Can anyone comment on which altitude I need to be parked at on Jool in order to get the Advanced Part. Collector to work? I guess I am a bit confused as to how these changed from .25 to 0.90.0 -- thanks in advance...donated to this mod over xmas because you guys are awesome! Thanks!

0.90.0 compatible?

I don't care if that's not what I want. That's what I want. Holy heck, thanks dude, that mod is an instant dl.

And to be fair, OP's title implies contracts with the word "missions"...so I can see how Excl would have mentioned that.

I am not talking about meaningless chatter, I am talking about a mod that has certain sounds for certain situations, such as beeping for docking, a certain beep for when your orbit approaches an encounter, etc etc. They could be completely customizable so that the user could choose to, for instance, only hear beeps when his/her orbit encounters a planet. This could be useful for when you are executing a burn and do not have the map pulled up and your vessel has an accidental encounter during a separate target transfer. I like to know, as I burn to Jool, if I happen to encounter Duna, or the Mun during my burn. I think this feature could allow for more of a fluid, intuitive use of MJ and other mods.

Not to divert the conversation too much but those of you who are saying you would like a Kethane-like resource, have you ever played with Karbonite? It is infinitely better than Kethane, IMO. I personally don't think they should add resource gathering like this because there is really no point. The mod is already out there and it is quite good. Karbonite/ScanSat/Orbital Science all work really well together and add value, to me, for the game. I can place all kinds of scientific instruments on my vessels which makes my missions feel more purposeful. I like the idea of resource gathering because it adds a new challenge to the game, though I can see why some dislike it.

Hello, I was wondering when we can expect an update to B9 for 0.90.0? Thanks in advance, great mod.

I feel like this appears gimmicky -- like a map at Disney Land. Not a fan. I like the way it is now...besides, seems like a detail such as this is the least of our concerns as passive participants in the development process.

DEFAULT: Don't remove Kerbals from a pod I specifically choose for missions just because I move or replace a part. Can I just say? So. Annoying. (I know you can turn this off but this should just be default OFF since it is seriously so annoying to go from Launch to VAB just to move a Kerbal) DEFAULT: When I IVA a Kerbal, most of the time I just want to see what they see. For fun. Why must the game immediately assume that I want to "control from here"? If I want to control from here, I will right click and choose that option. This is really annoying and makes me scurred to IVA during burns because then my ships thinks it is going the wrong direction from the node. I know there are more important gameplay fixes that should/need to happen but these are just two of my peeves.

I've had instances of the game deleting ships...usually happens when I load a ship from tracking station, or when I am going back to Space Center. The screen glitches black and almost looks like my graphics card is bugging (it's not). I just get in the habit of quicksaving whenever I am concerned I may lose something. Anyway, I think also the game gets confused when you have two pods on one ship from VAB to launch, a manned and a remote. Not sure why. Doesn't seem to be an issue with ships that have docked and have multiple control pods. I haven't played around enough with this but perhaps someone here has a more intimate knowledge of this issue.

Wow. I just have to step in here and say that I love this discussion and some of you have some very great points, ideas, and passion. Holy hell, what a great community.

After lurking on the forums for several months I finally made an account last week in order to ask a few questions and participate in discussion. I recall reading a few weeks ago mention of someone suggesting that a "mobile tracking system" would be a great feature. I agree. I had a shower thought just a minute ago that I swear could either be awesome or pointless but what about a schematic feature for creating blueprints for rockets and SSTO's while you are in-flight? I guess it would be fairly pointless for most instances but consider the times when you have an insanely long burn and want something to do other than just alt-tab the game? Also, it could be useful for the moments mid-flight when you think, "ah ha!" and want to quickly edit something in the VAB for next time or just because you have the attention span of a 2 year old. That's me. Anyway, mobile VAB is what I guess I would call it...any takers? EDIT: Format and spacing

With the new update, a lot of things are new and different in career mode. You have to unlock maneuver nodes. The limitations on mass and part count is designed to make career mode more of a grind, less easy, etc etc. The people building massive rockets are either in Sandbox or in a fully unlocked career game.

This. Will do...thanks for the great advice and reminders everyone! Sorry I didn't mention that this question was in reference to larger ships...I sometimes forget there are people who don't know what a strut is
