    Oh, I know THAT feeling well! And this is why you #DontPokeTheAuthor, or if you're the author you #DontRespondToPokes. Can't tell you how many times I've sat on an update for a few days because I knew I could do better. Have always been glad I did

    Of course--he was in the service the year before year zero--and he had an orange suit on even then, you just couldn't tell because the comic was in black and white...and that's not a medal, it's his rank. Same shape as the one he wore when he was a Majer, different color.

    Writing is easy. Editing is hard. Deleting and starting over, no matter how much time you've sunk into something you just know isn't right...well, that's called being an author.

    Best hashtag since #PrayForTedus

    It's tough. I spent a while developing a design that could lift off fine on Kerbin, but was too low in the water (or whatever liquid that is) on Laythe to get up to takeoff speed there. If none of the excellent design suggestions given here work for you, you could always try a more... Kerbal takeoff profile:

    No, that's sequintial. Ah, don't worry, I only need 111,111 more rep for the next one.
  8. Mister Dilsby
    Really appreciate that guys! We'll see, maybe this is the year I approach @SQUAD about license to publish Kerbfleet comics in some form or another.
  9. Mister Dilsby
    Aww, you guys are too nice. Really, I had no choice. I realized that unless they touched helmets or something to transmit sound waves, any conversation they had would have to be over suit radios--and it's established canon that the two sides each use a different signal encoding method that results in the words being "scrambled" relative to each other. (e.g. "Kenlie" becomes "Neelik") Hopefully somebody figures that out soon, so the other Kerbals and Kerbulans can...discuss matters If you mean the unexploded bombs @Geschosskopf noticed on the roof, I'm sure some cadet has set those off by now ETA: hey @Dman979, it you want to know, it was @KSK who made me sequential.
  10. Mister Dilsby
    Well, before things get out of hand I should hasten to add that @Dman979 is completely awesome and only gives rep when the post warrants it. My comment referenced the fact that as KSP players we are a numbers-oriented bunch, and some people DO give rep just to see an interesting one, like 1000, 1234, 1337, etc. It's an abuse of the system, and truly deplorable. Also, look at ME, I almost have 12345 rep! whooooooooooo!!!
  11. Mister Dilsby
    ^see, this right here is EXACTLY why we need a daily replike limit. It'd be just like the Number War, but with the whole Forum on Team (+)

    It is an authorized but unofficial transcript, which is much appreciated and mostly correct "Bad" and "Good" Kenlie are conversing by means of their strange connection, each one "writing" the other's dialogue. Gus doesn't appear (that's Gene), and the "that's not our drone!" line was supposed to be a Mission Control extra not Gene--but I used the wrong speech bubble so that's my fault I had to rewrite this part a bit from my original intent, because sometimes plot needs to travel at the speed of ship-- meaning, I had wanted Intrepid to be able to get to Kenlie much sooner but the orbital mechanics simply don't allow it. What was originally supposed to happen? Well, let's just say it involved a "BLAM!" effect, followed by an "ow!" and an ominous "hissssss"... anyway, this method of baiting the hook should work just as well, and is even more Kerbulan
  13. Mister Dilsby
    Welcome back! I admire your commitment to the Mission, and to the Report!
  14. Mister Dilsby
    Good analysis! Don't forget, also a very large and disturbingly asymmetric knife (Jeb), as well as various vintage tanks and planes from the Year Before Year Zero. As to the "dirty bomb", these are species that think nothing of strapping a lawn chair to a NERVA and flying next to the sun with it...radiation resistance is the least of our worries Argh, @Nimzo Kerman made exactly the same joke last week... Now ENOUGH of this levity! Back to the PAIN!
  15. Mister Dilsby
    No, I can't. The only official rules are the Forum Guidelines. I also cannot moderate the thread, as I am not a moderator. That's @Deddly's job. So, do I have a problem with people discussing what's next? Well, I suppose it's not my business to dictate the discussion either. What I can do is choose to participate, or not, and if any comments ever really bother me I guess I can block those users. Just don't expect a response from me, and you'll never be disappointed. In the meantime I'll continue writing this comic, for the benefit of those who are enjoying it.
  16. Mister Dilsby
    Thank you, and thank you. And at the risk of sounding rant-y, one more point: I love doing hours of work just to get a few screenshots so I can make a comic for you to enjoy. I love coming back to the thread a little while after doing so, to find a bunch of 'likes' and a bunch of comments. I do NOT love when the comments have nothing to do with the story I've worked so hard to craft. It makes me wonder whether that time and effort is wasted. Now, let's find some insightful comments to which I can reply. Ah, there's some! (and not the only ones ) I guess that depends on whether or not I believe in a no-win scenario. It also might depend on certain factors having to do with the comments, and the author's large ego (see above) Well, we can't take the chess analogy TOO literally. After all, what kind of game is it when you move to capture a pawn rescue a pod and someone comes out of it brandishing a pistol? But you can get a clue of what I meant in Nimzo's last line of the flashback. Despite EVA suit colors to the contrary, the Kerbulans are white--they made the first move, and have offered the Rockomaximus pod for rescue. Kenlie knows his opponent is playing a gambit; he's going to accept it, and perhaps play a gambit or sacrifice of his own (see: Kenlie's last words before leaving the bridge and the ominous chapter title--no, not my chapter, his chapter!) So yes, @Deddly, BOTH of your ideas might be right.

    Yes it is... but really there are a whole lot of other very similar examples. I wasn't referencing any particular one You can find the Pearl Harbor instance in the "Real Life" tab.
  19. Mister Dilsby
    Because no one except me could have answered that question, and it wasn't time to answer it until now. Yeah, it's almost as though I had a reason for putting in the timestamps...
  20. Mister Dilsby
    Nice! I very much like the 2 seat capsule, at first I thought you clipped up a Gemini out of stock parts but now I see it must be a custom 'stock-a-like'
  21. Mister Dilsby
    We'll see. I might not do a comic at all. But let's let me finish this one first OK?
  22. Mister Dilsby
    Yeah, I thought a six ton, hypersonic, invisible cruise missile might be a little OP. ETA: And oh yeah--well if anyone can "fire when bloaked", it'd be the Ghost!

  24. Mister Dilsby
    Well I didn't bring a PC on my holiday travels but I did do a little layout work anyway. Merry Christmas!
  25. Mister Dilsby
    You could add a "Thread of the Month December 2016!" sticker of your own making to the OP, then you'd have a permanent trophy on the shelf for new readers to see
