Just a quick thought: It would be cool if the iva chairs that kerbals sit in had interactive handles (the joystick would move with the wasd commands etc.) Share your thoughts in comments!

he was joking

when are we to expect a 1.7.1 version?

From my own experience, I know that Interstellar Extended can be quite complicated to figure out, so I made this post to minimise the fuss. In the KSP @FreeThinker's Interstellar Extended mod, there is a number of very cool futuristic parts, and sometimes it can get quite hard to find out how to best use those parts. One of the best examples of such a feature is the Acullbierre drive (a.k.a the Warp Drive) As most parts in IE and in KSP in general, the Acullbierre drive requires a few more parts to function. To fully understand how a warp drive functions, we are going to use an example ship I’ve built. It’s parts fall into these main categories: -Means of control (Duh) - Reactor (mega joules generator) - Secondary power source (mega joules are considered a different resource, so it is best that there is at least a solar panel on the ship) -Acullbierre Drive -Radiators (an absolute MUST for almost any system in IE) Secondary Propulsion system (When exiting warp, you will be going at the exact speed you left at, so you will want to make some adjustments so that you don’t fall into or escape the planet you’re going after) With most parts being pretty self explanatory, there are two features I need to address: The drive and the reactor. Reactors are parts that generate electricity. Some do more than others but they may also require more resources or last less long. Make sure to read the description of them to make sure your ship has the required resources. As well as that, many reactors have different configurations, meaning that some can utilize different configurations of resources. These are different for every reactor, so make sure you choose the one that suits you best. (Most reactors can be fitted with an extra “thermal” reactor. Those utilize the excess heat your reactor/Acullbierre drive produce and repurpose it as electricity. They can go great with reactors as they increase the power output greatly) Acullbierre drive comes in three different shapes: small, large and compact. These differ in the amount of mass they can transport, so make sure you have the correct one (they can also stack BTW) When everything is set up and the reactors are working, go to the drive menu (via right click) to start the drive. CAUTION: this act will generate a lot of excess heat, so be sure you either have enough radiators or your actions are quick!!! When the reactor is charged (the exotic matter bar is full) select your destination on map screen, point there and turn the warp drive on! Tip: one of the readings on the drive menu is the current warp speed. You can increase and decrease that with the appropriate buttons on the menu. Make sure you you slow down quickly enough though!

The challenge is simple: Get the picture/video/etc of your first/oldest successfull rocket, and recreate it. Post pictures of before and after, aswell as a small slideshow to prove that you did the mission. Rules: 1) No intentional adjustments to the build. If the ship uses stock parts, you can't use any mods for the challenge. If you see obvious flaws with the craft, leave them in. 2) No cheating. You are not allowed to use cheats of any sort for the whole duration of the mission. (Unless the rocket was built before the atmospheric heating was a thing) Good Luck

nope. @SiriusRocketry?

119 what's your unemergency?

True. But I think that it's just a natural cycle of life. It's very hard to keep a game running for a very long time. I hope that KSP will prosper for ever more, but I am fine with SQUAD finishing it off and moving on, if that's what is the best for them both.

Ok, I will start building in a weeks time (when I will get back)

Sounds cool. Can I participate? If yes, than I am going to build a fully reusable, two stage Buran/Shuttle system.

I really hope KSP will recover and keep the game alive. I love KSP and I just wish it would start making more new content instead of revamping the existing parts. edit: i realized that what I said did not make sense. I corrected my sentence.

this is crazy!!! and almost too good to be true. I will definitely try it out!!!

Pretty self explanatory. Here you can share some of your own custom mission flags if you want to. Here are mine: Feel free to use them if you feel so.

well, if you are creating your own universe, make sure to make it really cool. It would be very fun to expand beyond the now existing technology, or have a lot more mystery! By the way, are the new characters going to be humans or some alien beings? I made a fan fiction website for a possible KSP series on YouTube.
