    First Flight (Epilogue and Last Thoughts)

    in KSP Fan Works

    Posted

    And so it ends... the story that went so far beyond the bounds that "KSP fan fiction" usually implies, and of course I don't mean that in even a remotely negative fashion. This isn't a story built from the Kerbal Space Program universe, this is the First Flight universe.... that happens to have names of a few celestial bodies, people, and businesses borrowed from KSP. Just like everyone else, I'm incredibly sad for it to be over, but gratified to have been on the journey along the way.

    But I have just one question: 
    When can we expect the film adaptation and officially licensed Extended Universe novels? ;) 

    It's honestly an unexpected and undeserved honor to have my username put in the closing remarks of this, just for a few trite comments I made along the way. Thank you again for the thousandth time, KSK.

     

    and on the EU novels note: yes, I am aware of Jake's sequel on Spacebattles, I've only read it about a thousand times too. :)

    It took nearly 7 human years and a story most likely exceeding the length of all but the longest tomes in existence, but the Kerbals are finally an interplanetary species.

     

    Thank you so much KSK. I have no idea how long I've been reading First Flight, but it's been since pretty close to the beginning. It's been pretty much the only reason I've ever come on the KSP Forum in the last few years.

    Can't wait to see this all wrapped up, one last time.

    In that case, it's time to introduce my entry: the Fat n' Fast!

    The Fat n' Fast is named quite appropriately. It is quite wide for it's comparative length, and is faster than even Jeb's wildest dreams.

    It also puts on quite a show, using the last of it's fuel to make some large and dramatic (yet harmless) fireworks.

    Powered by sixty-two Sepratrons, it just barely comes under the solid fuel limit, at 496.

    Instructions:

    1. SAS on. Like probably every other entry, it is not too stable without it.

    2. Ignite and enjoy the show.

    3. Right after the "show" ended with a boom and a shimmy, the fuel should be exhausted. Stage to chute-brake at your soonest convenience.

    As far as I know, wheels no longer work for stock bearings in 1.0...

    One mo, I'm gonna talk to Kasper about something...

    You don't have to use wheels for bearings. My "Big Orange" a few posts up just trapped the ends of a Jumbo 64 tank with XL girders, precisely tuned to where its loose enough that the tank can spin freely, but tight enough that it can't bounce enough to break out (that's the idea anyway).

    Of course, you never gave me credit for it..... ;)
