tntristan12 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 In all seriousness, I would like more anomalies like the Duna SSTV signal which hint at the existence of aliens either currently, or in the long-forgotten past. I think it would make for an excellent series of contracts to find and study all of the signs of this long-forgotten civilization to try to learn about them. Bonus points if we discover that these aliens are pink, hairy beings that live(d?) in a far away galaxy where planets are far less dense and much, much larger.

Canopus Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 YES! I found this while attempting to land a spaceplane on Duna. Everyone I've talked to has never seen it before I have no idea how it happened. I saw a rocket taking off from the surface of Duna while flying the spaceplane in the atmosphere close to the ground. It's definitely not debris from my ship, 1. because all the debris is still orbiting the sun and 2. because the "rocket" is not labeled as debris, with the gray reticule and distance measurement. I followed it as best I could and the exhaust reacted the same way as a player's rocket's exhaust would, so it was definitely a rocket. At the top of the exhaust I can see a darker, gray-greenish rocket-shaped object that appears to be emitting the exhaust. After reverting back to my quicksave I went to the same spot and indeed the exact same thing happened. However, there is no base or space port place it came from. It just takes off. This is only the 2nd time I've been to Duna, and the first was a probe pod that was not capable of leaving the atmosphere and also had no fuel left, and was on the opposite side of the planet. This rocket appeared to travel quickly to the upper atmosphere, and arced into what seemed to be an orbit, and then the exhaust cut off and I couldn't find the object anymore. Maybe it became one of those unidentified objects? I have no idea but this was very weird.http://s28.postimg.org/gbjh5dong/weird.jpgI always wondered how long it would be until someone tries to establish KSP's very own Herobrine.

Torquemadus Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I've heard that the Kerbal universe contains a race of beings so unbelievably primitive that they still think that "smart phones" are a really neat idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcasey14 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I'm not kidding. I knew there would be people like this but I'm being serious. That's a screenshot, I don't have photoshop on my computer, only GIMP 2 (I'll admit that) but all this is is an untouched screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I believe what you're seeing is an occasional Unity graphics glitch that places the smoke from your own engines ahead of your ship rather than behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcasey14 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) 7/10 - I've seen worse photoshops.Well you must be pretty bad at spotting photoshopping because this wasn't photoshopped. This is a legitimate screenshot, not joking. I'm legitimately wondering if anyone has seen this before.I don't think so because I wasn't throttled up at all, and the exhaust acted exactly like a rocket taking off like it would on Kerbal, except much faster due to Duna's lower gravity.Yeah I've seen that, but the reason i brought this here was because of the way it actually moved like a rocket entering orbit, and I was throttled down all the way. My plane was moving fast, but was decelerating quickly, also the exhaust, once I got closer, didn't move with the plane as that glitch tends to, at least when I've encountered it. The object stayed in the same place relative to where it was launching, so I could get closer, but eventually the exhaust cut off as if it ran out of fuel.

Random Tank Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 *sniff sniff* Hmmm I think I detect a slight smell coming from this thread... *sniff sniff* Now what is it? *sniff sniff* *sniff sniff* Hmmm...

Thomas988 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Yeah...I have no idea what we're even discussing here. There are no aliens in KSP whatsoever. Any claims otherwise are easily debunked by the "smoke appears ahead of craft" glitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
