  1. I wouldn't. I'd like to see different biomes for inshore lakes and rivers, and preferably seperate 'biomes' at differrent depths, like with the submersible experiment in DMagic, as pressure would interact differently with experiments at different depths.
  2. I'm currently in lower sixth form, and I can recall that, even with the tutorial, figuring out how to rendezvous and dock took nine hours of hard work on the kind of computer a broke student's budget can buy. Eventually, I had to totally disregard the tutorial's instructions and figure out cancelling velocity and docking myself. A better - worded version of the tutorial would be a great idea, and one I would totally get behind.
  3. After a few days off due to being swamped in schoolwork, sleep deprivation and total burn-out, WE'RE BACK! Elizabeth - II orbital insertion Mission: Put the Elizabeth - II probe into orbit of Eve and onto a trajectory to intercept Neith. The ambitious little Small Eveian Moons Mission has arrived at Periev and is about to make its orbital insertion maneouver. Cassiopea 2 landing Mission: Land the Cassiopea 2 mission on Eve. The time has come for the first privately-owned off world lander to land. Let's hope that these students didn't mess up.
  4. I once had a kraken attack on EVA in orbit of Kerbin, which cancelled all of Pepe Kerman's horizontal velocity, and he fell from 94km. After that little incident, I downloaded an EVA parachutes mod.
  5. Crikey, that last bit had my heart in my mouth. i didn't realise I was so invested in the success of your mission!
  6. I think that it's about time to share another 'glimpse of the future' with you guys. This time, we're looking far into the future. The first time this'll fly is Year 12, on Greenwood 3. This is my prototype Duna base for my upcoming Greenwood missions, mostly made up of inflatable modules, and solar powered. With a little hope, it'll have enough life in its batteries to see it through a Dunan night. It's equipped with a greenhouse, mainly for contingency purposes, two labs, an ISRU, two habitation modules and a recycler module (again, mostly for contingency purposes). This design will support six Kerbals as the crews of Greenwood missions 3 through to 9. That's one test mission (Greenwood 3), five science missions (Greenwood 4 to 8), and one last mission to construct a permanent habitat on Greenwood 9, which will then be used as the primary outpost for exploration of the Dunan surface from Year 25 onwards.
  7. Evera 3 Arrival and Landing Mission: Arive, enter orbit around Eve, and deploy the lander. Mere days after the Eve Terrain Explorer landed, Mekosmos have rocked up and told ANSEB that this state of affairs just can't continue, and they shall now demonstrate their dominance of the Eve system. Elizabeth - I orbital insertion Mission: Put the Elizabeth - I mapping orbiter in low polar orbit of Eve. Third in this window's Eve flotilla is the KSA's first Eve mission, a mapping orbiter, which is about to enter orbit. Cassiopea 2 arrival Mission: Put the Cassiopea 2 probe into an elliptical orbit around Eve.
  8. EOTER Arrival Mission: Enter orbit of Eve, and attempt a landing. After a tense period of waiting, the highly ambitious Eve Orbital and Terrain ExploRer mission has arrived at Eve.
  9. AMV - 02 Flight 4 Mission: Go and invesitgate some anomalies detected from orbit. Crew: S2 Bob Kerman (Commander), P1 Tedgee Kerman (Mission Pilot) Today, we go looking for trouble, and choose to run away from it. WARNING: Spoilers for anomalies within. I've put them in their own spoilers within this one, just to be sure.
  10. Lauren - I Course Correction Mission: Perform a course correction for our little Moho probe to put it on course for a second flyby of Kerbol's closest neighbor.
  11. Muna 9/Munakhod 1 Launch Mission: Launch the Muna 9 Orbiter and Lander, and the Munakhod 1 rover. Launch Vehicle: R6 (O) It's high time we continued Metkosmos' long-running Muna program. So here's an orbiter/lander/rover mission. Kulak P - 1 Return Mission: Return Nauki, Maldin and Vergee to Kerbin. Muna 9 Arrival Mission: Arrive. Enter orbit. Land. Meanwhile at the KSC...
