  1. The name of the landing site for the Minmus base is the Lunara Plains, just east of the Myatnee II rover. It's technically called Minmus' Lesser Flats, even though from what I can tell it's the largest of the three major ones.
  2. Understandable. I didn't use waypoints because I don't have an orbital surveyor around Minmus in that save and it's really hard to tell elevation from the KerbNet, making finding an optimal route pretty hard. But, I can just use the map view from the rover. I'll be fine.
  3. It's ok. Just let this cute trilobite warm your soul. (They were going to be extinct by the Permian anyway)
  4. Banned for judging me about my available space.
  5. I say it "Drez" too. I've heard several youtubers say it that way, so I stuck with it.
  6. Granted, but it was 65 million years ago and the thing they collide into is the Earth, killing the coolest creatures to ever live. Well, most of them- small ones we eat for Thanksgiving still exist. I wish for Earth to have a second moon.
  7. This is a word my family has been throwing around to describe our cats, one of them in particular. I invented this word a while ago, and it's a combination of fickle, spontaneous, and dark magic something related to those two words. Spickle: Suddenly acting out of turn, acting randomly, or bouncing off the walls, ceiling, floor, and the 5th dimension.
  8. Agreed. Despite many people pointing out how "it's the same system" as KSP1, I think it's got a lot of subtle differences that are going to make things better than KSP1's flawed system. And, with the game at this early stage, improvement is very rapid and fluid, unlike KSP1, where official development is pretty much stagnant and everyone depends on mods for change. (Don't get mad at me for saying this. I may be wrong, and would love to see evidence against this.) I thought it interesting just how much they seemed to point out that the new system will allow for new, interesting challenges on the forums. I also like how the very first node has liquid fuel engines and both basic decouplers. In the old game, the basic node only existed so you could get to the next node. With the new tech tree's parts as your starting pieces, I'll bet you could do a Mun or Minmus landing. About pronunciations- I agree with them on Tylo, I've never heard it any other way. But... Mun? Pronounced muhn? I prefer the moon pronunciation, it adds a fun link to our solar system and seems like a very kerbal misspelling. Poor Dres. They considered tier 4 to be "the hard stuff: Jool, Eeloo, Dres." At least they included it, but I for one consider a Dres mission much easier than a Duna mission- the farther distance and inclination are trivial compared to the Minmus level landing.
  9. Currently working on a low-complexity Jool 5 for my science save.

    Not low-mass, Bradley Whistance style.

    Not low-cost, also Bradly Whistance style.

    Not overkill, Stratenblitz style.

    Not a crazy big SSTO, Matt Lowne style.

    Just- simple. The lander is simple, the mothership doesn't have kraken-bait gravity rings, a basic nuclear tug...

    It's still gonna be hard, but I have a goal to get a Jool 5 done by the end of the year and I now have less than a month.

  10. So, technically, I have everything ready to go for a Minmus Elcano, but I haven't touched those vehicles in months, I think. The rover is delivered to Minmus along with the crew, and that's pretty much all the setup it needs. However, right now it's parked outside an unrelated base that I launched previously, would you want me to document that base as well? Because by sheer luck, I have the screenshots to do so. Regardless, I hope I'll enjoy re-learning how to drive a rover that is technically untested!
  11. Retaining those colonies is another matter...
  12. Banned for assuming I have a better place to put it.
