Will they ship to the UK?! Can you please get a European distributor as well SQUAD, I love almost all of the merch but I really dislike having to order across big ponds due to water damage/shipping times/figuring out if that even ship! Tweety

Agreed...seems so simple, yet also appears to be illogical to many, many people. Tweety

Despite manoeuvre nodes already being in the game when I brought it (0.18) I learnt how to get to the Mun watching a video and setting off prograde when the Mun appeared from behind kerbin. Videos are my favourite resource even if I don't understand I can then grasp it by trying it myself and understand what was explained in said videos. Tweety

Rendezvous and docking was pretty hard for me (I genuinely didn't know what the RCS ports done until one day I decided to use a yellow fuel tank...) Reading the navball effectively. Build a rover that doesn't want to kill all occupants (still have this problem). SSTO's completely baffled me until I accidentally ended up in a very high apo suborbital flight. Now I'm obsessed with them and still struggle to lift more than a satellite to orbit. (but I can do Runway->Minmus->Runway in one stage, go figure). By far the hardest thing for me to learn, present tense because I still don't follow this, is when to throw away a crap design. I always seem to hold hope for most of my designs. Tweety

Sooooo what you're saying SQUAD, is that I need to move house, get mostly unpacked and set up my PC before 7pm BST.....challenge accepted! Tweety

274? Tweety

I keep messing with a binary translator but I keep getting 3 x P and a J. I am just mashing about with a binary converter while I am at work but this is really bugging me now. Cheers for the puzzle! It is keeping me far more entertained than fitting tyres ever could! Tweety

Thank YOU guys for making a game that I have been able to sink so many hours of my free time. Thank you for creating a game that has got me involved with such a great community! Just thankyou! Tweety

I'm with Temeter here. You wanted fairings, we are getting fairings. Will they be improved upon? Yeah I reckon so. Nothing in the game is really a direct analogue of real life, I'm looking at you Ion engine. It doesn't immediately mean they wont tweaak and mess with what will be a full game. Who's to say 1.1 wont give you the option for bag of crisps vs clamshell? I don't mind how they work as long as they work. Besides if you don't like it I'm sure the mod will be available, just like I don't like the graphics so I install a mod for that. The full release (agree with it or not) will have everything in it. Then the modding community (which are amazing) will come to save your sanity Tweety Edit: Also watching it a second and third time, it just looks like the kerbal way. "I've got all these explosive bolts here....I know what to do with them"

Rampant frustration is the little slope leading up to the wall. Soon you will wonder why? Just why won't this work. Then the YouTube, Google and ksp wiki get hammered to death for a wealth of information which will likely fly straight over your head shortly followed by a 'quick half hour' on KSP and then, DING! You realise that's why it didn't work. Then the next night will be, how can I make this bigger, better, more fantastic....then the reading begins again. Welcome, there is a wealth of information sitting right in this forum. Ask questions, then prepare your follow up question. There will be a follow up question. Tweety

NovaSilisko was a dev if Nova says that's why i have no reason to disbelieve. Pretty cool formations though. Tweety

No no no no! Now I wanna play Pokemon blue or red until KSP 1.0 turns up! I'm 25 for heavens sake! Anyway, welcome to the forums and thanks for the reminder of how much I loved that game! Tweety

YAY saved the round 8! Although I fear the rebalance of it will turn into a whack-a-mole with the nerf stick. At least it still looks like we keep the most spacey part (in my opinion) in the game! Loading times....whaaaa?! Just 12 seconds?! That's just, well thanks immensely for that SQUAD! Still unsure of the fairings but I'm sure will turn out great and as for the new aircraft parts, WOOHOO! Finally wet wings! Bigger wings! Nicer intakes! Sliding scale for aero as well! Flying boxes hurrah. I certainly think the devs are pulling out all the stops to do us proud! I'm glad they are since they have to impress a much wider collection of players soon. Thank you for the squad cast summary as well without these I wouldn't actually know anything about squad cast, it was these threads that actually informed me there was such a thing! Much appreciated Tweety

