personally ive only used the mk2 after it was updated and fully functional, its got a nice field of view and a nice space for docking ports or intakes the mk1 just seems a little too narrow and cramped, its got an awkward shape like its slightly concaved and has fake intakes on its sides and just doesn't flow with the shape of the other fuselages as well as the mk2 does now

by that I mean, instaid of making the solar system 10x bigger, could you make all the crafts, particle effects and atmospheric heights 10x smaller? ive made somme tiny stuff with tweakscale and I think it could work

ive seen lots of older videos about kraken drives and a few threads i can no longer locate, but i dont know if its still possible to make kraken drives with usable phantom forces toggled by landing gears or wheels. anyone have some examples of ones they have made? or a proof of concept? im not entirely sure how they work but i get the general idea, have landing legs deploy so theyre pushing into a solid part of the ship, producing an uncontrolled phantom force.

robbaz pronounces it "light" but I think that's just some weird Nordic phonetics hes using inadvertantly

often I try to make stuff as small as possible, this rarely works out very well :T

its actually that easy to escape eve now? in the past year or two ive not so much as touched eve with any manned missions because i thought returning was impossible, but ya just need that? im really glad aerodynamics are updated..

ive always wondered about that, I love real solar system but at the same time the planets always have very troublesome surfaces, responding very poorly to rovers, often fallen through, texture separated from hitbox. is there any way to fix these things? or is it inevitable that such precision would be impossible? whats your experience?

i think KAX is a good one, something to give us proper propellors and make exploration of places like eve or duna practical

thats probably supposed to be that way, a monolithic mass of ice.

i think there definately needs to be some cooling part, cuz the new mechanic makes nuclear engines overheat and the sun heat you even further, so wouldnt it get to a point where the 3km/s slowing burn needed for moho insertion is impossible?

with reentry heating, they have a use besides that of science gathering, measuring temperature of parts, could be useful for monitoring reentering aircraft and nuclear engines

ive always played with far, which i assumed was really realistic, but i always hated how difficult braking and landing was , have to come in at 130 m/s and try to land without lifting again and end up stalling out. but this is way easier, made a nice fighter jet and it can glide at 50m/s before a gentle drop onto its gears and landjng, is this realistic?

my guess is that this is to make up for parachute spam, and to hold larger vessels straighter, but still, tiny vessels do get yanked at about 11 gs and slow down at like 20km XP

ooh, that's a bit confusing, had to edit a few times already... how am I gonna rewrite that hmmh.

Twas the night before beta, when all through the Vehicle assembly building Not a kerbal was stirring, not even billy-bobfeldring the rockets were held in the save files with care, in hopes that the beta game soon would be there the kerbals were nestled all snug in their beds while visions of aerodynamic failures danced in their heads and wernher in his coat, and I in my suit had just settled down for a long game reboot when out on the runway there arose such a clatter I sprang from the hitchhiker container to see what was the matter away to the window I waddled like a flash, tore open the airlock and threw up the sash The mun on the surface of the runway's dim figure, gave the luster of mid day to the nightly picture then what should my wondering eyes see there, but a miniature capsule and shiny new space hardware with a little young driver, so quick like a ballerina. I knew in a moment it must be Valentina more luminous than stars her engines did burn and she shouted, and laughed as she called them in turn; "Now Thud! Now Mainsail! now Poodle! Now Skipper! on NERVA! on Rhino! on Ion! on Terrier! To the top of the VAB! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!" as seprerated wings from a crashed jet fly, when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. so up to the house top the coursers they flew, with the vessel full of science and miss valentine too. And then, in a blast I heard on the roof. the crashing of the vessel from the rocketry goof. as I drew in my hand and was turning around, through the ceiling came val kerman to the ground a bundle of science reports on her back and she looked like a peddler just opening her pack. her eyes-- how the twinkled! her wall-gaze how merry! her expression sweet and her widow's peak hairy! Her droll little mouth in a small overbite, and her eyes gazing apart, bulging and white. the container of science, held tight in her arms and the smoke hung around her, setting off several alarms. she had a broad green face and a little round belly that shook when she laughed like a bowlful of jelly. she was little and stout, a right jolly green elf, and I laughed when I saw her in spite of myself. a wink of her eye, and a twist of her head, soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. she spoke not a word but went straight to her work. and all the science, and turned with a jerk. and laying her mitten aside of her face, and giving a nod, jetpacked back to space. she sprang to her rocket, to its remains gave a whistle, and away they all spiraled like the down of a thistle. but I heard her exclaim, ere she flew out of sight, "HAPPY BETA TO ALL! AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!" I do love poetry

I need to know what their names are for something im working on, anyone got a video link to them?

ive honestly had no motivation to start new ksp projects, knowing it all needs to hard reset on the 27th, so im downloading soon as its availible

i assume if shes a pilot then ill be using her to test all my planes, i do lots of plane testing

i think this could be damage states to parts, instaid of exploding at random, they slowly get damaged over time until they bust or theyre repaired. would be a simple implimentation if we only replace textures

big news! (i assume the release of 1.0) https://mobile.twitter.com/Maxmaps/status/588707536993320962 coming sooon! let the speculation begin! the Hype trainâ„¢ is reaching maximum velocity! -edit- also this probably has a bit to do with it, 11 boosters, is there a 10 image tomorrow?

personally i think eve is composed entirely of grape koolaid powder, supersaturated in the purple seas and staining the atmosphere with grapey flavour.

yeh but even so, its not a massive series of craters and smoothed slopey hillocks every half mile, theres crags and big rocks and river beds and canyons and mountains that are more than particularly large hills

new planets and more interesting planetary surfaces are mentioned in the "what not to suggust" list, theres ancient posts of the devs talking about their work with geysers on laythe and plans for gas giant 2, but its been years and ive not seen anything about the new planets or their plans for implimentation :T theres this, http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Gas_planet_2 but there's no real new information other than the one forum post and the concept image taken from a livestream or something. has any dev even mentioned new planets or more interesting planetary surfaces in the past year or so?

usually I just name them after the kerbals who are gonna fly it stuff like "jebadiah cruiser" "raylong rider"

well, there is no real difference, possum can also refer to the australian marsupual but here we're just referring to the ratlike north american one. it is technically opossum but possum is easier to say
