@Lewie I think I can handle it, I enjoy the challenge of rescuing. But thanks for the offer.

I escaped Kerbins SOI for the first time last night, which is all fine and dandy except it wasn't intentional, and there are three kerbals on board, and they're out of fuel... Also two of the kerbals are recent Mun rescues, which need to be returned to Kerbin to complete several contracts. What happened was I ran out of fuel in Mun orbit, so I figured I could get them home with the RCS thrusters. I got an escape from the Mun and started burning at Kerbin apoapsis to renter. At this point I took the only screenshot I thought to take during the whole operation. Shortly after taking that screenshot I was recaptured by the Mun and slingshot out the Kerbin system. Aparently while slowing down to renter at Kerbin, the Mun caught up to me and I ended up in a very strange gravity assist, and RCS thrusters aren't known as the strongest sources of thrust in the game. I was unable to get out of the gravity assist and now they are in orbit around the sun.

Technically it was last night, but I landed on the mun for the first time in my career save. However things were not all sunshine and rainbows. I over estimated the TWR of my lander and found myself about 6000 meters off the muns surface, going about 250 M/S strait down with no chance of stopping in time. I jettisoned the drop tanks on the side to get rid of as much weight as possible, but we still impacted the ground at around 70 M/S or so. But for some reason Jeb, Bill, and Bob were spared imminent death and the lander just bounced. The only reason that I can think of why the terrier engine which has a impact tolerance of 7 M/S didn't explode is that maybe, by some stroke of luck, the shockwaves of the exploding drop tanks below somehow cushioned the impact enough to stop the whole thing from exploding. Note that the landing legs are on the side tanks, which were jettisoned before landing. The part that somehow didn't explode. What the plaque at the crash landing sight reads. (Ignore my inability to spell we're )

I bound the hat switch on my joystick to the camera movement. I have to invert the controls but aside from that every thing works great in external view, but when I switch to internal view the controls are inverted. If I turn off invert controls in the settings, internal view works but the external view is inverted. I looked around in the settings some and I don't see a separate setting for internal view camera controls. Is there any way for me to make it so both cameras are the same?

Saw the mundust castle in the main menu for the first time.

I got the biggest capsule, put the biggest fuel fuel tank I could find on it, and strapped the biggest engine I could find onto that.

Recently I decided it was time to send up the first module for a minmus mining base. I was in a hurry, so I just grabbed a premade booster from the subassembly list and launch, not bothering to check if the upper stage was made for a heavy crew module. Everything was great until the transfer burn, the transfer stage used a wolfhound, so the transfer burn was like 2 minutes and 30 seconds long. Since I’m impatient, I desided to use the capture stage to finish the burn, to speed things up a bit. Capture stage quickly ran out of fuel, leaving me to wonder if I could finish the transfer, capture at minmus, and land all with the 4 landing boosters on the sides of the base module. Only one way to find out, I pressed space to jettison the empty capture stage and ignite the landing boosters, then for some unknown reason, I pressed space again. I watched as the landing boosters flew off like missiles. Then I rage quit.

Maybe the scepter is the power source, and the münstones draw their power from it. In the interlude from Whispers I mentioned before, the münstone seemed to be drawing power from the scepter.

In the Interlude: Whispers of the Past, Shadows of the Future in Whispers of the Kraken, there is a relationship between the Empress’s münstone and a scepter. At the end of Whispers, Val has her münstone with her in the capsule. But as far as I know, Val’s münstone has not been mentioned in Revelations of the Kraken. Maybe she still has it, and could have the same powers as the Empress and Roland?

My first rocket in the demo was a mk1 pod with a rt5 and parachute on the same stage. Then I spent the next few days trying to get to orbit. The most I ever achieved in the demo was a mun flyby that condemed Jeb to a highly elliptical orbit in an EVAsuit that was out of propellant. When I got the full version, the first thing I did was get the biggest engine, and put it on a orange tank with a mk1-3 command pod on top. After some time playing KSP, I ended up deleting it for a while, returning in 1.1.3.

Have you tried deactivating Physics Range Extender? I’ve had trouble with it causing things to shake.

I was wondering if it might be something with PRE, I’ll reinstall it and see if it fixes the problem.

I'm having satellites accelerating to escape velocity when I'm not focused on them. It seems to happen when I time warp, but I'm mot sure. This has happened multiple times, and all the satellites affected originate from the same craft. Not that the engines are turned off: This is the orbit after it glitched: I have BDA continued, vessel mover, and physics range extender installed.

Does this qualify as "landed"? For some reason my minmus rover was teleported underground when I crashed a spent stage.

@Dman979 The circled buttons both lead to the home page. This is on mobile.

I’m on mobile right now, I’ll post a picture soon.

why are there two buttons that take you to the home page?

For some reason I was unable to log in on mobile, But after three tries it worked. It was giving this error code: 2s119/1.

Stock probably around 10 minutes. When I had lots of mods it was almost always over 15 minutes, sometimes nearly 30. Ya, I have a terrible computer.

Beautiful chapter! Can’t wait for the next one!

Ok,looks like I didn’t read the rules good enough, sorry.

Why do I sometimes see odd symbols on old posts? … 

What I meant was to do one long burn at low throttle, rather than a short full throttle burn.

If you slow the burn down and point raidial in several kilometers down rang from the launch sight, you might be able to move the periapses enough to hit the target. Because of my poor piloting in my attempt I was on an escape trajectory far before I would have been close to the target.

So if I have them removed I won’t be able to change my name again?
