  1. Well, I finally got around to finishing an older design that should comply. I'm not Imgur savvy enough for pictures, but I hereby submit the Tomcat II. https://kerbalx.com/AlexClark/X-24-Tomcat-II
  2. After being "that guy", I went back to the beginning and read the rules. Seems I will need to do some modifying before submitting. Most (see: ALL) of my fighters are in violation of at least 4 rules, maybe more. Drinking and building fighters probably wasn't my greatest idea, but I think I can trim some digital fat off one of them to comply. Look for my return, and fear thy wrath!!! Nah, I'm just kidding about the wrath thing. But I will start modifying.......now.
  3. Holy flying pigs!! I've been building fighters for months now and wished I could test them against others! For the sake of saving everyone's time, please pm me on how to enter this glorious competition.
  4. After a couple of hours with the full version, I have come to realize I have a long way to go. I can sum it up as relearning everything. Almost nothing is the same as the demo. This is going to be a long week...
  5. Fantastic. I hate paying for things twice. As far as the job goes, we're not quite ready to expand to the Golden State just yet, and this new rabbit hole I've fallen into isn't speeding that process up. However, if you can use Team Viewer, I can always use a new and cheaper IT guy!
  6. I..don't..think so? What are the first signs, other than rampant frustration?
  7. I own the company I work for, and for the past 5 days while at work, I have been locked in my office, "working on a very important project". Most of my staff have heard me cursing random, non-work related things since then, and have figured out I am in fact, not working. They do not yet know the extent of my new found addiction, but they know I am slacking off for something that at times makes me very angry, then very happy. The pregnant fiance at home is the worst though. I can't lock the door for my home office, so she knows what shenanigans I'm pulling. - - - Updated - - - Will I have to pay again for this release? I literally just downloaded the full version.
  8. This whole sentence has my undivided attention. Inverting parts and EVA's are something I have yet to attempt, and given the speed in which I've advanced in the demo so far, I'd like to learn more. - - - Updated - - - Thank you very much. Hopefully that larger world will come sooner, rather than later. I plan on purchasing KSP later today.
  9. I stumbled upon KSP after a brief Google search for exactly a game like this. Downloaded the demo, and I've been hopelessly hooked for 5 days now. Being self employed, I have the ability to screw around and slack off at work with KSP as I please, which has caused some issues. My pregnant fiance doesn't "see what the big deal about a game" is, and thinks it is juvenile. To which my response is usually "Your face is juvenile!" I am a 30 year old engaged business owner, father-to-be, and I'm an addict. Although I prefer term Rocket Surgeon.
  10. I haven't quite mastered the maneuver nodes yet, and I'm sure that has something to do with this issue, but now I have gotten into a lunar orbit! It's wide ( Ap. about 92km.) but I think I can make it work. I'm very interested in the rescue mission you mentioned. How do you go about designing a launch and return vehicle capable of that in the demo? Docking doesn't appear to be an option in the demo.
  11. It appears to be getting into the SOI in the first place is the main problem. Being it's "just the demo", returning the poor Kerbal home isn't a concern as of yet. I figured mastering the lunar orbit is priority before landing, then figure out how to return. I may have narrowed it down to a speed problem. Right heading, too much burn. Last attempt was 430km, and as Maxwell Smart would say, "Missed it, by that much."
  12. I've been using the Demo for about 5 days now, have successfully and consistently gotten to LKO, designed and successfully tested a lunar landing vehicle, and designed numerous launch vehicles capable of getting to Mun. However, I can't seem to get into a lunar orbit. Every attempt has either shot past Mun, or ends up on a very elongated orbit around Kerbal. I plan on buying the full version soon, and have researched all the different mods. I know there are many mods with the full version that will help me in this, but I'd like to get it down on my own first. Any suggestions?
