  1. Granted. Everyone is now addicted to tea. I wish for more wishes.
  2. Of course! I use tons and tons of parts mods, but the ones shown there should include the NF Suite, Universal Storage 2, Restock, Restock+, And the Hab is from SSPXr. I'm in love with Nertea. Oh wait, did I say that out loud?
  3. Speaking of Duna... I finally landed crew on Duna! It's hard to believe that I've been playing since 1.7.3 (technically 1.4.5) and I haven't landed Kerbals on Duna, but that changes today! Burning Leaving Kerbin Kerbin's just a tiny speck now! See if you can spot Kerbin, Mun, and Minmus (DOE is the best!) Hi Duna! Duna! What did you eat!? Oh right... Undocking Going down! Boy is it hot in here... Yes. Oh wait... we have MORE parachutes!? Welcome to the Rusty Planet. Well actually, our landing legs are made of stainless steel. But who cares? Mmm... nice fresh helmet air "Minmus looks much more tastier" - Valentina Kerman "It's one small step- Oh wait. I have rather big feet." Down, down, down.. to the down under /o "Oh no! Not a flag! I'm scared of flags!" "What's that in my suit?" Run like the Sun! Here comes the Sun! A overall view of the Ares 2 landing site I cheated the Hab module to Duna, however, theoretically the lander has enough capacity to carry it, so it could be possible with KIS. Sadly I forgot to install KIS on this already boggled-down install. Oh well.
  4. I actually have a very similar system in place, except not as complicated as yours. I have these things called ANTS (Advanced Nuclear Tug/Transfer Stage). Basically, these tugs dock with a Depot in LKO (which is resupplied by tankers often) and have about 6000 dv unladen, giving them enough to ferry stuff around Kerbin's SOI and back. Seen Here: Payload rendezvousing with ANTS at KOFD (Kerbin Orbital Fuel Depot) Seen Here: KOFD with 2 ANTS docked to it Seen Here: ANTS delivering payload to Mun Seen Here: Reusable Tanker Pod The Tanker pod has a 10m inflatable heat shield on the bottom for reentry, and it's jettisoned after chute deployment. The ANTS can also be useful for other things, such as acting as an engine block for interplanetary trips, like my recent trip to Duna: For a viable and easy to refuel system, I suggest you use NERVS as Rocket Witch has suggested. However, you might want to consider adding some sort of auxiliary engine or about ~4 NERVS, or else your TWR will be too low for any reasonable burn time. Currently my system is only about Half-finished, I plan on supplementing the fuel deliveries from Kerbin with fuel from Minmus and possibly using an Asteroid to get fuel.
  5. I concur, the addition of adjectives most certainly enhances the reader's perspective of that text.
  6. It's just one of those Mac problems. Since KSP's folder structure is quite unconventional (most games have their folders inside the application, not the application inside the folder and using the resources), I find it more convenient to put the KSP install on my desktop. As a bonus, that also allows you to add mods without having to enter the password into the dialog every single time.
  7. EV-2 Ares departs Duna, carrying Jeb, Bob, and Bill back towards Kerbin Jebediah goes outside for one last inspection of the Scorpius The Crew of the Scorpius leaving behind their faithful EV A rather hot reentry Scorpius deploying it's drogues Coming down on the mountainside Jeb, Bob, and Bill outside of their capsule, back from 4 years of exploration Prospector 1 lifting off from the KSC Prospector 1 leaving for the Mun Prospector 1 arriving at the Mun Prospector 1 descending Prospector 1 descending Prospector 1 landed on the Mun Prospector 1 roving Prospector 1 finds a big rock Prospector 1 finds 2 big rocks Prospector 1 scans a rock Prospector 2 arriving at Minmus Prospector 2 descending Prospector 2 Descending Prospector 2 landed at Minmus Prospector 2 roving Prospector 2 roves some more Prospector 2 roves even more Prospector 2 roves a lot more
  8. Define 'efficient'. Like, do they pilot better? Collect more science? Do they work better? Unlock features? They do sometimes, but they prefer Human Space Program.
  9. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to post twice on the same WDYDIKT page, but who cares about laws, am I right? Anyways.. A while ago (like, a few pages back) I sent Jeb, Bob, and Bill to Duna. Well, I brought them back: Plane Change Maneuver: Leaving Duna! Copying Nate Simpson (Only Kinda) Returning Home: Jeb goes outside for one last inspection: Goodbye Scorpius. You served us well. Obligatory Post flight pic: We came down on the west side of the mountains just west of the KSC. Since I didn't even try to target the KSC, that was a nice bonus. Ribbons are always nice! I also sent a rover mission to the Mun: Big rock: Two Rocks: Weird Rock: Small Weird Rock: Wernher has concluded that there are many rocks on the Mun. I also sent an identical rover mission to Minmus: While Minmus definitely looks better, it's a pain to drive on. I also couldn't find any of the breaking ground surface features, so yeah.
  10. First things first: Standard procedure around here is to link to a KSP.log file (hosted on another site of course, we don't want walls of text) so that we can check, and steps to reproduce the issue. Anyways, moving on. I think I've seen this bug before in another game, but I don't remember exactly what. I think it has something to do with the unity engines and a bug in the shaders.
  11. That's nice, and I'll definitely give it a try. But I think the main problem is that Kerbals can't tilt and help you lean and etc, etc. Therefore, the reaction wheels act as the Kerbal leaning.
  12. Wow, 2 bonus chapters! Great work! There is a slight issue though, the title of chapter 1 isn't bigger than the rest of the text. Other than that, it's great! I can't wait to see what's next! Mun Shuttle?
  13. I've been very busy lately. I landed on the Mun in JNSQ: I retired the Shuttle: I prepared a new mission to Duna: I created a new lifter and crew vehicle: I created a series of Nuclear Tugs and station to fuel it, plus making a tanker to refuel the station: I used the above system for the first time: And I launched a ton of commsats: I'll show myself out now.
  14. SRFM landing near the mountains StarComm 1 in HKO ANTS-1 carrying its payload to the Mun Pegasus Heavy lifting off from Pad LC-39A
  15. Yes! Pumps fist in the air. Will there be blueshift in this?
  16. The art is great like everything else you make! The IVA is great, the Exterior is great, everything is great!
  17. All exceptions get caught in a fishnet instead. I wish for more wishes.
  18. Alrighty then, I'm going to do an experiment. I'm going to unfollow this thread for a month and see what happened when I get back. Ping me on February 20th.
