there any common gas that won't get stripped off by the solar wind?

  7. Happy Easter! Time to hunt some wabbits!

    (Let's see who can guess what I'm referencing here. Hint: It's a cartoon)

  8. You guys are going to LOVE tomorrow's edition of The Daily Roundup. I've got some interesting finds to report, some that are my best to date!

  9. I just found a star nearly 70 times the size of our Sun with at least 2-3 other stars in orbit around it, each of them several solar radii across.

    Universe, what the hell have you DONE?!
