ack. The main issue I'm having is that TAC LS doesn't actually have a greenhouse. It has recyclers and stuff for everything else but no greenhouse or other parts for super long duration missions. Coupled with my general inexperience with mods, that means.... issues. Does anyone know of a decent mod that adds greenhouses to TACLS?

ooooh.... that overstressed rule change changes things..... I wonder though if the DAV, evac (assuming there are two), and shuttle can all be the same thing. My logic says yes..... Also this is a really minor niggle - In the last section "There a benefits to.... (LS mods and what not)". Is that meant to be "There are benefits ..."?

You know xkcd? A username of four random letters? Yeah sorta took that idea and did that.

I've made a a couple plastic model kits. Mostly jets. (F 18 and SR71 are by far the best ones I've made) . I also tried making one of thosemetal earth kits for a tank..... Didn't go so well

Oh ok that makes sense. Yeah I could see that being exploited quickly. Although on the other hand might also not fufill a large number of achievement points. You could in theory for orbital do a kerbal days (up to 5 kerbals) or something like that. IDK. I can see the staying true to the original part though so maybe best to just let this rest.

I wonder if you've considered podding the rapiers and NERV's some how above and below the wing each 2x radially symmetric. Doesn't have to be a lot above or below, just enough not to clip the wing I guess. I would also think about flipping the wing the other way around maybe to get more of the lifting surface closer to the COM. Would disturb the COM though I guess.....

Ooh nice models. Also like the little backstory and pictures. Seems like this should all be classified knowledge or rumors. Probably rumors.

@Death Engineering - Thanks for the clarification. I think actually orbital and Ike points could be neat. For orbital, something like 1/3rd or 1/2 the kerbal-days in orbit. I imagine that it could be used for like orbital observation or more microgravity experiments or something of that nature. Not quite as much as an actual person on Duna, but having some value (after all, space agencies do have mars observational craft for some reason right?) Ike, I'm not sure how to factor in. Might be best to pretend Ike is not worth it..... Or maybe have a 0.7 multiplier? Something like that could work though its hard to say how it would all balance in. As for the SLV - Yeah I think you are correct in saying that more contingencies are possible with the smaller launch vehicles (you can't lose literally everything if your rocket blows up....) and allows for changing things more often, but the orbital assembly is what turns me off mostly. Not that I can't do it, its more like I dont really want to do it. Both though are probably equally hard to plan just in terms of mass budgeting (some of which might have to go to docking ports and stuff if you do go for a smaller SLV) Already thinking out how I'm going to do it..... which is made trickier by all the different requirements and also LS....

I have to do this. I think I'm going to go with TAC LS for the whole life support thing because I suspect it would probably be easier than that whole ore dumping thing. And I have some experience with it. I'm also super tempted to just make a mega launcher to do ALLLL the things in one or two shots. Assuming I take advantage of all the Hohmann transfer windows that means I have to stick everything within 150 or so tons..... which I think is how I'll do that. Mostly because there's no reason not to do in orbit/transit rejiggering and I'm not sure how much advantage I'd get from smaller LVs....... actually need to go and do some calculations (which I've never actually had to do for ksp..... O_o) EDIT: huh...... (info spoilered for those wanting to do maths themselves... and to not ruin things for others... DONT LOOK IF YOU DONT WANNA KNOW!!! ) edit deux - I also just realize such a long mission gap will make station keeping harder though as more mass would have to be dedicated to LS... but it would be the same anyways so.... probably doesn't matter. and also that whole over-stressed thing..... edit the third - derp didn't read it carefully enough..... Do wonder though - Is On duna like actual boots on duna or just in duna SOI?

Even surpassing like... The wheel? And also that newfangled iPhone thingy? Oh and what about a pointed stick?

Probably should..... might also just heal on its own IDK.

Stung by some insect on the foot. Now my ankle is decently swollen and in pain. Seems like there's a nice amount of fluid around the joint. So been spending a while hobbling around the house over the weekend. Have to go places tomorrow so.... That's gonna suck.

Alternatively, you could make a toggleable dV readout able to be switched on and off in the settings.

Made a neat rocket with hinges and stuff. Doesn't quite work though... needs more dV....

Seems about right for the shape.

It does thanks.

For the first time in a decent bit, had a vivid dream Somehow started out with a super awesome sleeping bag (cause I was looking for one...). Something happened, then my mother came home with both of the guinea pigs we have. For some reason, she used them as actual guinea pigs in a biology experiment injecting some drug or something. (No idea why, mother isnt even a biologist....) However,she accidentally injected the one in the brain instead of the leg with maybe sleepy kinda thing (again, no idea why). This was (in dream time) a couple days ago. Then later in the dream, the one guinea pig died as I was holding it. Or I think it died. Yeah that wasn't so fun.

Yeah guess it is. i swear though.... something is either funky with that mobile editor or my eyes deceive me. And I trust my eyes pretty well.....

Heh? I dont get it.......

Ok. That does still seem to be the case... I also noticed your test post where the 14 pt font looked fine. Testing it myself it seems nothing has changed either. Looking at it again I wonder if the mobile editor for some reason has the font size bumped up slightly for the default? Maybe? I could just be going crazy though....

The default text size setting. I seem to remember that it used to be 14 but now the 14 size text looks a tad smaller than the default (used earlier) while 16 looks ok. So I'm pretty sure it's not a zoom issue @CatastrophicFailure. It could of course just me having a brain fart though......

It is.... Having built a tacit blue before for the xjet of the day, I can definitely say the cockpit was the hardest part as well as the tail. Everything else was fairly easy because of the boxy shape

Here's your infinity! Chop it up as you like. I'd like.... Some text?

Hey uhh was the default font size bumped up recently from 14 pt to 16 pt? Sorta feels like it but I'm not sure.

Why not give it then? You're already halfway to being adopted by the cats adopting the cats.
