  1. At best? Fan development. This could also be the worst thing. Another option: It becomes unupdated and dies.
  2. Anyone else notice that a lot of the planned features have been scheduled for 1.2? This doesn't seem good.
  3. The heck is happening? My mind is racing with possible scenarios, none of them good. I'll have to read everything...
  4. The lights should be bound to the "L" button by default, like "G" is automatically gear. Makes life that much easier when landing. I'm definitely NOT too lazy to do it myself.
  5. Sorry for the delay in a new part, but technical issues reared its head, and the new part should be out before on Friday. See you then!
  6. I firebomb it, which vaporizes the water and destroys the wall. I make a bunker. My crater.
  7. Didn't he smoke while flying his plane or something, and people thought he would explode? My nomination: The guy in WW2 in the Aleutians who was flying as a waist gunner in an early B-17 without a tail turret when a Zero got onto his tail. He had the most Kerbal solution: Rotate his Browning into the fuselage, and shoot the plane through the back of his bomber. He killed the pilot of the Zero, and when he got back to base, he asked if his pay would be docked for shooting his own plane. His CO told him, "No. You're promoted because you saved your plane and everyone on board."
  8. An afterburner (or a reheat) is a component present on some jet engines, mostly military supersonic aircraft. Its purpose is to provide an increase in thrust, usually for supersonic flight, takeoff and for combat situations. Afterburning is achieved by injecting additional fuel into the jet pipe downstream of (i.e. after) the turbine. The advantage of afterburning is significantly increased thrust; the disadvantage is its very high fuel consumption and inefficiency, though this is often regarded as acceptable for the short periods during which it is usually used.
  9. Granted. You drop your phone in acid. I wish for an infinite supply of chocolate.
  10. 3/10. Does not compute. Those who teach, can't. -Taylor Mali
  11. The Hunt for Ed October. The US military tries to find Ed October, who got lost running up the Grand Canyon.
  12. You break into the Squad office, and steal all money. The next day, the Kommunity forms a huge army, and you are # 1 on the list. I wish for FoxtrotAlpha to have a new article every day.
  13. Banned for not minding our robot overlord.
  14. Falcon 9 lands on him. I send a Hellfire AGM into the window of the next poster.
  15. I want weather implemented. High winds, muddy dirt is hard to land on, the runway becomes slick when it rains. Also, there should be an aircraft carrier complete with elevators, arrestor wires, catapults, and 6,000 Kebals. Make Kerbals hold guns to shoot each other, too, with real-life gun models and bullet physics.
  16. Part Two Masters of the Air Their jets were ready and waiting when the trio arrived out of breath at the hangar. Ladders were run over and clamped down, and the pilots crawled into their cockpits. Almost instantly, the sound of jets spooling up filled the air. The Aeris 3As were little more than stunt jets with some missiles and a gun slapped on, but were a lethal enemy in a close-in fight. The canopies lowered, and everyone gave a thumbs-up. The planes were directed onto the taxiway, and the directors crisply saluted the pilots. "Flight S5, pilot check please." "Macrick ready." "Bubbles ready." "Edge ready." "S5, you are clear for takeoff, Edge is lead." "Edge taking lead. Push it!" The three planes shook as the turbojets spooled to full power. "Release!" The pilots were shoved into their seats as the planes hurtled down the runway, gaining speed. "Rotate!" With a gentle pull on the stick, Mac watched the ground sink away. "I see two bogies, 2 kilometers out." Bodvilly reported. "Bubbles, lock on the far one, me and Macrick will take care of the other one." Enroy said. A growling noise came to Enroy's ear as he brought up the missile sights. It transitioned to a high-pitched whine when the seeker head saw the enemy. He yelled into the radio, "Fire!" Bodvilly felt his plane lurch as the missile streaked away in a line of smoke, with Enroy's missile close behind. He saw a huge ball of fire followed by a shattering BOOM! as his missile connected with its target. The other plane pulled sharply up into a climb at the last moment. As it did so, all three pilots could see the outline. It was a foreign fighter made by many, and bought by many, the AirMaster. With three engines (two Junos and a single Wheesley) powering it, it could outclimb, outpace, and kill an Aeris easily. However, due to its slightly lower wing loading, the Aeris could turn faster than it, but for less time, but that small timeframe was enough to lay down enough rounds to shred the engines. Mac tried to use his gun, but the AirMaster had already started to climb like a bat off Moho. It then dived and fired two missiles at Bodvilly's plane. He went into a Krazy Ivan, and popped as many flares as he could in the little time he had, but when he tried to pull away from one missile, the other found Bodvilly's searing engine exhaust, and rammed right into it. A ball of fire erupted as the warhead exploded, and lit a whole tank of jet fuel ablaze. Enroy shouted, "Dive, dive, dive!" as Mac looked on in helpless terror. Bodvilly sent his plane into a nosedive, and did the unthinkable. A few hundred meters above the ground, Bodvilly hauled on the stick, and stalled the plane just above the ground, using his landing gear simultaneously as airbrakes, landing legs, shock absorbers, and a pogo stick. This, combined with the dive, snuffed out the flames. "Bubbles is hit and down!" reported Mac. "Bubbles is fine." said Bodvilly. Enroy pulled his plane to face the enemy. He selected "Gun" on his control panel. The lead indicator picked up the AirMaster, and Enroy pulled the trigger. He hit dead-center in the back of the plane, shredding the center engine. Only the two Junos were pushing it through the air. Enroy settled onto the left wing of the plane, and Mac stayed on its six. The enemy pilot turned to Enroy, and… saluted? Mac watched the AirMaster's gear come down. It pulled around to face the runway. Mac reported this to the tower. "Tower, be advised, the enemy is landing. We got him." All eyes were on the AirMaster as it slowly came down onto the runway. It came down so gracefully, even the Tower Boss was amazed. The plane kissed the ground, and slowed gently to a stop at the taxiway. The pilot parked the plane near the hangar door, but remained in the cockpit. Bodvilly used the emergency glass breaker in the emergency bag to break the canopy and climb out. Dropping to the ground, he saw what the missile had done to the plane. The whole engine, and about a meter around it, were gone, the new rear of the plane a charred mess, and the landing gear suspension was nonexistent. Bodvilly couldn't fathom why. He walked over to the hangar, which had conveniently landedcrashed stalled next to. He wanted to have a little word with that pilot. Enroy and Mac brought their planes into the hangar, and walked up to the foreign plane, which still contained the unknown pilot. A ladder was clipped to the side, and the pilot brought the canopy up, with his helmet still on and sun visor down. He pulled himself out of the seat, slid down the ladder, and removed his helmet. The sound of several dropping jaws were audible in the stunned silence. Bodvilly changed his mind about that conversation. The Kerbal standing before them was more than legendary.
  17. I have an old micro fighter, made just for carriers. I may give this a shot. Can I use retro rockets as an arrestor wire substitute?
  18. I personally don't have time for this tourney, but maybe the next one... *Scribbles at drawing board*
  19. Thanks! Part Two should be ready tonight.
