Red Shirt

Apologies DarkOwl57 for the poor timing. Wanted to share one of my favorite bands from back in the day playing a Buddy Holly classic.

I'm not sure why I am so fascinated by this thread. I have no mod or Emiko Station to worry about. My opinion is it is unlikely T2 will offer clarification - because lawyers. It is their ballpark and their ball. They control the game. On the other hand, this is a niche game with a small player base. T2 is extremely unlikely to alienate the core, especially the modders who have made the game more than it was imagined. There is little precedent to suggest any of the fears will come to pass. There is much history to suggest the work of the modders will continue to be encouraged. I may be totally wrong. I just can't conceive of any reason or financial benefit to T2 by enforcing stuff that destroys the game.

Hey, I'm still maintaining my WifeMod. Hands off I'm a big fan of mod it til it breaks and I'm not totally broke yet.

Woke up with this oldie in my head:

The very first bank loan I ever had was for stereo components. Most of it was Pioneer - that was pretty much the name in home equipment at the time. I haven't even seen components in years. The loss of sound quality today doesn't seem to bother anyone but us old guys - and yes all my stuff has been ripped to play on my computer or phone.

I am not as 'the sky is falling' as most here but understand keeping a cautious eye out. I'm also not a lawyer and tend to glaze over when reading this stuff. Disclaimers out of the way, it seems to my uneducated guess that if you publish a mod on github or elsewhere with a license attached then post a thread about said mod with your license info then you are safe. Unless I'm missing something the mod does not exist on this forum. With fan fiction, if you start a blog and post your chapters there first you should retain copyright. I really think you are safe anyway. I suspect T2 is not stupid and wouldn't alienate an established community. I do have some concern that DRM (is that the correct term?) might be added. I never run my game through Steam. I have crappy limited internet and would likely no longer update KSP beyond my current 1.3.1 install if I had to be connected to the internet to start the game. I generally only use one install but I do have all my old versions saved.

When you're watching a Bundesliga game where the temperature in the stadium is right around freezing. Everyone in the stands has on a heavy winter coat. During a close up shot you see a girl wearing her massively oversized hood. There is plenty of light colored pleated material inside the hood on either side of her head. Immediately you think Val is at the game.

I'm that way with Halo type games. Truth is I'm not interested enough in the content to figure out the controllers. Original Wolfenstein 3D had a joystick and 4 buttons. Why do I need 42?

My son bought it for me after my wife saw him playing it and thought I'd like it. This was back at version 0.23. I've told that part before. What I haven't touched on was that I had recently been retired on disability. Translation, I had all day to play. It kept me sane and depression free during my life transition. My son had the demo version as well so I had him copy it and I gave it to four friends who I considered space nerds who played games occasionally. Of the four, one never bothered to open it. One quickly gave up. Two stayed with it a short time. One stayed long enough to launch straight up into an orbit around the sun before quitting. The other I wrote instructions on how to get to orbit. He said it was too hard and 3 pages of instructions on his smart phone proved his point. Oh well, I tried. The learning curve was too steep for him.

I was born before Gagarin went to space. I was in second grade before we had indoor plumbing. When I was a kid we had three channels on the TV. They signed off the air around midnight. We had to go outside to turn the antenna. Good times. I was in college before the Atari 2600 came out.

I no longer have doubts;

So today I put on headphones and started going through my collection. While playing The Vibrators - Pure Mania album, from my punk/new wave days, it got me thinking about my influences. As a young teen I was listening to a lot of K-Tel 22 original hits by the original artists type stuff (Brandy you're a fine girl). Then one day while looking through my tape club catalog I saw Iggy and the Stooges - Raw Power. What is this? Have to have it. This began the musical journey that scared my mom. She once confiscated my records because she read the groups I liked caused all kinds of deviant social behavior. Sorry mom, it wasn't the music. It was college Kidding (no I'm not). It was actually Black Sabbath's Lord of this World that completely changed my tastes. I heard it while riding to school with a friend. I had never heard thud guitars like that. I went out the next day and bought the first 4 of their albums. I was never into drugs or devil worshippy stuff, I just loved guitars and attitude. Today I play guitar in my church praise team. You just never know where the journey will lead.

At my first post college job, I started every morning with this one cranked loud. I would show up early. Only one older guy in the office. One day he slammed his office door. He probably was hinting at something, really not sure

They used to fly (very slowly) over our house a few years ago. First time I saw them I thought we were being invaded. They look kind of... not ours, but very cool.

Never learned to like the taste of coffee. Sometimes it smells good while brewing but more often it smells of skunk to me. For me it is Chinese tea - not even close to what most Western people think of as tea. As for Sri Lanka tea make mine Earl Grey hot, one sugar. My other drink of choice is Diet Mtn Dew. Possibly the most dangerous drink on earth according to haters.

The only other time I have experienced this problem I had run out of electric.

Any chance you are making the same mistake I did by using an octo2 probe without a reaction wheel?

Hitting warp doesn't apply as mj is already auto warping at 2x at this point in atmosphere and faster in space - moving from burning to Ap and circularizing. pitch/yaw/roll stay centered while spinning. This is a very simple craft using an octo2 probe, battery, 3 Oscar B's, and a Spark (and nosecone). Add an inline reaction wheel and it works. The Octo2 has limited SAS. Maybe this tiny craft is pointing out the probe limitations that have always been there but my much bigger craft have compensated for? I've probably never built without SAS or RCS using this probe. -------------------- Edit: Once again I'm pretty sure I'm an idiot. Reaction Wheels were removed from the Octo2 way back in 0.90. Sorry for wasting everyone's time. ------------------------ Edit 2, just for the record: The reason I was able to control the craft manually was because I was using engine gimbal without realizing what I was doing. Lesson learned before complaining MJ is broke make sure you have eliminated your own mistakes first.

I can but am trying some things on my end first. Seems that if I add a small inline reaction wheel it will work with MJ. If I don't add it MJ won't complete maneuver but I can orient the craft by hand which to me means it should work.

Done. No affect. Tried using stock Kerbal X - worked fine. May be limited to unmanned probes. I tried making the craft a little bigger but still goes dead and spins. It says I have 100% signal and probe control. As mentioned this is in sandbox.

Output Log Using MJ 2.7.0 but true of at least last previous dev version. Unmanned probe creates circularize node then stops responding and slowly spins. Still has electric charge. I can disengage MJ and engage SAS and do burn myself. Playing in sandbox and there is antenna connection. Edit: tested with all mods removed except mj, mm, and mj embedded

Put a stock parts craft in orbit using only two Oscar B tanks for fuel. Want to use Mechjeb? Sure. Want to try manned? Pretty sure (s)he is going to die, but go ahead. Not sure how to score this. Probably points for lowest weight. Points for making it to space. Points for making orbit. Extra points for highest orbit. Suggestions?

I have been trying to get to orbit on two Oscar B's ever since reading this. Space was easy. Orbit not so much. A moment ago I finally clicked your link to see how you did it. Ingenious. Now I'm off to attempt to duplicate and maybe shave a little weight.

Love it. Another favorite of theirs is The Devils in my car.
