    He's Alouette's pilot. Space service Enzin. I kind of forgot to give him a personality, or significant dialogue.
  3. Mister Dilsby
    Well of course it does Happy to see some Sunday comix! Kuzzter's CTRL-V finger needs a rest.

    Well, it was Dilsby's call to go to Abort 2, and that was the written procedure. A more senior crew might have thought out of the box a bit. OOC, I can tell you that yes, I did consider doing that, but decided it would not be awesome. In any case, none of the hardware on Eve can be recovered as far as Kerbfleet command is concerned, so it really didn't matter in how many pieces it landed and at what velocity.

    Added that poll for your amusement
  6. Mister Dilsby
    Fair and equitable, I thinks. It honors those well-respected members, while also honoring their wish for rep count modesty.

    Hey, great start and love that cute little probe. Did you orbit Kerbin wrongway? (heading 270 from pad not 090) That gets bonus silly points (and also leaves debris in orbit capable of intersecting something traveling in the orthodox direction--hilarity ensues! Like the use of Squad for G-d in various epithets, makes more sense to me than 'Kod'.

    Already saw it, glad to see it

    What am I, on a schedule? Hard to say. It's a year of game-time before anything really interesting happens so I am working on various...designs, doing some orbital housekeeping etc. You'll see something when you see something. - - - Updated - - - Hoping that crazy lift situation was a one-time thing; if it was, landing will be a snap...if not, Jeb's been in the Air Service even longer than Tedus
  10. Mister Dilsby
    Well, it's not like I haven't messed with an .sfs before. Definitely something I've considered, along with the "Distinguished Flying ROUND-8" which is of course Kerbfleet's second-highest decoration. Honestly, Tedus went above and beyond even my expectations. We'll have to see how the rest of his story plays out.
  11. Mister Dilsby
    Oh, I can't believe I haven't gone THERE yet. When that movie came out, I happened to be on a college fencing team (see, I'm not entirely uninteresting myself ) and we watched that VHS until it near wore out. All right, adding it to the Big Ol' Kerbfleet Bag of Source Material!
  12. Mister Dilsby
    Ah, that explains it--I almost always play with the sound off, so I would have missed it entirely anyway. I love the idea of the Easter eggs in the game all being connected, hope that they will someday tell a coherent story no not necessary, SQUAD can provide whatever and you and I can tell the stories, n'est ce pas?
  13. Mister Dilsby
    You might just be...the most interesting man on the Forum.- - - Updated - - - I'm not even sure, it was so long ago I installed it. I have a folder from BoulderCo if that helps. - - - Updated - - - Ohhh, yeah. A friend of mine not on the Forum saw the panels and suggested for those last three panels. I concur
  14. Mister Dilsby
    So I've always wondered--what exactly does one see/hear, in game, for this so-called SSTV signal from the lost pyramid? Am assuming that the displays shown in this report are from some sort of anomaly-detecting mod...or is that all stock?
  15. Mister Dilsby
    Tedus Kerman living the Kerbfleet Air Service motto, following yet another "good landing".
  16. Mister Dilsby
    The "throttling Gene" shot is a still from one of the SQUAD promo videos, found it in an image search. And sorry for any confusion, Bob did not send that crew report, of course it was Tedus. This happened in-game and was unplanned: I did not expect the Dipperkraft to have comms either but somehow the antenna stayed attached to the fuselage, and that piece of the fuselage stayed attached to the cockpit! In my excitement I had Tedus start sending the science--and promptly ran down the batteries and killed the comms in the middle of his EVA report. No solar panels survived the landing. Dammit Tedus! - - - Updated - - - Thanks! Actually I forgot about that line until Gamer posted the picture of the Gliido crash, so he gets a cookie! - - - Updated - - - It was a near-run thing. I planned Bob's ejection and landing way back when I originally designed the Dipperkraft, and decided that I would make ONE fair attempt to land Tedus alive--no reverts, let the chips fall where they may. I am as happy as you are that Gene doesn't have to get the zeroes out for the safety sign. So, here's where we are: This comic goes on standby and we'll turn back to the Hummlebee to close out that book. Might have an Interlude panel or two in here, and I've been meaning to post a Poll for some time now. And then...well, we'll see No, KSC is not going to tell Hummlebee anything about the Eve mission--but yes, Bill has those two k-mails from Bob... Now I know you all want a rescue. So do I. But it's not up to me, it's up to Kerblfleet High Command, and all that is going to play out over the next few chapters. So--stay tuned, and THANK YOU not just for reading but for everything you do to collaborate and participate on the thread. I would bet that no one has ever had as much fun making Powerpoint slides as I am having, thanks to you wonderful munatics

    And now, the moment you've all been waiting for...
  18. Mister Dilsby
    Yes it got down--but not in one piece, and on an Eve ascender pretty much every piece counts.- - - Updated - - - So what is it, you can switch vessels up to 2.2km, but physics range goes to 22.5km from the active craft, yes?
  19. Mister Dilsby
    Thanks Sharkman, that's exactly what I'm going for in the comic and it's very nice to hear you say that. Yeah, one of the great things about this game is seeing how all the other players approach the same problem, with the same basic tools, differently! And as for character interpretations, why I hear there are even universes out there where *gasp* pilot speech balloons are red! - - - Updated - - - It's a good thing Walt doesn't actually write the comic, isn't it? "Send more rep, or the Kerbal gets it!"
  20. Mister Dilsby
    How did I never notice that?!
  21. Mister Dilsby
    Oh, 4003! How very poignant. May 4004 carry on to glory.
  22. Mister Dilsby
    Not that I'm saying there is going to be a rescue mission, mind you, but the trouble these days seems to be getting a ship that's big enough to ascend down in one un-burnt piece.- - - Updated - - - Wouldn't that be awful? But IIRC the physics radius is now 22.5km. Nope, if Tedus died, he died fair and square. Behind the scenes--I ejected the pod at about 8000m to make sure I could pop the 'chute, then switch back to Tedus and attempt a landing. - - - Updated - - - Ha! Love the tag - - - Updated - - - And that will happen... well, let me just say you might wanna "spread some rep around" before this afternoon.
  23. Mister Dilsby
    AAAAHHHHH!!!1! *flails at light switch* Just for that, I'll only post ONE page this morning...
  24. Mister Dilsby
    ...and by the by people, since it was a couple of pages ago I'll say it again: please refrain from attempting to figure out in the thread where I am going based on movies etc I might be parodying. In-universe speculation is fine but I'd like to not have any big moments pre-revealed in the thread. So in general I will not respond to such out-of-universe meta speculation--but Bob as Khan is so ridiculous within my Kerbalverse that I can have fun with it If you must speculate based on knowledge of parody material, please write it on the back of a 500-fund note and send it to Mortimer, care of this station.
  25. Mister Dilsby
    Or else Kerbfleet leaves Bob there for a very long time...Bob who, you remember, considers himself some sort of "superior intellect", and is clearly some sort of genetically engineered superkerbal because orange suit. Years later, Clauselle has risen through the ranks and is first officer on the mission that finally lands on Eve...but Evil Bob's plan fails right there, because no one has ever managed to find a Kerbal's earhole. See, we could go either way with this.
