Well, you do have a point, but Nekogkd broke it down quite nicely. Yes, Hyperedit is just a tool, and so is the calculator, but as you said, they are optional; this tutorial is for the rest. And yeah, never hurts roleplaying realistically

Woops, sorry. I got so satisfied with finally finishing (albeit abruptly and prematurrly) that I forgot. I can't you you any pictures right now (and I don't even know how many I can get ;I would have to practically relaunch the whole station), but I can get you some details. Truth is that this station, though pretty usable and almost totally self -sustaining, has a large percentage of it taken by aesthetic stuff with no use. I will try more compact ones in the future, that's for sure, but I still love this one a lot. Modules Launched: Communications Module Though unnecessarily redundant in the number of antennas, and probably what baited the Lag Kraken to hang around, it is my personal pride and joy. Its array, placed on a filed Rockomax-3200 because that totally makes sense, includes 3 Communotron-88s, 3 DTSM-1s, 8 Communotron-32s, 16(!) Communotron-16s,and a Gigatro. No matter the lag, my Kerbals will watch ultra -HD love Super Bowl! IN SPAAACE! Calculations Module Also completely useless, but hey, I love roleplay. It consists of 5 large SAS units, 4 large RGUs, and 4 Large Batteries. It's supposed to make calculations, handle the life support system and general station maintenance, as well as conduct research in exosphere properties. Power Storage Module Of course, all this useless junk just wouldn't be realistic (or useless) enough without requiring a crapload of charge, at day and night. The night is covered with 6 large batteries and 8 radial ones (Batt-man, accept no substitutes!) It also has the side effect of powering the life support systems, and therefore keep the Kerbals aboard alive. Solar Array and Docking Module Not that the Storage Module can keep up forever, though. That's why the boys back down at Kerbin brought us a gorgeous retrangular solar array. In a try to cut down on costs and part count, it also doubles as a fuel storage unit, and triples as a docking array for large ships (sticking next to Liquid Hydrogen tanks is, like, totally safe) The Panels are retracted during docking procedures, though the autopilot proved reliable enough when the one responsible slept on his keyboard. I'll post more soon.

Nice tutorial, man. And just a tip; at your first orbits (they will most likely be done by probes), or on unmanned part tests on orbit, use the leftover Delta -v to get it to an orbit as high as possible below 500 km. You did use the always open antenna to get it up there anyways, and it can serve as a short- range gateway to other probes until your geostat network is complete. Also, you can actually get money from communication sat placement ;from 0.90 onwards, some contacts require you to place a probe at a certain orbit. You may not choose that orbit, but hey, it's money. And the orbits generated are actually quite interesting positions ;they give quite some coverage despite their elliptical nature

Here are some tricks I have found, by my experience, for easily testing possible design for Eve landers and such. I will extend this as I progress with my own Eve journey. 1. Landing to orbit around Kerbin requires around 4500 m/s of Delta -v, while both escape trajectory out of Kerbin and acquiring an orbit around Eve require exactly double that amount. Using MechJeb to calculate that is cool, but generally a lander that can achieve a 105 kilometer orbit (Eve's atmosphere stops at 96, but better be safe) and inject itself to interplanetary space all by itself from the surface to Kerbin should be a capable Eve lander. 2. Eve's pressure at sea level is 5atm. However, this doesn't mean you only need five times less parachutes unless you actually land at sea level, which will make it much harder to ascend later. But no mountain is as high as 10 kilometers either, which has a pressure of 1atm, so you still will need less parachutes. A good calculation therefore is middle ground. Again, test on Kerbin ; achieve orbit with the lander (we've already checked that it is more than capable of doing so), then deorbit it multiple times with a varying amount of parachutes . When it can barely land without breaking its landing legs, remove around 1/4 to 1/3 of the chutes (you have to compensate for the fuel weight you burnt during ascent) 3. Taking of from Eve can also be a challenge. Generally, an Eve lander has to be able to takeoff from Kerbin with 50% thrust or less. Therefore, it needs a TWR of around 2.25-3 on the surface of Kerbin.

Whew, finally - after a while, Venus Space is fully assembled around Kerbin: The original plan called for a much bigger station, but the time dilation (aka lag) was getting so high Mechjeb docking autopilot started going nuts, and manual docking was almost impossible. *sigh* Damn computer.

*Jebadiah lands with his capsule next to the KCS* Heh heh... They called me mad! They said a spacecraft is not like a car, that you can't just get out and push... But I proved them wrong! I PROVED THEM WRONG! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Well, I rarely expend more than an hour in each designs. On fact, almost any design that is not functional after the half -hour limit is scrapped and replaced by another one EDIT: I claim page conquest!!

Hmm, why not... I'm going for 1st Class Pilot Precision and Utilitarial Commendation with the Chariot: http://imgur.com/a/MIR2n#0

So... are we supposed to do the challenge now, or not?

