NASI Director

I would love to test fly it, but it's more of a matter of how big the explosion of my computer will be when I open it. (I can only handle about 150 parts well, and about 300 parts depending on how bad I want it.)

Ditto. (10chars)

I think it just depends on your own naming scheme. I use star names for me. Like Alpha Centauri was a satellite at an 45 degree orbit. Sirius was the name of its launch vehicle. Later I used random names like my 2nd spacestation was KerOSEL, for KERbin Orbital Science & Exploratory Lab.

This was my SkyE Lab. At its peak it had about 4 different modules attached to it. In the picture it only has the Soi Ooze attached to it showcasing one of the bugs. This is the KerOSEL, the KERbin Orbital Science & Exploratory Lab. The image is a bit dark though and you might be able see my Soi Ooze 7K-LOK docked to it.

Unfortunately, that's the same thing Mulbin told me. I will have to continue trying to fix it. Thanks a lot!

We all know why you came, so pictures first, then description! A BIIG thanks to Lojik for helping me figure out how to place an album in the post! The real Soyuz 7K-LOK was designed with a greater goal in mind: to further science and- Just kidding. It was designed to beat the Americans to the moon. We here at NASI did the same thing. Except there was no "America," only the United Provinces States And Territories of The Federal Democratic Republic And Confederation of Kerbin. And we got there first. Anyway, the Soi Ooze 7K-LOK comes fully equipped with one Kerbal, enough snacks for 7 days, enough RCS to allow constant mishaps while docking, and over 1600m/s of dV to achieve a, but not limited to, Munar circularization burn with a lander, a burn to land back at Kerbin, a burn to get back into orbit around Kerbin, or several burns to achieve a Munar flyby. While there are some bugs, they are minor and can be fixed by a simple switch between the space center and back, or a simple restart depending on the bug you encounter*. Because of its patented Kerbal-In-A-Fuel-Tankâ„¢ clipping technology, there may come a time where you do not empty all of your fuel out of the command pod area. Because of silly safety regulations, it was required that we add something more than a single parachute to soften the landing. So we added some somewhat-controlled explosives, otherwise known as a Sepraton I. The MSRB (miniature solid rocket booster) is enough to slow down the landing from 10m/s to about 1-2m/s depending on how early or late you activate it. And if you need to, it is also capable of picking you up just in case you landed on that krabbit that had looked pretty tasty. *There are two bugs, one where the 1.) craft will not turn at all after undocking, and another where 2.) the craft will flex at the docking port. 1.) This can be remedied by restarting the game. 2.) This can be remedied by switching to the space center and then back again.

I did some work on a Soi Ooze LOK that I was working on that had the same problems. All in all, I fixed the pieces not separating, yet I'm going to have to work on the docking problem if I want this thing going anywhere near the Mun with a lander.

I thought it was awesome when I found this out a while back, which is what I use to test my gear to see if one set is lower or not.

"Ladies and Kerbals, I give you President Nikson Kerbal." "My fellow Kerbonians, fate has ordained that the Kerbal who went to the Mun to explore in peace will stay on the Mun to RIP in peace. This brave man, Halsy Kerman, knows that there is no hope for his recovery. But he also knows that there is hope for Kerbalkind in his sacrifice. This one kerbal is lying down his life in Kerbalkind's most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding. He will be mourned by his families and friends; he will be mourned by the people of the world; he will be mourned by a Mother Kerbin that dared to send one of her children into the unknown. In his exploration, he stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in his sacrifice, he binds more tightly the brotherhood of man. In ancient days, Kerbals looked at stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic Kerbals of flesh and snacks."

I've found it funny that now we actually care about our Kerbals now that it is actually recorded properly.

Funny thing, I actually did that exact thing later on. Except on top of the capsule there. Maybe I should replant them... Anyway, that's actually a Kerb-tacular idea! I'll escort myself out...

I was wondering, what song, if any, do you play at the imminent death of your Kerbals? As Bill was falling to the ocean because the parachutes ripped off, see: flexible docking ports that shouldn't flex I imagine he and his crew mate who was still in a perpetual orbit were saying their final goodbyes. After Bill died, I played Knockin' On Heaven's Door by Guns 'n Roses. Is it in bad taste? I would've played Come Fly With Me, but it was too upbeat. Anyway, Bill was my first casualty and deserved a great, cheesy, memorial.

Much like was already said, I... > Be me, opening KSP > Suddenly think of two things to do > Rummage around room for a coin to flip > For example: Heads: Munar flyby Tails: Make space station > Spend an hour in the VAB/SPH making the craft > Spend another 30 minutes designing the launch craft > MFW it doesn't work > MFW I just add more fuel tanks and it suddenly works > KSP physics, you so crazy.

