  1. It's the Squad monkey, and the text reads "SQUAD"
  2. Upload the image to imgur.com. After you have uploaded the image, copy the "BBCode" link, then paste it into the box. It should look something like this -
  3. After many explosions, and many failed staging set ups, I have finally launched ScienceTank to Duna! The landing system does not utilise a skycrane, and instead uses a system more akin to Spirit/Opportunity. I tried to make the rover look like Curiosity, but it kind of looks roughly like the lovechild of Spirit/Opportunity and Curiosity The launch - The cruise stage arrives at Duna Preparing for entry into the Dunan atmosphere Due to a miscalculation, the parachute needed to deploy early to gain some emergency drag, otherwise there was a good chance we may have had an impact probe rather than a lander. The parachute shortly thereafter snapped/burnt off, leading to an emergency firing of the landing engines! Aaaanddd...Touchdown! Rover and Base landed and deployed! The rover communicates to the base via the small antenna, and the base then signals back to KSC using the big dish antenna!
  4. The beginning of "only me could feel this way" would really fit drifting over the surface of Jool. It should keep a light, airy tone.
  5. Sure, this could work in a vacuum. But not here, where we're surrounded by gas that likes to get very warm when something moves through it that quickly.
  6. Hope they brought heat-shields...
  7. A giant version of the snake in a can, except it's high explosives, and it obliterates the station if opened. There, that explains everyone's stations exploding in 0.19, right?
  8. The rusty parts at the island base have undergone some changes, namely the engine and tank are no longer rusty, and the old capsule, while rusty, is the wrong size. It has been scaled up.
  9. I like Wehrble Kerman, it's nice to say. Veeerrrrrrbullllll. Along with him is Shelrod and Guslin Kerman.
  10. None, actually! I've started a new permadeath run. I came /very/ close to losing three Kerbals on a Mun mission, when the lander impacted at 70m/s, leaving only the capsule to tumble down the side of a crater! A rescue craft brought them back, where they were recovered by plane. They have since performed a Minmus mission, and left many a flag in their wake, telling their story.
  11. I have a capsule left on the Mun, empty. A hundred meters away lies the four descent motors of the automated rescue craft. There is a flag at the capsule and the debris of the lander, telling the story of the fated Last Light mission. On Kerbin, there is an empty capsule, once again with a flag. About halfway between KSC and the landing site lies a rescue plane which ran out of fuel, then next to that lies the debris of a rescue plane. I'm thinking of uploading my save file so people can see the story of Last Light, by reading the flags.
  12. Explosions actually generate a shockwave, which can be used to launch Kerbals great distances.
  13. KSP has completely altered my career choices, and has led to me taking the relevant GCSEs, and in future, A and AS levels pertaining to astrophysics. I'd quite like to either be a professor of astrophysics, or work as part of a university research team.
  14. I was only testing if the engines produced a mystery force like the OP suggested.
  15. Good idea. Will redo tests, but I feel difference will be negligible. If you feel like drawing up all the different arrangements for four engines, I'll do it.
  16. TEST 3 - Non-Gimballing engines, No SAS used, no control input other than throttle. IN THE VAB TWENTY SECONDS INTO FLIGHT At twenty seconds, the craft had deviated wildly up and left, and had also rolled a little.
  17. Sorry for the break in testing, my mouse ran out of battery. To answer Chris' question, These are the non-gimballing LV-T30 engines. As this is a test of whether engines produce a mystery force, I will not add more winglets or reaction wheels. I am going to repeat these tests, however, with the reaction wheels disabled, and see if that makes a difference.
  18. TEST 2 - One engine rotated 180 degrees. No gimball or control inputs. IN THE VAB AFTER TWENTY SECONDS Deviated slightly down and left. Most stable of the three configurations.
  19. TEST 1 - Both engines aligned same way. No gimball or control inputs. IN THE VAB AT TWENTY SECONDS Craft had deviated up and left of the centrepoint.
