  1. Banned for banning a person who banned a person who banned a person who banned a person who banned you.
  2. I remember seeing a post on these forums somewhere that was made by a person who had created a game called Saving Stages, which was a game about modifying historical rocket stages, in order to make them fully re-usable. I searched it up on steam, because it has a steam page, but it apparently was taken off of the store. I know some people were able to play it, due to there being reviews and screenshots that players have posted. I really wanted to try and play it but why did it get removed? And where can I find it now? If it was development difficulties or lack of motivation, I am sorry. The steam page also said that they were targeting a 2021 release, but the pandemic probably pushed that back.
  3. I'm excited for the idea that the game that I have been anticipating for 4 years is coming out!
  4. I use reDIRECT for my shuttles, so do I have to uninstall reDIRECT for this mod? Can I have them together? What should I do?
  5. @TonyC what mod did you use for that capsule on the right? it looks cool
  6. Hi reader, this is my new story, it is QUITE pictureheavy. I tried to do this once before and it didn't work out. Anyway, without farther ado, here is chapter 1. March 19, 1946 Gold Sands Proving Site
  7. Kirrim did some sick flips, which is surprisingly fitting for his character. Here he is mid-flip: and you may notice the arch in the background: The two dots are kerbals.
  8. Chapter 7 Jeb's First Flight February 3rd, 1944 -------------------------- Control - Jeb, are all the capsule systems nominal? Jeb - Everything's operating at peak performance. Can we launch now? Control - I won't launch until all mechanisms are operational. Jeb - But everything IS operational. Control - I know, the countdown will now commence. CT - X minus 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, ignition sequence start, 2, 1, And liftoff! Jeb - YESSS! CT - Also, Wernher noted that the rocket can flip over if you pitch over too fast. Jeb - You really couldn't tell me BEFORE I started pitching? CT - Uh oh. Jeb was able to pull back on the stick hard enough to stop it from tilting forward. But, this caused the rocket to start to tilt backwards, and before long it was out of control. Luckily, Jeb was able to shut off the engine and jettison the booster. CT - Jeb, pull the emergency chutes! Jeb - I can land without them. CT - But you shouldn't. Jeb - I will. CT - Fine. The aircraft flew lower and lower, and then, it landed very rough, destroying both wings. CT - I told you you should've used the chutes. Jeb - Hey, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
  9. Kerbonaut Group 2 "The Fabulous Five" L to R: Jebediah, Bill, Bob, Beadun, and Orbro.
  10. Mini-chapter 2 Enter Excelsior ---------------------- March 3, 1943 Outside of the Astronaut Complex, the four kerbals of kerbonaut group 1 were chatting about the space program. Camlo - " I wonder what kind of spacecraft R&D's gonna make next." Tegas - " Maybe a spaceplane?" Desnad - " No, probably another capsule." Camlo - " I mean the Verne capsule was literally just a modified plane cockpit." Then, Gene appeared. Gene - "Kerbonauts, I have something to show you." Camlo - "Did you finish selecting the guys for Kerbonaut Group 2?" Gene - "No, but all of you should follow me." After a long trek to the runway... Gene - "Enter Excelsior."
  11. Chapter 6 And last, but not least! ----------------------- Verne 4 would be the final mission in the program, carrying Ludard Kerman as the only pilot. X minus 5, 4 , 3, Ignition, 1, LIFTOFF! This mission would have an unusual flight path, as its trajectory made it fly over both poles. Within 40 minutes, the spacecraft was in orbit. After about 3 hours in orbit, Verne 4 had to begin reentry, and the retropack was fired. About 10 minutes after the retro burn, the spacecraft entered the atmosphere. Soon after reentry, the parachute and landing bag were both deployed And soon after that, the final Verne mission had touched down. ( I wasn't able to get that many screenshots of ascent due to the rocket flipping over on multiple attempts)