Now updated to show the Soi Ooze TMA-K! Here are some reviews from the experts that we've gotten: "So spacious! The view is amazing!" -Jebediah Kerman "Extraordinary!" -Floating Pencil "Makes going into space bearable." Stowed-Away Baby Kraken "Finally." -Me "Yes! Yes! Yes!" -Totally-Not-Made-Up-and-Totally-Real-Person

Ladies and gentlemen, Kerbals and Krakens, I present to you (what I hope to be), the very first full Soyuz replica, the Soi Ooze*! Capable of docking**, orbital maneuvers, and even science***! It can separate into 3 sections, the orbital module, descent module, and the service module! Just like the real thing! It has about 700m/s of dV and over 300m/s of RCS for even the most imperfect docking! However, keep in mind that this is just the module, so the launch vehicle is sold separately****. Now, time for the mandatory screenshots of the magnificent beast that the Soi Ooze is! UPDATE!: The Soi Ooze is now updated to the TMA-K Series! The major difference being the little shroud cover thing at the end of the craft. Although this Soyuz can hold only one Kerbal, it can be modified to carry more, although clipping seats into the already over-clipped Soi Ooze would be pushing it to its limit. That last image is showcasing one of the known bugs and the space station you see with it is not for sale. KNOWN BUGS -Sometimes the orbital module doesn't detach completely from the descent module until the parachute is fully deployed. -When docking, the craft can sometimes flex 90 degrees. -After undocking, the craft is locked in a random direction permanently and cannot change attitude until the fuel tank over the capsule is broken. These bugs are a plague, so I must consult one of the highest authorities over spacecraft making: Mulbin. Mulbin, hear my plea! Look over the craft to help ease the bugs that plague my craft! I'll even throw in a funny pun with it! * That's how George Clooney pronounced it in the most awesome movie ever, Gravity. ** Look at bug number two above *** If you can load this in your career save then I don't think you need anymore science points. **** There is no launch vehicle Download

I bet N3X15 or aLeXmOrA or maybe even Harvester will be up all night ready to release the update to the forums and Steam if they already don't have an automated system.

I think he just put a ton of the fuel fuselages and flipped them upside down. Needless to say, it's more than enough fuel to get from point A to point B.

This is the most crude and ugly thing I've ever seen . Yet, it's so perfect and so usable. Who would've thought of using a closeable payload section like that?

If this is truly all stock, then I applaud you good sir.

Or will it? DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

What he said, but I'll explain it in a more in-depth approach: On the Soyuz for example, there are two parachutes: the first one (I'll reference it as A), that is attached to the second one (. So anyway, the Soyuz is on its merry little way, and deploys A-chute. A-chute is really small, no where near enough to slow down the Soyuz. However, it still creates drag and slows itself down, and since it's attached to the B-chute, it pulls it out in a straight line so the lines don't get tangled and so the parachute doesn't get all flipped over or ripped. So the B-chute deploys, along with A-chute, and the Soyuz gets to fall down safely. But because the Russians really care for their people, especially on submarines, they added some solid rocket motors to the bottom of the Soyuz to slow it down for a softer landing. TL;DR: Air resistance is a magnificent thing. EDIT: In KSP, from what I can tell, the parachutes deploy once you hit a certain amount of atmosphere, and even then only slow you down the further you go, hence why parachutes don't work well on Duna, but are OP on Eve.

That is a very complicated equation! I've used a much simpler one: deltaV = ln (M-full / M-empty) * 9.81 * Isp Where In: Natural Logarithm M-Full: Mass Full M-Empty : Mass Empty So, if you had a Command Pod Mk.1 (.8 tonnes), a FL-T100 Fuel Tank (0.5625 tonnes-f; 0.0625 tonnes-e), and a Rockomax 48-7S (0.1 tonnes; 300Isp-atm), then the equation would be: deltaV = In(1.4625 * 0.9625) * 9.81 * 300 So your deltaV would equal roughly 1006m/s. No need that rocket science mumbo-jumbo that Aeronaut posted!

Nooo!!11!111one!1oneone1! Post pictures nao!

If I may take a gander at this: The Sun does have an atmosphere, mostly helium and maybe some other stuff like hydrogen. There is also INTENSE wind from the heat. I remember also hearing something like the poles rotate faster than the equator because the Sun is all gas. But other than the wind, I'm not sure fusion has a sound. I know that atomic bombs use an uncontrolled fission reaction to make fusion occur to detonate, so I'd think it's comparable to a metric truck ton of Tsar Bombas going off at once, for the next couple billion years.

Just wait until you release your "mini" Munar Lander, only then will it then be your favorite. Or at least everyone else's anyway.
