  1. Station means some installation you can definitely find at its known place to do something with it. No need to be stationary or even orbiting. It can be mounted in a car, attached to a bicycle or flying to stars.
  2. There are at least two limits: 1. A strength of the struts holding a massive rocket. 2. Increase an engine size means increase gas flow turbulences in the combustor and nozzle causing a combustion instability.
  3. Or you would attach the wheels not directly to your rover's body, but to additional beams or panels, attached to the body - as an insect's legs. https://www.google.ru/search?q=kerbals+ressors&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=cECBVMDwIcHJPMK7gdAH#newwindow=1&q=ksp+rover+suspension
  4. Good?! Just loose about 70 kg of edible biomass?! No way! Use Life Support converters instead. Btw: why real maniacs almost never look as "fine and dandy" as Dr. Lecter? Just degraded outsiders or full psychos.
  5. Strip mining and burying habitat/technological cylinders inside.
  6. Btw, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Cryogenic_Second_Stage contains another Kerbal-oriented link: https://web.archive.org/web/20110722081616/http://www.ulalaunch.com/site/docs/product_cards/guides/DeltaIVPayloadPlannersGuide2007.pdf and it's not too bad.
  7. Thank you, this is also a very good mod, I have missed it. These two mods are a great pair of tools for me.
  8. As we can know on good authority (i.e. Elite), the will send poilce Vipers and shoot down any Fugitive status guy.
  9. Also this small but important thing is a must-have for any KSP player dweller. http://i.imgur.com/EJ38MM2.jpg ( That's from http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/66502-Kerbonov-Kn-2-Cockpit-Module ).
  10. They just try different KerbPaint textures with their Jumbo-64 tank. Or maybe there is just a pile of old automobile tyres below  to absorb impacts and vibrations.
  11. Alcubierre mini-scooters are much more realistic, I guess. Even if build such monstrous construction, any cargo still would require almost the same energy (kinetic + potential) as if just launch it. And it's much easier to send it by a microwave ray if you don't want to place a reactor just aboard. So, the only question: is it easier to build a 70000 kilometers high whip-shaped building or just to create an arcjet or plasma nozzle with high ISP and low fuel consumption.
  12. I.e. single-use multi-stage launcher with additional manned aircraft to retrench 300 m/s of velocity and ~10 km of altitude? From my POV until multi-use single-stage airplane runway-fueling-space-runway-fueling-space (as usual planes) all these phantasmagoric projects (and also including Virgin Galactic's, of course) will be a exactly the same as: http://gizmodo.com/5927718/15-early-airplanes-with-more-wings-than-a-bucket-of-fried-chicken
  13. In BoatParts 4.6: have you found BoatPartsR3\Crafts subdirectory and copied the crafts to your KSP\Ships\SPH ?
  14. Maybe to avoid a terrain editing, just to put some large plain detail  "Embankment". There are several mods with such details (btw Kerbin-Side/Kerbal Konstructs have), but they need to either launch it from Kerbin, or to put with an editor. I.e. bulldozer snip-snap, snip-snap... Then - bang! - an Embankment appears. Which would have a horizontal top and semi-sunken bottom.
  15. Probably you would try to delete parts not used by you: reactors, antimatter tanks, refinery, engines.
  16. Is your computer's Power Supply Unit enough powerful? If its power is not sufficient  when you run some "heavy" process and your CPU and videocard begin to consume much power, power unit can switch itself off to prevent overload damage.
  17. KSP\saves\...\*.sfs ... FLIGHTSTATE { version = 0.22.0 UT = 19.2599999999997 activeVessel = 0
  18. KSP Interstellar http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/43839-0-25-KSP-Interstellar-%28Magnetic-Nozzles-ISRU-Revamp%29-Version-0-13
  19. Of course. And as closer you get to the event horizon, time dilation for: every pair of your atoms; every pair of electrons in your atoms; every couple of nucleons in your atom cores; every couple of quarks in your nucleons would dramatically increase to infinity. Because any two particles always have different distance from the event horizon. And this is hyberbolic function: 1 / sqrt(1 - Rg/R). So, yes, tidal force would be weak as a feather weight, don't worry. But as closer you are to horizon, so every particle of your body would watch any another particle living trillions times faster. So, I presume that your body would finish its existance as a binded system of particles and would become smeared in time and space as a Planck-length -thick spot of quarks or so, with maximum enthropy value. A movie  yes, nice: as a movie. Yes, I know Kip Thorne books, thanks.
  20. 1. Put Mechjeb on your plane. 2. Start, fly away from runway. 3. Use Spaceplane guide mode. 4. Let Mechjeb bring you to the runway.. 5. As Mechjeb usualy crashes my plane on touchdown  switch off Mechjeb and finish your landing manually. Repeat this several times and remember positions, distances, speed values and orienting points as Mechjeb does this. Reproduce Mechjeb's guidance yourself.
  21. And whether it indeed exists. Or gravity field is not a simple GM/r^2 in a galaxy scale of distance. The only direct experiment we have are 2 Voyagers and 2 Pioneers  just 100 AU far from here. For example: electromagnetic and gravitational fields are 1/r^2. But do you have any simple formula for weak and strong interactions? And as we presume, all four interactions are the same in a proper distance and time range.
  22. First of all, we miss a planet with 2.6 km/s orbital speed.
  23. Firefox + NoScript & AdBlock & FlashBlock = friendly mediafire and many other sites.
