I want to know how many of you have tried to create Kessler Syndrome around Kerbin/the Mun/etc. I'm currently trying this myself, and if you guys have any screenshots to share or a save file with KS, then please, send it our way

Yeah, it's as close to multiplayer as KSP gets. This is an extra challenge so we can do our own mission control thing. I can't explain it any more clearly than i did in the original post. Join the hamachi network and we'll get set up.

How it works Telemachus allows one to connect to one KSP game via any device on a single network. I have figured out that Hamachi creates networks. I have tested Telemachus with Hamachi, and controlling one KSP game over the internet is entirely possible and happens flawlessly. So my idea is that we get together on Hamachi and form mission control as an extra challenge. One person will be limited in their role in the launch of a spacecraft. One person could handle the basic flight control (throttle, staging, etc), while another could handle Mechjeb's Smart A.S.S for controlling the direction of the craft. Both the basic flight control and Smart A.S.S people will be extremely important. If you're interested, you need to meet certain requirements. You need previous experience with Telemachus, and you will definitely need good timing, and plenty of experience with KSP. Finally, you will need Skype and a microphone so we can effectively communicate and make this work. Of course, we will be in a group call on Skype and I will share my screen with everyone on the Hamachi network so everyone can watch the launch. This is not meant to be easy. Now, onto the good part. When you feel you're ready to fly, join my Hamachi network (kspaceprogram, pass: ksptest). Since Hamachi only lets 5 people on a network at a time, we have space for only 3 people (I already have a friend in the network). Once again, the network information is: kspaceprogram ksptest When we're filled up, I will tell you all that we're at capacity.

Fun fact, guys: The way telemachus is set up, you can access the telemachus webpage from ANYWHERE in your network without further modification. I want to see if I can modify the source code slightly so it binds to a different port. That way, I can forward said port and use Telemachus via an external IP (That way, even other people can use my Telemachus!). EDIT: After giving the previous posts the most cursory of glances, it turns out that someone already mentioned what I said about how Telemachus is set up before I posted. Still, I want to see if I can get it working using an external IP.

Granted, but you die just before I'm able to grant your wish. I wish to be in Joolar orbit.

Dude, that ain't an interplanetary rocket. That's what Jeb thinks an FTL drive should look like.

Jeb has a strange thing going on where for as long as hes smiling, the crew has a chance of survival. If not, then someone strapped on one too many NERVAs.

Quick answer to your question: Nuclear propulsion -> radiation all throughout our atmosphere and space -> lots of people get cancer Do you really want that? Besides, nuclear rocket engines have already been invented.

Hm.... not bad

All that I can figure is that with Laythe's atmosphere and sheer distance from Kerbol... I would say that Laythe's oceans must be something other than water... but it could easily be water if tidal forces create internal heat that supplements Kerbol's energy. It is simply too far from the habitable zone to sustain liquid water off of Kerbol's light alone.

Zapy, this in itself is off-topic, but please, try to use better grammar, for the sake of the people reading it so they can understand more easily.

I think the EVA configuration could just be part of the game's engine, which couldn't be modified without tearing it all apart and loading your computer with useless source code. I wouldn't try.

What you need is to come up with a noun that reminds you of your craft. For example, you design a spaceplane that can break Mach 2 at sea level. Call it Falcon.

I have developed a plane with a cargo bay using Damned Robotics. It needs a warpable docking clamp, however, and I don't have that mod.

Not actual orbit. That's just a straight launch You can tell by his prograde being almost straight up He's gonna crash.

That's what I was going for

Seriously, you guys better freaking grow the hell up. I am sick of people saying "Oh, why what about the children!?", Shut up, because if every special interest group gets what they want, KSP will become dry and boring because the next thing you'll want is for the explosions to be removed because "It implies death" and therefore "Is not good for the children!" If you don't want it in there, then too bad, the devs have enough to worry about. Don't play the game if you find it offensive. Simple as that. EDIT Kid's don't play this game. Tell me the last time you saw an 8 year old boy who can understand orbital mechanics. If there is a kid who can, then he/she is obviously smart enough not to use the word just because they saw it.

I highly disagree with Lesarthois. When something breaks, it, by definition, loses functionality or becomes useless When something BRAKES, then it performs an action to slow itself down.

And I thought Jool was huge!!! (Looking at v2)

The official abbreviations: Meters - m Miles - mi Not to be a jerk, but get it right.

Gas giants generally have atmospheres so dense that they not only contribute a significant portion of their gravity, but also crush spacecraft with the high pressure.

This is how Jool was formed, as Kerbal Space Program takes place several billions of years after Earth becomes uninhabitable... A long time ago... In a galaxy far far away... in the Milky Way galaxy... Humanity leaves Earth after a good 100 million years of civilization. Seven motherships, making up a combined total of half of Earth's metallic mass and a quarter of its core leave the Earth to flee the dying sun. After considering their options, one mothership was designated a scout... It was sent to the Andromeda galaxy; known by the Kerbals as the Kerbomeda galaxy. However, with a tenth of the trip left, the mothership's ion engines could not recharge due to the absence of stars outside of galaxies. They drifted through space for hundreds of years. Fortunately, the advanced-technology closed ecosystem provided improvised life support for everyone on board. The ship floated to a red dwarf star near the center of the Andromeda galaxy. The humans orbited the star to recharge, until a scientist in the on board observatory discovered a habitable planet near the star. The waste produced during the hundreds of years that the humans have been drifting through space was jetissoned near the outer edge of Kerbol's SOI. Unknown to the humans, the planet already had a humanoid species dominating a planet, but the waste pooled into a planetoid and when they intercepted, the ship was destroyed, exploding in all directions. The radioactive isotopes were released into space, which clumped with the planetoid and the crashed ship. The gases released by the decomposing waste (Which was mixed with an oxidizer so it could decompose in space) created a vaguely green atmosphere, and the radioactive isotopes gave the planet a heated core and made the atmosphere greener. The heat caused the planet to swell up into a gas giant. Space debris drifted into Jool's SOI and became captured, becoming its moons. The radiation released by Jool has given Kerbals unusual properties, making them intelligent enough for basic space travel and green almost overnight, hence the only structures on Kerbin being the space center. In an unrelated incident, Kerbals instantly became asexual and all females died out.

Jeb Kerboom, please consider getting Steam from steampowered.com. Hear me out. With steam, we can have a steam group for Kerbal Airways so we can assign missions, post reports, etc THERE. By the way... Millst0ne Mk II has Steam.

Exact same process. Except with an Ike sized object.

I know Kerbolar Eclipse sounds weird, but it is technically correct. Solar Eclipse - (Sol)ar Eclipse Sol is the name of our particular sun in OUR stellar system therefore (Kerbol)ar Eclipse Sorry if it was a bit wordy. Anyway... Post screenies of cool Kerbolar eclipses you've seen. Sorry for the small size. [ATTACH=CONFIG]33690[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]33691[/ATTACH]