You're not wrong. While I think I could squeeze SSTO out of mine the whole new aero would most likely break it Tweety

I have built something like that before for an egg challenge but mine was a whole plane in a mk3 cargobay, the idea of carry it in pieces is a very good idea that I may steal though. Ingenious. Tweety

I don't think I've ever seen modern car like tyres on any real life rover. Regardless you can make a decent enough axle in stock by using one of the radial decouplers on the bottom of the 'chassis' and snapping on 2 girders and then the medium dark grey wheels. You then have the shock absorbers in the wheels plus the single axle roll that. I had a screenshot somewhere of one I made as I described. IF I find it, that's a big IF, I will post it. Tweety

I voted to have the choice. Choice is good. I won't cry however if they don't have an option since all you have to do (what I have already done) is copy the KSP folder to somewhere safe so you always have a '#lolaero' model. I done it especially so I can make flying boxes and what not. I'm sure at some point I will want to launch that pancake or great big fat onion into space for fun. I just won't be using it that often. Tweety

Eve landing is easy. Returning to orbit is the hard bit also kerbals are not stupid, just paid very very handsomely in large quantities of snacks and are therefore willing to do anything you command as long as you dangle snacks in front of them. While im not so good at the building of large and impressive crafts there are many people who are, the aesthetics are covered in this thread and for generally large and oversized crafts look for anything whackjob touches have fun. Tweety

I agree with your sentiment regex. I too believe it's necessary in this day and age that the graphics are below par hence I installed EVE. If the multitude of mods I have used in the past were all stock then the game simply wouldn't run on some PCs or worse, any PC at all until 64bit come our way. We as a community have to accept that at some point a game is considered complete, even if we hate to accept it because it hasn't got everything we want. You may enjoy playing with RSS I'm guessing? But I for one most likely don't have that skill level and I don't consider myself a 'bad' player. Then to force it on others without at least a tweakable sliding scale of sorts, the game would become a constant failure to new players and possibly dismissed way way too early. I love being able to pick and choose how I play, just the same as everyone else, so why change the structure so as to fundamentally create a game which would be too hardcore for some casual players. Put in essentials yes. Put in essentials to all the players in the community, no. We all have a massive choice in the mods we can quickly install and are well maintained, so take that option. Tweety Edit: That isn't meant to sound like an attack on anyone just for the record.

I too agree that whole mods shouldn't ever be added just because most people want it. I have EVE installed for the visuals, and a second save where I have FAR installed. I have gone to the effort of saving all of my 0.90 folder to a safe place because I know I will want to mess about in a souposphere in the future and make some truly ridiculous things fly! I love using FAR, I'm terrible using it but I love it, that doesn't however mean that I would force it on everyone because it's like hitting a learning wall all over again. As long as everything in tweakable, how realistic the re-entry heat will be(which I have seen confirmation of) and how unforgiving the new aero model will be I don't see too much of an issue. SQUAD also have to be careful about adding more and more to the game because not all of the community have amazing computers. It's already hard enough playing with a 100 part ship on my dads PCs and adding more stuff without the equivalent optimisation will ruin the game for him. Long story short, all in moderation, severe moderation. Tweety

Love it! Always looked at cupcakes crafts in awe! Music selection was top notch for the mood of the video. Tweety

19:53 and 20:36.......those 2 time stamps for the video are just pure gold. Thankyou whackjob for a truly, truly spectacular couple of moments in a completely glorious video! Tweety

Well I'm now going to be pulling that part out of my config and saving it in a safe place if they are going to ditch it. I find it so damn useful, I pretty much always clip a couple into my craft somewhere so I've got a 'oh crap I need more fuel' buffer! Tweety

There you go then. I have had other more impressive moments but this pretty much sums up my love for this game. Tweety

Does it have to be anything fancy or spectacular? If not I have a screenshot kicking about of my Duna landing running EVE which I quite like. Tweety
