SolarLiner

One think I was wrong in this is that you don't even have to not install the DLL. A single cfg and you're opt-out. And you? Well, you made a whole C# Project (which by the way looking at the code, I don't really know how you know if ModStatistics is installed or not) to achieve this "delete the DLL" thing. Also, good luck in finding back the computer that is linked to the GUID. The only reason this is created is to have a way to identify the data (and not the guy or the computer) that comes in, and successfully gather statistics. Also, Anonymous: Not identified by a name. So {50fea-dthrj-3d21t-dgf32} is truly anonymous, along with the data the comes with it. Even SolarLiner is anonymous technically (except if you search it I guess you'll easily find who I am and coarsely where I live). It makes sense, too, because else even the ID that is linked to your account right here on the KSP forums would be a violation of the law somehow.

Really? ModStatistics a malware? Wow, I don't know what happens if a virus enters your system ... Seriously, ModStatistics collects Anonymously basic statistics, and paranoid users can always check out the source code so that they know exactly what gets sent. You don't like the mod? Fine. Don't install it. Literally, look at the zip file of the mod that contains it, and don't install the DLL. There's no need for a plugin. Also, ModStatistics sends your log file whenever there's a crash with a mod that supports it so the developers can find the bug faster.

I was going to say to the forums "Hey, you know SQUAD, it's only a bunch of if statements to check if there's enough parachutes to land the debris!" And then I saw this come out. Perfect.

Not now. blablabla the ten chars

No it's on page 300. Oh wait

Not today. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe not.

One of the most mysterious planets around here is probably Venus. The fact that she's rotating retrograde, that she could probably have a nicer atmosphere but doesn't ... And it has not been visited since a long time ! Phobos is also a good target, too, by the fact that it might have been captured by Mars back on the solar system's young age. In any case, getting back pictures would be a great achievement, especially where no other CubeSats has gone before. 100% in favour of that, I'll follow and support !

Technically only the Mun benefits the procedural crater generation right now. I don't know if the KSP API allows to touch planetary data (it should seeing the RSS mod), but a procedural terrain details generation on existing planets, and procedural planets generation for new system may be created as a MOD.

You're trying to make my mind explode right there! CHEAT ... Oh wait ... *mind explodes*

So, you tried to draw a duck in your signature, huh? CHEATER!

-snip- Also, about the more realistic solar system, Santeri Koivisto explains that "at the end, there will be an option to play in a more realistic solar system". The guy is from Teacher Gaming and works with the EDU version of KSP. He explained too that a flight recorder was already implemented, and there was plan to compare equations to a flight profile, along with extracting physical parameters out of a profile. I want the flight recorder so much, I want it to be on the stock KSP

I for one don't like seeing asterisks everywhere, it is like on some TV shows where beeps are so frequents you get a headache from that. It is ugly and unnecessary, and replacing asterisks with hearts is like replacing beeps with, I don't know, bird tweets. True, it does sounds a bit cooler, but at the end you just curse yourself (pretty ironic, isn't it? ^^) over those censored sounds, whatever it is. But, I also don't like censorship because we all know those forbidden words anyway, and I'm ironically like "ohh you fooled me, what's behind this censored part?". Plus kids already know those words too, and know are bad words already. It's like a bad habit that every single person has but everyone is trying to hide to others. I'm going all personal opinion and things (ohh, a alternate way to say the s-h word) but 99% of bad words everyone says is the F word, which has actual no offensive meaning. Even the "mother" word is starting to loose its offensive meaning now (yeah, it's a little bit, and you have to go "special" places to hear everyone being nicknamed as this m word ^^) As I was writing this, I was watching Vsauce's "Why are bad words Bad?"! Meh, this conversation is so mental I can't even handle this [s word] right now I know that you the moderators try to keep this forum as peaceful as possible, and I respect and like that, but I think that curse words are not used anymore to hurt others. You get to be so creative sometimes that speaking with the most politically correct language you can still bring your opponent to its knees. The F, S and other curse words are now mainly used as a quick way to say "oh I hate what happened and I'm actually quite angry about it". I own a YouTube channel, but actually never gave a single [f word] about what curse words I say because it is part of me, part of my commentary, and I don't want to start to search for politically correct other words because 3 people will get mad at me because I said that. (I never actually checked what my channel rating is) So yeah, TL;DR I don't like censorship very much, but I understand why it is here.

