    I have tested the same craft using the above mods, as well as without the above mods. For some odd reason enough Delta V to clear the Kerbin System only provides enough to provide an apoapsis 1/3 the way from the planet? The FPS seems to be constant  between modded and unmodded. Any ideas?

    It shouldn't be affecting Delta V at all. Do you have any other mods installed?

  2. I've been working on creating a Laythe colony, and I've designed an interesting versatile exploration vehicle.

    It seems like a plane at first - albeit with wheels.

    It can fly like a plane as well, however, once landed...

    Instead of designing a rover and a plane, why not make them both? The design was motivated by having an easy transportation system without having a large cargo plane or barge to transport the rover.

    The lower half is a drone and has mining equipment. It can also fly independently. They can dock and redock at will. The cockpit can function as a rover, being able to drive long distances.

  3. I've created a crude diagram explaining what the future of the Creeon sytem will be.

    In my original plan, there were only two, Aralis and Zin. The reason why there were only two in the beginning, was such because I was afraid of creating too many planets and moons that resulted in the moons mostly being the same, but with different terrain, you run out of things to make it interesting. Now I've increased it to 9. GGCR stands for "Gas Giant Core Remnant". GGCR was once a gas giant and an original planet of Creeon, perhaps an ice giant like Uranus or Neptune IRL that was able to survive Creeon's supernova. Due to it's far distance and Creeon's relatively low mass, it only lost it's outer layers leaving it's rocky core. It has 3 moons, all of them captured dwarf planets.

    Tell people facts, and let them make their own decisions.

    Doesn't usually work. Most of the time people are incredibly susceptible to misinformation, especially because almost 50% of all adults in the US alone get their news from Social Media, which isn't very reliable as it is. Besides, even if assuming that everyone knows the facts, not everyone would choose the right decision.

    Found this the other day in the VAB-

    If you type the word 'communism" It come up with this-

      Reveal hidden contents

    Nah, I'm just pulling your leg. The Easter egg is actually this-

      Hide contents

    Anyways, I think this is a funny little secret! What do you guys think?

    Most likely just a coincidence.

    Dres. What's it good for?

    It's basically Mun; similar size, similar look. But it is much harder to reach. It's too small and too difficult to reach to use effectively for gravity assists.

    And it has nothing remarkable. Really, why would one want to visit Dres, except to say "i've been there"? it has no personality. even Pol has something special about it, and it's a serious competitor for the title of "most useless rock around kerbol" otherwise.

    the only remarkable thing about dres is its canyon. So i went and tried to drive my rover through it. I did drive my rover through Mun's canyons, and it was a marvelous experience. I could get speed, then i would find a crater rim and make a really cool jump. the canyon oriented north-south was especially good as a racing circuit. maybe the dres canyon would be a cool drive? maybe the planet would have this one redeeming quality?

    Never. the surface is too irregular, the gravity is lower. whenever i try to get to speed, i lose control. worse, the surface is so rugged, it's a real danger. my rover is armored so that it won't take damage from crashing. indeed, i did drive it for hundreds of kilometers around mun, and i never broke anything at any speed below 35 m/s. I often survived unschated up to 40 m/s. But on Dres, I managed to break wheels already at half that speed. And the canyon? the bottom of the canyon is all angles, without any soft path. it's impossible to race through it.

    i decided to go and vent a bit of my dres hating around

    How dare you.
