  1. Futile or not, I shan't surrender. What do you take me for, French? 24
  2. Three shirts for £27. And like I saved money, I'll save this thread from the plussing menace. 11
  3. Just because I'm shopping doesn't mean I've been *taken away* from the thread. 10
  4. This is a key development. The "wing glitch" where you hit the VAB despite being nowhere near it is well known but this is the first time I've heard of someone seeing the VAB take damage. It may help pin down the bug.
  5. I recently spent a couple of days making a basic, single-seater spaceplane to get into LKO. Got there in the end, albeit only barely. I then knocked up a rocket SSTO with space for two Kerbals and the ability to land back on Kerbin in a fraction of the time. Though it's true that the rocket uses about four times as much fuel per Kerbal.
  6. Performance-wise what I'd expect for both realism and gameplay reasons is that at sea level it's not quite as good as the best atmo engines, while in vacuum it's not quite as good as the best vacuum engines. And go figure, that's pretty much what Squad have done! You can argue for minor tweaks but the basic idea is right.
  7. Hot on the success of my earlier Ghost 2 spaceplane, I decided to start the Goblin Program, targeting the same ultimate goal but with a vertical rocket approach. The first ship made a successful test flight. I'll keep working on both and really don't know which will triumph. The spaceplane's strength is its cross-range capability for precision landing, but the weakness is build time. The rockets are much quicker to design but precision landing them is an issue.
  8. Squad's* terms cannot bind any person who has never agreed to them. If I take some artwork licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0 and use that art in a KSP mod, the mod is "Adapted Material" and in turn bound by the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license. Copyright law let the original artist impose terms on the use of their work and Squad cannot override that. If Squad were to prohibit a mod being distributed in accordance with the CC-BY-SA 4.0 then such a mod simply cannot be distributed at all. (Unless either Squad or the original artist budges and offers new terms, of course.)*Actually it's not Squad at all, it's DEPORTED B.V. but that's another story. The same may apply to gameplay videos, it depends on whether they're considered "Adapted Material", whether they might fall under fair use, and so on. Older CC licenses explicitly refer to the right to "publicly perform" which I would think includes playing a game that features the material.
