Please come to this thread to discuss planet creation and art, and not the employment status of the artist. It's really nobody else's business, and is off-topic in this thread. Thank you.

Happy (recent) Independence Day, and welcome to the forum.

Seek (discussion of mod use) and ye shall find (it in the mods affairs sub-forum).

I wouldn't buy that Rat 7 thing. I'd be afraid of it developing self-awareness.

If not, then you'd be well advised to use constructive criticism rather than intentionally antagonistic terms such as: I'm not speaking as a forum moderator right now. I'm simply saying that if your intent is truly to make things better, insulting and inflammatory language is counter-productive, and will make people less likely to listen to you.

What showcase guidelines would these be?

Did the primary buffer panel just fall off your gorram ship for no apparent reason? Fortunately, Jeb is a leaf on the wind.

I have a couple of notes for you. Some of the text blocks go away a little too quickly for me (and I am a fast reader!). And (something I usually forget to do) clear out other flights or start a new save before making the run you're going to record, so the screen isn't cluttered with the tracks of previous flights.

Welcome to the forum. If you want to help other players, the player questions subforum is a busy place.

Thread merged into the existing space station thread. And guys? If you see something you think needs to be acted upon, just hit the "report" button to call it to a moderator's attention, okay? No need to clutter up the forum with posts complaining about other posts.

Thank you for the kind words, guys. I tried to write a docking tutorial, but it was getting away from me and rivaling Moby Dick in length. Though now that you mention it, I am looking for a new project, and might take another bash at it.

Please, let's not get caught up in comparing degrees and types of injustice in this forum. Those who respect Mandela may leave notes consoling each other, while those who do not can just skip to the next thread.

Since the thread has mutated from KSP to science fiction in general, the off-topic lounge is a better home for it. Carry on.

Do you have pictures of it? Maybe you could find somebody to make another one for you.

The docking ring might have been booby-trapped! Very enjoyable read.

Sidoz11, if you click to edit the first post in the thread and then choose "go advanced," you can change the title of your thread.

As minerman30 says, you've encountered a fairly rare glitch that comes up when a Kerbal steps or falls onto the surface of a world. The only way to undo it is to quit the game to desktop, start it up again, and resume your most recent pre-glitch save.

jchad, your first thread didn't appear right away because your first few posts must be approved by a moderator in case you're a spambot. I've replied in your other thread, and will now close this one, since it's a duplicate.

Do you any parts placed where the Kerbal's head or feet might be overlapping the part when he emerges from the capsule? That causes spring-loaded badness which can send him flying. However, I've always been able to recover from that by turning RCS on, but you say that didn't work?

This ship showcase thread moved to the sub-forum where ships are showcased.

There is a terrific battle scene in Scott Westerfelds Risen Empire/Killing of Worlds. It combines some very high-tech with proper high-speed ship maneuvers, so it's a bit of both fanciful and realistic elements.

http://www.gog.com/game/darklands This is a 21 year old game. The interface will make you scream, but nothing else I've ever played rivals the wide variety of gameplay options.

Nobody is keeping score, Mcfisker. Play the game the way you think is fun. There's nothing to be ashamed of. However, the information in this thread is pretty old, and might mislead people rather than help them. I'm going to close the thread to avoid confusion, but if you have any specific questions, Mcfisker, please feel free to ask them or seek answers in more current threads. And check out the tutorials subsection, where you'll find guides to rendezvous and docking.

(The cis- prefix is the opposite of the more familiar trans- prefix, and comes from Latin. For example, the Roman region of Cisalpine Gaul was Gaul-on-the-near-side-of-the-Alps, and Transapline Gaul was Gaul-on-the-far-side-of-the-Alps. So cislunar space is space within the moon's orbit. We now return you to the actual topic of this thread, already in progress... )

I must disagree. If Squad was like the big companies, they'd have shoved it out the door a while ago and claimed it was finished. KSP is already more thoroughly debugged than major releases by Bethesda and Creative Arts.
