  1. NovaSilisko used Rage! Its super effective! Brony was defeated. Anyhoo, welcome to the forums.
  2. No, I mean on the bottom of the side-mounts. Is it actually possible to make an RCS thruster that places the same way as a liquid engine?
  3. So basically, to use your VTOLs you will also be firing the main engine?
  4. Certainty is approaching 1 that i will put putting absurdly powerful downfacing engines on one. Are your downfacing ones VTOL jets or flight assists in place of wings?
  5. Similar to getting things to attatch horizontally to Probododyne struts. Except I can do it a lot more easily with Nova\'s mini decoupler.
  6. Excellent work. Though I could probably have done something similar if I\'d had the space station node. Its been released?
  7. You don\'t happen to be mentioning the \'seen 130-what-the-sod-times\', are you?
  8. Ok, zombie apocalyspe situation. Standard. Going to assume under the circumstances that my parents and sister will have been on a walk at the time and are currently holding out in Dad\'s car at Teversham and trying to get it to start without stalling again. IE, they won\'t factor into my plans during apocalypse. -Hour 1 Ok, I keep a window pole I found on holiday once in my built-in wardrobe. Retrieve window pole. Pick up torch. Pack up my two laptops. Stand around for quarter of an hour trying to work out how to bring my desktop. Leave desktop for later. Remove schoolbooks from camping bag I\'ve been using for school since my old bag broke. Fill camping bag with underwear, spare clothes, towel, deoderant, portable DVD player and DVDs. Put valuables [debit card, cash, phone, pocket AM/FM radio, etc.] into safe box, put safe box in rucksack. Look through bathroom for useful things, like mouthwash, plastic toothpicks etc., put things in rucksack. Grab scarf, put it on. -Hour 2 Proceed downstairs, wielding window pole. Assess situation downstairs. Make sure cat stays in living room. Gather tinned food, small smount of cutlery, teatowel for drying things with, all cans of drink and all the bottles of diet Coke. Put consumables in a coolbag. Put coolbag in fridge, whilst throwing away various cheeses and sauces and egg sandwiches I don\'t want. Look through bureau. Decide short range FM transmitter may be useful. Put it in safe box. Get house keys, unlock outhouse door. Go into utility room. Pick up electricals, batteries, and the mains inverter battery for short term high-power. -Hour 3 Grab toolbag from built-in wardrobe. Put toolbag in rucksack. Go back downstairs. Go into outhouse, and lock outhouse door. Check through outhouse windows if coast is clear. Fences are high, OAP neighbours on either side of the garden. No zombies. Unlock back door. Hold up window pole warily. Proceed to outhouse shed. Unlock it. Retrieve petrol generator, despite full knowledge that neither myself nor my Dad were able to get it started last time we tried. Put petrol generator in outhouse, gather important tools from shed. Take tools into outhouse. Go to shed at the end of the garden. Locate electric hedge trimmer. Test electric hedge trimmer on hedge, with trimmer plugged into mains inverter battery, to make sure it will work. Notice that no movie characters ever used a hedge trimmer instead of a chainsaw. Be disconcerted for a moment, before checking shed and deciding there is little there of use. Notice cat box. Bring cat box and hedge trimmer to outhouse. Lock outhouse door. -Hour 4 Call 999. Recieve no answer. Call 666. No answer. Call local non-emergency police number. No answer. Give up with phone. Turn on TV. Power is still on as National Grid unlikely to fail for 24 hours. BBC News informs me on the finer details of the zombie apocalypse. At least, a little more than I could discover just by looking out the living room window. Remember the cat. Put her in cat box. -Hour 5 Look out living room window. See zombies. Attatch hosepipe extention to outhouse tap. Bring hosepipe through house. Realise it isn\'t long enough to reach my window. Decide I didn\'t want to do that anyway because the water might damage my things. Bring hosepipe to back gate. Bring sister\'s slide over to bike shed by back gate. Climb on to bike shed roof with hosepipe. Fire it at zombies to see if it drives them off. Water drives them back a little, but then realise its just drawing attention to myself. Realise escaping in Mum\'s car is something for tomorrow. Go back to shed at the end of the garden. Retieve gazebo. Throw gazebo parts up onto the flat roof of the outhouse. Go indoors, go to landing, open landing window and climb out and onto the outhouse roof. Set up gazebo. Weight gazebo down with heavy objects to prevent it blowing away. More tomorrow.
  9. Thanks. And its not difficult to build. The hardest part is getting it into orbit.
  10. Yes, you\'re right, Derpina is the memeface girl. Though I\'m not particularly inclined to ask what the MLP community actually calls her. Anyhoo, my favourite episode of Outcasts is episode three. http://www.megavideo.com/?d=Q8WKBL02
  11. Managed to get this image of the jettisoned pods going past me from in front of me. I think I overtook their orbit. Though I couldn\'t find the other two pods in the image, they were there. I watched as a hexagon of artificial Munar satellites glided past me. The station\'s centre in orbit of Kerbol.
  12. Fixed the problems. Munar orbit successful. The entire crux of it is that I used mini-decouplers at the ends of the struts, and that doesn\'t glitch. Then I added what I wanted to onto that. You can jettison these pods, but not if you want to live.
  13. Helios Station is the much improved \'bigger brother\' of the Evolab, though now carrying six arms, a habitat, more scientific equipment, a NERVA engine, and the ability to reach the Mun. It is still in prototype stage, which explains the lack of RCS ports on the station, and the fact that the fuel lines were fitted the wrong way round. With the six fuel tanks connected properly, however, it could go for quite some time, perhaps even into a Kerbol orbit, where it could rival Starlab in its functionality.
  14. Your avatar is known by the MLP community as \'Derpina\' or something similar, though is not named in the programme. She is seen delivering letters with little to no great ability. I know this because of a brony on Madcomms called TheBenMan.
  15. If it were true I would walk into PC World with a protest placard, and start singing that song about Sirius Cybernetics Corperation matter transporters from The Hitchhiker\'s Guide to The Galaxy.
  16. Then this is what it\'s about: Carpathia Transporter 9, shown in the images above, broke up on atmospheric entry on account of a damaged thermal shield. It dropped its six sub-shuttles before it did so, however. The Carpathia Transporter in my avatar is CT10, which happened to be carrying revoloutionaries who didn\'t think President Tate was doing a very good job of holding things together, and were willing to take over by force. Series 1 ends with CT10 arriving at Forthaven. Series 2 didn\'t even get to the stage where it could be cancelled, because ratings had gone through the floor since Episode 3. Damn shame, really. It was such a good sci-fi TV series, compared to Star Trek or Doctor Who, at doing realism, and telling humanity like it is.
  17. I wanted to see how it would affect a small craft in a landing scenario. Its not supposed to look good.
  18. The VA Swift is a miniature VTOL, intended more than anything else as a testbed for miniature jets.
