Many parts like batteries have little lights, you just clip them inside so only the light is visible

Working on completing The Dunatian (see the link in my sig), at least to beta, it's getting real close now.

I think it's not only that theres nothing much out there, it's that you have lots of tools to make designing rockets easier but interplanetary flight tools seem unnecessarily circumscribed. e.g. Include a transfer planner, that might make it more enticing to do outer system trips. The stats only show that people don't go, they don't show why, I have heard many casual players lament it being too difficult to bother with, not too difficult to do, just too much bother for little reward.

Sorry, don't want to derail further just to say theres an EEX 2.8 video out, it has auto strut and fuel line symmetry, looks really neat. Back to your thread sorry again.

Apparently 20th Century Fox released this mission guide for Ares 3 which includes crew bios. http://www.docdroid.net/Zxk9zKw/the-martian-ares-3-mission-guide.pdf.html - - - Updated - - - Goddammit! I am sure this is screwed up since the shuttle was cancelled before he even started the book.

Ah hah Rick Kerman is a pilot! 5 more to go. Rick Kerman - Pilot Mark Kermney - Engineer Christopher Beck - Scientist Beth Johanssen - Engineer Alex Vogman - Scientist Commander Lewis - Scientist Roster complete

I actually think the one thing they have ruled out would be the saviour of multiplayer, and thats FTL. Wormhole drives or something similar would reduce the need for time warping, you just need to get to say for example 500km apo before engaging the drive. Get rid of physics time warp in Multiplayer, or maybe do it in shifts, would add a strategic value to physics warp.

Didn't work apparently roles are determined on their names

Hmm changing the Kerbals names and Gender is easy, changing their roles a bit harder. Have some glamour.

I think he is saying in a timeframe that doesn't give you cancer. Like The Martian using a Vasimir drive to thrust all the way for a 39 day transit. I agree that it is possible to get the required dV to get there quick enough with chemical rockets, but then theres stopping, it all starts to add up to a massive transfer vehicle.

The amount of time you spend in the high rad environment would depend on the quality of your shielding and the amount you are willing to take. Older Astronauts who have already fathered children might be willing to take a higher dose than young astronauts. The research seems to indicate better shielding is on the way. This has some discussion around an earlier physics article that led to a patent and work with Boeing and others. http://space.stackexchange.com/questions/3772/how-much-power-would-a-spacecrafts-magnetic-shield-require

Well there was the dV readouts, not huge but looked for

Nope, gotta finish the Dunatian, it's so close

Well I was hoping someone would build one

I have built a Curse Project and moved all the craft, you can download them from there. the front page has been updated to reflect the changes.

But does it work better?

I would start the cargo bay with a structural frame down the middle botom and then attach the wing parts to that. One strut to link the wings together at the top. One/two struts to attach each section of wings to the other. You can make stock bearings or attach the door via docking ports and drop it use monoprop thrusters to get it back up.

I saw this article this morning and was expecting to see Dragon Capsules on Duna everywhere http://www.iflscience.com/space/how-spacex-plans-land-mars

Yep first flight 1951 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_Hunter

WASD camera is hard to get used to, I ended up getting rid of it. EEX is good, make sure you know your keyboard shortcuts for symmetry and radial multipliers x and shift x. Intake Build Aid and RCSBuildAid are also very useful.

You want to make this hard for me don't you? I have to admit the orbital stuff is not my forte and it will be a bit eyeballed because my math is to rusty for anything else. I need to get Goslash27 or someone like that to help me.

Yes there was

This fixes not being able to use the brakes action group then put the functions of the airbrakes in a different action group

Someone else showed me the answer, set the sirbrakes to retract in the brakes action group.

Make the flag background transparent, then resize the text, but the biggest text is the police sign.