  12. Kulak P - 1 Mission: Test out the new variant of the Kulak spacecraft, and give Maldin and Vergee their first taste of spaceflight by rendezvousing and docking with the unanticipatedly well-used Pressurised Orbital Docking Target. Launch Vehicle: R-5a Crew: E1 Nauki Kerman (Commander), P0 Maldin Kerman (Mission Pilot), and S0 Vergee Kerman (Crewkerb). The Kulak is a fairly long-serving spacecraft operated by Metkosmos. It's been through two iterations already, and has flown eight missions, including two to Kerbin's first space station, Krepost 1. To add to its list of accolades, it forms the basis of the Oligarch CSM, Metkosmos' Mun ship, and took part in the first 'Interkosmos' mission with another space agency, the Half Mun - Kulak Test Project, when Kulak 4 docked with HMF - 9. Up until now, the Kulak has flown two Kosmonauts at a time in (relative) comfort. Now, the primary contractors for the spacecraft, Tantares, have figured out a way to squeeze an extra Kerbal inside the spacecraft. And so, the Kulak P varient was born. Credit for the marvellous patch goes to @DiscoSlelge.
  13. Have a look... She's actually a dream to fly. Rotates easily at 80m/s, behaves well, can continue to accelerate at a 15 degree pitch-up (she weighs 50 tons, and is using two panthers, so I'm pretty happy about that) and even performs mild aerobatics.
  14. I think that the title's referring to the crimson skybox in space, not the clouds.
  15. Lauren - I Moho Flyby 1 Mission: Flyby Moho. Harvest science. A few posts ago, I launched a small Moho flyby probe, Lauren - I. It has arrived at Moho. I am overly excited. I suppose that I should tell you lot that this is actually my first ever Moho mission, be that in this career, or ever.
  16. Yes. To the USS Scorpion (SSN-589). Lost with all hands.
  17. This talk of total (or near-total) crew loss on a ship named Scorpion seems foreboding.
  18. I'd honestly love an electric, rotating centrifuge hub, which would allow you to build your own centrifuge, and control the spin speed with a right-click menu slider.
  19. Honestly, I'd love to see improvements to the biome system. Sure, have a few large biomes, but add a couple of dozen little ones that actually require effort to get to, and perhaps give the smaller biomes slightly higher science scores, to encourage people. I'm kinda sick of just 'Lowlands, Midlands, Highlands and Poles'. In real life, you won't expect to get identical scientific results from halfway around the world from the original site. Also, as a further improvement, you could add smaller, procedurally generated 'areas of interest' where you could get slightly more science. These would have to show up on orbital scans, and some would yield more science than others. Just my thoughts.
  20. @Pretorian28715, are you some form of god? 'Cause this is shiny as hell!
  21. Blue Anchor - Black Lancer IX Mission: Launch Kerbin Outbound Expedition 2 to relieve Expedition 1. Crew: E1 Eliti (Commander) P0 Trizy (Crewkerb) Launch Vehicle: Black Lancer 1A So, after we had to give them a fifty day mission extension because we just couldn't prepare BA - BL IX in time, we finally have the crew ready to relive Janzy and Nelrim as crew of the station. Let's fly. Blue Anchor - Black Lancer VI Return Mission: Return Kerbin Outbound Ex-1 to Kerbin Crew: P1 Janzy Kerman, E1 Nelrim Kerman After 476 days in LKO, and two more days training up the next crew bringing the grand total up to 478 days, it's high time two of our most experienced Kerbonauts, and our only ones to spend more than a year in space, return home. *Yes, that is an admiring nod to @UnusualAttitude.
