  1. Is there anyone who can update the "subway" Delta V map with these new values? http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/File:KerbinDeltaVMap.png
  2. The KSP plausibility and accuracy statement was written with tongue-in-cheek. I probably should have but an emoticon in there somewhere...
  3. Hey everyone, I just finished reading a really good book and thought I'd share it with you. It's called The Martian: A Novel by Andy Weir. The book is about an astronaut who gets stranded alone on Mars and finds ways to survive until a rescue attempt can be made. At first, I thought it would just be another science fiction book, but just a short way into it, I realized it was packed with all sorts of cool space science that I had learned in Kerbal Space Program! During the course of the story, there's stuff about orbital mechanics, ship rendezvous, EVAs, rovers, aerodynamics and a bunch of other stuff that I appreciated and understood more because I already knew it from KSP. I'm no astrophysicist or scientist, but the majority of the science in the book seems plausible, if not fully accurate (just like KSP!). Not to mention it was just a plain good read, with the right touch of humor and a couple of cliffhangers to keep you reading till the end. As a gamer, I have a short attention span. I tend to lose interest in a game after a bit and then move on to something else. Then, I'll read or watch something on TV that draws me back to a game that has related subject matter and my interest in the game is renewed. This book now has me coming back to KSP (I never really left, actually) and after reading the book, I'll appreciate playing KSP all that much more. Happy reading! Nunny
  4. Add me to this list. Solar orbit. For me, the black screen then continues back at the tracking station and/or the space center screens. A complete restart of game seems the only way to temporarily fix it. Upon restart and reload of the game, the interplanetary ship in question is either gone or still shows with a black screen again when taking control, so I'm guessing it also causes some sort of save game corruption? Sometimes, if I reload from an earlier save and try to take control, it will work, but only after multiple attempts. If I stay inside Kerbin's SOI and do not try to take control of any interplanetary ship(s), then the game runs just fine. This is a game breaker for me. I normally only play career mode, so once it's time to progress outside Kerbin's SOI, the game is useless. I am also running some mods, so I'll have to try vanilla. Also, I have not yet tested the solar panel hypothesis.
  5. Really? Because I'm seeing unpurchased parts appear "greyed out" (for a lack of a better term) in the SPH/VAB. +1 for this request. I can see where some people might like the current configuration, however, I would like the option to toggle them off as there are certain parts that I never use and by not buying them I would like to think they are not available as a choice in the SPH/VBH.
  6. Love the concept and implementation so far. When moving/updating from an older version to a newer version (in my case: 0.5 to 0.6) - the existing mods configured in the older version do not show up in the newer version. Or am I missing something?
