    the N1 rocket was the most powerful rocket ever designed 10 way too powerful than the Saturn V Apollo missions

    Funny. It was smaller than the Saturn 5.

    And it had too many engines...

    you can hear a slight Russian accent when I speak, it’s quite strange, actually. Having been born and raised in America. Our family has lived here for 100+ years)

    I think I have a slight southern accent actually, maybe I picked it up from my short time in Texas where I was born...

    It sucks big time.

    I am one of those people who likes online school. At least for my school it's a lot less demanding and stressful and also allows more free time. For me regular school is really bad, bit online school is manageable.

    weather its light wind or heavy wind, storm or lightning, turbulence or whatever you get the point, there should be weather in ksp 2, think about it weather affects rockets in real life and it'll be amazing for us to have realistic weather in ksp2 i think there is a mod for that in ksp 1 but im suggesting that there should be at least some form of wind or storm that goes in ksp2 and a weather indicator that tells you the weather for the next 7 days, the weather should also be different on other planets too like raining acid on eve or heavy snow on laythe or extreme storms on jool or radiation spikes on duna, yes it would be a bit more of a task to maintain your crew (or there could be a automated feature that manages your crew in case of such event) weather would be really nice to have on all planets, also can we have kerbals hair blowing in the wind depending on how strong it is and kerbals reacting to heavy snowstorms like putting thier hands over thier heads and squinting thier eyes or wiping thier helmet every 20 seconds or maybe kerbals sweating heavily on planets like moho and eve i know thier thread wont get far but i really hope someone forwards this to nate simpson to add it into ksp 2 or maybe ksp 1.11 because im too scared to do it lol but hey its just a suggestion and if nate decides to actually put it i the game then it wouldn't really matter if ksp got delayed again as long as he and the other ksp devs get it right.

    We've already had numerous discussions about this in other topics.

    But basically, I believe that weather should be purely aesthetic.

    Hehehe, it looks like Dunamaniac has been fooled!

    Ha! Jokes on you! Russian's my second language.

    Spoiler

    No seriously, it is.

    The reason why I'm learning it is because my family is from central asia and has some ties to Russia, and it's my parents' first language. They've been trying to teach it to me since I was little.

    Anyways, I know some words and phrases, I can sort of write it, I can read it, but I don't know what the words actually mean.

    Ah, that explains it.

    Anyways, guys, I've been writing a novel semi-seriously semi-frequently, I've been working on it for the past few months.

    It's basically a sci-fi novel (the best kind of fiction IMO), taking place in the future year of 3608. Known space is ruled by 3 known nations: The Free Commonwealth of Nations (Humans), Gar Federation (Garrans) and the elusive Haigans.

    The primary setting is the Free Commonwealth of Nations, a.k.a the Commonwealth, which is made up of dozens of planets and hundreds of systems, which are grouped into two main groups, the Coreworlds (Earth, Alpha Centuari, Luyten's Star, Tau Ceti etc.) and the fringeworlds, which are essentially poor agricultural worlds forced to pay heavy tribute to the rest of the commonwealth.

    Officially the Commonwealth is a representative democracy, but is in reality a Millitary Junta hiding behind the facade of a decadent oligarchy which is also hiding behind the facade of a democracy!

    Spoiler

    Governmentception!

    That dosen't work?

    Oh well, it was a nice try at a joke.

    The characters are two officers in the Corps, the millitary, and also the primary head of the Commonwealth. The Corps is ruled by 15 fleet admirals (currently 8, later in the story zero) who essentially control most of the Commonwealth, the rest of the government is nothing but a weak puppet.

    Jacob Fowler is technically Captain but has the powers of an Admiral (a person who controls 5-50 ships in a regiment, distinct from a fleet admiral, which rules an entire fleet), and commands the 25th Border Patrol, a small regiment with a big reputation where all the washed up officers go. Despite having followed regulations nearly exactly his whole life, one little slipup caused a young man with a bright future to live out his career in a nobody regiment.

    Walton Rees was a prestigious Admiral commanding a large regiment. Charismatic and reckless, he managed to wind his way up the ladder all the way to his present position. On the eve of his promotion after his heroic actions commanding a 300 year old shuttle against a state of the art Garran vessel in an illegal attack, he is arrested and jailed after his First Officer busts him for saying a disparaging remark against the Corps. Embittered and radicalized, an intelligence officer named Mahala Edgar breaks him out of prison after his trial and goes to a fringeworld called New Luyten, a refuge for the survivors of the Luyten massacre, a war crime commited by the Garrans which killed hundreds of millions on the Coreworld of Luyten. From there he masterminds a rebellion called the Second Commonwealth.

    Over the course of the story the leading Fleet Admirals are all assasinated, and the Commonwealth is thrown into chaos, Rees makes his move and declares war on the Commonwealth, and the Second Commonwealth gobbles up several worlds and vast swaths of Commonwealth territory. Meanwhile, in a brief stint in Garran and then Second Commonwealth custody, Fowler breaks free and is promoted to a full Admiral, commanding the new spruced up 25th Border Patrol, renamed to the 456th Mechanized Division.

    Towards the end of the story, Rees becomes insane from the power he enjoys as absolute ruler of the Second Commonwealth and his constant paranoia, while Fowler is thrust up higher and higher on the millitary chain. At the last battle, Fowler spearheads the assault and the two men are stranded on a planet together, Rees fatally wounded. They had met early in the story, but now Rees is utterly delusional and dosen't remember Fowler at all, just still clutching to his fading Second Commonwealth. Together they recount their shared history, and Rees dies on a lonely rock, along with his dreams of the second Commonwealth.

    Fowler goes on to become a Fleet Admiral, and leads a slew of reforms that reduce the power of the Admiralty, and the commonwealth is safe once again.

    Wow, that took a long time, and probably won't make much sense. I'll probably change a lot of the details later, it's not even close to being finished.