  22. Georgia - XV Mission: Launch a little science sat on a shoe-string budget. Launch Vehicle: Etoh So, after all those Eve launches, we're pretty tight for cash, but I didn't want to wait out the whole transfer to Eve (when we'll make a fair amount of cash off of contracts), so I built Georgia XV, a little solar-observation satellite to alleviate the atmosphere of boredom around the KSC and net us a little science. I challenged myself to build a scientific mission on a VERY tight budget. This ended up costing (if memory serves) less than 6,000.
  23. EOTER (Eve Orbital and Terrain ExploRer) Mission: Land on, and orbit Eve. Launch Vehicle: Matchstick II - CES EOTER is to be ANSEB's second interplanetary mission (its first was DOEX, a Duna orbiter). It is comprised of a Solar/Radioisotopic powered mini-lander carrying a tiny compliment of intruments, and an equally tiny orbiter. This is also the first flight of a Matchstick II, and the first use of the Cryogenic Exploration Stage (CES). This starts off the process of Kerbal - rating the Matchstick II for orbital Explorer missions. StrutCo - 1 Mission: Enter orbit around Eve, then Aden (Eve's first moon). Launch Vehicle: Black Lancer 1A StrutCo - 1 is set to be the first ever commercially owned interplanetary spacecraft. It is also set to be the first ever Argon fuelled spacecraft. And the first ever spacecraft to orbit Aden. That's an impressive number of firsts. Wow. That was actually gruelling to do. Those last two updates took over two days to put together in the midst of exams.
  24. MEGA UPDATE TIME!! Evera 2 Mission: Land on Eve. And take some pictures. Launch Vehicle: R-5a This, and Evera 3 and 4, are Metkosmos' first attempt at putting a spacecraft on the surface of Eve. The Type 2 Evera consists of a lander, outfitted with several instruments, which will parachute - land on the Purple Marble, and a support orbiter, which will provide communications for the lander. The orbiters also have a camera array aboard, capable of imaging stuff in the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared spectrums. Metkosmos are the only agency ever to successfully send a probe to Eve, with the Evera 1 mission, from several years ago. Evera 3 Mission: Land on Eve. And take some pictures. Launch Vehicle: R-5a Evera 4 Mission: Land on Eve. And take some pictures. Launch Vehicle: R-5a Cassiopea 2 Mission: Orbit and land on Eve. Launch Vehicle: Daleth 2 Cassiopea 2 is The University of Ken-Tech's second attempt at probing Eve. Their first was launched at the same time as Evera 1, but was lost to a Kraken attack about 30 days after launch. The University have decided to try and fly a tiny lander on this mission too. Elizabeth - I Mission: Enter a polar orbit around Eve and map it. Complete an Eve Ore scanning contract, too. Launch Vehicle: Muo V 211 Considering their reputation for spaceflight firsts, the KSA have been remarkably slow to launch an Eve mission. I have no idea what they've been doing. But, finally, they're rectifying the situation, and sending a GEB (General Exploraion Bus) orbiter mission. This will be the GEB 3 mission, with GEB 1 being the Katie - XX Minmus Sample return mission, and GEB 2 being the Rose - I Dres orbiter mission that's currently cruising to its target. Elizabeth - II Mission: Go and investigate Eve's second and third moons, Neith and Gilly. Launch Vehicle: Firestorm - I 412 Along with their Eve mapping mission, the KSA want to go and have a closer look at Eve's two minor moons, discovered by Evera 1 (Aden, Eve's first moon, was discovered long before Kerbalkind reached space). Little is known about these bodies, as they've only been subjected to one flyby each, by Evera 1. Elizabeth - II will attempt to enter orbit around both.
  25. I'll give you lot a brief look at the beginnings of the previously-mentioned Wind Flower Class Interplanetary Transfer Vehicle. This is the core component of the upcoming Wind Flower Class spacecraft, the Command Module. It incorporates the spacecraft's bridge, its communications array, its auxillary batteries and solar arrays, the Vehicular Airlock, and the Crew Recreation Facility.
