  1. Greetings, I will be updating my active live stream times and dates here, and whenever I am running the 'REAL' Kerbin Mission where Kerbals actually can, become paydirt...but we hope that dont happen and make every effort to prevent this - we still have yet to work on the safety mission training !!!!!!! I have started the 'Kerbin Mission' fan-works thread where I will be posting the mission story...and nice to say that music is part of it ! In fact, have you ever seen that Penguin movie (?)...what happy feet ... I have one Kerbal who is kind of a nut case, and I misplaced him...can you guess who it mite be? Well he wrote a suggestion to me, then promptly dissappeared...perhaps more info is in my fan-works thread...? Sometimes I play guitar and jam with some youtube toonz before going to Academy and running simulations; one of my ways to relax and have fun; sometimes I dont get to work on KSP (!); but it's all good and that's what counts! Updating - I will be doing up a stream to give a recap on the Kerbin Mission, what exactly Kerbin Academy is, and continuing on with...Safety Protocols tonite (!); along with more rocket building later probly: I will be on a little bit later; when I am ready I will be posting an update in the fan area !...I had great success with my roket designs so far, so progress is being made and I am really wanting to get some kind of a space station built in the real mission ! Check out my 'fan' posts for more information. (PS - I redid this thread cause I made a typo in the other one's title - ugh ! Cdr Zeta
  2. Howdi, I kinda didnt think this was available...then I tried a direct shot to Eve, or some other body, and had major problems; I couldnt even get out of Mun gravity; it was interfering. I will tell you that in most cases, to get the best flight..time; time needs to be on your side and added into the equations; by the looks of things it may take months to get out there (!); efficiently that is! I am tending to give up on the math...the manuver nodes are working quite nicely for me now... But I agree that calculations seem abit off; sometimes there is no choice and alot of efficiency is lost making for a one way trip. Set an outside focus to get max time warp; and watch the rotations of the bodies and plan accordingly; I will be doing this to study the 'sim-game'; I then plan each trajectory accordingly; Mun to Minmus seems to be my best bet; and there arent too many good conjunctions (for escape); maybe plan an escape depending on their positions and pick the planet that way; that gets you out sooner.

  3. Greetings, I will be updating my active live stream times and dates here, and whenever I am running the 'REAL' Kerbin Mission where Kerbals actually can, become paydirt...but we hope that dont happen and make every effort to prevent this - we still have yet to work on the safety mission training !!!!!!! For now the verious Kerbal engineers want to hoop it up and listen to musik...I play guitar and JAM to the various youtube and radio streams on a whim basis what you hear is what you get so yeah I do make a few booboos - but the Kerbals LUV IT ! So why not...sometimes you just gots to give your brain a rest... This would be generally off-topic; however I do try to stop playin at some point and get back to rocket design (!); although the first nite went 4 hours...straight! I like all kinds of music and may even take requests; but I get bored quickly too and may change songs on a whim; Kerbals dont like spur of the moment changes; they are a slow folk like me even. But after a good JAM...the rockets seem to fly higher ! I have started the 'Kerbin Mission' fan-works thread where I will be posting the mission story...and nice to say that music is part of it ! In fact, have you ever seen that Penguin movie (?)...what happy feet ... I have one Kerbal who is kind of a nut case, and I misplaced him...can you guess who it mite be? Well he wrote a suggestion to me, then promptly dissappeared...perhaps more info is in my fan-works thread...? So if you like good musik and want to relax b4 working on that special roket...visit: http://www.twitch.tv/cdr_zeta I will be on tonite...I had great success with my roket design so I need to work on that tonite while I think of it...later on !

