  1. So, I started this account because I lost the password to @Icarus_Vice and the associated email address. Now I've got both back and I want my name to get changed on that account to IcarusBen. Firstly, though, this account needs a name change. Can this account be renamed IcarusBenJunkAccount? Once that's done, I'll post again as @Icarus_Vice and ask for that to get changed to IcarusBen.
  2. Speaking of that, has anyone thought to make a tropes page for First Flight?
  3. A lot of people seem to think Kerbals are slow, but in fact, they're quite fast. The average running speed of a human athlete is 3 meters per second. Most people aren't in that kind of physical condition, so we can expect the average running speed for all mankind to be lower. Furthermore, humans are not endurance runners and tend to tire out easily. Meanwhile, Kerbals all run at a speed of 2 meters per second, and they have basically unlimited endurance.
  4. It's reversed Spanish, sometimes called Loñapse. IIRC, it's mostly random words from Spanish, but I suppose it could be worth a shot.
  5. I'm not asking how you set the name of a spacecraft. I'm asking how one would come up with a good name for their spacecraft, namely ones sent out for specific missions (as opposed to reusable launcher designs.) I feel my names are a bit unimaginative and want to figure out how to name them better. For example, here's a list of spacecraft names from my current career file. -Kerbal 1, Kerbal 2, Kerbal 3 - Manned missions that did not break the atmosphere. Named for the Kerbal missions in First Flight. -Moho 1, Moho 2 - Manned missions that broke the atmosphere. Named for the Mercury-Redstone missions. -Orbiter 1, Orbiter 2, Orbiter 3, Orbiter 4 - Manned missions to get into orbit. Named for the fact they're orbiters. -Hopper 1, Hopper 2 - Manned missions on sub-orbital trajectories for biome farming. No obvious inspiration. -Muna 1, Muna 2 - An on-going program to send a manned capsule to the Mun. Named for the Soviet Luna missions. -Eagle 1, Eagle 2, Eagle 3, Eagle 4, Eagle 5 - Manned airplanes. Named for the Eagle 5 blockade runner in Spaceballs. I'm not a big fan of most of these names (though the Orbiter and Moho programs I kind of like) (the Muna, Kerbal and Hopper programs particularly annoy me) and I'd like to try and be "better" at naming my craft. How do you guys name your ships? Also, are there any good resources for spaceflight program names and spacecraft names?
  6. I kind of want a KSP movie. There's a lot of good stories we can tell in the Kerbalverse, mostly because of how much of a blank slate it is. First Flight could make a good KSP movie. There would have to be a lot less emphasis on the Kermol though. The KIS is the A-plot of First Flight, while the Kermol make up the B-plot. However, the C-plot of Rockomax is far more connected to the A-plot, and it's likely the B-plot would have to be dropped. Of course, I'm not that far in, so it's possible I don't know what I'm talking about.
  7. While Val is a badass, she still has intelligence compared to the other orange suits. She's probably thinking I'm surrounded by idiots.
  8. Stanley pushes the button that says 8, only to realize that said button would result in the complete destruction of this world. This is the 8 ending. Let's restart... ...tratser s'teL Stanley decided to go up to the board room. Perhaps he had simply missed a memo.
  9. Stanley continued past the blue door and entered the red door. Looking back, he noticed a green door, where his coworker Stanely was gazing over negrep and a green hat. Dismissing it as a small typo and color-blindness on megatiger78's part, Stanley continued down the red door's hallway, where he came across a ringing telephone.
  10. I'm biologically male, but I identify as an air conditioner. That said, there are always women playing any given game. They just hide because... well... no one knows. It doesn't matter how many women post on these forums, no one ever sees them because the universe must maintain the stereotype that only guys can game.
  11. Turn it off, unplug it and turn it back on. How do I apply to Hogwarts.
  12. Having THREE MLP pictures? Why... YOU CHEATER!
  13. It's a Freddy Fazbear's special. Now, let me put this on you and... Oh, great. You got brain all over the suit. Waiter? Waiter... Waiter! WAITER! WAITER!!! ​There's a brony in my soup!
  14. Stanley came to a set of two doors. A red one and a blue one. Realizing the cafeteria was beyond the red door, he took the red door.
  15. I'm in sandbox mode. I can put the parts on, and the core modules has functioning solar panels, RCS, SAS, thrusters and probe functionality, but no MechJeb functions. I don't even get a MechJeb menu.
  16. Stanley stood around in this room, waiting for something to happen. Little did he know, nothing would ever happen in this room. Ever. Stanley moved on.
  17. How do I install MechJeb? I tried copying the MechJeb folder to GameData, then I tried copying the folders inside to the GameData/Squad folder, but while I can put the parts on the ship and they store resources (and the MechJeb pod even still works as a probe core, including the RCS, solar panels and thrusters) but I can't get the actual MechJeb part to work.
  18. Stanley has no spacesuit. The rest is self-explanatory. This is the Spacestep Ending. NEW GAME! All of his coworkers were gone. What could it mean? Stanley decided to head to the meeting room. Perhaps he had missed a memo.
  19. No, that would be Bill Nye's face. Carl Sagan's face is in the minestrone. Ahem, waiter? WAITER!!! Some moron put soup in my soup! What's up with that?
  20. What kind of spaceship wears sunglasses? 1/10.
  21. But... I HAVE THE POWER! Muh hill.
  22. I don the Kanohi Ignika, Mask of Life, and turn all of you into mindless blobs of sludge. I then use a mop and push you off of My hill!
