  1. I see what you did with the newspaper headlines... .
  2. Favorite planet pack? Well, anything by @KillAshley is going to be great, and the New Horizons mod was just updated to V2.0, with a complete rehaul of all its planets. (Well, almost all.) If you want it to be bigger (or smaller,) Sigma Dimensions is just what it says on the box - a universal rescale mod, so you can tweak size to your heart's content.
  3. Granted: They wish that you are stranded on Venus for the rest of your life. I wish that I could fly. (Pretty generic, right! )
  4. I've been having problems with making Dres oblate, the cfg is in the spoiler. Dres simply looks like it did before, no oblation at all. If you know, please tell me what I did wrong. Do I need KittopiaTech to make it work?
  5. EVESYS - A Different Alternate System. Okay, so I wanted to make a planet rearrangement ... but I wanted it to be different. So, instead of reparenting Kerbin around Jool, I reparented Kerbin to Eve. (And Pol, too, as you can see.) Still earlyish development, but I should release an acceptable first version soonTM. WHAT I'VE GOT DONE: New, improved planet descriptions! (With added humor!) All bodies have been reorbited! Kerbin, Tylo, Pol and Gilly are smaller! (Yes, Gilly is smaller, it had to fit in the ring gap.) Eve is larger! Jool is now yellow and has rings! Vall also has rings (it's a planet now!) I'm running out of exclamation marks! LIST OF STUFF TO DO (before first release): Dres oblation failed - which means I really can't write PQS... Make the sun different. Okay, so any ideas or help would be nice, but not at all required. ^- Sorry that picture isn't in line with the first one.
  6. Wow! I really like what you did with the exhaust and the gradient in the sky ... excellent work! (Sorry I didn't respond earlier, I was sleeping.
  7. I'd like the stock hexagonal satellite flag on the central booster, please.
  8. This shouldn't be too much, I hope. I'd just love to see the solar panels display the amount of sunlight they're getting as a percent rather than a decimal. (Instead of Sun Exposure = 0.73, Sun Exposure = 73%). I would be very pleased if someone could do this.
  9. This is really cool! I have a request, if that's all right. Don't forget to sleep, though!
  10. Granted: Lizard poisons Spock. I wish that I never posted this.
  11. It didn't escape, it started to get away. Val retrieved it.
  12. CHAPTER 3: VALENTINA Well, the Kerbal Records Society, or something like that, want us to go to orbit. They define it, and I quote, "Throwing yourself at the ground and missing." Well, I didn't have much of a choice, did I. That would be amazing! Wernher made a very large rocket, which was supposed to work correctly. However, it didn't - there was a structural failure with the decouplers, resulting in the bottom half of it exploding once the second stage was ignited. I snapped a picture of the destroyed stage falling back to Kerbin. Judging from its trajectory, it might land right in the pool - or maybe on top of Mortimer. That would be unfortunate, wouldn't it. However, Wernher's famous goo-chutes worked, at least. I'm not really sure if I trust that kerb, but you have to admit he's brilliant. His ego could use a bit of trimming, though. He blamed the structural failure on ME! Ah, there it is. Dres - the source of all this hype around the space center. Personally, I don't see what's so special about it; it's not any worse than the other planets or moons, it just doesn't seem too exciting. But then, I don't know that much about it. I wonder if there will be kinosaurs there. That would definitely make it interesting. Well, let's get back to the action. Wernher designed a second, supposedly safer rocket. While the interns called it a "glorified arrow with a barrel o' boom on it," it performed admirably. The second stage was a bit wobbly, but that was solved by trimming the gimbal on the engine. I didn't get to orbit, but I did get to perform the first spacewalk. I took this picture with one of those little cameras that you find in the pods every once in a while. It started floating off, and Kerbol's radiation severly distorted the photo, as it was outside the protection of the capsule. Still, I was the first Kerbal to breathe the vacuum of space... wait, no I didn't breathe it. I definitely didn't breathe it. Then I would be dead, and that would be bad. Oh, no, I'm going to be late. See ya, Val.
