  1. Hmm for some reason, whenever I have the GUI open and I eject, or release or do anything with a winch with a grapple on it, the GUI just goes blank and then none of the buttons or controls for the winch work.
  2. Is it just me or does MechJeb not do polar orbits anymore, no matter what i set the inclination to, it\'s always a equitorial object. MunCake, are you sure you haven\'t run out of fuel, or set the height too low in the ascent autopilot?
  3. Would love a smaller version, say the size of the small half tank, for smaller rockets, with a smaller capacity, say, 3 kerbals max, sure they can be crammed in there.
  4. Halestorm, great band with an incredibly powerful female lead.
  5. For some reason, the loading bar stops at CSS5SegmentSRB after freshly installing it., left it for ages and its stuck there.
  6. Looks rather Tomb Spydery.
  7. A Jerk, lording it over his fellow marines with his collection.
  8. They don\'t represent lost battle brothers, nor are they battle honours (although they may be awarded after a battle) A purity seal indicates that the person who owns it, or the armour that it is affixed to, is pure of mind, spirit, purpose and body. Essentially marking them fit for battle. Often containing an oath, or valediction of the wearers purity. 1. No, the warp is localised and limited to our own galaxy, it does not extend beyond our galaxy. 2. Not quite, although the Eye of Terror is the main focal point for daemonic incursions into the materium, Chaotic forces of a non daemonic nature (Traitor Astartes, Traitor Guard etc etc) are usually free to roam, although any forces stationed in the EoT have to breach the cadian gate in order to expand further. No, because not only of the vast gulf of space between galaxies, but so far, galaxies are either dead, emptied by the Tyranids, or reportedly full of Orks.
  9. I suppose replica weapons can be classed as fake weaponry (since they pretty much aren\'t made to be used at all) in which case

    Paradox

    That\'s just so wrong, but it\'s 4am so I\'m too tired to go into detail to explain anything further than: If history from the point that you were convieced and developed, hadn\'t happened EXACTLY as it did, you would not exist, Hell, if conception had been delayed or hurried for whatever reason, ranging from the act taking longer, to it being shorter, to stuff even like room temperature, you most likely wouldn\'t have been concieved.
  11. Heres the video that its from, Judge Judy FTW, should have lots of usable moments in the video. http://youtu.be/X2_wJYzGOLQ
  12. So, I was just watching some youtube videos when I come across a guy who looks remarkably kerbal like!

    Finished my first chainmail dice bag!
  14. Funny, not too long ago you said the people who were against it 'didn\'t matter'
  15. So it Begins, Megaupload just got nailed by the US DoJ

    Well with Roman Armour, you have 3 choices, Lorica Segmentata (essentially early partial plate) Lorica Hamata (maille) and Lorica Squamata (Scales)

    By the way, there\'s a video of me making chainmail. http://www.twitch.tv/rayvenq/b/305683679

    Chainmail!

    For chainmail? in the past, yes, and the estimated time i mentioned, doesn\'t even factor in the hand forming of wire from metal stock, turning them into rings via a mandrel and then cutting the individual rings off from a coil (nowadays there\'s ways to do it via machinery so it can be a lot quicker making the rings.)

    Time consuming? Yes, Fiddly? Yes, inherently difficult? No, at least not for the basic european pattern, infact, usually it was blacksmith apprentices who were given the task of putting one together, and as for expense, hardly, theres probably less metal involved than in plate armour. Once you become proficient at it, its relatively simple to make, and a shirt would take about 48-60 hours depending on the skill and speed of the smith involved.

    Got some actual chainmail done this time! Small patch laid the right way unstretched: Same patch the right way, stretched out:

    While the other rings I\'ll be ordering are simple butted rings, they would actually be battle ready, as in actually able to to take a full blow from a proper sword and, at worse, losing just a few links, if that. Well, I got my rings, the silver plated ones, much earlier than I expected. So here\'s what I\'ve been doing the last hour or so. rings 6mm across on the inside.

    Maybe, but making a mail shirt alone would cost £105 for the base materials (approx 21,000 rings) and upwards of 40+ hours of work. Assuming everything goes right I plan to at first make Dice bags and simple jewelry, just to get my eye in.

    So, is anyone else into this wonderous art? Myself, I\'ve been practisng with low quality hand wound rings (wound myself) which are really terrible solidity wise, but still good for practising weaving and using the pliers to close the rings. I am however, taking the next step, I recently ordered3,000 silver plated rings, to make chain jewelry out of, and will soon be ordering 10,000+ Spring Steel rings. Tips for Beginners: Buy premade rings, sure it\'s slightly more costly, but unless you have access to rotary power tools and saws, it is a real pain to hand wind and cut the rings you need. A Good way to practise is to use cheap plastic curtain rings, they\'re a lot bigger, but using them for practise helps you get a beter understanding of the weave and how to put it together, that you may miss with smaller rings. Patience, it is a slow, tedious process that if you don\'t have patience, will make it all that more difficult. My stuff: Not got much in the way of anything to show, except for practise pieces. European 4-1 Ribbon European 4-1 Sheet (made by weaing ribbons together, silver rings are the middle of each individual ribbon) Full Persian Chain (this is a type of chain that isn\'t meant to be made into a sheet, but can be attached to the edges of them) Also known as Box or Birdcage weave. Some random jewelry pattern i made one. Resources: Tutorials etc - www.mailleartisans.org/ Maille Artisans League, spectactular wealth of knowledge collected here, want to know how to make a weave? there will be tutorials Premade Rings- http://www.theringlord.com/ A fantastic site for Canadians and Americans, has a wealth of rings, links, scales and other resources and tutorials, sadly for ordering rings internationally, the shipping is ridiculously expensive Premade Rings - http://www.armchair-armoury.co.uk/ A good selection of rings, not as wide as TRL, but still a nice enough selection for us UK people, with rings from as little as £5 per thousand. So anyone wanting to get into the art of making chainmail, feel free to ask questions!