  4. Greetings, In a communique delivered to me by my superiors (on Zeta Reticuli), word was recieved regarding a colony of 'aliens' on a planet called 'Kerbin'. In order to train them to better utilize their own and new space technologies, I was sent to 'Earth' to train myself. Records of such training include various aircraft flights, space simulator flights, and interplanetary space travel. New time-space continuum space warp technologies were delievered and 'Kerbin' was used as a destination. I have since traveled there and have created the Kerbin Academy of Space Simulated Sciences, where myself and several Kerbal Space Engineers train on simulators there. These simulations include various aspects of designing, building, and testing the various space ships used to teach the Kerbals space exploration. New communications bases and mission control centers are currently being built, and live video comms between Kerbin Mission Control and the various space ships in their system will be available soon. Whenever the 'REAL' Kerbin mission is active, I will make a notice here, and descirbe what is going on or about to happen. All live actions, simulations, and the real mission, will be sent live at: http://www.twitch.tv/cdr_zeta Currently, Jeb and Bill are stranded in the Kerbin woods ! Two weeks later, a rescue plane was designed, built, and tested, and is ready for deployment ! We dont know when the mission will resume; in the meantime, current research are rovers, lifters, and comms setups. Information regarding active streams will be listed in the general thread; ongoing story-line activities and progress will be made here. In the meantime, all live actions are 'SIMULATIONS'; but they are actual design, build, and test -in-progress on Kerbin; no 'real' actions are taken, unless otherwise noted in a new post here. I will however update the simulations goings on here, as it is more appropriate. This is the ongoing story of 'The Kerbin Mission' - an effort to help Kerbals explore their solar system.

  5. Howdi, Whew 4 hours of jammin guitar music last nite on my stream ! Well it's time to get the engineers out an crakkin...errr...not 'kraken'... I have a lifter rockt roll problem to be solved...will it happen !? I solved it once, but the second time...I dunno yet... http://www.twitch.tv/cdr_zeta Hope to see yas ! Cdr Zeta
  6. Howdi Space Engineers ! Before I work on my rocket problems, I am jammin tonite ! Hop on over to the party at: http://www.twitch.tv/cdr_zeta I may take requests ! I am havin a blast with KSP ! Sometimes tho I get brain freeze and need to unwind; this is how I unwind ! I will be jammin to available online videos, and I may try to stream a radio station and go totally adlib ! Watch it I may miss a few notes haha! Cdr Zeta
  7. Funny you should ask ! It is party time for me and the Kerbal Engineering Team on Kerbin ! Hop over and give a listen at: http://www.twitch.tv/cdr_zeta I may stream some radio music and play what ever comes along - on my guitar that is !! If I dont like the song or cant play it I will switch it to somethin else ! (I take requests !) Cdr Zeta
  8. Howdi ! Ya I an tending to get into the game - I play alot of flight simulator (FSX); well I used to before I found KSP. I am now setting up my stream at: http://www.twitch.tv/cdr_zeta Working on space planes; design, build, test...need to do some rover design attach to the plane as well. Cdr Zeta
  9. Hello, Well I didnt get too much into the specifics; I didnt know that atmosphere was available above 10,000KM; 70,000KM thats like 210,000 feet? I would have to look at that again and take my plane up there and recheck the attitude angles; I wonder if you have to have more wingspan up there to have stability; my plane's wingspan is small so it craps out around 10 - that may me 10km not 10,000km? Well up there anyways haha! Cdr Zeta
  10. Hello, Nice ! I thought why build space planes to go into space; they are for in the atmosphere...but you could have a space plane on a moon - IE still a rescue vehicle; or a transport. I also still go with as small as possible to get the job done. We only need enough fuel for a little over 1/2 an orbit; or maybe 1/3 with a base en route for refuel; but this may add risk; so there is a risk versus efficiency; and time; maybe we dont have alot of real time; a 1/4 or 1/3 orbit looks inviting..I never tought of adding the other fuel for a space portion; but why at 10,000km well I guess I didnt look at where space begins yet; just where the plane goes bonkers; havnt worked that problem yet. I should consider adding a rocket stage so I can get my range; the only problem is major risk and added weight on landing; I may opt for long range no-space for now and add rockets later; I been too long working on these planes; but I have made major progress and am a happy camper!

