OP, were you aware that water is one of the best combatants for radiation shielding? The media went crazy over Fukushima and people gobbled it up like candy, further reinforcing fear of nuclear power. The amount of actual radiation released by Fukushima is minute compared to Chernobyl. Most, if not all the radioactive material in Fukushima was in a protective shielding to protect against things like this.

I really don't think that would be the right way to handle it to be honest. Surely they could allow you to scan, mine, and convert in one update. What they could do, is add more options/ways to gain or convert the resources into something better per update.

Yep, the developers confirmed resources some time ago (near 0.19 or 0.18). They gave us some screenshots of how stuff would look, but changed their plans to move onto career mode and RnD matters. I just hope when they do add resources, it's as cool and in depth as the flowchart described.

Here are some of my favorites. Can't post them all of course. These are REALLY high resolution, so I recommend opening them in a new window to get the most out of them. Hope you guys enjoy!

I think you may be trying to land too fast OP. Try going for a very very shallow stall until you are down to about 30 m/s but still in the air. If you find yourself unable to do that, continue with your fast landings, but equip a set of retrofire thrusters to slow yourself on the ground.

Stop acting like getting attention on the forum is super imporant. Nobody likes talking to an attention whale, and nobody wants to be around one. It's as simple as that. Also yeah, don't post reaction images.

LOVE this kind of design. We need some more big meaty Kerbal hab modules, and telescopic non-pushout legs would be cool as well!

Pretty sure the whole craft just has a tacked on drag amount and just calculates with that. Don't bother with FAR really, because you can have a plate of panels and if you fill it with nosecones, it works flawlessly. I really hope squad fixes aerodynamics soon, I'm sick of having to design planes so insanely unrealistic just to get them off the ground.

Hey, I made one too! Forgot the cone though.

Trying to build replicas of satellites. LADEE was a pain with all those small components!

You really shouldn't post images that have just been applied a filter to. What would be cool however, is if you either drew/rendered/painted something like this and posted it. Filtered images are a little on the ehh side in originality.

Well, we aren't really sure of that for sure. Maybe there is life capable of living on the Moon, it's just somewhere out in deep space. If I misinterpreted your post, and you were referring to only KSP, then I agree fully. Aliens aren't planned.

Don't be too worried about little spiders creeping out from rocks. Those are the least of your worries. The chances that life could have formed on the Moon from well, rocks, is so minute it's impossible as far as we know. I would be more worried about my ascent engine failing or my suit getting a tear.

No problem with trying to be realistic in your art. Hope you didn't take anything negatively from my post, I really like these, and I'm just giving my thoughts as to how to make them better/fitting. Really enjoy your works.

I find this to be pretty hilarious, seeing as how the movie doesn't release for a whole month from now.

I like it but if you ask me the clouds differ too much from the sky color. They are almost a light gray in contrast to the dark blue/maybe purple(?) sky. I think the lighting should be toned down as well, to show off the volcano and the cloud setting better.

What movie is that from? I would imagine Gravity, but I don't remember seeing a fire extinguisher in any of the trailers. Is there a new one out?

A nice screenshot, but the Fan-Art forum is really a place for drawings, sketches, paintings, digital works and the like. I think this would be better suited in the "Show off Your Awesome KSP Screenshots!" thread in General Discussion.

If it were not buoyant anymore, it will just fall at terminal velocity. Something either is weighing it down or you have run into some odd bug.

The part itself may be too heavy for the water to support it. I remember a mod a long time ago that had varying weight parts that allowed you to submerge underwater. Seeing as how it's not falling, I'm guessing it still got the water check and is just too heavy to be buoyant on the water.

I've been with this game for a while, and I can say it's changed, at least for me. Back in 0.14 or lower, the game always gave me a sort of special, isolated feeling when landing on another body (especially Minmus). Now, it all feels busy, like you haven't done a planetary first or made some groundbreaking discovery. I still really like the game, but it's lost an aspect of the pazazz that I loved about it.

Those parts of from the KOSMOS pack. It's in the Addon Release Section of the KSP forums.

Try to time out your burn so your velocity reaches around 0 m/s before you hit the ground. That, and try to start your burn low, going down at 10 m/s from 40,000 meters is very very wasteful of fuel. Also, try going from a low orbit (around 5000 meters or so). Also in your initial burn, burn at max throttle and do not go down unless you are at your last moments of touchdown, as using the engine at it's strongest setting increases the bang for your buck, so the fuel isn't wasted.

I think you mean Titan II. @OP Nice work, never seen anything like this in the fan-works. I too am a fan of ortho/blueprint drawing.

If you start retracting them closer together whilst spinning, you can also simulate accretion!
