  1. Pre-release is over, 1.1 is released. Check the Store or perhaps restart STEAM if it hasn't showed up for you yet. If you were a pre-release tester, be sure you opt back out of the pre-release branch and redownload.
  2. Too late now when the announcement is already up on STEAM with a discount attached.
  3. I know it's OT and such, but I have the same issue with Google's Chrome browser as well.
  4. @linuxgurugamer It also allows you to move the navball around the UI (left to right on the bottom of the screen). That, moreso than the scaling, was what I personally used this mod for; that and the ghosted nodes that were made available before SQUAD added the extra nodes to the navball.
  5. I wanna see the pics that are on that dudes camera now!
  6. I assume he means washed off. "Some of the soot was washed off, not sure how bad that could be taking into account it was washed off by seawater"
  7. Elsbeth III, F9-23, and the other assorted support ships returned to Port Canaveral early this AM (Eastern Time). A couple images: http://imgur.com/4njELVY http://imgur.com/qIe1DNd
  8. I think he later revised the statement to June or July. He stated that the May date may have been a bit too ambitious as far as flight re-certification, etc...
  9. If I got a nickel every time I mis-remembered something, I'd be a millionaire! No worries 5th.
  10. I thought the TELESCOPE was the only part of Asteroid Day NOT now in stock...thought the antenna was coming over. Edit: Just checked...the HG-55 is now STOCK. Just the telescope is missing from Asteroid Day.
  11. Pretty sure the poem thing was for Devnote Tuesdays, not every Daily Kerbal post.
  12. @linuxgurugamer I have a very small bug to report with the 1.1 pre-release version. It doesn't handle the UI scaling very well. On my 1920x1080 resolution, if I scale the UI down at all, the icons / numbers remain in their original positions so they're offset from the "button" they are supposed to be sitting inside.
  13. @Kerbart, you might want to check the Month and Day today...
  14. You are most welcome @parv kerman
  15. KerbalKon is a yearly "convention" that the devs have done a few years in a row now...not sure if they have one planned for this year or not, however. They usually stream live on Twitch for most of the day, play KSP, show off upcoming content, visit with fans & answer questions, etc... Here is the forum post for KerbalKon 2013:
  16. Completely understandable...anything coming from a moderator just HAS to be a SQUAD-based announcement, right?!? /end sarcasm
  17. Would it be presumptuous to assume suspect or posit STEAM users will get their hands on a "prerelease" testing version of 1.1 this week or next? Usually (judging by releases since .21 when I started following/playing KSP) the media team streams start the weekend before "release" (or STEAM "prerelease" testing perhaps in this case).
  18. It's 4:00 PM Central Daylight Time on Tuesday for SQUAD...they've got some time yet.
  19. Thanks Felbourn, I learned something in that video! No clue they had to fill out a customs form when they returned...ridiculous red tape to the extreme!
  20. Congrats Das, great get for both your channel and KSP in general!
  21. I just checked this entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_subsidies And scrolled down to United States and found this: Which shows me that in the present (last 3 - 5 years), we've (U.S.) been spending a larger percent of subsidies on renewable energy and energy efficiency. Then I read a bit further down and find this: Which tells me that the trend I was seeing the previous data was something of a recent event and the 'apparent' renewable fuel subsidy that was given in the past was related to corn-based ethanol production (a net loser in the long run, but a money-maker for the ethanol gas companies). Then take into account (in the US at least) the permanent subsidies that are built in to the tax codes for things like oil and coal. When coal was a start-up industry (in the U.S.) in the late 1700s, it was given tax-free status, smelting was given incentives, and competing old-world coal imports were taxed at 10 percent. Four centuries later, coal is still receiving $5 billion in incentives a year. The result is coal-fired electricity at about US $0.04 per kilowatt-hour (when burned in power plants that are already built, the costs of which have already been passed along to ratepayers). Meanwhile, solar, wind and renewable energies get things like start/stop subsidies that need to be renewed yearly or every few years on average. This uncertainty drives markets higher because they never know if the support will be there in the future (uncertainty). Another example would be the electric car market and what Cheverolet <link to IMDB - Who killed the electric car> did to the electric car way back in the 90's. That in itself was one of the biggest subsidies the oil companies could ever get!
  22. I would challenge you to actually dig in and see how much the government "funds" Oil & Fossil Fuels on a yearly basis. The amount of money put into the solar energy market by the government is a pittance compared to the giveaways that occur to big fossil fuels every single day.
  23. I believe that was a limited time offer and happened right around the time that KSP was made available on STEAM (so like .20-.21 range IIRC). E: Also, congrats on the move to experimentals SQUAD! Good luck squashing them bugs!
