    How would I increase the percentage of science gained from an experiment?

    This is not a loss due to distance: It is to give you an incentive to return the experiment to Kerbin intact.

    The amount of loss is determined by the nature of the experiment. (For comparison, if you take a crew report, you can transmit 100%.)

    However, if you can stay in place, you can repeat the experiment and transmit it several times - After a number of attempts, you will gather the same amount of Science as if you had recovered the experiment.

    Thank you very much for the answer! It seems to me that it's easier to just send a probe and queue up a bunch of experiments to get the science than it is to send a crew and get the ship back.

    When I want to transmit data back to Kerbin from Mun, I only get 20% of the science I could. I am assuming that this is because there is stuff in the way interfering with data transmission, such as the Mun's body or Kerbin's body.

    Would satellites acting as relay points fix this? I have enough in the proper locations to hypothetically give a good, unobstructed shot to the space center, but it's not working. How do I increase the amount of science gained from a test above 20%?

    Rigidchips: A sandbox physics simulator with custom-made vehicles

    Rigidchips is a program that falls under the category of "rigid body simulator". Using simple text files or a third party 3D editor, you can make 3D objects using 2D squares that have different properties.

    And yes, you can put guns on your creations and fight to the death.

    Here is a download link for the game:

    Here is a direct download link for the 3D designer (Winrar or similar zip program required):

    The English-speaking forums are found here:

    If you don't trust the links I've provided, you can find this information on the Wikipedia page for Rigidchips.

    If anyone is interested in playing some multiplayer, just let me know and I'll schedule a time that I'll be hosting.

    Do a google image search for "Rigidchips" to see more pictures of awesome creations people have made. I would post some here in a spoiler, but these forums don't like the extensions that most of the pictures use.

    Some videos showing off what Rigidchips is capable of:

    I personally think that this would be very enjoyable for the KSP community.

    (If anyone can tell me how to embed videos that wuold be nice

    SCP-1183 idea

    Eh... it's just another thing what kills you. There are already so many of those. It's a good idea, but change its effect.

    Maybe the person who hit the animal will have memories of a loved one being hit and killed by a car. The subject would have no memories of that person after the time that they were killed, despite the loved one not being dead.
