Cmon guys -- this thing can go 350 m/s, and I just slapped it together in 15 minutes. It only has 5 parts! What's so hard about breaking 300?

(I tried vector engines, but they ate up fuel too quickly and were hard to control.)

[Are Kerbals invincible?]

Why not run experiments on this? Shouldn't be too hard.

[Environment Enhancement: Sealife?]

All I need is a kraken. A giant one. One that will scare the crap out of me when it roars out of the water to engulf my boat with its flailing tentacles and gaping maw...

[Which one looks nicer; new Mk1 cockpit or old one]

New one. It fits the 1.25m fuselages better (the old one had a steep angle at the connection) and looks shiny. @_@

[Most Difficult Thing You Ever Archive In KSP?]

Hardest thing I ever did? Building a there-and-back moon rocket in the demo. It took me two weeks of late nights. XD

[Sun's atmosphere : what the point ?]

People have gone into Kerbol's atmosphere before. I can't find the thread right now, but there was one full of sundiving probes, and someone got up to half Kerbin's atmospheric pressure in Kerbol's atmosphere before exploding due to temperature.

The thread, for those interested: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/124522-Solar-Limbo-How-Low-can-you-Go

[Contracts at their finest :)]

I wish contracts were more like the Challenges we have here on the forum. "Build a less than 10 ton SSTO capable of carrying two passengers to orbit." "Build a plane using only ion engines and fly it to <coordinates>."

[What did you do in KSP1 today?]

Today I made a flying drilling platform. It's short-range, a bit wobbly on landing, and needs solar panels, but since it can do loop-the-loops, who cares?

[How can I un-stow an engine?]

Can anything make a fix so the game will let you activate engines in fairings?

[Fanwork Friday: Valentina & Bill]

Valentina and Bill. I ship it. #myotp

[What engine shall I make next?]

An air augmented rocket engine! It would have higher thrust and ISP the faster it goes, but inside an atmosphere. Outside of an atmosphere it would behave similar to a standard rocket.

They should be pretty heavy too. Intakes are heavy.

o_O Isn't that describing the RAPIER engine?

[How can I reduce CPU temp while playing?]

I have a very similar ASUS laptop, but a couple generations older (i7-3610QM, gtx660m) and I have found the CPU runs at about 80 C and the GPU runs at about 85 C when under load. Ive come to accept these is just normal operating temps

"Normal operating temps" must vary by laptop/manufacturer, then, because I have a Sager NP8651 (i7 4720HQ, GTX 970M, 8 GB RAM) that runs at 52-56C with KSP on highest settings. IMO, anything above 70C is worrisome.

[Worst way to ruin Jeb's Monday]

Staging mishap on launchpad. All the boosters fall off. And the remaining engine doesn't have enough TWR to lift off. Heheheheh.

Nawp.

[Space plane inline decoupler]

I never understood why would we need those. IRL planes don't need such things. At least not those I am aware of. Decoupling a part of fuselage of your plane would seriously mess up it's aerodynamics and CoM. Mk2 parts are dedicated for atmo uses. And you want those to take-off and land in one piece. For other stuff you take long cylinders.

Ah, but this isn't real life -- this is Kerbal Space Program! Isn't that the point? More power to the player is a good thing in my opinion.

[Good Free to play games non pay to win?]

Mech Warrior Online is getting better and better I hear!

It used to be quite unbalanced, but that's practically over now.

Pretty steep learning curve, tho.

[What did you do in KSP1 today?]

Today I sent a plane equipped with three ramjet engines to 50,000 meters and flew straight down at full power. Only the cockpit was left, but I broke the 1050 m/s contract! Any suggestions for how to get the 2500 m/s contract?

[Ban the user above you!]

Banned for unnecessary pollution.