Slingshots. The perfect planet for that. It has the same gravity as Earth (well, almost), it goes faster than Earth (because it is closer to the Sun), so you can get more dV than Earth. Now Mercury would be an even better target for slingshots, but the Sun is playing against the spacecraft, and it is slightly smaller than Titan, so pretty hard to miss (and see how hard it is to get to Moho? Well, same applies for Mercury). That's not for nothing that almost all spacecrafts headed to the Outer planets (and further away) slingshot with Venus (Voyagers, Pioneers, Galileo, Cassini, New Horizons). And it is not called Venus for nothing

No, because if you want to achieve geosynchronous you need not to move relatively to the planet's surface. This is why for Earth/Kerbin, you need to have 0 equatorial inclination. Here with the Mun, you'd need to be in the same orbital plane, and have the exact same AP and PE, else you will do a sort of "pendulum move" relatively to the surface. But anyway such an orbit is useless because of Kerbin.

I just hate when I'm with a sniper rifle and then everyone is yelling at me "FKNG CAMPER!" when I'm 700m away trying to get an headshot. Campers are the ones waiting you on the corner, shooting you and then going to maybe another corner, to wait for someone else. In the Battlefield series, snipers are just as useful as a Medic (especially in open maps where you have clear vision) but people just doesn't seem to understand that. My country is even worse because there's this special community aged between 12 and 16 that comes from Call of Duty and plays like when they are on CoD: "HEY Lemme make a trick shot!!!!! OMG 360 NOSCOPE ERMAGHERD!!" <- In French this is actually even worse than it can sound like, because I stripped every curse word those kids can say. The funniest part is actually before most disconnects, its like "Mom noo why now? I was having the best k/d ratio in my life! Fk you mum!" *user left the session* Oh, I have to say that this behaviour is especially on consoles, fortunately on PC the minds are different, and I have the greatest memories of team work capturing back all the flags taken by ennemies. But sometimes you just find some of these CoD kids on PC too ruining your sniper cover. I have diverted a little bit from the main subject, have I?

Yet the experiments made by dozens of users says the opposite. AND, if that was more efficient to go straight up, why would no rockets in real life do this instead of using a parking orbit? The answer is: it is NOT more efficient. IRL as in KSP. When you go straight up, the basic formula is speed=thrust - gravity - atmospheric drag - planet rotation ( - planet orbital velocity if going for the inner planets) When you use a parking orbit, the basic formula is speed = thust - atmospheric drag + planet rotation - gravity then speed = thrust + lateral velocity ( + gravity if using Oberth effect) There is only so much forces helping you when you use a parking orbit that it feels useless to even attempt going straight up. For my part, I tend to go too lightweight on my rockets that I often dont have enough dV budget, but at least if they need to be maneuverable, I can easily make them maneuverable. Don't adapt the challenges to your capacities, adapt your capacities to your challenge.

Pro: PARTY IN THE ROCKET ALL THE TIME! Con: This night ... So boring ... Feet are replaced with engines.

Technically not made from scratch but hey, that may count as artwork tho

It's on its way. But the Tweakables system from the KSP API does not allow to simply let you write something. So the devs are playtesting on methods that lets you actually choose something. However I didn't hear any updates on that feature since quite some times, so I don't really know how well it is implemented. Time will tell on that.

I stick with MechJeb because I'm used to work with it. I don't use the autopilots (expect the attitude autopilot), but its layout is far better for me, because I'm used to it. I tested KER, and it didn't cut it off for me. MJ2 FTW!

- kOS (with IDE) - MechJeb 2 (Used to its informations, never got that comfortable with KER) - KW Rocketry

Not if it relies on P/Invokes. That's what prevents me from going into Mono and release Linux binaries.

The giant pony doesn't see you and crush you. I wish for a self-aware companion robot.

Nope there isn't. Currently the workaround is to create an error on purpose so that the script stops working.

Yes, that circuit, will it be used? (andd has it been used? I didn't find any links back to the original competition, sepite my searches) And brace for PMs !
