Nikolai Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Foxster said: Why is it a "uni-corn" and not a "uni-horn"? Cornu is Latin for "horn"; the word unicorn comes into English from the Old French. (Horn comes into English from Germanic roots, not Latin ones.) See also cornucopia, corner, Capricorn, and corn in English. Edited September 30, 2016 by Nikolai Added some other examples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProtoJeb21 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I've got to prepare for my Hype Train ticket. What I need to do is get a bunch of modding out of the way and create a copy of KSP 1.1.3. How long until 1.2 comes out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you used Kraken bones. Other bones, especially chickens, are known to have unpredictable results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedwyr Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Oh, btw. The reason I couldn't access the debug menu was because I had the new GeForce Experience installed and "share" was active. Alt+x controls are default key bindings and override the KSP controls. Disable share and its fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flx Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Differential steering of large wheels allows to easily speed up to 90m/s by applying it to one side after another. Was that always the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandaman Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Well, that's better than... 'Ahhh welcome back. We're sorry, but we failed to spot a minor bug in the 'Cryo-Thaw (tm)' software before release which means there's a chance that when you leave your 'Kraken 3 (tm) Cryo-capsule' you may turn into a cloud of dust. You will be pleased to know that we have fixed the issue for the next release, unfortunately though the patcher wasn't working so we couldn't update your version.'

peewee69 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Instead of getting into shape (and bruising me in the process), why don't you help me to work out how to increase the TWR of this painfully slow ferry?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge_slc Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Unless something goes south badly, my guess is that the ferry wil finally get to port next Tuesday... Otherwise the phrase "The wait is almost over" from last Tuesday would have been the worst overstatement ever... At this point we´ve already used all the delta V that we needed to and need to wait it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klgraham1013 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) October has turned into the month of gaming hype for me! Civ 6, Gwent, new KSP update! I know there's a few more but my brain is to overloaded to think! ...or maybe it's just the Gwent beta? Either way, lots of hype!

Scarecrow Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Thought I would download 1.2 pre-release to take a look, but it's not available for me. Originally bought KSP from the KSP store, and both the Linux and Mac 1.2 options in the store are selectable, but when I hover the mouse over the PC 1.2 button, it's not selectable. Anyone else experience this or is it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
