  1. I wish the locked camera view would apply to Kerbal EVA as well. It would really give you that dizzy feeling of weightlessness in space
  2. When I survived a landing to Minmus (only the command pod survived) but it was the first time I realized I was just starting to get a grasp of astrodynamics. I must have taken about 30 screenshots
  3. I had this same orbit a few months ago when burning to encounter Ike. I called it a "lasso orbit"
  4. Hadgas Kerman. He's probably the KSP counterpart to NASA's John Young who, while on the moon, said over a live feed "I got the farts again." After drinking too much orange juice in space
  5. - Revert Flight only $0.99, or one (1) free revert after watching this advertisement. - Double your Isp for 24 hours for only $2.99! - Add a quarter tank of fuel for $1.99 or fill your tank for $3.99 *POPULAR* *BEST VALUE* - Skip ads permanently from Jeb's Junkyard for $3.99 Just kidding, guys. Squad has been great at not shoving paid DLC and releases down our throats, but this was just too good to resist
  6. This reminds me of the Tilt-a-Whirl spacecraft a la "The Explorers"
  7. Thanks for the (entirely constructive) feedback and it was very welcome. I wouldn't ask for feedback if I didn't want to get better Just want to note that I own absolutely nothing in those clips, I just spliced other people's music and sound effects to create something I use personally for immersion purposes. Copyright issues go without saying. It's not like I expect Squad to include these in the game. I borrowed the soundtracks from powerful film scores that I felt sounded like good launching scores and that a Sound Designer more qualified than myself could make something better. I just use these for my own personal use along with the Chatterer mod which I think is excellent. It really immerses me into the game. You're right about the speech. I did try to "Kerbalize" the speech, but my attempts just made it sound like Satanic chipmunks screaming. I took to some of the Kerbalese rules and just reversed some Spanish but again, it sounded weird. I just might borrow some clips from Chatterer and modify them. I agree about the English, the Preflight Systems check was purely there for effect and immersion. I would watch Russian rocket launches entirely in Russian and it would still give me the same vibe, but maybe that's me As for the volume? You're right also. It's way too loud. I think the word awesome is overused these days, but I cranked the volume specifically on the sound of the crackling SRBs to create that feeling of pure awe at a rocket launch. You wouldn't be able to hear your own voice if you were yelling at the top of your lungs. I also wanted to compliment (maybe even mask) my own KSP rocket sounds. Maybe I should have just turned my rocket SFX down in KSP, haha!
  8. EVA: (3) Jetpack controls simultaneously operate ship controls, making it impossible to reenter vessel. *Pulls hair out*
  9. We ALL love our Orange-Suits Jeb, Bill, Bob and Val. No one likes killing them (Maybe Bill and Bob, but that's just me Even with our dime-a-dozen White-Suits, we still have our favourites. Wouldn't it be something to be able to promote White Suits into Orange Suits given sufficient experience to join the Elite? Also, promoting Orange Suits into "Business Suits" to be the future Administrators of the Kerbal Space Program? Another point would be that Kerbals should retire after a number of years, needing you to level certain Pilots/Engineers/Scientists to fill empty positions, giving you certain benefits based on their Courage/Stupidity/Badassery
  10. Kerbs, I've searched for this bug but haven't found anything. Has anyone else been on EVA, only to find that jetpack controls spin the craft as well? I've been on a synchronized ballet/wild goose chase on 4 separate occasions, trying to re-enter my ship. It's happened so many times that I've opted to play on an earlier version just to avoid losing my mind. Anyone?
  11. Check out "Alternis Kerbol". A little buggy, but a breathtaking mod, you'll find comets there
  12. Does anyone else want some kind of launch soundtrack? I love the new 1.0 aero, which definitely keeps your attention during a launch, but something a little more hair-raising, edge of your seat is needed. I made these from pre-exisiting songs/sound effects and spliced them together. Check them out and give me some feedback!
