    Holy god. And yet I still think grade 10-11 will be a big deal.

    So I spent a whole week designing a hab that could land on Duna. After a few horrifying and unsuccessful launches I set off to the red planet. The first time, I couldn't even capture the planet, so I retried (didn't know how to f5-f9). Then, I tried to aerobrake (my first time!), but the shell the hab was encased in was extremely long and sharp, and I was too low and fast for parachute deployment (kaboom). I retried. Hours later, I finally landed, but the game crashed and nothing saved. That happened about four or five times, until, finally, I touched down and didn't seem to have a problem... except that I put the solar panels on the wrong way, and they broke upon attempting to rotate through the fuselage of the hab. Retried. Again, hours later, I finally touch-down. I rejoiced, until my computer bluescreened and restarted. Three bluescreens later, I successfully land on Duna. I quickly save and leave, scared to death of another bluescreen or crash.

    How about @IonStorm? He should be premium.

    You should see my very second flight, two years ago, in the KSP demo. It was WAY worse.

    So now I can't use both canals, nice. And I can't find any small, isolated atolls to dump Bob on. Is there a way to increase the resolution? Just how dangerous are the x8192 textures, and why?
  6. Matuchkin
    Yes, that is truly an ingenious idea (seriously, I'm not even being sarcastic here)!

    Well, for one thing, if the Roman Empire survived what killed it (an economic downfall), it would still have to fight German Goths, Visigoths, Ostrogoths, and the German/Polish Vandal tribes. Anyway, if Rome did survive that (slim chance), it would certainly not reach spacefaring status by 1100AD, as the empire fell in 476AD (only 624 years have passed to 1100AD). Also, I assume that the reason you asked about 1100AD and not some later date is because you assumed that the dark ages (also known as the middle ages) would not have happened if Rome didn't fall. That is not the case. If Rome didn't have its economic downfall, the dark ages would still go on around it.

    You understand me correctly. I don't plan to landmass-hop with them, though. I plan to conduct "research missions" in interesting locations, such as the Baffin Mountains, Antarctica, or several Pacific Islands/ atolls. I will return to the ship afterwards, and continue my journey. Also, I was asking about the Panama/ Suez canals because I was going to use them in my first planned (equatorial) route. Now, my planned route goes up through the Baffin Islands, through the North Pole, around Novaya Zemlya and Russia, and Through the pacific. Then, I will continue through Antarctica (Weddell Sea and South Sandwich Islands), and go back up to KSC. So now I need to ask about the quality of the map in general, whether it features any small pacific atolls or islands (such as Wake Island or Rose Atoll), and in how much detail the map follows the actual terrain.

    Yes, I did. I have part doubling (for the medium bow thruster), and am at a complete loss of other parts. I followed your instructions, but I could not manage to solve the problem. I had the files as: KSP/ Gamedata/ WW2Warships + WW2 Shared + BS Shared + BigShips. (I added "WW2" and "BS" prefixes to several files, to categorize them)

    Right. I plan to use a decommissioned missile cruiser, the KS Bonaparte, to tranport all my stuff around the globe. I plan to use KAS winches to deploy/collect a pontoon, with a Buffalo MSEV and some kerbals on it (along with some supply boxes), whenever a trek is underway. The landing gear idea, stated by @Chemp, is a very good idea that I am going to use now that I heard of it. However, I plan to power the pontoon with an electric propeller, provided by KAX.
  11. Matuchkin
    Well, have fun making a decommissioned missile cruiser an airboat. I'll explain.
  12. Matuchkin
    I might make a crane, to haul a boat off of my ship, haul trucks, kerbals and supplies into the boat, haul said supplies off the boat once the boat gets to shore, haul all that back on the boat days later, return to mothership and haul the boat with all its supplies back on, and continue the journey. Also, may I use infinite fuel and pretend I have an electric engine, if I still stock up on RTGs and solar-panels? If not, I'll have to wait until boat pack r4 comes back again (or until someone decides to create a mod).
  13. Matuchkin
    Yeah, I calculated also. I'm prepared for 5 months of travel.
  14. Matuchkin
    Why not just add sections, for different mods or bodies? That's what I'll do if I was you.

    Woke up today, everything outside the house was frozen. And that was after two days of summer weather. WHAT A NICE DAMN SPRING.
  16. Matuchkin
    I could imagine your avatar doing that.
  17. Matuchkin
    Well, it should be quite simple. The rules for a Kerbin elcano would certainly classify under Earth.
  18. Matuchkin
    By the way, @Azimech, how do I download WW2 Warships and Big Ships? I had several problems, so I'd just like to confirm.
  19. Matuchkin
    I told the staff dangit wasn't a good idea. They couldn't revert, they were playing career.
  20. Matuchkin
    Rendezvouing, not starting a career.
  21. Matuchkin
    I ask the exact same question. The reason is: because of the amount of time I'll be spending traversing large expanses of water, and the amount of boredom that may surface in my Elcano, I aim to accomplish it like an "expedition". I set various trek points around my routes, at which I will be disembarking and exploring the surroundings. On my polar route, for example, I will be doing such exploration in the Baffin mountains, Novaya Zemlya, and various locations in Antarctica. I will also be setting camps in multiple points such as the sandwich islands. The question here is, am I allowed to modify my boat to have a second vehicle and portable camp equipment? Am I allowed to disembark for extended time periods in certain locations, as long as I return to the ship?
  22. Matuchkin
    All too correct. The game should really be narrowed down to only a few hundred stars. There is no point in making it so big.
  23. Matuchkin
    Since I see that the opinions and discussions have ended, and that I am fairly ready with my ships (fairly), I have put up a poll for option 1,2, and 3. Nevermind, that option doesn't exist for some reason.
  24. Matuchkin
    ha ha haha hahaha ha

    Wow, where do you live? My house is in the middle of a huge suburban community, outside Toronto. I have never seen people who live in those kinds of places. Anyway, my spring isn't going so well...
