Wayward

A month of casual tinkering and mods, perhaps another true kerbal triumph...trees on Duna! I can't upload pics, but put a small version in my signature

Some of my favs to date 1. Sunrise 2. Pulling Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's 3. Slingshot around the sun #1 4. Slingshot around the sune #2 5. Going commercial

Messing around with parts, landings..., landing things close together is very tough apparently...but here's a start:

IMHO, Redspar's Eagle is the best ship to date. Great work sir! o7

KNN (Kerbal News Network) – FLASH: In a stunning demonstration of total disregard to Environmental Law and International Treaties, Orbital Anvil Technologies (OAT ; up 18% in early morning trading) launched its proto-type nukular rocket and landed it at its Mun base nicknamed Mun Station Zebra. Sometime in the dead of night the vehicle was launched unannounced and not appearing on any launch schedules. Several international monitoring stations picked up the radioactive plume from the new engine and activated automated alert messages. Only afterward, in what was obviously a pre-planned, short-notice press conference did OAT spokeswoman Marge Sweetwater, Lead Designer for the reactor’s shielding address the large, hastily gathered crowd, she ended the meeting answering gently, putting people at ease regarding the reactor being safe and properly protected; “It will be all right, we put that sh_t on everything….†Have a good week, heading out for a road trip for work, so I thought I would leave with a laugh.

hmmm...submarines...I wonder if it could do that in the ocean off the launch pad.... : I attached a zip file with two parts 1. pod 2. parachute Details 1. it is a zip file, please extract it to a temporary folder, I am not an expert with winzip 2. they are just parts folder, no plugins, etc 3. they are retextured from REAL parts builder, I tried to clearly recognize that in the description, if there is a standard way to acknowledge original authers, if someone could point me to that thread or instruction I will respect that. Hope it is worth your time to use :thumbup:

'For the FROGGER craft, I\'m assuming you just built the module on top of the command pod and when you detached, the command pod became its front?' --- YES 'And for the Zebra Station, which part mods are you using? Are those rockets just retextured rockets from the Suyez pack?' ---- YES, I found a camo pattern that I liked, used it as a general overlay on top of the stock .PNG file, I think this is where I caused my self my own problems when I moved to 15, but that is just a guess. 'I also like the command module you used for both; I\'m looking for something a bit more 'egg-shaped'. ----Thanks, again from another mod pack, just repainted , added a little nose art circa 1940\'s, added some 'armor' by slighlty toughing it up through the .cfg file parameters. I think I got the pod and its parachute working again, once I test it when I get home this week, I will zip it up and put it here in this thread

sorry I missed this note, when I went to 15, some of the pieces didnt work right, probably do to my poor texture hacking, I am rebuilding it, most of it can be accomplised with the EAGLE mod pack, small increases in strenght of legs, a bit more power to the thrusters. I am rebuilding a new version

The best I was able to do, was to land vertical and 'tilt' it off....a bit stressful, but it works....

OUTFRIGGINSTANDING !!!!

Went ahead and spent the $15 on the retail version, well worth it, first landing on the ice Still playing around with mods, and I have to add may the Internet gods bless MechJeb!!...It got me off the orital-mechanics short bus...o7

Well of course with all good things, minor tweaks turn into full fledged re-engineering.... So with the help and credit to, many of the real parts-packs engineers, I give you F.R.O.G.G.E.R.... the 'Far-point Reconnaissance Orbital Gimballed-Gantry Exploration Rig' It flies, it lands, it hovers, it drives..... put it on a big enough rocket and the solar system is open!

Not sure where else to put this, but a friend of mine who works in the aircraft engine world sent me this shuttle vid. Best one I have seen in a while, thought I would share....I already want to capture pieces of the sound for some KSP sound file changes enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?feature=player_embedded&v=2aCOyOvOw5c#

yup, I wanted to learn how to do basic modifications, so was experimenting with texture changes, I am not up to actually modeling parts quite yet, so used some other custom parts as a baseline. I thought the camo theme came out pretty cool, so if there is some interest in those parts, I can share them.

Thanks all, learning the game and some parts mods with the demo; i will probably get the retail version soon, I can\'t tell you how many brave kerbalnauts have given their lives to entertain me .. I think I owe their familes 15 bucks.... Getting closer to landing on the Mun, I apparently am a lousy orbital mechanic right now... but I guess any landing you can walk away from is a good one...

Mission Control: Bill ...you copy? Bill: yup Mission Control: Could you put down the jeager and tang for a moment and take a look at the frickin mountain in front of you! Jeb: Yeah I see it! Looks cool, I\'ll take a picture for you! Bill: Great idea Jeb! Mission Control: Never mind......... *********static**********

just messing with Parts folders and mods...it should be done pretty soon, having a challenge with sound files for some reason.

been enjoying the demo, this game is more interesting than the comical stuff would lead you to.... just missed:

well, the green body-count is getting a little substantial now...have to do some reading up on getting to the Mun, I keep messing up on that piece...off to you-tube I guess....

Just wanted to say hi to fellow kerbanauts! Just downloaded the demo and am learning how to not be an internet lawn dart, progress is slow, ranks of volunteers don\'t seem to be thinning out though
