No, I design them to look awesome. If by \'ridiculous\' you mean \'could not possibly fly in real life\', that\'s fine with me.

On the downside, you lose the compatibility that makes Windows as popular as it is.

90 viruses.

Correct.

The recorder has a low framerate, so all you see is flashes. But in game, it was expanding then fading in the space of a split second.

I\'ll take that advice.

Gaby, I expect great things.

I haven\'t tried this myself, I was just interested to see if it could be done. Basically, use any sort of rover wheels to get the largest base you can build rolling about the Mun. Bonus points for not using Instant Orbit or Anti-Grav, but really, what I want to see is the whacking great constructions, so get your imaginations moving. Extra bonus points if your rover can locate Munoliths.

I don\'t even know.

Was relevant? That\'s more of a mushroom than what I\'m talking about. And I didn\'t say it was the game or the community\'s fault. All I said was that I had a pad explosion that was a questionable shape, and that I did not want.

I guess BBC News went and Did Not Do The Research.

Impression I got was that it cooled to air to well below zero degrees C because otherwise the air going through the engine [at Mach 5] would melt it.

To elaborate, this is the second time I have had an explosion on the pad which, due the the shape of the spacraft, meant there was a column of explosions and two large explosions on either side at the bottom. Hence no screenshots.

You have just described in detail \'an engine cooling system\'.

The HSD Cauteriser V3, a well ranged plasma weapon, carried by most HSD infantry. It is highly effective, although can be difficult to aim. (Designed by TitanSeraph for me. I modded it to look more Haikovan built.)

Its on the news because they are testing the engine cooling system. Or, as my Dad put it, 'A fridge on the back of a jet.'

This is a British-designed fully reusable runway takeoff and landing spaceplane, utilising a form of air jet/rocket hybrid motor to power itself into orbit. The engine is currently in testing, as this BBC news report shows. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-17864782 Here is a basic design plan for you to look at: It has been said that with funding, this craft could be launched within ten years. The European Space Agency has found nothing wrong with its design.

I don\'t see why they would need to be in the same pack though. These are all Veto Aerospace Flight Pack parts. Putting yours in would mean it wasn\'t all VA stuff. I\'d have to call it \'The C7 Extension Pack\' or something. Especially if it ended up with more of other people\'s parts than my parts.

This design has been touchy with weight/lift balance. I decided that if the brunt of the weight was held by the tail end of the aircraft, and the nose just helped hold them up, then it would probably fly better. I\'ll try it with branches as an experiment though. The main reason I used branches on the Wolfe X1 and other massive aircraft is because they are simply too large to hold together otherwise.

I decided not to use branches, to keep the weight further back.

I do have an entry, though it is clearly nowhere approaching the largest here. It didn\'t use Instant Orbit though. The largest thing I have ever put into orbit. Nose-on view of the StarHab. Side-on view The StarHab carries approximately 45 people under moderately nice conditions. Its habitation modules are arranged as collumns of three under tri-couplers arranged in a triangle around the engineering section. The fuel tanks and their adaptors have been converted into wet workshop habitation areas. Power is provided by a nuclear reactor built from a NERVA engine, which is mounted underneath the engineering section. Emergency power is provided by three converted communications satellites. The engineering section is comprised of three SCIENCE modules. There is a crew of three, though the station is fully automated. The command pod can be jettisoned to reveal a docking port for rescue vessels in case of extreme failure.

And Gaby punches Physics and Common Sense in the face once again. Awesome.

Too much information. Do not want.

The engineers decided to build a plane that was \'full of sheer awesome\', fell happily into the lap of the Cool Plane TV tropism, and carries up to 72 passengers - which would make it the best VA passenger airliner to date. The Scorch was the result. Cruising speed is 140 m/s. Landing is made difficult by the sheer amount of Refined Explodium on board, which results in Stuff Blowing Up.

Again with the explosions that cannot be posted if the site is to retain its\' \'child friendly\' status!