  11. Greetings From The Desk Of Cdr Zeta On Planet Kerbin: After many hours into the game over the past few weeks, I have been working on the space plane. All aspects of Kerbal Engineering are taken into account at Kerbin Academy and I am proud to present my livestream where I happen to be ironing out some of the various issues of building these necessary planes: http://www.twitch.tv/cdr_zeta Pay me a visit - I am on almost every nite and am working on a suitable rescue plane. I have or will be upgrading some of the various mods, and use mostly stock parts. The engines are in fact 'VERY' efficient, and have developed both a short and long range version. I have yet to add the orbital portion, and it 'MUST' be re-useable to be an effective rescue plane. The planes are mostly for moving parts to different bases, and exploration, and rescue operations for now. I will be adding a vehicle to my plane and am trying to work out some problems with getting this done. My planes are very flyable; have to use a gamepad or joystick and the game controller settings do just fine. I am also still working out balance issues. Good Luck (!) and hop on over ! I expect to be working on planes for a few more nites ! Cdr Zeta
  12. Hello, I have left out parts - forgetting to hit the number of items button...funny thing - wait I got a fail...I did this like 3 times launching - didnt look at the pre-launch - looked back only to see my plane falling apart on launch - hadnt a clue - then about the 4th time I looked at pre-launch and saw this: http://vncvw9.webs.com/badlau1.jpg (Sorry I dont know how else to add pictures except to add them to another site?) Cdr Zeta
  13. Howdi - This is a great game for me - gets my creativity stuff goin on. I am glad things with the forum and site got sorted out. I miss losing my post count AKA MrZeta AKA But the game goes on... PS: DOnt forget I am streaming live almost every nite - I cant get enough of this game ! http://www.twitch.tv/cdr_zeta In fact I am streaming tonite off and on...working on a rescue plane, rovers, some gorund ops...cant go to space without good safety and rescue procedures for the lil fella's - and gal Kerbals if there are any ! Cdr Zeta
  14. Greetings ! I use FFSPLIT which is a freeware - it does have some glitchyness and a short to medium learning curve - but basically I now stream almost every nite and this is about the ony game I am on now; and trust me I have several hundreds of hours in MMORPG's and am very active online. In fact I will be streming now very shortly: http://www.twitch.tv/cdr_zeta There are also others who stream; check them out; some are entertaining; some I dunno; you decide - that's the beauty of it. In fact I gleamed an idea last nite I need to dig into befreo I forget it... Good Luck And Happy Streaming ! Cdr Zeta
  15. Grats on producing a great game ! On the lines of Spore with creation etc... I am streaming this almost every night now! Cdr Zeta
  16. Howdi, I have started KSP a few weeks back after running the DEMO for awhile; realizing the great creative possibilities of KSP I decided to forge ahead, get the real 'game', and now I have devised the 'real' Kerbin Mission. In the process, I have created a website (which was already there using Flight Simulator), and added a space section. FSIM is fun to fly; but you cant fly the things you build; this is one of the few games where you can do this; and with the great awesome MODS; the limits are only yer imagination! I am on practivslly every nite not streaming live...but there's a catch to what I do in KSP ! For that you would have to get into my roleplay of it; and yes I do know there is a roleplay place; I am just not into anything that involves attacking things; our Kerbal Engineers are peaceful explorers and are located in a quiet secluded area of Kerbin. I am working on the story...basically - we have 1) Kerbin Academy - Simulations Design, Build, and Test and 2) The Kerbin Mission - Where graduates go out and can get hurt and take risks etc... My live streams are mostly of designing, building, and testing every aspect of KSP I can think of, then using them in the real missions. I am awaiting the return of the missions posting thread. I need to work on sending certain vids to Youtube for archival, and am working on better 'movie' productions concerning the various communications ongoing at Kerbin Academy and Kerbin. I will be going over everything i have learned so far some time this week once I get some simulations tests out of the way. My stream is located at: http://www.twitch.tv/cdr_zeta I am getting better at rendezvous, docking, lifter design, spaceplane (rescue) design, orbital transfer..these would be spoilers unless you already have a good idea on how to do them. If yer not too busy and want to chill, come visit the various TwitchTV streams (including mine every nite or so EST !) and dont forget Monday KSP-DEV sStreams ! Good Luck! Cdr Zeta
  17. Hello, Regarding old threads - Can you put the 'Mission Thread' back in the sticky I forgot where it was; not sure if it was in fanworks, but it was a thread to post actual mission information; like say I am ready to land on the Mun (I do simulation landings etc in simulation academy - but I have one 'REAL' ongoing mission where anything goes, and is more, 'REAL', where I would make a post as to what I was doing). Also I found this to be the best place to post a 'post-it' to let people know I was actively doing a live stream for the real mission I have going. I call this an event - I also do live streams every nite now just about - this game is drivin me batty (!) and at first I was not too sure if I could survive but the DEMOs got me hooked. I think the best reason is the many creative possibilities with KSP. So please give us 'live streamers' a place to post when we are up so we can breeze thru the list of activities, and the 'Mission Thread' where we can post our missions in progress. This could also have 'special, art, writing, video highlights as well. I plan to have one thread where I do all my posts in... (Edit: This shud probly be moved to 'Mind the old threads' ?) Thank you !! Cdr Zeta
