Right its way easy. My only thought were those mods that aren't updated immediately and that maybe this sort of mechanism would allow for more centralized downloading of mods versus visiting one of four websites. Also right about how each is executed. It would be too difficult to rely on each modder to follow precise implementation guidelines for easy installation. It's not needed. It would just be for convenience.

Lol yeah good point. For some reason, I thought it was a decent idea. But now that I think about it, why not just quick switch with bracket rather than bone yourself. Especially since so many people are not reverting.

Maybe it exists, but if it does, that I know of, it is not created by Squad. What about a mod installer that works with modders to: 1) install mods; 2) update mods; etc. It doesn't have to be anything too crazy. I just feel like a simple mod regulator would be a good idea for updates, etc.

Oh I missed that! Good idea on their part and I hope it pays off. Appreciate the input.

I tried seeing if this was already discussed, so if I missed it I apologize. I realize mods are per developer. I understand all underlying considerations. Question is simple... How long does it usually take for mods to update to the next level? Everything from B9 (with many users) to Remote Tech (with fewer users).

This may be completely useless, and maybe it is already possible, but I originally thought control from here meant you control that craft from the present view - without switching crafts with bracket. What if this were possible? The view doesn't change, but the nav-ball and everything realigns with the selected craft. Might be useless since switching with a bracket is so simple and quick but could help with pulling away satellites and other detached craft.

Not a bad idea. I like the idea of being able to choose how you would like it since it is circumstantial. Sometimes it is wicked convenient to have the menu pop up directly underneath the cursor.

Unless it is already possible (I tried looking) - What if you made it so you could set an actuation as a stage. i.e. - triggering a stage: opens solar panels; reduces the thrust limiter of a selected rocket to 50%; etc.?

I'll give them a shot. I do like a lot of the British shows but i can appreciate a ton. St. Trinian's? Nah, never heard of it. Curious though I will have to take a look. But way good idea on the wiki page. I'm going to take a look.

Also a good idea. But I wonder if at this point you should just enable paused toggling in case there are many things to be toggled at once? I'm nervous paused toggling will take away from the spirit of the game so this might be too far, but doesn't sound bad.

If it is just normal issues with figuring out the construction, what I did was use a cargo bay. You can get B9 Aerospace mod; has lots of good parts; or just wait for the update and fly a smaller shuttle. Then, with the attachment point, you can put a docking port inside, either on the inside-front/back, inside-side, or inside-bottom. When you are where you want to be, open the bay then undock. Just connect the two docking rings with a "stack separator" for strength. You could also make the mid/front section of the fuselage hollow and apply docking rings within. Do this by making a gap where there is no fuselage. Just use structure and attach it to the outside of the fuselage you want to extend.

I'm sorry, but you might have to be more specific. Are you just trying to attach a docking ring radially or on the nose for once it is in orbit? If it is what I am thinking, you are having trouble attaching a docking port radially to a plane's fuselage? First, you have to attach this radial attachment point: http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/BZ-52_Radial_Attachment_Point Then attach the docking port to that.

Probably answered but I want to make sure...Is this only duplicates or can it store triplicates, etc.?

Yay! You used my idea! Just kidding. Had no idea how to research that. But sweet it's implemented!

I see that you can enter educational codes when buying the game? It made me flash back to my first 20 hours of game play over 500 hours ago...after the first 5 hours of which I finally got something into space. BY NO MEANS am I saying the game is poorly made or bad in some way. Just saying that in an educational setting, the educators may completely benefit from there being prefixed scenarios, etc., in which they can lesson from, depending on the scenario. Simple, pre-made rockets that will surely make it into orbit. Orbit adjust scenarios where a rocket needs correction. Programmable scenarios where someone can set requirements in building a rocket (e.g. weight, thrust, fuel, part count) that allows choices and individuals to explore the possibilities under the guise of educational limitation. Many ideas are already in tutorials, so this isn't far off. And maybe that is enough? But it opens the door to another avenue of consideration.

So just thought about this. Are you ever moving head first at high speeds into a cliff and all you have to do is right click your engine to turn it back on, but the camera angle changes! Sure you right clicked the engine, but the button to turn it on drifts further and further away as you chase it down. Finally! You clicked it! But only because the camera doesn't chase the now destroyed craft... How about, no matter what the camera is doing, when you right click an action part, such as a parachute, engine, etc., that new window freezes in its initial position so its easy to click the button? You should know what part you clicked on, and if you don't, then how about turning off this function in the settings? Maybe the only time the window should move with the item is: a) when it is toggled off in settings; when you are controlling the camera with right click drag? You can also consider having it so the camera still does its thing, but the rotation is not based on a central point on the craft. Instead, it is now, temporarily, centered on the clicked part. That way, the menu does not move at all, but the camera rotates accordingly until the menu is clicked off/away. Once the center point is back to the craft, the angle of the camera is still where it last was, but the focus point changes.

It does not come as intuitively at first so I want to mention...Remember you can do things like: Keypress 1: Turn on jet engine 1 Turn off rocket 1 Turn off rocket 2 (in the case of a SSTO) But it is important to mention that an action group is universal. If you say to a satellite you built that "1" makes the solar panels extend, then you install that satellite in a shuttle where you have already programmed the shuttle's "1" action group to turn off all engines, pressing "1" will both extend the satellite solar panels AND turn off the engines. (while separated, "1" will still do as planned, per craft; the aforementioned is in the instance both craft are as one) This happens at any point where the multiple craft combine into one (e.g. docking). Just be aware.

YouTube. Reason being...For KSP, people watch youtube to learn, then they watch Twitch to get ideas/entertainment.

Hmm.. All good calls. I will hit them up. I guess after watching what I want I forget to look at possible goodies

Won't happen if they raise minimum wage (badum tst), but welcome!

Exactly why I'm so stoked on 64-bit stability! Have 16 gigs to use on this beast and waaay too many mods.

Its really bad. I can only play games multitasking now unless I'm enthralled completely...So I run netflix on the other monitor. Lol Yeah I love The Tick. Also been on a Star Trek kick...Maybe I should try the newer ones. But they are so soap-opera-y. Definitely need to work on Fawlty Towers again, just too bad Mr. Bean is out, but I guess its hard to get sick of Black Adder.

Not at all! I was mixed up with the "Saturday" Squadcast being held at 5p.m. mountain time on Friday so not too surprising as many people didn't make it as I thought they would. Understandable though since they can really only rely on one time zone for announcements for consistency. And thanks man! Yours rock, too!

Why is there nothing good on Netflix anymore? Since they increased new purchasers' price for streaming, they have dramatically reduced the quality and availability. Really...What should I watch?

Just wanted to get a correction out there. The winner was Friend Bear, the Eighth Samurai, but it was for "A Heat...Who?!" Link: http://coub.com/view/3ep4i (sorry, I am not sure how to get the coub to show up in the window, here) -------------------------------------------------- This has been corrected - Thank you! -------------------------------------------------- No worries! It was a way fun competition and lots of good posts for it here, including Aver9eJoes's' and all those named above! - Link: http://coub.com/tags/ksp Very appreciative for the win, thank you KSP-TV Team and all those who liked my coub! Took a lot of effort. But all of the competitors spent a lot of time and effort on theirs', as well. As said, lots of good posts, so lets show everyone the support they deserve!
