  1. Nope. You are in Kerbin's sphere of influence. Kerbin itself is in Kerbol's sphere of influence. This relationship does not form an enclosed triangle. It's a straight line. relationship A != relationship B here.
  2. It's a 'somewhat decent' analog. Right now, the biggest difference is that your rocket can only be in the gravitational influence of one thing at a time. IE, if you're in Kerbin Orbit, you're only affected by the gravity of Kerbin, not Mun, Minmus, Kerbol, etc.
  3. I'd love to see the old small liquid fuel tanks come back... I loved those things... =\
  4. So I've checked the keybindings in the wiki and now I have to ask... What button do you use to plant a flag? EDIT: Never mind. Found immediately after asking you have to right click the Kerbal to plant.
  5. Because most mods for most games add things that are stupidly overpowered. As for the religion question, the OP will answer that if you read it closely.
  6. I'm a purist, but don't you go putting any God or religion near my KSP. I'm quite content to show the world that I can do everything modders can do with the bare bones I'm given in stock parts. Besides, I don't like my experience cheapened by mods. If I did, I'd use cheats.
  7. I'd also add 'docking large vessels' to that list, but that's just me. For me, especially getting a BIG space plane up there, an SSTO is hard work.
  8. It's a nice idea, but that's a lot of expenditure and effort to get rid of one decoupler...
  9. I'm surprised you got to Jool with that. For my probe I needed this: Admittantly, I packed tons of extra fuel for non aerobraking procedures and extra fuel for my screw ups (I wing it. I learnt through trial and error rather than mathematics), but that's what I needed to get me into a Jool orbit. Well done on using far less.
  10. So I finally managed to balance the lift and thrust vs weight of my new mega spaceplane. Got to the end of the runway, tilted up just a little too much... And ripped off 3/4 of my engines on the lip of the runway. It ended shortly after that and very poorly. Let's just say it was the most expensive fireball I've yet made...
  11. I spent time working on the still incomplete Colony Plane Ark.
  12. I know this thread is supposed to be satirical... But god dammit, it makes me groan. Couldn't read past page 3 before wanting to throw my keyboard through the internet at some of you.
  13. I can't help but be worried that if I put things like space stations or interplanetary bases up now, when they do bring in life support, suddenly all the inhabited bases will suddenly find when the update is applied that, well ****, they don't have life support... Hence why I'm holding off on any manned/mannable space stations or planetary bases... On topic: Nice base. Looks a bit... Unwieldy. Must have been a pain in the ass to fly.
  14. I know it seems crazy, but in KSP, less is more in almost every case. I was able to get to the Jool system with a LOT of fuel left over with this: You shouldn't have much of a problem getting to Eve with a much smaller craft. Take the approach that Lotus does with cars. Don't ask 'what extra can we do with?', but instead ask 'what can they do without'? It's a fine art that takes practice. Just play around until you find something. Best of luck!
  15. Not much of a flag, but it will be the basis I work from. I haven't much experience in any form of real image editing or creation anyway.
  16. I see, I\'ll look into that. It\'s weird, I managed to get one of the preloaded Novapunch ships to work, but when I made my own that just had a single Novapunch command capsule, parachute, decoupler, single fuel tank and rocket the game crashes... And yet I can make overly complex ships with the KSP vanilla parts into a 18 stage orbiting satellite drop and mun lander rocket all in one and the game has almost no problem. (big drop in frame rate for about 20 seconds from the moment of engine ignition) But that\'s because I\'m running like 40 solid fuel rockets for the first stage.
  17. Well, like I said man I can run BF3, 30 tabs of Chrome, watch a movie in WMP and listen to music in Winamp all at the same time no problem. =\ But the error reports from KSP I get show that KSP eats all my RAM and tells me: 'Not enough.' Well, I assume that\'s what it implied when it says 'Read from location 00000000 caused an access violation.'
  18. I\'d really, really love to use this mod because it looks amazing, but even with all the graphical settings set to minimal, it still crashes every time I get to the launch pad with the \'out of memory\' error. I don\'t want to sound rude, but if I can run Battlefield 3 on full graphics settings alongside Chrome with 30 something tabs open, watch a movie, listen to music in Winamp and have 6 different IM programs up and running at once without any of them suffering problems, then I don\'t think it\'s my PC that\'s the problem. Please remember, we\'re running desktops here. Not server stacks or Supercrays. =\
