Can I have the savefile for tonight? I'm thinking of adding a few micro-refineries that smaller planes can fly to to refuel. How does that sound?

You can get up to x4 physics time warp by using the alt key. This challenge has been done once or twice before, but is still decently original.

I'm thinking of trying to make a "dragster" style design, with the boosters being mounted above a spaceplane to keep it stable. I'm thinking of something like quad or tri dual big orange and a twin boar boosters, all connected together with a frame (separate ones might exceed 20km away while landing) and semi-propulsively landing with parachutes to keep it pointed in the right direction.

The main issue I see with full reusability is that in the standard SpaceX Pod renters, first stage lands, the second stage would have issues with reentry. I want to see an engine that can have those temperature variations (Firing-Vaccum-Compression Heating) and still be worth returning. Maybe you could get some sort of extendable shroud, but that would really cut into payload weight.

Perhaps. But this is still about spaceflight while the lounge is fully off-topic. And, it's social science and the signals go through satellites so we can view it!/s

After the general wikipedia and wikimedia commons things show up, and maybe nasa.gov, then half of the images sources are from MOONLANDINGREEE.com. This doesn't happen for the general searches, only for images. EDIT: This seems to happen more with more obscure space subjects or uh... shall we say controversial scientists or engineers. Tin-foil hat maniacs love von braun for some reason. I was doing an infographic and essay on von braun so I saw lots about how "NASA IS EVILLL VON BRAUN REEEEEEEE". It's kinda weird how half the same people who say that nasa is evil because of von braun are also holocaust denialists, which is rather contradictory (But lets not talk about that because then my thread will catch on fire).

What mod is that jet from? It doesn't look B9.

IIRC they blow the rotors off a split second before.

I remember lurking on the original a little bit, but now I can actually participate!

You can go into steam, download the game and then right click on the game, select properties, click local files and select "browse local files". Then copy these files out of steam and delete steam.

Wait, can you move with drill in the ground, and if so, do they still function? Perhaps we can get infinite very low alt flight on jets?

I am against having kerbals effect any stats directly other than mining and maybe a few other things complex enough for that to be a viable abstraction. However, piloting and engine thrust or efficiency are the core parts of the game and therefore do not need that kind of abstraction.

That should actually be a thing. EU4/CK2 or Vic2 mod?

It's not SQUAD doing the port's, it's a third-party company. SQUAD does not have much control over how fast ports go.

I'm wondering whats going on here: http://imgur.com/a/WJIeZ

Don't think I've ever heard of it. There is scott manleys "Interstellar quest" from right when I started playing though.

I had a plane in ~.23 reliably fling a parachute so fast that the numbers on the speedometer went off the screen.

Pick two: Pretty, Correct Scale, Part Setup, Handling. If it's at the correct scale, with the correct engine size and position, you can't make it pretty, because junos only have 20kn. Make it the correct scale and be pretty? Now it has 40 clipped junos, with the handling suffering because of it. Find me a KSP craft that you can say fits all of these.

Yeah.

You cannot land anymore.

Don't clip them.

Not allowing pilots to paint over thousand dollar per every 5cm2 anti-radar paint seems like a good idea to me.

Wow. My friends cousin did it with a garden hose and some little hydraulic pipes. He had to run the hose through the mailbox to attach it to the outdoor hose when he was evicted cause he spent all his money on a PC crashed at my friends house. A random homeless guy came and cut it to steal as much of it as possible. He repaired it by buying some of those metal bendy pipes under your sink in the uncut version and now has a 50m armored cooling system.

Too suggestive for fighter pilots!!? These are the same people who still want to paint naked ladies on their planes...

Only one person there could play. And then it turns out he is from N.K. and we just turned him off forever.
