  1. Hello All,

    Is there any way to link two running copies of KSP 1.0.4 like both running in parallel worlds but they want to meet.

    .....both play in the same world

    Or use dual monitors to run both ships docking each its own monitor complete

    What I would love to see linking {thru LAN or cables} so my grandson & I can play a game

    together when he is a 1000 miles away.

    ...a control panel for the lights on/off patterns switches for each.

    .... can we transfer Kerbals with out evac build a sta then fill with kerbals

    Thanks for your time ...You all have done a great job Thanks from a great grampa...my daughter is a grandmother hehe

  2. Hello everyone,

    I have been Kerballing for a couple of years and love the depth and accuracy of this system.

    My system is a 3.8 gig quad sys with 16 gigs of ddr 3 duals and 6 terrabytes running up to 4 monitors.

    My suggestion is to use 2 monitors To allow both ships in a docking maneuver to be displayed and controlled.

    and /or display multiple views.

    The new version has a few bugs and an error report that will tell us if the problem is in our computer's ability like video cards or such.

    current reports are beyond me the actual problems.

    Also a control panel for the lighting would be real nice.

    Thanks for your time great job so far Squad.

  3. "KSP is beyond awesome with multiple monitors.???" I have 4 monitors and want to use them in KSP how can I do that?

    "Well, you could use a multiplayer mod to have two instances of ksp running with the same world instance." Do you know the name of the Mod to allow this?

    I slapped together a fast 3.8ghz quad with 16gig ddr3 duals and runs both fine never to two shall meet?

  4. It is not a first stage rocket it is what you install in space for the inter planetary flights 250,000 ft/lb exhaust contains minor radiation best used in space.

    - - - Updated - - -

    layered use of various types of shielding including surrounding the entire ship in

    a water tank outer shell and storage to slow down cosmic & other radiation down

    followed inside that with Hydrogenous material (like white plastic pipes or blocks)

    for interaction with neutron or proton radiation.

    Then all you need to do is create a monster magnetic field around it all by the

    design of the ship and some rotation for gravity ................

  5. Does anyone remember the secret Nuclear engine tests around the 50's then they were banned.

    Perhaps we can model the engine after that one.

    I work in the Nuke field let me see if I can get the specs.

    More to come.....

    I Got the video

    This to start.......

    NERVA (Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application)

    http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/N/NERVA.html

    These specs should be able to make one for Kerbal

    I am not at that level maybe someone.....

    NERVA technology

    The NERVA program started out with the following objectives:

    multi-mission capability

    man-rated

    based on full-flow topping

    minimum chamber temperature of 2360 K and a minimum chamber pressure of 450 psia

    minimum 75,000 lbf thrust

    endurance of 600 minutes and up to 60 cycles

    capable of 85,000 lbf and 500 psia transients

    incorporating adequate shielding for manned operations

    storable for 5 years on the ground, 6 months on pad, and 3 years in space

    transportable by land, sea, and air

    To meet these objectives, NERVA consisted of two reactor projects: the Nuclear Reactor eXperiment (NRX) and the eXperimental flight Engine Prototype (XE-Prime).

    During its lifetime the NERVA/Rover programs accomplished the following records:

    highest power: 4500 megawatts thermal power

    5,500°F exhaust temperature

    250,000 pounds thrust

    850 sec. of specific impulse

    90 min. of burn time

    thrust to weight ratios of 3 to 4

    By the time the NERVA program was terminated, the NERVA-2 had been designed that would have met all of the program's objectives. Two of these engines would have been fitted to a NERVA stage capable of powering a manned interplanetary spacecraft.

  6. Hello All,

    I have 16 gig ddr3 dual on a water cooled Quad 3.8 Gig I also have 3 monitors does KSP allow additional monitors.

    It would be great to have both ships visible while docking one on each screen.

    Or fly 2 Mech Jeb ships at the same time in the same universe.

    Or Build a ship while you fly the other.

    Thanks for all your help.

    Merlin

    P.S. is it possible to run 2 copies of KSP and not conflict about 5 gigs allowed for each?
