  1. 319. Playing "The Delta - V budget is Right" an accepted design method when making interplanetary ships. 320. We scramble rescue missions for Kerbals in orbit around other planets immediately. 321. Jeb would be bored at NASA.
  2. Granted, it happens to be a Moderator writing over my post announcing the closing of this thread. I wish i could make craft mods easily.
  3. True. I hate that which i don't know. (No idea what you mean ) The user below me has a save with a craft currently in Interplanetary orbit.
  4. Granted. On their fantastic budget, it makes a fantastic 1:200 scale model. I wish Space Tourism would become cheaper for regular people in the next 4 years.
  5. Is Alpha Centauri on the other side of the Atlantic? False, I guess. The user below me has never been to the Outer Planets (Jool, Eeloo or Dres)
  6. Here's my attempt at a Inner Planets Tour ship: Aletherium. Crew: 6 Delta-v: Around 7000-8000 m/s onboard (The lander's tank and engines skew this measurement) Delta-v Estimated Requirement: 9720 m/s T/W Ratio: 0.39 Payload: 6 kerbals, one Mylea-Class Lander with approx 1400 m/s, and 4 probes for the Inner planets. Engines: 8 NERVA Nuclear engines Fuel: 2 R-64 Fuel tanks, 2 R-32 Fuel tanks Working on pic... Can't remember how to post them anymore! The main reason i didn't include Kethane equipment on this was the T/W ratio. In order to maximize that, and Delta-v (to minimize needed Kethane equipment), i found it altogether easier to go without it. Besides, i'm not very good at making a Moho Kethane lander. PLEASE NOTE: Yes, there is no Eve manned lander. I have no idea how i would even approach carting an Eve ascent capable craft all the way there, much less on this mothership. Help appreciated! Please pm me, we don't need to overlook Proteus here. P.S. Not trying to steal your thunder here, czokletmuss. Probably start my own thread if people starting replying to me here.
  7. Granted, but you drive everyone else on earth to extinction due to starvation, as you have monopolized the food supply. Have fun doing everything for yourself! XD I wish for a man in a blue police box to come fix this mess from the above wish.
  8. True and proud of it. In fact, he hasn't been on any of my missions in a while since, but i know it's impossible to scare Jeb out of spaceflight.... Isn't it? 0_o The user below me has made a Close Call landing (running out of fuel and a few hundred meters to go.......)
  9. This is the best storywriting i've yet seen in any fanfic (Chobit has a well written backstory to her gallery, but this is gameplay ). I wish i could manage a feat like this, but right now i've only just gone to Duna and am planning my vehicle for an inner planets tour. I could ask for a few tips on ÃŽâ€v management in motherships, i don't know how you do it.
  10. Possibly true, depends on the exact latitude, but i won't ask for specifics. The user below me has never heard of the Time And Relative Dimension In Space.
  11. Granted, but there's nothing left for you by the time you arrive to loot stores. I wish i could calculate Delta-V in my head for my Interplanetary craft.
  12. Granted, but it's only because SOPA and PIPA were passed. I wish that i could photosynthesize.
  13. True, a Logitech Freedom 2.4 Wireless. The user below me is a Part Purist (no mods, no exceptions.).
  14. False. I either timewarp or don't bother with my rovers. Longest trip was 30km on 4x. The user below me has a Kerbal made object (debris, ship, etc.) on every moon of Jool.
  15. I just posted a bug report on this one. My ship was on a Trans-Munar orbit trajectory, and i decided to experiment with the EVA system. Bill climbed out, and whilst one of his crewmates hanged on a ladder outside, he began a circut taking him 10km directly away, and then back to the craft using the EVA pack only. Everything was fine until i reached about 3km from my craft. In a split second, the pink icon for my ship flew off at lightspeed in one direction, as i heard an explosion break the silence of space. My craft had apparently teleported one way, snapping my other EVA'ing kerbal mentioned earlier on the ladder off of his ladder, and instantly killing my 3rd kerbal still in the pod along with obliterating my ship, leaving 2 very suprised kerbals stranded in space. I personally blame the Space Kraken.
  16. Thanks for putting this up. I've always envied the man, and i'm sure other future astronauts like myself (i hope) will see this as a well adaquate tribute to a man already cemented in human (and now Kerbal XD) history.
  17. Hmm.... Got it! For all you Fallout fans: Drop in a quarter, and the phonebook sized shelter snaps shut. Intended for use by citizens in Washington, D.C. in event of nuclear war.
  18. Try pressing Caps Lock, it activates precision controls. I found that planes were unflyable for me until i used Precision controls (the Yaw, Pitch, and Roll icons should turn blue), and even still the sensitivity makes it touchy. Even my joystick takes only a quick accidental flick to make a spectacular failure. And, of course, for those of you who hate seeing Caps Lock turn on and off every time you play KSP, just change the button in the options menu from startup. Also, most of the takeoff fails seem to result from adding *gasp* too many boosters. You really only need one or two, it\'s just that the plane CANNOT (and i\'ve tried, but someone will prove me wrong, i know it...) take off without taking the gear up in my experience, lest you use more than enough boosters.
  19. This looks and sounds just like NASA launches i\'ve watched in the past, and i hope to see more! This is why i love KSP!
  20. Definetely pretty 'cute.' I can hear Toad saying 'Uh-oh!' after each one XD
  21. It\'s about time i was here. My rocket is beautiful, though it\'s Novapacked, it gets there with a ton of fuel. My problem is landing the thing, i\'ve yet to stop my craft from slamming into the moon, i don\'t know when to decelarate. Practice takes a while to set up too, so it\'s a pain.
  22. Tell this to the RP community. As an ambassador, Ascensiam and the other RP\'ers are having a HUGE problem getting a proper politics/economical system formally set up that works for everyone. If we could get a 'simulator' to deal with, say wars in game, that\'d be fantastic. My fighters would have targets 8) EDIT: Just looked at the page. Holy boosters, that is almost (i think) EXACTLY what we need, except modded to a planetary rather than intergalactic scale.
  23. Wow. This is amazing for not having direct docking support. This only makes me wonder how Harvester will do docking