We need more. NOW. Oh, and I was gonna name my company over at Rocket Builders as Concord until I saw this thread. Oh well, time for a new name I guess.

I'm accually using the 4.3 version, because it claims to be the first one to support 0.90. Quess it won't hurt to try 4.1 at this point, though.

Don't worry, I know you were last being helpful, and I appreciate it deeply. Right now, though, performance is more of an issue -hadn't had any crashes of lately.

Windows XP. Primitive, I know, but that's all I have, so I have to work with it. And it seems it doesn't accept the command given in the blog you linked me to.

I'm having serious problems with this mod. For 32 bit, both at aggresive and basic, all I get for my work is a crash message. "Fatal error: to many gp headings "

I'm not sure how much good this is really going to do for me. You yourself said that Open GL can't really handle to much of a game like KSP

Any help?

The GitHub version, linked from the OP. And yes, it does advise me to check the installation. But I installed it exactly as I did at 0.25 - simply pasted JSI into GameData folder. I did use another ModuleManager at he beginning, though 0already had the latest ersion - but even after I replaced it with the one provided, it didn't work.

Well, the 0.90 compile doesn't work for me. All it does is show me the monitors completely blank -completely, as in they are totally white, frame and buttons too. What is wrong??

I know this is entirely off-topic by now ( ) , but yes, it makes more sense now. Could it really be a 25m drop? I surely can't tell myself, I always had a problem with sizes and scaling.

Oh... my... fudging... God!, am I really such a noob?!?!? I do remember using the x64 version for my 32-bit 0.25 file, though. Huh. That's weird... Anyways, thank you soooo much! EDIT: Sratch that, it is stil a complete failure, both with basic and aggressive. It crashes, and gives a message. "Fatal error: too many gp headings". Damn.

Is it actually functional in 0.90?