  13. It has been a long time since Kerbalkind invented the boat. It has been a slightly shorter, but still long time since Kerbalkind invented the airplane. But today, Kerbalkind sets it's sights on new horizons, to chart unknown lands, to boldly go... okay, I'll skip the dramatic part. I decided to finally make a little Kerbal mission report series. Each chapter (installment?) will be told from the point of view of a specific one of the Orange Suits. In addition, all spacecraft outside of Kerbin's atmosphere must only have screenshots from EVA or from inside the spacecraft. No more floating cameras. So, enjoy, everyone. Oh, and the pictures have been edited so they look like they were taken on plastic toasters. Which might be realistic, considering Kerbals. Any feedback is appreciated. CHAPTER 1 - Pg 1 CHAPTER 2 - Pg 1 CHAPTER 3 - Pg 1 CHAPTER 4 (Making Orbit) - Pg 1 MODS: ( I might add more later. ) Ven's Stock Revamp Uncharted Lands Time Control Interstellar Fuel Switch EvePlus (From Xen's Planet Collection) Sun to Kerbol Community ResourcePack Texture Replacer (With Vaporo's Blue Galaxy Skybox and Scart91's Texture Pack) CHAPTER ONE: BILL This is the known universe. One star, seven planets and a comet. Now, we didn't get this picture from a camera in space, but our fancy tracking station computers conjured it up for us. Although, admittedly, those computers could use a small update. We'd like to visit them all one day, but that day won't be today. Rather, we have our eyes set on a closer target: Kerbin's third moon, Dres. It's quite interesting, in fact. Many of our top scientists believe that it could greatly increase our knowledge of how the Kerbin system came to be. While there are some groups that claim it is "a wet, discarded mop" and "a clone of the Mun," several charitable organizations such as the Dres Awareness Society have revealed its true nature. In fact, had it not been there, Kerbin would have been bombarded by many more asteroids and may not have survived its early millions of years. By getting a better understanding of Dres, we could uncover why Kerbin has life, why Kerbin exists, and many more exciting questions. Why not go to the Mun, you say? Well, we want to go there too, but it is geologically dead, and nowhere near as interesting. This picture was taken by the ground-based Ridiculously Large and Inadequately Named Telescope, which is quite large and inadequately named. However, to get there, we need to get to space, and for that, we need to get rockets. One of the science interns found "flea barrels" lying by the side of the road, as well as a few pieces of metal. That intern, Bob Kerman, was promoted to field science. Bob wasn't too excited about that, but he agreed after much bribery with small rocket toys. And so the first true rocket was launched - the Mark I. Not the most colorful of names, but Jeb seemed to enjoy it. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen Jeb frown, or look sad or tired at all. I took this picture on an old C-15 antique camera that my grandkerb used to film the first air flight. It only seemed fitting to use it for the inaugural flight of the the Mark I. However, during the launch, there was a freak parachute deployment. Darn fleas must've been chewing on the electronics. I didn't take this picture, it was probably a spectator with a drone thingy. It's quite blurry, but it looks like Jeb's capsule is being engulfed by the flea barrel's flame. Even Gene put down his cup of koffee when he saw this. The crowd lowered their heads. Suddenly, a static roar erupted from the speakers. It was Jeb, very much alive. Fortunately, the smoke was caused by the flea barrel spinning around, rather than exploding. And the parachute worked, which was reassuring, if we could get it to deploy at the right time. This was the best picture we could get of Jeb's capsule returning to Kerbin. Rather blurry, even considering my engineering expertise. The landing was a success, and while the crowd was screaming in terror, Jeb was happily performing SCIENCE, advancing the knowledge of Kerbalkind dramatically. Bill Kerman CHAPTER TWO: JEB Well, Bill has been probably telling you about my near-death experience. Ha! It was fun! There was all that smoke swirling everywhere, and there was SCIENCE, and now I get to fly a bigger rocket... yeah! Bigger rocket, and Wernher told me it could go to space - that's 80 kilometers! I thought I should bring Bob to do better SCIENCE, but all we had was a Kerb-Kan, which is like an oversized kardine container with pillows. I might think of using some of my junkyard parts in these rockets. Bob took a picture with his camera inside the Kerb-Kan. The engine exhaust did some interference thingy with the camera that made it look fuzzy, but I don't really care; I'm a pilot, not a scientist. You'd think that there would be windows on the inside if there are on the outside, but there aren't. This definitely warrants further investigation. And then, we went to SPACE! Isn't that so cool - and look, Kerbin is actually round. Of course, I already knew that, but to see it from SPACE is just so EXCITING, and CAPITALS AND CAPITALS, ETC. The "mystery goo" apparently reacts strangely to space. It becomes brittle and clumps into a ball, so it might make some strange candy if you were to market it. Of course it might be toxic, so I suppose you shouldn't eat it. We reentered through the atmosphere, which is very shiny if you slam into it at a kilometer per second. VERY SHINY. I thought that we would have another parachute failure, but these "drogue" chutes are very interesting. They are smaller than regular parachutes, but slow you down more. Wernher mentioned something about how slathering them with mystery goo altered their aerodynamic properties, but I'm not sure if the laws of physics permit that. Again, I'm not a scientist. The picture is actually in COLOR! Isn't that exciting. New breakthroughs in technology are happening almost daily now. I suspect we'll go to Dres soon. Signing off, Jebediah Kerman.
  14. Banned for using the default font.
  15. Not for long. Waiter, there's a small and rapidly growing black hole in my soup.
  16. I like the look of this! I'd be happy to alpha test it. EDIT: Oh, and question: can you land on the planets?
  17. Everything looks good, and that's quite an impressive score. Good job!
  18. Great job! Putting you on the leaderboard. Seeing as it adds a measure of realism, and considering it shouldn't affect the results more than a few more struts, I'll say yes.
  19. EEK!!! I thought my challenge was dead, sorry for not putting you guys on the list earlier! I can smell the sarcasm here, new, shinier badges have been provided.
  20. What just happened? Ignore this post, look at the one below it.
  21. The cube root of 756058031 multiplied by the number of horns on a unicorn with two heads. Then divide that answer by the number of strings on a bass guitar if you break two. How many birds would it take to type Hamlet if each one had fifteen arms with long nails and the birds were miniature versions of John Lennon?
  22. I won't press it. Messing with the timeline is NOT GOOD! If you press the button, you either get to meet the first intelligent aliens, or you die from black hole spaghettification. 50/50
  23. Edit Kerbin's gravity to 0.0001 gees. Dock a class E asteroid to the VAB.
