  1. Love the parts!! They look a lot of fun...

    I did maybe have a suggestion? I was thinking about how the decouplers work when used with say a satellite probe you want to leave in an orbit. 90% of the time you will need a decoupler to detach the probe/sat from the main vessel, but then the probe/sat has got a decoupler still attached to it whilst it floats about being a satellite. >:( this makes me angry...

    I was thinking maybe a decoupler which is more like a claw that grasps the probe/sat from the top like a hand, so when it comes to decoupling the claw/hand opens letting go of the probe/sat.

    The same claw decoupler could then also be used to pick up small items like Mun rock and even landed pods!

    This could all be not possible, but I\'ll leave that for you guys to decide, as your the Aerospace engineers ;P and I\'m just a back yard rocketeer.

  2. Ok so I never got round to posting the other ships :o

    BUT I have made a video! ??? ;D

    Although the reason why I never got round to posting the ships is mainly down to getting carried away playing the game.

    So at the beginning of the video is what I had been doing instead ;P and followed by a demo of the The MonoTek - Mun Orbiter.

    Video;

    More videos to follow of the other ships and a demo of what they \'should\' do. ::)

  3. Well for the last few months (lost track) I\'ve been intoxicated by Kerbal! Since around 13.1 when I discovered KSP I soon realised I\'d love this game and that it had massive potential. Ever since I\'ve been creating missile after rocket (lots of death and explosions =P ) and trying to keep up with the \'out of this Kerbin galaxy\' fast development rate you guys at Squad are going at...Truley amazing how the game has developed, It looks stunning and plays like a charm.

    Which is why I think now is a good time to share my endeavours and creations, as i believe I\'ve created (out of many great and wonderful mods, thanks everyone who is due) 3 pretty cool ships.

    The first ship came about from all the aborted attempts and epic fails, with the want to use this certain mod :D and is officially my 1st successful and stable :-X...design.

    Spider Lander-White Widow

    The other two ships I\'ll post sometime tomorrow...... :)

  4. I just realise India are going to have their first astronaut up well before CCDev is ready. We might be looking at a China-India space race! How cool is that?

    now that would be cool..

    So if we are saying we need competition and revelry to get things done like go to the moon, all the nations should get together and organise a \'space Olympic games styley race\' where everyone gets a shuttle ready and on the whittle launch. You could even have multiple privately sponsored ships like from Virgin representing their home nations with different classes, lightweight, heavyweight etc..

    It would probably end up like a episode of Wacky Racers, but would make great viewing :D

  5. Umm, they\'ve already got their own space station, which their sending a crew to in June. Admittedly it\'s tiny, even the Chinese state press call it a \'docking target\', but the Salyut sized ones are planned to start going up just two years from now.

    ya i\'d seen the \'docking target\' ;P pretty tiny but very cool. Didn\'t relies crew was being sent up so soon, But having said that the Chinese don\'t drag their feet with things.

    i do wish all our governments could get on tho, as we would already be on Mars, instead of making everything into a competition or a race or just even a fisty cuffs. But instead of building solar powered shuttles, we build nuclear powered missiles...

  6. There\'s all types of racial and general stereotyping which mostly stems from truth but really their are only 2 types of person, people and sheeple. Id say England and America are on par with the people versus sheeple statistic, the only difference being is the sheer volume of people America has over England and the fact everything is done on a grander scale, including your food and drink. So from an outsider looking blindly in, being lead and only seeing what the media and news wants the outsider to see, you get a loud mouthed, big headed, obnoxious fat idiot who can\'t see past their own boarders... When really the people who can actually think for themselves and are generally not seen from outsiders know this to be very different.....

    ...another way of putting it is people who stereotype are usually a stereotype themselves, conforming to a set why of thinking which is placed their by someone else and not actually thinking for themselves. Slaves to society ;)

  7. I\'ve done my fair share of investigation into a whole variety of conspiracies and theories. I separate these words as some are just wako theories but others are undoubtedly conspiracies. If i was to list and explain my reasons for all the one\'s I believe are make believe fantasy and one\'s which seem to hit some truths, I\'d need my own website and server it would be that big...

    ..having said that the whole theory of the moon landings being a hoax a don\'t buy at all. The only thing I have a doubt about is some of the footage we were shown from the first landing. And that is only with the footage and not the fact they landed or not, I believe they did land on the moon.

    If anyone is interested in why I have doubts in some of this footage, it\'s got to do with my love for movies and Stanley Kubrick films.

    I do struggle to really see any motive NASA would have for faking any part of it to fool people into thinking its real except to maybe not give anything away to any rivals such as the Russians in regards to technology and how they went about it.

    ....and besides you can\'t blame people for thinking NASA are a little dodgy when telling the truth as their name does after all stands for Never A Straight Answer ;P

  8. I\'m having some trouble with the PowerSat... In the loading screen, it stops loading. It keeps thinking about the PowerSat part... (I had indeed installed the plugin, I\'m sure)

    I never had this problem with ZIP files... Maybe my computer can\'t unpack RAR?

    Download 7-zip it does every type fast. Just unpack to downloads or whereevr you want and copy over as you do.

    Whenever the loading bar gets stuck for me I just re copy the files over :D

  9. Love your parts dude. I was interested in knowing which part of the satellite controls the attitude as I\'d like to build my own satellite out of all the parts I have but really want it to point straight down, ALWAYS! I\'m going to try and put the sat directly above the launchpad in a geosynchronous orbit =P

    Oh and must have deployable solar panels as well ;P Do they actually charge anything by way?

  10. i\'ve run about three small ships out looking, i\'m trying to get a cart out there, but i\'ve never been able to get a cart safely to the mun

    I got my prototype buggy their on the test run, but whilst driving about, put the brake on too hard and did a front flip...BaBoom!!

    I spent 4 hours last night perfecting the ship so it is sturdy, easy to handle and has plenty of fuel...Doing the tests though i\'ve ended up with 5 ships just orbiting Kerbal =P

    This evening I\'ll be departing a final Cart buggy ship to the Mun and try to rendezvous with my other landed vessel....Whilst searching for a easter present ;D

  11. d\'awww teeny fuel tanks. I like turning up the crash resistance and using them as lander legs, then landing on the Mun and pretending I\'m a moon AT-AT. Also, your advanced decoupler is good to use as an altimeter when my regular one is bugged out and I can\'t judge distances correctly because of the new terrain engine. Just hover a bit and decouple! Your explosions will show you the way.

    After fixing my ship y\'day i took some trips to the Mun and the 1st 3 times I epic failed as couldn\'t judge how close I was to the surface with the new terrain. The 4th time however I used my final decent stage explosion as a marker which worked a treat...My best landing yet by far, right in centre of the massive creator :D

    I need to look into these plugins as don\'t even know what they are used for =P

    Mun buggy is in prototype stage now, nearly got it their just testing staging lol

  12. Increase the ejectionforce parameted in the config.

    BTW, this could really use an update, as it\'s old, but actually quite good.

    Thanks for reply! Will I need the SDK to do this? I\'m pretty much a novice but good at working things out, even if I don\'t really know what I\'m doing =P lol

    I love the rocket I\'ve built, and the whole design revolves around this mod, but won\'t share it or make vid untill I know it works perfectly...ocd, perfectionist or some sh..... ;D

    Lol I worked it out, was so easy as well ::)

    It was set to 4 so I knocked it up to 400 and is working great again! Nice one mate