Yeah I know, I know, but that's why I said alternate ending isn't it Anyways, thank you so much, Czo! Is truly an honor for me, you know. Epiloque - Part 3-4 The Next Generation and the Relics of the Past ROZER: ... and this is everything that happened during Proteus' Grand Tour. And I quess you know more or less what followed, or at least how your mother described it. And I'm sure her journal is full of nonsense about an epic adenture full of drama, volatile but bonded relations between the crew, dangers that the alleged "power of trust" helped them solve, and the intense interception of the giant mothership the evil AI stole. I admit, I don't know exactly what happened up there, and she did find her Kod-damn husband on that trip. But just because "Hercules" had almost no casualties doesn't mean that the trip was all daisies and poppies -and it was basically a trip directly to Eeloo! And it was crazy accelerated in Kerbin orbit! But now you know what can happen on a trip as long as yours and more, when everything really screws up big time. ROZER JR. : First of all, you old frakking piece of crap, don't you ever say a word about my mother again. She Koddamn took your place in the "Hercules" trip just so you could get some proper treatment for your cancer -and I have no idea how many strings she pulled to get you that pardon! You are a frakking murderer, and she still saved you! You should have died from that Duna infection, not her! ROZER: Calm down, son. ROZER JR: She even named me after you! I mean, come on, show some frakking glimpse of respect for once in your life! ROZER: I said calm your ass down! I do aknowledge the sacrifices your mother did for me, and I always include her in my prayers every night. But still, her optimistic view on space travel is not what real space missions are. And you? You signed to a frakking mission to the stars! To a planet that may or may not be our only chance -we're not even sure about that even!!- . And this trip will last for more than just a couple of years this time , son. And the technology? How can you trust the tehnology? Haven't you been hearing what the frak I was saying to you all this time?!?! our frakking "top-notch" "Clean energy" yadda-yadda fusion drives? Failed, we almost became a ball of deformed superheated matter. Our "hyper-intelligent, compassionate" "best artificial intelligence can offer to Kerbal" and gronnek-.... like that operating system? Manipulated us, killed some of us, and stole a multi-trillion ship, leaving us stranded in dep space. Our "best material", "space-resilient" hull? Without a crazy AI oppressing our freedom and lives and looking over the ship's shoulders, what did it do? Frak space-resilient maerial, rak it to Kell- duct tape is what saved us in frakking space!! ROZER JR: Now you're just being paran ROZER: And what did you do? You signed up to a trip with a ship powered by a Koddamn Antimater Reactor hat's only controllable on the subatomic level and an Alkerbierre Drive that we've been thinking impossible until the time we trusted our future on whether or not some ancient civilization knew what it was doing!!! What will happen if one atom from three dozen hundred pounds of antimatter bypass the magnetic field? Nobody will ever know or sure - everyone close enough to the explosion to actually identify it as a ship exploding will not have a frakking brain cell surviving to tell the others. And if the Alkebierre Drive malfunctions while on warp mode? We don't know where you will exist, when you wil exist, in how many pieces will you exist, if you will exist at all -Kell, whether you will have ever existed even!!!! ROZER JR: Frakking stop talking with your filthy mouth! I's not my fault if your backwards cells you insist on calling a brain no longer believes in change, but this is the friggin future! This is progress, this is proof that even on the brink of extintion, Kerbalkind will always march through and find ways to surive - even if it's such a risky and full-of-holes project. We have to trust progress, 'cause without it, we'e doomed. Look at the world around you, old man - look what your people have done to Kerbin. It's a wasteland, damn it - the only planet we are sure to be habitable is a relic of the past glory, because your generations refused to see what their way of life did to it - that's why the frak we have to rely on the planets we only speculate an replace our home. Expect if you think that, urge to explore the unknown notwithstanding, I will to leave our little green planet forever. That's what has to happen, though. ROZER: ... ROZER JR: Aren't you going to object or something? Of course you won't, you yourself told me at what lenghts your corrupt politicians have done to keep their "Free way of living" without aring for the welfare of the others. And your president said he would not let Kermarica become a third-world country in his lifespan? I hope he is happy to know he achieved it - The US was still on top of others when he got assasinated. I don't know how proud he would be of the current condition- there is no Kermarica at all. Or Kina, or Krussia, or Kfrance, or Krim, or OTAN, or Kaudi Narabia, or KAfrica, or Kreece, or Krain - just a world full of misfis and survivors. And all thank to his and his predeccecors' greed. Anything you have to say now, huh?!?! ROZER: ...And you are still willing to sacrifice yourself for them? You said it yourself - Kerbality is not supposed to keep on going. No matter what we breed, we still are made of greed. And those are our own flaws turning against us. I personally passed through my life serving this exact lifestyle, and only now I realised what I was: a machine, a machine programmed to serve those who Opress us All. And now, Kod is sending the Flood at us, and lo and behold, a bunch of wannabe Noahs who think they can make an Arc to preserve our corrupt speies, like we will become pure again. I say to Kell with it! ROZER JR: ... I don't even know why I bother to conversate this with a senile piece of crap like you. After all, I'm an adult now, I'm independent, and I don't need you to give me your blessings to make my decisions. ROZER:... ROZER JR: And you're not even my real grandfather - you're just my mother's uncle! What, jsut because they gave you custody of me when my parents died means we're a nice happy family like all others? ROZER:... ROZER JR.: That's what I thought. *walks to the door* ROZER:... ROZER JR.: Farewell, grandfather. See you on Hell. *opens the door* ROZER:...stop, son. ROZER JR: *stops* What now, you frakker? ROZER:... I am only caring about your well being, Rozer. I have passed through a lot at you age too. And I just couldn't take the pressure, it seems. THrough my whole life I felt no emotions, other than pure anger. Rage that would build up until it ollapsed on itself. And then depression came. And then I was a robot. And as you said, I even abandoned a comade for some pieces of rock. You're rright, I'm a murderer, and an empty shell of a man. ROZER JR:... ROZER: But now I can se what I did wrong. When I saw my niece caring so much about me, a man she barely knew really -she was that much of an angel-, I saw all that Jeb was trying to tell me, and punch me for. And then, straight after my surgery, I found a young kerblet looking at me with its puppy eyes, having lost as many people as I. And I understood what love is, what trust is. What it means o actually be able to onnect to a person, without thinking that he is conspiring behind your back, or conspiring yourself behind his for your survival. ROZER: But you were not like me. Oh boy, not at all. No matter how dark you neame, on the inside you always saw good on the other's hearts, you always thought there was hope -and now I respect you sincerely or that, for maybe the first time. You never stopped believing that the world is a nice place, and worth fighting for. I will never believe in the first, and it is too late for me to do so -or you, even. But een if I gradually cease to believe in the second one, I respect you or actually making that practice. ROZER JR:... *gives a wide-eyed look* ROZER: *smiles (sincerely)* Go forth, my grandson. Make your family proud. ROZER JR:... ROZER JR.: You're a motherrakking piece of ...., Rozer. Going through all that hypocrisy just so you won't die alone and miserable. *slams the door close* *death silence fills the room* ROZER: *smiles a smile full of pain* That's all you deserved really, old man. Seriously, this is exatly what he ought to give you, and he did. *closes eyes* *falls off the wheelhair* ***

I have noticed that 0.90, awesome though it is, is much more memory-demanding, and much laggier. Which may not be that bad by itself, but becomes very irritating as I haven't found ye a memory-reducing or performance-enchaning mod for 0.90. There is always ATM, I know, but it only works for 64, and I'm using x32. Ae there any mods I could use that I have possibly not found yet?

Well, Czololetmuss did came in for a close second in my list, but you have the first place screwed in, glued, and guarded by Jeb. You never cease to be awesome.

Actually, I kinda expected a different ending after reading Epiloque part 2. I used all the plot twists in my disposal, but yours was all unexpected. Actually... If it isn't too much to ask, could I possibly post here my version? As an alienate ending or something?
