    And on that note... VERY sharp-eyed readers will notice Bob apparently got a promotion--he did not! I just haven't gotten around to modifying his suit yet. Also, I haven't found a way to stop vacuum from killing my Kerbals with their helmets off in the new version. I suppose I could edit the universe to put oxygen everywhere... come to think of it I think that's how I got the game to remove helmets for Minmus greenscreen back in the old days.

    @Angelo Kerman that is AMAZING-- and in other news. WE'VE GOT PAGES!

    Hiya-- just confirming, Animation Suite does not work for 1.12.5? Just tried to install for... reasons
  4. Mister Dilsby
    Look, this is Kebfleet. You might as well ask for a complete listing of General Orders as a full accounting of ships by hull number.
  5. Mister Dilsby
    ...oh... my... Squad... that is outstanding. Thanks to that work, I MIGHT (no promises!) be able to tell more of the story in more of the old way than I thought was possible.
  6. Mister Dilsby
    Oh and here's the other reason I had to come back--LOOK WHERE STARFLEET FINALLY PUT THE RANK PIPS!!!

    @Angelo Kerman that is AMAZING, I'm touched by the faithful re-creation and absolutely LOVE that you went to the correct name that would indeed go with hull number KCC-012. You've given me a fantastic post-J5 vision of a future Kerbfleet operating multiple Intrepid (or is it Kessex?) class weltraumfahrzeug-- spacecraft carriers! Of course, carriers in this class are designed to land and refuel on low-gravity worlds (Intrepid did so on Minmus and Pol) but need a docked Qwammer to do so (both for the extra engines and the extra drills) -- you've already gone well above and beyond here, but curious if your model includes the Qwammer "L-docked" in Q-bay as mine did

    Hi everyone. This is a new account, but I suppose I'm not exactly new here. I'm the human person who used to post as @Kuzzter. Where have I been? Great question! The basic answer is, on changing jobs some years ago I found myself with much less time to sneak off, build and fly really really complicated ships, take screenshots from multiple angles, hyperedit suitless kerbals into Minmus orbit to use it as a green screen for interior shots, paste into Powerpoint, add word balloons, etc etc etc. Maybe I never had that time at all, but that was how I used it. Then of course I lost the drive that had the Kerbfleet save on it, as well as all of the mods and skins and uniforms that made Kerbfleet Kerbfleet. So even if i did want to finish the Jool 5 mission and, just as important, give readers an ending to this story.... it might not have been possible. But... I have a secret. Despite the fact that I lost access to the Kuzzter account some time ago, I do check in here from time to time. Especially when I'm feeling low. I remember the great moments and read the old posts and think about what Kerbfleet meant to people. It meant a lot to me too. And of course my son, who posts here as @Nimzo Kerman, has told me about coming back to the Forum and re-connecting with the readers. So on to your next inevitable question: am I going to finish this? Well, I can't -- at least not in the same format I've written in up to this point. But I can at least tell the story. I can at least tell how it ends. What finally made me create a new account and post here today was scrolling through the old posts and seeing that @Starhawk is back, and is now a moderator. And I realized I haven't given him a landing, happy, redacted or otherwise. So there it is--a first post from a new Forum member who can't even have a profile picture yet, on a really really old thread that I'm sure the Forum will warn me I'd better think twice before resurrecting. I'm going to continue posting as Dilsby. I'd like to get access to the Kuzzter account again (because I know there are a few PMs in it I'd like to see again) but I think I'd rather not use that identity. A lot has happened in the past several years and I don't wish to use that name any more. But yeah... it's me. And I'm going to finish this story for you, one way or another.

    Yeah, about that... we may be attempting intercept from a lower elevation than originally scripted. Funny you should mention that, in my original script that was exactly how Glide Squadron was going to try to defend KSC. But then I thought it would be more exciting to put them and Enterprise IN SPACE, so that's what I did
  10. Mister Dilsby
    For Middle Mouse Button, which is the one you press to fire Whack-A-Kerbal. Not that I would ever take such a cheap shortcut to cause an explosion when I can spend 40 minutes trying to steer a wonky drone instead
  11. Mister Dilsby
    I should mention to all you re-creators that only the top OSCAR-B tanks on those range safety devices are actually filled
  12. Mister Dilsby
    Yes it is...very interesting technical challenge, by the way, to have things going on in so multiple locations concurrently and to have to do them "on the clock". Am very glad there's no limit on the number of quicksaves.
  13. Mister Dilsby
    Fascinating... next you'll be wondering what that thing is in Nichelle's ear... or why Walter can't pronounce "vessel" correctly.
  14. Mister Dilsby
    Credit to @Zhetaan for "range safety"
  15. Mister Dilsby
    <--working on the comic and stuff not working properly face. Not to be confused with: <--gees, leave my wife out of this face. Or,: <--no one appreciates my genius face. OK back to work <--my readers really are awesome face
  16. Mister Dilsby
    Hey, now that I've trashed Micarooni, @Just Jim's got the only class E asteroid station in the funny pages!
  17. Mister Dilsby
    Hey Nimzo love the new avatar--can really see the family resemblance!
  18. Mister Dilsby
    Lol I'm glad you said something I'm on mobile and missed it. What actually happened was Dman said "two", I was trying to say "there are not two" because there are indeed three kerbs on that rover but I mistyped, and there we go.
  19. Mister Dilsby
    Hm. Range safety...it makes a heck of a lot more sense than what I came up with, I gotta tell ya.
  20. Mister Dilsby
    Yeah, something like that...it'd be a real stretch to imagine that Kerbfleet has anything already designed and tested with the intent of rendezvousing with an aircraft at high mach. But it would also be a real stretch to image that Wernher, Bobak and company wouldn't try to mount some kind of air defense as long as the VAB and SPH are still intact. Also, I've been dying to include more KSMC in the story, and this is a golden opportunity to do so
  21. Mister Dilsby
    Ehh, it's worth a shot. Two shots, actually. LOL--too bad 2LT Sam Kerman (aka Glide Three) is already engaged elsewhere, would have been a nice pun
  22. Mister Dilsby
    Since you ask, there are not three of them, none of them are named Sarge nor do any of them hold the rank of Sarjint. However they are in a rover and indeed there are rockets involved
  23. Mister Dilsby
    Spoiler: This isn't what it looks like... ...unless it is. OOH RAH!
  24. Mister Dilsby
    Quite so. I bet a Moderator would have gotten it right off
  25. Mister Dilsby
    @Zhetaan that was pure, pure genius. Well done sir, I thoroughly enjoyed both the speech and the analysis
