[Kerbal Space Program 1.1 Hype Train Thread.]

We have the devs involved in the hype thread now, and a page count of 69+.  It is almost impossible to post without having 3 new replies waiting to be read. what does this mean?

Hype is Definitely Happening!

[Kerbal Space Program 1.1 Hype Train Thread.]

If you become ill due to a hype-related condition, please contact emergency services, and then deploy smooth jazz.

[Kerbal Space Program 1.1 Hype Train Thread.]

T- ??/??/?? Till 1.1!

[Kerbal Space Program 1.1 Hype Train Thread.]

If you don't have a paper bag nearby, please get one, because you are probably hyperventilating.

waitaminute... would that not slow down time for me but not for the others?

Yeah, so you would have to wait less for 1.1

Devnotes incoming!

Oh my god guys.

I left for like 30 minutes, came back, and there were 155 new replies.

I clicked the "load first 155 posts" button AND MY BROWSER CRASHED.

GG.

#1 Rule of the hype thread: Don't leave the hype thread.

[Kerbal Space Program 1.1 Hype Train Thread.]

We have hit page 60!

[Kerbal Space Program 1.1 Hype Train Thread.]

The hype is peaking as we approach dev-note release.

..first class Steam buyers.. grumble..grumble...

Someone needs to warn all KSP buyers to not buy from a second class source.

Hype is reduced by arbitrary labeling of where you bought the game.

How many yotanewtons do hypethrusters output

 

I'm curious as to see if I can find the mass of the train

0-infinite, depending on how much hype there is.

Speaking of Terminus, what would Isaac Asimov have thought of KSP?

[Kerbal Space Program 1.1 Hype Train Thread.]

Verdana is a good hype font. It certainly is less speed-reducing than Comic Sans.

[Kerbal Space Program 1.1 Hype Train Thread.]

Shakespeare himself couldn't write something as entertaining as this thread.

This thread is hilarious.

A Hype Resuscitation team is on standby, and will step in if anyone passes out from hype.

[Kerbal Space Program 1.1 Hype Train Thread.]

The hype is too fast to post without getting a notification before you finish typing!

[Kerbal Space Program 1.1 Hype Train Thread.]

The hype increases

Riots begin in our wake

1.1 will come.

 

I'm horrible at counting syllables, so this may or may not be a haiku.

[Rate the Weapon Above]

0/10, no photo

This is the Molecular Disruption Device (also known as the "Little Doctor") from Ender's Game. Basically, it creates an expanding area where electrons can't be shared. The more stuff it ruins, the more powerful it becomes. So, it's a planet killer of sorts.

"1.1 is coming" - all those guys on that ice wall.

[What would happen if Grey Goo (self-replicating nanobots) got out of control?]

I would assume they would take over part of the earth, and then we would do one of 3 things: 

1. Nuke it. Nuclear weapons would be able to destroy all grey goo in the immediate area, and/or fry a bunch of them with the resulting electromagnetic pulse.

2. Destroy them with fire. Lots of it. Napalm seems like it would be pretty effective, since you can deploy it out of range of the goo, and it is self-spreading. In addition, it could be used to impede the path of the goo.

3. Use the kill switch any sane and rational engineer or scientist would include in the design.

Those posters have been posted literally everywhere here....

True, but now it's even easier to find them. 

[If you could go anywhere in the solar system where would you go?]

I would go to either Titan or Io.

Also, NASA has Travel Posters.

Cooling could be an issue, though.

If we add a quad-phased entrophy inverter with a thermally-induced Theta-field reactor hooked up to it, then it should be sufficiently cooled. By the way, the nuclear-chained energy compression dampener requires something to prevent resonance cascades from shutting down the whole thing's power grid.

We need a thorium/thaum capacitor to route the hydrodynamic influence, or it will be uncontrolled, leading to greater specific outpulse.

We could leave it as it is and just include a tri-dimensional electrostatic dispersal unit, which usually prevents increases in specific outpulse. Of course, that's assuming the Casper-Avery theory of field unification is in fact applicable.

[GENUIS TECHNOLOGY]

The only problem would be Chekov Radiation from the from the interaction between the asdermatum and melotetramine gel. We don't want any of that happening or some random, normally unnecessary part will inevitably fail when it becomes important.
