  1. Why? I agree that stock clouds would be great, but why divert "all resources" to a minor feature? Adding 2-d clouds, such as in space engine, would not take that much. If you mean KSP should have volumetric, realistic clouds, then they shouldn't, because it doesn't fit with art style and would be computer intensive. PS the misspelling of Squald makes this unintentionally hilarious.

    Stephen Baxter's book the Medusa Chronicles fits perfectly into the canon of Orion's Arm.
  3. By pure coincidence, I just created an account on the orions arm forum... and saw you had posted the same thing there lol
  4. This thread now has beaten the Emiko station in views, with over half a million. Also, it looks like FH2 is on schedule!
  5. actually http://itcorp.com/ dates to 86
  6. What if you're eating the taco on an airplane on a treadmill?
  7. I don't like how people use TedX talks to prove any point they have.

  8. Orion's Arm is a hard scifi collaborative writing project that has been active since 2000.
  9. How is borosilicate flexible glass manufactured? How hard would it be to do a crude recreation of https://www.sgpinc.com/materials/borosilicate/corning-willow-glass/ with manual glass blowing equipment?
  10. If your in a hohmann transfer, a small change makes a large trajectory change, but if Eros is already moving towards the Earth at high speeds, and the acceleration changes rapidly in direction, then it would still be possible to predict the trajectory.
  11. If there was a cave made of potatoes, what enzyme could I spray that would dissolve the potatoes and a) Not cause a fire b) Allow me to dig a tunnel wide enough to go through at a hundred feet a day c) Be easy to store
  12. How hard and expensive would it be to fill a football stadium with water and have a ship battle?
  13. When you pull off a mission without any kraken attacks, RUD, negligent decisions, or explosions:
  14. In the novel Rocheworld, the binary is on an elliptical orbit that is in a 1:3 resonance with the system's gas giant. So, on regular intervals it gets extremely close to the giant, fixing the drag. Also, remember that as the planets are tidally locked, and they have enormous inertia, there is not much drag.
