Personally, I think no other female kerb will be able to take Vall's place. She's an icon, just like Jeb. That's why it's a bad idea to try to add more default female kerbs. We like our "big four" just the way they are.

The best option is to wait for a transfer window. (A time when the positions of the home and target planet are perfectly aligned for an inter-planetary slingshot. Flybys can also be used, but will require a significantly higher skill level. I recommend using Olex's illustrated transfer window calculator for finding transfer windows.

It's awesome to see that you are still plugging away at it!

Best superlaser.

Napoleon ended up on St. Helena...

That looks like some torture device.

You need a better rover.

I know, it just breaks the spirit of the game. Still, it is interesting. Hint: I have worked with these drives before. If they are light enough, they can work on Eve. Which means, infinite propulsion to anywhere with no fuel. Not very fun performing long burns though.

And how is that different from hyper-edit?

This has been a "bug" for quite a few versions. The lower the spacecraft mass, the higher the acceleration. It's not very useful though since kerbals cannot timewarp on ladders and even with an extremely low mass craft acceleration remains marginal.

Basically I've been working on a shuttle lately. I have most aspects complete (including the launch system) but the glide balance is really throwing me. I'm not sure whether I should bring the COM closer to the COL or vice versa. The below screenshot details the situation when the rear LF tank is nearly empty, as it will be after re-entry. So how do I balance this thing? Also, what exactly is the best way to land a shuttle? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

OK. If you're going that route here is the ultimate in fairness and balance.

Fair and balanced. Also patriotic and normal.

(If I owned one.) I wouldn't be comfortable with the government rooting around my company either. Not that you have anything to hide but they sure are good at making a mountain out of a molehill as we've seen recently.

Twas' the night before mod-lock and all through the thread, the clickers were clicking when they should've been in bed...

Little known truth: Kerbals taste exactly like Narnian talking stag; which is quite good actually.

Hallelujah!

Teensy spoiler?

Nice! Now do Alan Shepherd's flight. The first American spaceflight.

One would expect that major bug would have been caught by the devs. Oh well, I guess we will just have to work around it. I'm definitely not updating from 1.4.1 to 1.4.2 though. Better just to wait for 1.4.3.

Hva snakker du om?

Looks great! As they say in the aviation business, it doesn't matter how expensive a part is as long as it looks good.

That's not what I meant. Can saved games be transferred from an older version to a newer one?
