We just had to close a similar thread because people in it were attacking each other personally. Keep the discussion here civil, or we will have to close this one as well.

It seems the argument here turned personal and nasty days ago. Time to move on to other discussions, folks.

Making something like this also occurred to me, but I was sure no one else here would be old enough to remember that show. :D

I suspect the trouble you're having is those fins forcing the nose to lead and take most of the heat until it fails. Re-entering with a side facing the direction of motion creates more drag, slows you more effectively, and helps distribute heat across multiple parts. [img]http://i.imgur.com/1VPuptp.png[/img] Can you move fuel between tanks to shift the center of mass toward the back? Probably not enough, in the craft you've pictured, but worth a try?

So did Avera9eJoe get eaten or what?

Knock off the personal attacks and get back to the topic, please.

Hi Carrotcake85. Wlecome to the forum. :D

I am a long-time member. It does feel great. Welcome to the forum. :D

Thread moved to the sub for player-made videos.

Make a fresh install and copy your save files over. This will continue your existing campaigns with the new version of the game. However, some of your craft designs might not work the same way they used to. Haven't noticed any forum balkiness today, myself.

With regard to some removed posts, please just hit the report button rather than reply yourselves. Nobody needs to read through off-topic arguments to find the actual content. But yes, posing a question politely is more likely to get you a helpful response.

This would require the forum software to check each of the [COLOR=#3E3E3E]153,098 forum accounts every week to see if it has been active. Setting that up would be a bit of a project. I'm sorry, but I don't see this happening. [/COLOR]

Oh, no. I am totally not jealous. :mad:

Okay, I tried your ship. 4 steerable winglets near the bottom of the central stack are enough to keep it from flipping during ascent, and it does have more than enough fuel. As disembodied points out, the radiators were the power drain, and are not needed on this ship. The design has a couple of other problems, but I don't want to ruin the learning experience by fixing everything for you. :D Let me know if you would like more tips, though.

Hi valli. I'm one of the forum's moderators, and I have moved your post to its own thread. :D I'm afraid I'm not clear about the nature of your question, though. I think science labs might be the best place for it, but could you describe the problem in more detail?

Hi BenCushwa. We have several real space guys on the forum. I am not one of them. :)

No hurry, KaijuFace. Kerbals enjoy being stranded, even up to years at a time. :) Welcome to the forum.

Hi Trangquil. Welcome to the forum. That may be a bug, or it may be that you are not backing off the required 10m distance necessary to reset the docking ports before docking again. Is that possibly the issue?

This suggestion has been moved to Suggestions.

We keep these kinds of the threads in the off-topic sub, and so, moved.

1. This is how it's supposed to work. Add batteries or something that generates power. 2. Haven't tried your ship yet. 3. These instructions are for a previous version of the game, and aerodynamics have changed a lot since then. Make a more gradual turn, and add fins to the lower end of the ship, or take some other measures to make it more stable. Will try your design later. :)

Well guy, you're not the first person to confuse Kerbal Space Program with the solubility product constant, but maybe somebody here can answer the question for you anyway. :D

There are some long-inactive accounts which would suddenly be high-rep.

I live in California and did when the power kept going out during the power shortages a few years ago. But mine stayed on because I lived near a fire station, and they have to have power for safety reasons. Neener. Later, of course, it was revealed that the whole thing was an Enron scam to charge California emergency rates, and we'd had plenty of power the whole time.
