After losing Agathia, several Kerbals attacked Nambia. husdafl

Been working on naming schemes and stylization ideas. Boring? Not as much as you'd think...

Well, using strategic fuel depots, I can do a round trip mission to Mun with an SSTO and 5 tons max at any point. If I got really efficient, I could take that SSTO to Jool.

Well I imagine you could design it so different clusters have different ISP's and TWR's. Use the high TWR for emergency manuevers, and the high ISP ones for deltaV savings.

A few random pics involving the External Seat:

7/10 - I've seen worse photoshops.

If you put wings anywhere on your rocket, put em at the bottom. Even then, they're unnecessary. With the proper application of SAS, a wingless rocket will fly perfectly.

I wouldn't be opposed. Although I rarely do part testing contracts these days, I can still remember going back to the contract screen a couple times, trying to remember what I'm there to test. On the other hand, you can open the contract window thingy in the VAB/SPH and just look at what it says, then match it to the right item.

My rules: - Make it look at least somewhat realistic (no flying pancakes for serious missions) - Extra leg room for long trips (each kerbal gets minimum 2 seats if the trip is beyond Kerbals SOI) - Pack about 500 extra d/v per manuever (orbit, landing, rendezvous, etc) - Docking without RCS earns double points (just like "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" the points mean nothing except for amusement's sake) - Since I use TAC-LS, I try to keep at least double (if not more!) the amount of supplies needed (minimum 40 days worth... even for LKO) - Interplanetary? Add some recyclers (TAC-LS) and a Hab Mod for leg room. - Kerbals get bored far from home... always bring a rover!

I've had it collapse and explode when trying to move a mobile colony off of the pad. If all 8 wheels aren't touching at once, the whole thing goes boom :|

I call it the Explorer Dreadnaught. Self-sustaining using Kolonization.

So much this.

Where I live we have (what I think is) a large possum living in the tree in our backyard. Never seen it up close in daylight, but I've definitely heard it running around in the tree, chasing rats and whatnot. I suppose they might be cool as a pet, but when you've got one (or more) watching you from the darkness whenever you walk outside... it's a lil creepy. 0.0

I always start with function first. Once it works, then I'll add a few stylistic touches.

Oddly enough, this only happens to me when I have a two-stage ship (usually a plane with an eject system, for example). Any more than that, (3 or more stages) and I won't accidentally stage. I'm weird, I know.

I'm not a stranger to writing out/drawing plans I have for future ships (though my art skills are certainly lacking). If I haven't played KSP in a while, I'll usually end up thinking about old ships I've made, and what I can do to improve on them. Lately I've been doing SSTO's and Tourist Space Stations (pretty stations that only funtion to complete contracts and... look pretty). A lot of times, though, I'll just load up the VAB and start throwing parts together. Sometimes I come up with something cool But usually not.

Hi! Just wondering if you're gonna do another round of crafts in the future. If so, I built a VTOL flying saucer (well, more of a flying box, I guess)... curious to see if/how well it flies in FAR

In the end, cheaper, but the start-up costs are a bit higher. Dragging several tons of machinery around isn't exactly cheap, but the ability to re-fuel and build ships outside of KSC in invaluable (once it's all set up, at least).

Yesterday I was bringing an SSTO back to KSC and encountered this bug. Backstory on the flight: flew SSTO-style up to LKO, where I rendezvous'd with my orbital fuel station. I then proceeded to Low Mun Orbit, where I again refuel'd again before landing on Mun's surface. After some quick science, I returned to LMO, refuel'd (I think) and then headed back to Kerbin. So far so good. I de-orbited, lined up for the runway, and about half a km out, the wings on the right side of my plane "struck" something near the launchpad (about a km away). I kept it under control, but before I could touch down, another part of the plane "Struck" something near the SPH (also about a km away) and the plane fell apart. Maybe it has something to do with docking?

Got a contract to rescue Burden Kerman from LKO... seemed like too much of a hassle.

USI Kolonization also adds a number of modules and stuff to help self-sustainability (for TAC LS that is)

Honestly, I just click "cancel" so it goes up blank. I tend to take them down right after putting them up (no reason to clutter up the planet) so it doesn't matter much anyway.

I fully support this. I think it would be rather funny (and possibly in-tune with the current tone of the game) if instead of pixelated, they were crude crayon drawings or something similar
