Consider the moderator's comment as directed at OP as well, and move on, please.

Pictures of the ship are usually enough to diagnose problems like this. Can you upload some screenshots to Imgur or one of the other image-sharing sites and include their links in your posts?

How about this?

Gabealicious, you happened to be posting between times we sent approvals through.

I have never noticed if I get more females than males, or whatever. A kerbal's a kerbal.

Since this thread was created, there have been substantial changes to aerodynamics and engines. Feel free to create a new thread on the subject, but we'll be closing this thread now so that people are not confused by a mixture of new and old information.

Hi CrashTestDanny. Welcome to the forum.

Mod question moved to the mod subforum.

As your questions are specifically about mods, the thread has been moved to the modding section of the forum.

Could you be more specific? Are you having trouble installing them? Or what is the issue?

Looks like this thread ran its course a while back. Time to let it return to the grave from whence it came.

Can't be done in stock. I will move your thread to the modding section so someone can suggest something for you.

This is the smallest thing I've been able to put in orbit in version 1.x.

Religious matters such as the nature and probability of a god are beyond the scope of this forum, and inevitably lead to acrimonious arguments. Please restrict discussions here to space science, and take the religious aspects to other fora.

This was intended to be a memorial thread. This forum is not a place to discuss national characters, civil rights political arguments, or terrorism policy.

It's Ask the Moderators, not Ask the Modders.

No need to get nasty over it. Dial back the ill-temper, please.

It is done automatically, Eunomiac, but not always right away. I imagine it's been done by now, though.

Moved to modded support. And yes, it sounds like the wings were mounted in radial.

If you would care to write some, and keep it updated, radically altering, adding, or deleting major passages each time a new version of the game necessitates major changes, then be my guest.

CKAN will not be made stock in 1.2, the thread has gone wildly off-topic, and Steam Workshop has been ruled out long ago and is on the What Not to Suggest list. Time to move on to other discussions, please.

Two distinct things are getting mixed together here. The heat shields in the game now are "abalative," which means they work by shedding material. The material gets hot, then is eroded away by the gas flow, taking the heat with it. Relatively inexpensive materials can be used for this (relatively!), and they can only be used once. By contrast, the shuttle's shield was made out of unusual materials which would absorb and re-radiate a great deal of heat without suffering damage, but with the added problem that they would break or come loose occasionally, requiring maintenance between every flight. So they were re-useable in concept, but still couldn't go straight from one re-entry to another. In short, re-useable shields are a very different thing, and would need to be handled differently in the game.

Just a clarification: threads can be rated in most subforums, but individual posts can not be rated anywhere.

Well, you're here now. Welcome.
