  1. when I was doing a mission with a craft without normal engines and just RCS systems and tried to do rendezvous, when I went to the map view to fine tune the encounter, Instead of thrusting forwards when I pressed RT I just spun around and had to scrap the mission, I don't know if this is a bug or if you just can't use docking mode on the map view but I'm pretty annoyed

    P.S. I was using linear not rotation in docking mode I'm pretty sure It's a problem with the map view

  2. now I don't mean improving the creatures themselves I more mean that we should give these guys more to do.

    we're already seeing them have inventories (sort of) but now I have a couple ideas for using these little guys for things like more useful EVAs, one Idea is "K-Struts" these would be smaller more fragile struts with limited range that kerbals can add on EVA to repair things or better fend off the Kraken, each pod or cockpit would have a limited transferable amount (perhaps the could be stored in the new storage bay that comes with Breaking Ground).By the way, i think EVA packs should work while on ladders.

    Does anyone else have any ideas on how to make Kerbals more useful

    You joke but now we actually CAN get things to orbit with 0 fuel usage.

    Granted we could do it before with decouplers but that was an edge case. now you can get as many (reasonable) m/s as you want with careful planning and execution.

    What about a bow and arrow?

    that, is an elasticity based projectile launching system, while Catapults use inertial energy to propel things things (like a seesaw or a person throwing something),

     a bowstring uses elastic energy to propel things (like snapping someone with a rubber band)

    a bow and arrow doesn't count because it uses a different system to propel things while all the examples of catapults do

     

    After that short physics rant I need something funny to clear my head, how about a CATapult
