    Well, those are some cool pics. What have you done to improve the on the Talon designs? Also, my first entry is now online- the Part Clipper-11000! No pics, I'm afraid that you'll have to fight it to get an idea of how it handles.

    Probably, because it's really just heat IRL. And HARMs, I've gotta add that. Edit: In my own battle, I was finally able to take out both of @ScriptKitt3h's planes without more than a scratch on my own. First time ever, though.
  3. Dman979
    Really? That hasn't been a problem with me. I start my planes facing your planes at 8km, and after the AIM-120 salvo (which may or may not kill up to one plane of either side), we close into turret range. The lasers consistently shoot my planes' cockpits, enough that I have to install armor plating and a probe core to control them after the head-ons. You seem to come out of this with one surviving, intact plane.

    @drtricky, I'd imagine that you'd have a hard time dodging radar missiles with a plane that big. How does it work?
  5. Dman979
    I'm so glad to hear that turrets are still allowed. My plane design is progressing, pretty quickly, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to make it evade missiles. I have a feeling that the effectiveness of countermeasures decreases the more you use them (and, correspondingly, the more mounted on the plane), but @BahamutoD can confirm or deny that. BTW, @ScriptKitt3h, your design is pretty good. It can fly without the pilot, so that's an advantage it has. The Lasers are also really effective in a head-on fight.

    Not much, we had a manned launch scheduled, but Mysterious Steve quit, so it was scrubbed. We're figuring out our next launch ATM.
  7. Dman979
    Nope, most people are not. It has not been released yet. As to the craft, I don't play Halo, so I'm sorry that I can't help. Good luck!
  8. Dman979
    Sure! What @ZooNamedGames was referring to was if you could set up port forwarding. You'll also need to install the RSS/RO suite of mods. And which role would you want to be? Pinging @Mad Rocket Scientist because scheduling.

    I'm sorry, I didn't catch your application. Can you repost it, please?

    I saw that you had posted in a topic called "Stumped on an orbital mechanics problem" and figured that you had posted an insightful answer. I'm scared, now, because you're asking the question. I'd suggest emailing a physics professor at a local college. They like to help people out.
  11. Dman979
    This'll be fun! I have some questions, though- I'll ask them via PM as I start my design.

    If you're falling back down, aim for a higher Apoapsis than your orbit. (BTW, Apollo was ~180x180 km). Once you've passed apoapsis, pitch up, so that your vertical velocity cancels out at the same instant that you reach your target orbit altitude (again). You'll save ∆V because you're not fighting gravity all the way, and it will allow underpowered stages more time to fire.
  13. Dman979
    It might be your launch profile, or it might be you're over mass. See if you can find the mass of Apollo 11 at liftoff, and compare it to yours. Also, what orbit are you launching into? BTW, the Saturn V had a takeoff TWR of 1.1. It was a BIGGGG rocket. The third option I see could be the lack of first and second stage inboard engine cutoff.
  14. Dman979
    Ah ha! I was editing my profile picture.
  15. Dman979
    Hey guys, just your friendly GM checking in. It's good to see some more activity on this thread.
  16. Dman979
    That's alright. RL should come before this project.
  17. Dman979
    Who? WHAT? Eh? You rang? Ummmm.... @ILikeIke?
  18. Dman979
    Hey all, Would someone be willing to make this picture: into an avatar-sized format? I guarantee that there's a replike for you!
  19. Dman979
    Hi @Mare Veris, Oh, you return them!? Mine are permanent 1-3 Kerbal colonies. Not really, though. I plan my missions pretty well, but I like to use KER. Welcome aboard!
  20. Dman979
    Oh, it was referring to specific people? I thought it was a template, but we all get confused sometimes. Best, Dman. Sometimes, taking things out of context is most of the fun. Happy landings!
  21. Dman979
    Whatever. It's not the achievement, but the journey. Sound familiar?
  22. Dman979
    another awesome list! I'll be sure to check them out.. I like how we can comment on the list in this new format. Thank,s @sal_vager!
  23. Dman979
    We do not have a launch code for it. I'll send it to you shortly.
  24. Dman979
    Hi, Ethan! We already have a 1-tonne launcher, built by @Joco223. It would work well for a small payload.
  25. Dman979
    Wot? No Munbug XIII?!? But anyway, I'm really looking forward this this space sim, too.
