Xiphosura

Is the site down for anyone else?

Another ridiculously huge album, (images are all out of order, dunno y, I'm switching to videyas from now on x.x) I decided to test the range of the Drifter to it's (almost) utmost. I'm confident that this thing could circumnavigate Kerbin if I didn't stop for sight-seeing. But this trip was focused mainly on two missions, one was placing a monitoring station at a dish I missed, and two was to investigate any interesting landfroms surrounding it. Highlights: The first genuine sandbank I've found as of yet in-game Possible volcanic depression(?) Quite possibly the shallowest river I've ever seen This is possibly the best mountain-from-base view on all Kerbin, That mountain is the one that is on the antipode of the crater I visited last post. The basin is actually pretty deep, it goes to only 130m above sea level, yet the mountains that surround it easily break 1km. This is an interesting basin, perhaps at some point the tides are such that the sandbank on the left is above surface, allowing the waves to build it up. Another of these weird floating ice sheets completely separate from the main mass, this one on the north pole. My personal theory is that under the sea there is a seamount that rises to just below the surface, which 'seeds' the ice and allows it to spread out, while perhaps warm currents stop it joining to the mainland.

Hello! I really like this mod so far, just installed it and the new effects are just wow, especially the SRBs, just three questions that I have: Is there any way to change the colour of the FX themselves? (I kinda like the blue+orange of the old turboramjet yet really love the behaviour of the new one), is there a way to change the speed/spacing of the particles? (as a few of them have large gaps between them that look a bit odd from the side) and finally is there any way to add smoke to the engines that currently don't? I know it's unrealistic but having a long trail of smoke from every engine would be so cool. Thanks for an awesome mod anyway, I will certainly add it to my must-haves

I doubt it's a crater, simply judging by the lack of any distinct rim, seeing as the central bulge is so prominent a rim just as new and uneroded would also be expected. I do wonder as to its origin though. Maybe it's an ancient volcanic plug, a big one, or Kerbin has supersized Uluru style rocks, i.e. large masses of rock near the middle of continents.

Hello! Decided to make an account just for this, as I've always wanted a Guild of Geographers style thing in KSP I decided to get a close look at the island in the center of the coastal crater, and place a monitoring station on it to see what it's like. Enroute I stopped off in the desert to wait out the night, drop my expended tanks and see if it would be any hotter than elsewhere near sea level on Kerbin, judging from the reading, I'd say so! (Measured just over 300K when ASL average is 280-290) Red = Cliff or Bad Slope, Yellow = Beach, Green = Grassy Area, Blue = Rocky Plateau Full album (CAUTION: PRETTY BIG ALBUM)
