  1. Does this thing dock the ship only on the same docking port while tracking or does it choose any free docking port on the station? I'm just wondering if I need to keep a docking port free for refueling missions all the time or if I could extend the station and add new docking ports without any problems

    This.

    I would also like to know what the deal is on this front. I have a few ships that I use to resupply my station, but I don't/can't always use the same docking port for the missions.

  2. The model for the Kerbal is not stored as a 'part' or in any of the folders you will find in the download (at least to the best of my knowledge), It is compiled as part of the game, so you will need a program like ninja ripper to get to them.

  3. Hey, this is something that has been bugging me for an age but I haven't got round to mentioning it till now. When I go into map view and my engine is firing, not only does the volume of the engine SFX change (as if i'm changing throttle) but it also pans from one ear to another in a very weird way when the map camera is moved.

    I'm pretty sure everyone has come across this issue (I think I've heard it in many a youtube video), but I would just like to bring it up and see if there is a fix I am just ignorant of.

    Cheers.

    (Ps. I get this on both my Mac and PC)

  4. I've spent some time away from the forums. I usually check up on them every couple of days, but recently I have not been so vigilant and have been spending my time in other game communities.

    Ive just checked in again and have realised that this is actually one of the best game communities out there. Seriously.

    You should all be given a cookie, a hug and moar boosterz.

    Thanks for being epic everyone!

  5. Saw it in Imax today. It's a good watch, no massive bugging physics things like in Gravity. The end of it plays with the idea of "what is in the centre of a black hole" and, because nobody really knows, I am not going to judge what it shows (I'm purposefully being vague so as to avoid spoilers).

    You can really see a lot of 2001 in it (there is even a wee reference to it in the film), but it doesn't quite hit that spot that makes a movie great like 2001 did.

  6. So I've been randomly scanning through the dev blogs and found an interesting similarity in the opening of each dev blog before an update.

    Before 0.23.5:

    Felipe (HarvesteR): Testing continues for the ARM patch, the test team has been at it non-stop even while we were at the GDC, and while I was expecting to be greeted by a wall of bugs, what I found instead were a few very well documented issues which we managed to fix very quickly, mainly due to the thoroughness of the documentation about them. Props to the test team for that! Today we’re still ironing out some details, but all in all, things are coming together nicely.
    And so on

    Before 0.24:

    Felipe (HarvesteR): Quite a lot of stuff done this week. Experimentals is moving along at a good pace, many bugs found and squished so far, but even more valuable this time was the excellent feedback the experimental team is giving us.
    And so on

    Last dev notes:

    Experimentals continue at a solid pace, bugs are being squashed left and right, and things are moving along nicely
    And so on

    Basically it looks like every dev blog before an update harv tends to talk about 'bug squishing' and how handy the experimentals team is.

    This weeks dev blog was similar in its opening to that of the last two... What does this mean? is 0.25 just around the corner? is half life 3 confirmed? are the iluminate everywhere? Am I just mad?

    Who knows.

    Perhaps its nothing but a similarity in Harvs writing style. None the less, I thought it was interesting. :P

  7. I'd definitely be interested in seeing a documentary on the subject. Like regex said, though, it would need to be an impartial look at the game and its development for it to be interesting - fan service is great and all, but not what I would pay money to see. What I'm very interested in is the way that the game has influenced learning about physics and orbital mechanics (with some focus on KerbalEdu). I would also be interested in hearing about the interactions with NASA, and what influence on general space awareness that game may have.

    I don't want to make a fan service video. I think that an impartial look at KSP and its inspirations, development and effects is the only good way to make this an interesting and honest documentary. I love the idea of not only looking at the development of KSP but also examining the impact it has had (whether that be an increased awareness of all things spacey or something else). I think the effects of the game are just as important, if not more so than the game itself.

  8. Huh... does a medical student learning to be a doctor call himself a doctor? Or is he a doctor once he finishes his studying?

    Haha, I'm just buggin! Sounds awesome, and something I would watch!

    Cheers man. :D Originally I had something else in there, it made more sense but a mod took it out, so now it sounds weird! XD

  9. We haven't seen anything that you have filmed before so how could we make a decision? I understand that you would include more information on a kickstarter page or whatever, but it wouldn't hurt to have a link to something you have already done in your thread for us here to see.

    You have a good point! I shall collect some of my previous work and that of the guys i will be working with and add it to the first post :D

  10. Hey folks!

    My name is Luke and I’m a filmmaker… So I’m studying filmmaking, I’m in my last year and with that comes the lovely situation of my final project. Personally, I would like to create a documentary, and with my overpowering love for KSP, I’m considering KSP as the focus for this documentary. Obviously if I were to go ahead with this I would want to do the best job possible, hopefully getting interviews with the developers, players, the media team and so on. It would cover the early days of KSP all the way through to whats going on now and the hopes for its future. (Please note that this isn't everything that would go into the documentary, Its just what i can think of right now)

    As you can imagine, I don’t want to devote a year of work to this project if nobody is really interested, so I’d like to know if you guys would be interested in a documentary of this nature!

    You might have noticed that the poll at the top mentions moneyz. Obviously if I’m going to be filming this & going off to interviews with a crew etc., money is going to need to come from somewhere. I’m going to put in a large portion of it myself (its my project and I feel obligated) but that almost certainly wont be enough. To solve this issue I’m considering turning to a crowd funding platform. This would allow you guys to get behind the project while also getting some goodies in return. So please say if you would be up for backing this kind of thing!

    Please give me your thoughts on this matter! (It actually matters to me)

    A music video my cameraman worked on. He will be the cinematographer for this project (so you can expect the cinematography to be as good, if not better than this)

    A short documentary on the Scottish independence referendum. I had a different guy working the camera on this one. I produced this and put together a wee team to walk the streets of Glasgow and ask questions with me.

    This one is a music video I directed, edited and did all the motion graphics etc. I will never be using this camera guy again... he was pretty much the worst guy I could have picked. Because of this, all the live action stuff looks like crap. Please ignore that. :)

    The rest of the videos are short (and I mean really short) VFX clips that I put together.

    You can also check out my youtube channel (link in signature), but most of it is just KSP lets play stuff, so only a few thing are relevant to this project.

    --UPDATE--

    From what I'm seeing, most of you guys would like to see this documentary, but only some would want to back a crowd funding campaign. If you would support a crowd funding campaign, what would you like to see as part of the documentary? Are there any areas of KSP, its development and its influence that you have a special urge to learn about? And what sort of things would you like to see as perks for your support? (Besides credit and a copy of the documentary)
