  1. I think the tech for electric cars still has a ways to go before it can beat hydrocarbon trucks. If it was a "regular" truck that could drive itself, it might have a chance.
  2. My dream car is one that can drive itself while I sit back, relax, and think about how cool it is that I live in The Future.
  3. I noticed pe is used as an abbreviation for periapsis, I think that should be added too. Pe Ap AN - Ascending node DN - Descending node Apparently those all work, so ignore this.
  4. Well, I have a friend who's afraid of butterflies, so antennas doesn't seem that weird to me. You should change the thread title to reflect that it's an easter egg idea/joke, because us scientists take everything literally from only what is given, making absolutely no assumptions, and sarcasm is not easily conveyed through text.
  5. Huh? Where did you hear that? Unless you have a fear of antennas...which I have nothing against, but "survival horror" doesn't quite match up with what I've heard about the antenna overhaul and part beautification planned for 1.2.
  6. Wouldn't that be cute! I think it would also be pretty useful for really tiny probes.
  7. Because Kerbals are messy and somehow manage to dump bucket loads of rocket fuel on every_single_part.
  8. @Curveball Anders true, it would require a tremendous amount of rework. What do you think would happen if KSP was made a VR game? Would it be too hard to play comfortably, too taxing on the computers, some other problem that would make it a bad game to put on a headset for?
  9. Pfft, this was at like 12 km. I lost all of my velocity and basically had to start my ascent over again 10 km higher. Still made it to orbit with a huge margin.
  10. Once, I had a 3.75m diameter heavy launcher with a tall payload flip 3 times and still make it to orbit with fuel to spare.
  11. I think all the VAB/SPH mechanics could be made to work quite comfortably with hand controllers like those on the Vive. Imagine picking up a command pod and physically reaching to place it on top of your rocket! That along with interactive RPM buttons would make for a very cool experience. One could have an exterior "control panel" for controlling the craft while in external view as well. All this is quite a lot to ask, and so while I'd be really excited for it I think we'd have to wait a good while for it, and there's no problem with that. It would also be very taxing on the computer, so I suspect something of this scale would require some major overhauls and/or pulling some sliders all the way to the left in the main menu. All in all, I support VR integration in KSP!
  12. Two big FL-T tanks and a Swivel will get a small satellite or command pod into orbit with fuel to spare.
  13. When your ship starts going faster during reentry and starts pulling 10 gees prograde.
  14. 44: calling Kerbals "Kerbins" 45: calling Kerbin "Kerbal"
  15. Ok, good. That would just make it way too weird and complicated.
  16. Surely that's not for this story, right? You'll make a different thread for it?
  17. Only one rule may be posted each day.
  18. So it doesn't have to walk. Why do planes beep all the time?
  19. MNions: All the minions talk with a strong Minnesoh-tan accent, don'tcha know.
  20. Banned for being easily distracted.
  21. Not yet! Wait for it... @KasperVld will be here soon™ Edit: lol I just realized I am basically the lord of all things cubic on this forum, including dice.
  22. Ooh...I like it! I'll add a rule: No two consecutive rules may begin with the same word.
