  1. Hint: lose the air intakes. They cause immense amounts of drag, slowing you down. At this altitude you don't need more than one, two if you want an easy symmetry. Also, all screens with FAR usually have the FAR icon easily visible on the top right (not to mention going at speeds above 500 m/s).
  2. -10 I somehow thought your weapon of choice would be... Rockets
  3. Probably better. Do you intent to leave the C in? It might be interesting to see if anyone gets it. It might also skew the results, though. I wonder how many people will get #4 right. I know I wouldn't have before I started playing KSP.
  4. Regarding question #16 - technically, it can have two correct answers. (and some more) Along the obvious right answer A, stars can and do fuse heavier elements in their cores. Red supergiants go through a carbon fusing (or "carbon burning") phase - coal being primarily made out of carbon makes answer C right as well - some stars actually release energy from burning coal (not exactly, but I find it funny. Also, answer C for Carbon - am I seeing meta jokes where there are none? I probably need some sleep) Also, there are other burning phases with net energy release: helium, neon, oxygen, silicon and iron.
  5. Oh, cool, integrated pocket watch. I just hope it's not stuck upside down so I can at least read time with it The object directly behind the wall in front of you has suddenly accelerated in a random direction! What's the damage?
  6. Assuming you mean my comment, that would be page one, not two
  7. One trick to preserve your electric charge is to right click the battery and disable resource drain -> that little green triangle on the right. The battery will stop giving out electric charge unless you reenable the resource drain again, essentially giving your rescue craft infinite amount of time to plan the randezvous and rescue. As to the randezvous itself, I can't seem to figure out where your rescue ship is. I might be blind, but I just can't see it.
  8. Congratulations! I also forgot to mention, and you have probably figured it out already - engines always drain fuel from the furthest source first. That allows rockets to drain their boosters first (if they are connected to the core), and generally causes the front fuel in spaceplanes to be drained first - something to consider when fiddling with the CoM in SPH About the fuel problems, there's (almost) always room for improvement. Flight profile, choosing the right vac. engines, maximizing turbojet time/performance, allocating correct amounts of fuel for different engines, improving orbital manuevers... If you need/want any help with the design/flying, feel free to ask
  9. Are you into any WWII themed vehicles, or just the ones that actually existed? If the former, then some of the Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor vertical tank designs might interest you. If the latter, hmm... Maybe a V-2?
  10. -5 Good, good! Let the power of the Negative side flow through you!
  11. No, thank you. I absolutely understand the frustration some uneducated people might cause you, but I don't think it warrants ridiculing them.
  12. 8/10 I like it. I also need to see the movie again. I don't think I've seen this beauty here - Swordfish II from Cowboy Bebop. (the red one, if anyone is confused) EDIT: Fix'd image... not that it matters
  13. It's -2 wins for the negative ones (RainDreamer just didn't update yet) - I hope that won't deter your desire to help us settle the score -3
  14. Granted. Everyone has different ideas on what counts as "more fantastic", usually contradicting each other, and they all get implemented. Needless to say, this breaks the game horribly. I wish for a nice trip to the mountains. (and get creative - I don't want to end up with just a broken leg )
  15. Oh, I didn't know we could start again on our own Sorry Mad Rocket Scientist, I was misinforming. Anyway... -1
  16. I don't think it's supposed to work that way... But I'm not Ziv, so nevermind me. One reason - the ALCOR capsule. Technically it's against the rules, because it didn't get validation from Ziv before the mission. Someone pointed out that it weights less than the solo lander can per kerbal, which might get it disqualified. Not sure what you can do to address this, maybe try contacting Ziv via a PM to give you a post-mission green light - if you do and the capsule gets accepted, I'll be happy to judge your mission thoroughly.
  17. Yeah, about that... We need RainDreamer to officially announce the win and reset the game. Sorry
  18. I love how everyone is just waiting for the -99 to finish the game alright, I'll sacrifice my win for The Kraken! -99
  19. don't ever assume anything, that can come back at you later. However, since I got -88 covered, it's fine. also... -97
