Schrodinger's forums. Are they alive or not?

You had to ask, didn't you? Don't you know that the health of the forums is like Fight Club? And what's the first rule of Fight Club? Right - you don't talk about Fight Club.

Then you'd need to be a witch to eat them. If I were you and you were me, who would all the others be?

This is probably the most intelligent thing you could do for a first few attempts. Don't try to come back but drop multiple probes into the surface. This will give you a great idea of what it will take just to land without going boom. I have only ever landed and have never returned. So I only ever send probes and unmanned rovers. Start your aerobrake somewhere around 85km, with an Ap of about 200km. Yes, this is shallow. Ish. But it will allow you to slow down gradually, eventually all but circularizing near 95ish km. Then you can start decreasing your Pe, a couple thousand km each pass. The important thing is to not come in too steep or fast. Doing either will make you go boom.

Granted, but it inexplicably disappears moments after you get it. I wish I had the Lego death star kit. The original one. https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Star-Wars-Death-75159/dp/B01KOQ9AAK/ref=asc_df_B01KOQ9AAK?mcid=69d4fb461de337949d5256820d80eb4e&hvocijid=12079898450833896006-B01KOQ9AAK-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=730434177080&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12079898450833896006&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030773&hvtargid=pla-2281435177898&psc=1

This actually leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth over the new owners. Take Two is no longer affiliated with this mess, which means Haveli are now trying to recoup some of the capital they spent on acquiring this. Sick. Just sick.

Granted. Dragons rain fire down upon you. I wish @Exploro wasn't on fire.

Oh, I'm pretty certain you are banned.

Happy Valentines...ban.

Calling 911 because the image i posted in the picture wars thread made me queasy.

Granted. You are bothered now by limited-slip differential gear trains. I wish I was more mechanically inclined.

Floating point error?

I prefer to use the Matt Lowne lazy docking method. But I do use MJ to get the rendezvous and match speeds with the target.

I'm not holding any grudges against the guy. I mean, I'm not going to ever be all "You are an [insert whatever expletive you wish] for jerking us around" if I ever run into the guy IRL. But that doesn't alleviate the fact that I feel he lied to us, or that he continued to promise communication and updates but then never produced. I am taking KSP2 as a learning opportunity with several lessons learned: Never buy into EA at full price again. I have to caveat that with the full price, because, should KSA be for something like $5, I won't turn that down. Never buy into anything Nate is ever associated with again. Even if that ends up being KSA or, lord help us, anything that comes out of Haveli/ex-Annapurna. Keep on trucking with KSP1. Like, why deviate from the original, especially when there are enough mods to make it into thousands of different games?

So, one of my pet peeves is the use of the phrase "near miss". I know that in the current vocabulary it's an accepted phrase used to indicate when you barely avoid a collision. But isn't a near miss...actually a hit? If you nearly miss something, doesn't that mean you actually didn't miss but then did in fact hit the object?

Wish I would have taken pictures, but... Every once in a while I go through old saves and try to refamiliarize myself with what's going on there. I do this because it helps me to fine-tune things I can improve at, while learning new skills without messing up the important saves I have. I've got like 30ish older saves of career games I'll never actually do anything with, and 3 saves that I flip between that I consider important. Each of those important saves are career games where I want to do something different with each one (one will end when I do a Jool-5, one will end when I land on and return from Eve, and the third is "build a space station so big that it could double as a planet"). Anyhow, this morning I opened one of the older saves, and it was pretty early career. I start looking through it to see what's up, and I realize that I still hadn't gotten credit in Mission Control for docking on/around Kerbin. And then I saw a contract there to rescue Gememone Kerman from orbit of Kerbin. And my mind went "Hey, we could pull this off; we can do this through EVA construction!". So I accepted all the contracts (3 in total; 2 to dock in Kerbin orbit, 1 to do the rescue), and built a craft to go up there. I need to point out that this save doesn't even have dual-capacity command modules, so I had to stack a Mk1 on top of the early plane cockpit, and then stack an OKTO on top of that. Why? Well, I needed: One seat for the Engineer (for EVA construction) One seat for Gememone (whom I'm rescuing) Probe core for SAS control at the very least on the way up (because Engineers can't fly by themselves, you know) So I create this ugly thing, then stick a cargo container on top of that, complete with a docking port jr. One on top of the craft, and one in the cargo container. I get up into orbit, and I rendezvoused within 10 meters of Gememone's craft. I let Bill go on EVA, then fire up EVA construction. Take the docking port out of the cargo container, stick it on Gememone's craft...and bingo! Docked! All 3 contracts completed when I touched down on the grasslands. Now, I don't really need the EVA construction practice. I had assumed I wouldn't get close enough with the rendezvous, which would have necessitated EVA maneuvering with Bill. And THAT I most certainly need practice with. However, even if I didn't need the practice, it is never a bad idea to work on rocket building skills. Take a bunch of contracts that don't look like they go together and try to cram a craft together to satisfy them. I'll always take that kind of practice.

Can you target behind the actual target so that the missiles get closer? Maybe deploy a beacon of some kind to hiver above the target and aim for that? Are you isng any mods? BDArmory might have this solved.

Like..a MkDonalds?
