ASAS:Upupupupupup-HOLD IT! Backbackback TOO FAR! Forwardforwardforward OH CRAP! Backbackback HOLY *crash* Me: *faceplam* Take 13, action!

Oh. My. Jeb.

This. Is. AWESOME! Also, like the reference to Fallout: New Vegas in the title. Big Fallout nerd here. Can't wait for season 2.

Let me be the first to welcome you to the KSP forums! Remember, everything can be solved with MOAR BOOSTERZ!

NOTE: Please take my words with a grain of salt. I'm very inexperienced in KSP and my pre-frontal cortex hasn't fully developed, which makes me prone to bad decisions in speech. You're such a ding-dong. An SAS doesn't weigh much and it's extremely useful. What's next, you gonna tell me no RCS? Oh wait, I can't see any.

I see the system as a place where all the laws that govern our solar system apply, including tidal heating and star formation, etc. etc. I suppose that it could be a unique place with it's own rules and physics.

I didn't say anything about provinces, I said that Elder Scrolls is a game about an unrealistic magical realm. And I guess it was tweaked from "real" to "fun" but still.

To Brotoro, Three short things: I agree with the density thing, mostly because the planets are quite small(Jool is the size of Earth), Elder Scrolls is a game about a magical realm(not very realistic) and finally, I think that communications should be a toggle-able thing in the options so you can alter the difficulty. So, yeah. Didn't think so many people would talk about this.

Thanks, Fractal. Finally, physics I don't understand has finally helped me somewhat prove a point, while at the same time disproving it. I is Hapie!

Well, let's see if we can back up a bit here. To Fractal(again): I always thought that Kerbals lived underground but then I realized that KSP is in early alpha. As for the rest of you, you have to understand, most of my information about KSP comes from playing it and reading it on the wiki. As such, when I read that Laythe had an oxygen atmosphere, I believed it. I had no knowledge of tidal heating(my fault, sorry) and personally, geology is not my strong suit. I'm better with biology and the history of life. As such, sorry for not double-checking my facts. Unless someone's got something else to say, goodbye.

As for Fractal: Hm... Well, nitrogen doesn't trap heat well either, and if there was enough carbon dioxide to trap extensive amounts of heat, then it could get too hot, thus making the 5 degree temperature again inaccurate. However, I am ignoring types of life like cyanobacteria and extremophiles. Sorry bout that. The oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere the only way jet engines could work, and if the atmosphere had a large majority of CO2, then jet engines wouldn't work. Also, do you see any volcanoes on Laythe? No? Most non-geologically dead planets/moons have volcanoes, especially those with volcanic activity. However, yes, plate tectonics and core heating could generate enough of a magnetic field to support life. To you Andrewas, I think that the temperature readings aren't fully placeholders, because Squad did write each one down and other planets have a reasonable temperature for their location. So, you're statement is slightly rendered moot. [EDIT] To Nova, I didn't know about the thread, sorry. And for drake, you have to remember that the water would be irradiated because of the radiation from Jool and other planets unless there is a magnetic shield field.

Before I begin this thread, I would like to state that I know this is a game, but that doesn't exempt it from being unrealistic when so many other things are realistic. Laythe is physically impossible. To begin with, the thermometer states that it is 5 degrees on Laythe, but considering the distance from the sun, that's extremely unlikely. The reason for this isn't so much the distance from the sun, but the atmosphere. The KSP wiki says that Laythe has a pure oxygen atmosphere. Oxygen doesn't trap heat very well. In order for Laythe to have a snowball's chance in a CAT scanner of getting up to 5 degrees, you'd need more of an atmosphere similar to Venus, not one similar to Earth's. Not only that, but planets have a really low chance of an oxygen atmosphere unless there is any life. Do you see any life on Laythe? No, meaning that Laythe is truly a very rare instance. Plus, even if there is any life on Laythe, most life needs a warmer temperature than 5 degrees. Overall, Laythe fails in all categories of possibility. I hope you are enlightened by this post.

Granted, but the solid rockets explode if you throttle below 50% I wish for infinite fuel. Also, when I said that everyone moved to Asia because Europe got so damn cold, I thought you actually said EuropE and not EuropA. So, not a joke. I fail.

Granted, but it gets so damn cold, so everyone moves to Asia, causing massive overpopulation. I wish I was a god.

False. The user below me has either watched Hayate no Gotoku/Hayate the Combat Butler or read the manga version.

In the worst russian accent possible... Sveet. Toadally.

Sorry for necroing, but god dang it this is AWESOME! Shame I have no real ability to construct a space-worthy rocket.

Really? My 2nd mechjeb run was to Minmus.

Sure... In my first act as director of the Kerbal Aerospace and 'Splosion Association, I hearby sarcastically state that "Yes, because crashing every second launch is SO much better than not." No offense. My experience has been tainted with laggy launches and game crashes.

Thanks, I think I am already a bottle rocketeer. Hope I can start posting about my wonderful misadventures soon. Haven't gotten 0.19 to work so I'm using 0.17.

Try Alt-F12. That should work.

Thanks, Skunky! I've already killed Jebediah and Bill, though Bob is (unfortunately) still alive.

Hello, and I'm Icarus Vice. I'm the director of the Kerbal Aerospace and 'Splosion Association, or KASA. I'm responsible for, uh, let's see here, uh, EXISTING! I'm responsible for existing! Just want to say hello, so, hello! And if anyone knows how to get blog/article permission, then I would be happy

Yay, a Dane playing this game! "I'm so excited! I just can't hide it!"
