Honestly, I'm more than satisfied with 1.0.5. By the time 1.1 comes out, I know I'll enjoy it because they took extra time to make it. Besides, have YOU ever developed a game? Ever had to update it? It takes work to rewrite the entire backbone of the game. Cut them some slack.

Are interplanetary rovers possible in 1.05?
Choctofliatrio replied to ExtremeSquared's topic in KSP1 Discussion
[quote name='Dispatcher']Well, not with stock wheels and chassis parts. They just are not large enough to give you the traction you need when driving from one world to another. :blush:[/QUOTE] XD But yeah, I think you're right. My rover was halfway from Kerbin to Duna but then its tires blew out. A real shame. -
How long have you kept a vehicle design?
Choctofliatrio replied to DunaRocketeer's topic in KSP1 Discussion
Really no reused vehicles from game to game, but I have reused some rockets to take landers to Minmus, as well as a few satellite launchers -
[quote name='Fenris']o/ Ha, I do that all the time. Even if I'm watching someone stream I'm clicking on the screen and trying to rotate the view so I can see what I want. Once or twice while watching streamers I've hit the "M" button on my keyboard to look at the orbit or intercepts, completely forgetting I'm not the one playing ..... I seem to remember a bug like this awhile ago where I had one rocket that would constantly blow up at around 30k on takeoff. F3 would always show something striking the launch pad, weird thing was that all my other rockets never had that problem, it was just that one.[/QUOTE] Yeah, sometimes the game gets wonky with individual rockets. One time I had a rocket that crashed the game whenever I loaded it in the editor. It was moderately sized, but not too big. Sometimes the game had a bad habit of just loading said rocket whenever I opened the VAB, crashing immediately.

[Updated September 27th] A Planet Divided: The Story of the Kold War
Choctofliatrio replied to NQMT's topic in KSP Fan Works
This is seriously an awesome story. At first, I rooted for the USKK, cause, you know, Jeb, but now I kinda like the other guys (forget the acronym) more. Interesting choice not having Jeb fly any rockets, but I like it. Bravo! -
Speaking of haul contracts, am I the only one getting ridiculous contracts that would never be worth the time? Like hauling a Flea SRB up to 50,000 meters and going at 2,200 m/s

What is Reputation? The Forum Kind
Choctofliatrio replied to Choctofliatrio's topic in Kerbal Network
[quote name='Gaarst']No, there is no way you can lose rep (except if a moderator takes it away from you, but unless you cheated it, this is not going to happen). Some time ago, negative rep existed in the forum; but after a dark story involving the Nemesis of one of our beloved moderators, it was removed...[/QUOTE] Okay, thanks for telling me :) -
[quote name='jackdown']Trying to transport Jeb's statue ;) [URL]http://i.imgur.com/7ZjsiC9.jpg[/URL][/QUOTE] We must praise the almighty Giant Jeb. Yesterday, I started a new career mode. For some reason, I'm having an embarrassing amount of trouble getting into orbit with no building upgrades... I unlocked the LV-909, so that helps, but I neglected to get any radial decouplers. In my last attempt, I was just a few m/s of Delta V short.

Does giving reputation reduce your own? -
My first "big" mission, before I got good enough at the game to plan Mun encounters (I sucked at the game. Still do), was to send a probe into VERY close orbit of the sun. I used an ion engine for the entire burn to reduce my periapse and apoapse. It was AWFUL. The whole day I had it running, checking in. I think I gave up when periapse was still like a couple hundred thousand meters from the sun. Just... awful.

What does giving somebody reputation on their post do? Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, Idk where to put questions about the forum.

[quote name='Overland']Its not cheating... But it is harrassment and discrimination.. See the way I see it.. KSP is a steam game mostly...one of the best selling ones... So whoever thought it would be awesome to have ugly blue and red lines grow from your spaceship when you just want to take a steam linked screenshot...I think had thier head screwed on backwards that day.. Yes it can be changed but its an affliction effecting many less savy of the PC master race..Perhaps itlll appear when you press...up... On the xbox edition :) Furthermore.. The ugly yellow text that then without any grace.. Applys itself to said screenshot turning beautiful vistas of trees..trains and mountains into a questionably titled captions.. In my case that trains wont fly willingly nor safely while blue and orange triangles dance around the wheelsets seemingly taunting my poor locomotive that galaxy railways she is not... Saddens me greatly Is it cheating? Well if I wanted to ruin a beautiful screenshot with inapproprate text... I would simply create a meme :) Indeed...perhaps it is one.. Im waiting for the day that the internet is filled with memes..each scribbled with blue yellow and red lines...covered with "aerodynamic forces" display text But...for willingly diagnosing aircraft suitability.. Nope not cheating and why does it matter? ;)[/QUOTE] Oh man... ruining screenshots.. happened to me far to many times. Eventually I just bound aero forces to F1 or something, free to screenshot in peace.

How 'environmentally conscious' are you?

[quote name='Aperture Science']Environmentally conscious, eh? [URL]http://i.imgur.com/OmyV3.png[/URL][/QUOTE] ... *Hands you crown made of trash and toxic waste* You win Pollution. Hey, everyone always wanted Kerbin to have rings, right? Right? -
How 'environmentally conscious' are you?
Choctofliatrio replied to mangekyou-sama's topic in KSP1 Discussion
Um... I recover crashed planes? But seriously, for the most part, I am pretty messy. Stages left in orbit, accidentally broken landers, shattered Mun rover debris, it's enough to make a Greenpeace member's brain melt. -
Put the Frostbite 1 lander in Minmus orbit, gonna land tomorrow if I have the time.
