My desert planet name suggestions: Desselus Dest Udesta Rendes Nandeska? Bandela Tuska Alak Dejave I may or may not have written a program to make phonetic hybrids of Ikea furniture and towns in Arizona....

I sometimes accidently double click Kerbin, and I see a "target Kerbin" message. My camera is then centered on the planet. I cant seem to deselect it by double clicking my ship or any other bodies or ships. The only solution I've found thus far is to restart the game. Does anyone know how to de-select bodies?

I'll send out von neumann probes to find the teapot! ...right after I make a von neumann probe mod, and buy a supercluster to run KSP

When I did it, I launched against Kerbin's rotation to achieve an elliptical orbit around the sun, burned retrograde to get my periapsis down to about 300 kilometers, and then down there near the sun, I burned the rest of my fuel prograde. What strategy did you use?

I can't see charr... Wonder if it's hidden by the glare of the sun. It must be REALLY close

AAAAHhhhhhhh I want to play it now

Excessive staring into the sun has revealed that it is going supernova in 1000 days. 1 Kerbal must escape at all costs. build a craft that can get him 1,000,000,000,000 meters from the sun as fast as you can! Leaderboard: 1: mathmavin - 1Tm in 710 days 2: fong - The Interslicer - 1Tm in 1016 days 3: asaman - Special mention Rules, You must use traditional liquid fuel You must use command pod mk1 Tanks must not be denser than 200 units of fuel per unit of mass Engines must not produce more than 30 units of thrust per unit of fuel consumed. (unless it's vanilla, it's not clear how to measure those, but they are all OK) You must avoid the fuel bug somehow (I've heard running at full throttle all the time is one solution)

That was faster than any of my launches to orbit...

Dude you always make the weirdest looking craft.. I would never thing of that.

IMO, as soon as darwinian evolution get's started, space-faring intelligence is inevitable.

Well if everyone thought it was kerbals and not kermen, then it's kerbals. Language is a matter of consensus anyways (unless your French)

Me too. I really hope they put an ocean at the bottom of all that atmosphere, and make it look metallic. I'm looking forward to parachuting into it, and I hope they have some kind of haze that increases with depth.

I think it will be important for the parachute to open at a variable altitude based on things like velocity and air density. Because right now I think it's triggered on altitude and that won't be any fun trying to parachute my Galileo probe into the new gas giant!

Is actually putting lava on the lavaless planet slated for this release? or will it remain rocky? I'd guess since they haven't released any pictures of it, that they have something more in the works.

OP why don't you buy a $900 notebook?

Isn't that only because of the hyperthreading? KSP is not paralellized so it cannot take advantage of this.

This and tons of other CPU intensive applications adopting Nvidia-designed acceleration. And they are an awesome company, with the most powerful chips on the market when measured in GFLOPS/Watt by an order of magnitude.

which mod contains the folding solar panels?

The parts say they are three meter, but they are smaller than a 3 meter tank, and larger than a 2 meter tank. Sorry for being pedantic, but they don't fit, and it looks wacky.

Doesn't it fall over?

In an attempt to befriend the beast, I made a lanky robotic octopus and fired it into deep space. Turs out, large spindly ships tend to make the Kraken very very angry. Just outside of kerbin orbit the Kraken grabbed it and started spinning it around wildly until it exploded. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to build a ship which angers the kraken as much as possible. you ship must spontaneously explode due to kraken effects at the lowest possible velocity. you must be outside the atmosphere, to rule out drag as the cause of failure (success?) please include a pic of your craft in orbit I'll enter my ship when I get home to my other computer.

Why are all the support struts on the same side?

So I built this abomination... I had to substitute some parts I could not Identify. but here it sits on the pad. The space Kraken took a keen interest in this ship and decided to start screwing with it as soon as it was out of the atmosphere, so I ejected some of my ascent stage early in an attempt to regain control, but that just made them angrier. Didn't have enough thrust to get into orbit though, so I came in for a "landing" Imgur Album http://imgur.com/a/nUBVi So... my guess as to why you posted that picture in the 0.17 thread... was to brag about the Kraken fix. lol

I figured it was some kind of sckycrane... I'm going to build this when I get home from work and land it on the Mun.

So Nova built this really weird rocket and put a picture of it in the 0.17 fan thread. He gave no explanation. Your job is to try and build a replica of this ship and put it into orbit. Ap. and Pe. must be above 150 Km. Maybe by using the ship we will get some idea of what it's for!
