  1. 0.12 is a long, long way from beta. It\'s just too soon for anything but a 'would be nice in the indeterminate future' type of a conversation.
  2. Confirmed, email arrived a few hours ago. Thank you!
  3. Hi, I pre-ordered the game on saturday morning, still no confirmation e-mail. I have a paypal receipt, but nothing else. Spam folder is empty. Can PM specifics like e-mail if needed, thanks.
  4. And now for a more hilarious result. Test firing of Munlab-2 heavy lander prototype, gone really wrong. And here she is, the Munlab-2 heavy lander, designed to deliver more payload to the Mun! Pride of our aerospace design division ready for launch; what could possibly go wrong? Apparently, lots could go wrong, especially when removing tanks you only take one out and forget the other, resulting in the vessel tipping over right after launch. What made this so awesome was, the thing got stuck in the launch tower and just stayed there until the fuel ran out! Speed 0.0 m/s, perfect hover! See if you can spot the capsule (you can actually see it better in the previous pic). It having broke off I now have zero control over the craft, can\'t even throttle down. Yep, still there.. But seriously, that capsule position is just perfect! Out of fuel. This is going to hurt, right? Right! But not as much as I thought, the crew is still alive. Yay! Apparently, what makes for a hilarious flight also made for a hilarious crashed wreck.. kinda looks like a broken Transformer. Amazing nothing got blown up. A lot. Well, I\'m not cleaning this mess!
  5. I\'ll begin with an actual successful mission - deploying the MunLab-1 science outpost on the Mun and returning the crew safely home! Here are shots on the surface, and showing departure. I kinda like how they turned out. You can see a small tank I tossed during descent. The engine that was attached to it apparently blew up when it hit the ground Landed: Decoupling complete, time to go home:
  6. Excellent. Pre-ordered KSP a minute ago (which is, the moment I saw the store was back). This kind of a game deserves all the support it can get.

    Hi!

    Not new to KSP (was just lazy to register till now), been playing since the old, Moonless, no RCS, no orbital map versions. Then took a break, downloaded 0.12, and was amazed at how much did those three features make the game even more interesting! The full version should be pretty impressive. At any rate, after making a few successful Mun landings and returning the astronauts home, I guess it was time to register and say hi Now I\'ve given myself several tasks to keep myself busy. One is placing 4 satellites in Munar orbit in one mission. Then putting a small research base on the Mun. I also wanted to try some funky stuff with orbital transfers, wanted to see if I could lock a ship to switch between Mun and Kerbin orbits indefinitely without any input to maintain this after it was established.. probably not before we can start doing flight plan analysis on the ground prior to launch, etc. But still, a Mun/Kerbin orbital yoyo would be fun At any rate, hope they fix the donations system quickly, because I think this game deserves support.
