The solid fuel chemist

@Jeb_Needs_A_ParachuteAs far as i am aware, i have the most recent versions of all mods and am on ksp version 1.12.1.3142, however all guns are broken and will not fire, their aimers being stuck wherever i turn the gun on or at the launch site, and no turrets will turn to follow any input, even radar slaving. the weapon manager says they have zero ammo despite the actual ammo count, but when i turn on ammo gauges it reads correctly, tested by draining half ammo in SPH. i also think i have the flares not working bug the other guy mentioned, and for clarity im using the multiplayer version of the mod as that has been recompiled for 1.12

@Just Jim i... im back. do you remember me?

Do you guys want a XKOM story?

Ah, but I am a clever one and put emergency intakes in all directions!

I want a limit. It may be a irrational guilt due to cheating or... Yea it's a irrational guilt due to cheating. Also if I shot down a plane and the engines spazzed in midair it won't kind of take away the coolness, ya'know ?

I don't know what your talking about.

Hi, So I was looking to build some sci-fi ships in the same league as Star Wars ships and I wanted them to have good thrust in atmo and out, but also be stupidly efficient, enough to have something the size of a x wing burn 4 rocket engines and still have fuel to get all the way across the solar system and participate in a sizable dogfight. But I looked at every Sci-fi engine mod I could find and they were all either huge or had some handicap like special fuels or pitiful thrust. Now to my request. I need a suite of engines that burn normal fuel and have thrust on par with stock engines, but have ridiculously low fuel consumption, enough to make every plane a SSTO and have interplanetary capabilitys. I'm fine with you copying stock models but please put them in a new tab if you do. PS. RCS ports too please.

You have taken your first steps into a much larger universe. May your rockets not flip, may you remember to bring ladders, and Godspeed.

Anyone else have the guardians of the galaxy theme playing in their head during that epic station heist?

if hyperedit is allowed, couldn't you just clip thru the planet at a unreasonable speed?

I step away from the forum for a few months and look at what happend. I need to leave more often.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/cgndg0996sqazp3/sub proto stock.craft?dl=0 ok here u go. please find a way to make this thing able to move.

that's a airplane plus cockpit and its the only mod on the vessel. u need me to remove it?

the sub is powered by a nuclear turbine that gives it infinite range. the blades are agustable so you can "switch gears" favoring torque or speed. in the rare event of turbine failure, kraken attack is certain so by popping the double fairing the turbine housing falls away and with it the krakening turbine of death. the crew can then pop the ballast and ascend away from the supersonic projectile reaction wheels and prop blades to the safety of the surface. if anyone thinks they can improve on this design (because this thing is literally the slowest boat EVER) i am eager to see what you have. (seriously, when its surfaced it moves sideways more than forward)

I made a launch vehicle that uses only one engine block (a cluster of atmo and vacuo engines) and has a probe core, RCS and a docking port so i can ditch the first stage fuel tank and re dock the engine block to the second stage fuel tank. this negates the need for a second stage engine which can act as a weak point and lead to flipping or RUD. The engine block is also reusable. it makes reusability a lot more easier because your not recovering the first stage while your second stage still needs to burn.

WE HAVE OFFICIALLY REACHED 2017 VIEWS!!!! thank you guys for all the support. I had no idea I could write something that people would actually like. (I actually checked and it said exactly 2017)

Chapter 17-Do Not Go Quiet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6SrvLA1tRE Bill fell faster and faster. artillery shells flew past him, some missing him narrowly. As Bill hit the upper atmosphere. he started to tumble violently until he settled in a back first formation. A few small reentry flames licked the edges of his wingsuit but did not do any damage due to a heat shield of nanobots. after the flames died down, there was nothing but quiet wind as Bill and the artillery shells both were reduced to terminal velocity, falling in synchronization. The wind went from a whisper to a roar as they hit the lower atmosphere and started to slow down in earnest, falling slower but still at very lethal speeds. The air pressure returned to normal levels, and Bills suit was able to keep up with the loss of pressure. He opened his eyes to find a 1 ton explosive shell hanging over his face. After getting his bearings, he pushed away from the shell and looked down to find the ground alarmingly close. He threw out his arms and almost pulled up in time. Almost. the spire of a skyscraper shredded the rear flap of his wingsuit and Bill tumbled head over heels. He almost lost consciousness a second time from g-forces and could barely see. he closed his eye and waited for the ground to meet him. But the nanobots did not give up so easily. They made rudimentary rocket nozzles and shoved themselves thru with incredible force. Bill decelerated just in time and hovered above the ground for a few seconds, and fell the last foot. The city fell quiet. The Eeleian navy had been driven off by the combined forced of the United Moons of Jool, and the day had been won.

HEY! LISTEN! MOAR STRUTS! edit-no one gets this?

or just hit him with this thing. even if it doesn't hit, you will still delete the universe.

amateurs.

chapter 16- a broken angel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTmE0x7J62Q (doing chapter names now instead of parts) Bills fingers few over the keyboard, knocking down firewalls and deleting whatever he could. One by one, the artillery batteries fell silent. The user interfaces of the screens on the bridge began to slowly deteriorate. Bill overloaded the life support systems in the ships data bank room and started a fire. The engines holding the ship above the city stopped burning. He was about to get at the communications software when the inner door of the airlock opened. Bill turned and raised his pistol. Standing there with a mad gleam in his eyes, a gyrojet combat shotgun in his hands, and a expression blank of all kermanity, was Anzer kerman, secondary engineer aboard the Zephyr and the leader of the now obvious Eelian coup. "you..." Anzer raised his shotgun Bill fired first. the bullet ripped thru the magazine of the shotgun and sent the cylindrical pushers flying all over the airlock, leaving a expanding cloud of razor shards. Bill kept his pistol trained on Anzer. "By krakens, what happened to you?" Anzer blinked multiple times, recovering from shell shock. "Space, Bill. This krakenforsaken empty void is what happened to me. Its ironic, isn't it? Space gave you a name, and now its going to kill you." Anzer lunged at Bill, and they both tumbled out of the airlock into space. Anzer was about to slam down on bills faceplate with the butt of his shotgun when Bill felt a sharp pain in his gut and was torn away from anzer by a unknown force. Bill looked down and saw air hissing from his suit, acting like a rocket and accelerating him towards laythe. Anzer had the same problem, he was just being trust back into the airlock. In the middle of the two, a bloody glinting razor shard from anzers shotgun that had become pinned between the two when anzer tackled Bill. The hissing was growing fainter, and Bills vision darker, until Bill Kerman slipped into unconsciousness. A broken angel, falling from the heavens.

a crossover could be feasible, but it would probably have to be 3 people or less, and it would be very slow to update. Just look at what happened to kollaborative warfare.

ahh, i use that island as a landing site for aborted shuttles.

wishing you best of luck with your cat, Jim. hope everything tuns out OK. not quite...(wait, how did you get in here again?) I did find a bunch of empty mason jars and a overturned car in the middle of the woods though. The weird part was that.....
