Janos1986

That thing is ANCIENT, at least 4-5 years old. I'm an IT guy, and that Dell Optiplex minitower series sucked. For instance, there was an issue with the power button welding which shorted on the motherboard after a few months of turning on the PC, bricking it.

A guy I knew gave it to me and I liked so OH GOD THE INNUENDOS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD WHY DID I WRITE THIS. I hope I don't have to explain "1986".

So it's basically ROKEA. Please note that hex keys are sold separately. Anyway there would be YouDock, so kerbals can browse all day long while staring at videos of cats doing stupid stuff at zero G.

AH! My savior!

Jeb returning safely from orbit trip, aerobraking everything is fine, engaging parachutes. Good thing: I'm landing near the KSC. Bad thing: I'm slowly descending above a 70% slope of THE MOUNTAINS near the KSC. Here lies Jebediah Kerman 19XX - 2014 "Why do my chutes keep disappearing as soon as I touch a solid object?"

. A Space. A single spacebar stroke. Dear God, I'm boring.

"Enough is enough! Gene, prep the minivan, we're going places."

It happened to me while landing a probe on Duna once. Here's an accurate timeline of events that occured that day. Landing approach, nice and smooth. Eclipse, Out of power. Wait and pray. End of the eclipse, the probe is alive again. Need to deploy chutes badly, press space with my forehead, nothing happens. signal delay to deploy chutes 1m14s, estimated time of impact 1m05s. "Fudge yourself, I'm getting a coffee, go ahead and crash you stupid chunk of metal" The coffee was good though.

THIS. Mom, I want this for my birthday.

I always thought it was to ease players to switch between saves for various reasons. "I want to build a rocket but I'm not sure how it will end up in my save with no reverts, I don't want to kill my Jeb, so here, I'll test it in Sandbox first." Those sort of things. Or maybe it's just speculation.

There are never enough batteries. Never. Especially using RemoteTech.

I love the fact that you need an engineer to get KER data. I could even have accepted if only engineers could enable KER at all, that would have made them crucial to a mission. I always thought engineers needed more love, and repairs are not enough of a task.

I'm not sure i'm following. When you're in the space center, press ESC and select quit to main menu, it quits to the main menu. You mean that every section of the game should have the "quit to main menu" button, or that when you do quit to the main menu it actually moves you to the Load/Create game screen (which I still consider main menu)? Please explain.

And now for something completely different... When I'm space truckin' (yes, for shipping cargo between planets I made a space truck a la Cowboy Bebop) I'm blasting Roger Daltrey.

Come to think of it, I'm doing this for free, expanding outposts and all. How uneconomical. I mean, I was putting up a karbonite mining station and comm relay, but could have done it FOR MONAY!

Truth is, I added so much mods since I began that I feel I have to start over again, and I just upgraded every building to level 2 and the launchpad to level 3 in hard mode. All the grind would be useless.

Today I made crudely drawn custom flags for my idea of separating planets of Kerbol as sovereign states. The United Moons of Jool's one is by far my favourite. Maybe I'll make one for each moon. I'll probably change surnames for my residents. For example, citizens of Laythe will probably have a name like Dreidos Laythemore, or Frosen Eelan if a citizen of the Eccentric Republic of Eeloo.

When contracts were first introduced, Gene tried to make me test the launch stability arms in orbit around Minmus. What the heck, Gene.

Welcome back, even if I wasn't there when you left.

Not so sure. I haven't noticed it, I never went negative with reputation to tell otherwhise.

If there's an atmosphere to aerobrake and slow your descent with chutes only, and/or you feel confident about your TWR for going back up in orbit, use a single piece lander. If there is no atmosphere and you feel the need to have a braking engine, use a two-staged lander to shed the unnecessary mass. It's useful even for the Mun, especially if you have tons of scientific equipment. You can visit different biomes until you run out of juice in your first stage, take all the science from the science modules and ditch the empty tank and modules to get back safely to Kerbin. Or you can settle halfway and build a two-staged lander powerful enough to get to orbit in one piece, and having the second stage as an emergency bail for getting into orbit anyway should something go awry.

Half and half maybe? For example, instead of paying 6 million kreds for a Level 3 R&D, it may cost 3 million kreds and 400 reputation. Reputation is useless as it is now, except for strategy trading. There is the fundraising strategy, that's true, but IMO it doesn't yield enough cash for reputation even at high commitment rate. And cats WILL rule Kerbin, that's painfully obvious.

Maybe you'll reach a point when you just stop caring and say "if it goes sideways, I'll just launch another one". Or maybe that's just cynical, especially if you're on a manned mission.
