    Who is this Glemyra you speak of? She cannot be found in any of the cosmonaut photos. Surely those have not been altered in any way... :rolleyes:

    Glemyra? Why, Glemyra is-

    These things were the bane of my existence in HSP (where I had SIX going at once at one point)

    Off the top of my head:

    Patience 2: The first one.

    Perpetuity: Basically, a giant space donut ring station around Minmus.

    Immutability: Perpetuity, but around Kerbin.

    Permanence: Perpetuity, but around Duna.

    Persistence: Perpetuity, but around the Mun.

    Endurance: Patience 1, but around Minmus.

  3. YES! YES! Hotaru is back! After HSP, this should be very interesting! *squee!* :D 

    Will follow this one for sure!

    Spoiler: stuff I did after HSP.

    Spoiler

    This may be the wrong post to tell you, but I made a comprehensive mission log detailing every single mission launched by the HSP. after it ended. Took me around a month of real time.

    Oh, I see what you did there. New Star. Very clever. :kiss:

  4. Well, you know what they always say...

    If at first you don't succeed....

    Spoiler: my prediction for the future timeline.

    Spoiler

    Y7 => Dauntless completes abort testing. Spider returns to operational service.

    Y8 => Comm satellites, first landings on Minmus. Retirement of the Intrepid. Dauntless enters service.

    Y9 => Minmus station. Valiant enters service.

    Y10 => Probes to Duna, Eve, and Dres.

    Y11 => First planned interplanetary missions.

    Y12-Y13 => Interplanetary testing.

    Y14 => First Kerbals on another planet (probably Duna).

    Y15+ => Probes to Jool and Eeloo.

     

  5. I'm just curious about this, but can a moderator change their own username? If I remember correctly, users are limited to 1 username change. But what about moderators?

    Can they change their usernames themselves, or do they need a Global Moderator to do that?

    As for Global Moderators, can they change their usernames as well?

    Sorry for all the questions.

    Spoiler: Slightly off-topic.

    @Geonovast, was your former profile quote from Ironic? I searched it up and found the lyrics ("10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.")

     

  6. Sorry to bother you, mods, but I would like to know if it's possible to change my username (via staff action), or otherwise.

    (The other option for me is to create a new account, but I'm not sure if that's permitted either. :/ Plus, I have 2 years of forum history on the Forums that I wouldn't like to lose for a new account.)

    If it is possible to change my username, do I ask here, or in another thread? Or do I just send a moderator a PM?

    How did Kerbalkind get so advanced before their first launch

    Obviously, there was another parallel universe called the "Space Program With No Name" or the Kerbals accessed the inner Source Code and modified it.

    We may never know. 

    But, @SBKerman, I made a little spreadsheet for you to keep track of crews and missions on your save. Feel free to use it however you like! (I'm following this thread, so I can update the spreadsheet whenever a new post comes in.)

    You're doing a great job! I love this, keep it up!

    Wow, I had no idea! And if you're the one who posted it, I'm honored

    OMG, Congrats @adsii1970!!!  :cool:

    "Gilti" as charged!

    :huh: *laughs internally at poor joke*. :huh: please don't delete the joke.

    No, but seriously, I was the one to make the TVTropes page. It took quite a few hours, but I'm up to Chapter 55. I should finish recapping all the events until Chapter 73 by today or tomorrow.

    uhh... what's a TVTrope? (I have no life sorry)

    TVTropes is a website that looks at popular works and explains what literary devices (tropes) they used. Hence the term TVTropes.

    light itself on fire

    That's scary! Were you OK?

    I don't have a recent backup of the save file.

    It's OK, you can look at the old images from the mission report and try to replicate them in a new thread if you have a new computer. Otherwise.... this thread had a long run, and it was nice to be able to follow these missions along with you.

    not the new stock delta-v indicator, it is one of the many data displays added by a mod called MechJeb. The stock delta-v indicators are the blue bars in the staging column, which, unlike MechJeb, have a tendency to be wildly inaccurate for anything but the simplest of rockets.

    Ah. Well, I have MechJeb, and I know what you mean by the delta-v indicator (the one in the VAB?).  Still a shame that it's inaccurate, though.

    If you have the Making History expansion, you can do something similar

    Yeah, I've been wanting to get MH ever since it came out, but I haven't had the time to do so. Maybe one day - although I definitely agree with you on the basis that MH can make for some sweet rockets, probes, and rovers.

    Look at real space probes for shape inspiration

    Good point. I used the Mariner probes for all of my previous career saves. (Creativity, what's that? I've never heard of it! :blush:) Although I have tried to be a little more creative in the save I'm starting now.

    visual enhancement mods are typically beyond the ability of my computer to run

    Try Sci-Fi Visual Enhancements by @panzer1b, it's designed to run on medium-end computers, despite the fact that it's bundled with EVE.

    Excited for more!

     

  11. This is on KSP 1.6.1, right? I love the new delta-v indicator! You can also install EVE and SVE/SVT to make the terrain prettier, or you can use Sci-Fi Visual Enhancements. Those new spacecraft look epic! I wish I had gone with your choice of probe design instead of the standard "slap instruments and a solar panel to the probe core" which I seem to use too much. Keep up the great work @septemberWaves!

    (EVE, SVE/SVT have not yet been updated since 1.4.2 - however, you can still install EVE and the SVT configs. It will work and it will beautify Kerbin by a LOT)

  12. Okay, slight changes. I'm not going to upgrade to 1.6 just yet, I'm going to stay in 1.5.1 for another month or so. I didn't get Spectra, but I was able to install EVE and SVE, resulting in a sweet-looking Kerbin. Here's the screenshot for you.

    (Ooh, pretty!)

    Everything else is pretty much the same - the modlist hasn't changed, except for me uninstalling Spectra. 

  13. I wanted to upgrade to 1.6 today, but my computer ran into some software issues. I'll try again tomorrow. The mod I want to have more than anything else is Spectra, because it makes the terrain so freakin' pretty. :0.0: I'll also see if I can copy over the suit packs and my ship saves. The last thing I want to do is replay another career run. (I've already done this once because the Kraken used my savefile for breakfast :huh:)
