Hehe. My old UNSC Destroyer had a MAC velocity of over 400 m/s. Even that couldn't penetrate light armor. MAC cannons are just for show. They're more like the superconductors of the KSP universe. Obtainable, but currently bulky and inefficient.

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/12/nsa-has-vpns-in-vulcan-death-grip-no-really-thats-what-they-call-it/ These guys are hurting everyone... I guess the NSA never really cared, though. I thought the Vulcan Death Grip never existed. XD What the NSA shows after cracking a VPN.

Hehe... People seem to forget how bad structural physics used to be, especially when the old ASAS was on.

The TEL mechanism is progressing. Development was not easy. Cold launched missile. And the game keeps crashing. If that TEL system can be successfully used for heavier loads, I'll create a road mobile ICBM. Maybe a road mobile MX missile? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwnzG7nhm7M

It's an approximation. That's just a cracked cpu from a botched delidding.

Or cracked from excessive no2. Retro.

If he doesn't, he's going to get ripped off. As long as there's no excessive static and you don't spray conductive thermal paste on the cpu socket, it shouldn't be a challenge.

Haha. I like how the narrator pronounced Tornadoes... Also, GO NAVY...

I've learned to save my naval vessels in sections, but the Kraken decides that it likes to kill my saves too. KSP is just not that stable ATM.

The new editor seems more prone to kraken attacks too. I guess squad needs to clean up their code.

Agreed. If the computer is a general purpose machine, he'd better balance the cpu and gpu. A weak cpu does not make for a pleasant experience, especially if you have 20 tabs and multiple excel sheets open. Don't forget to have at least 8 GB's of ram. Any less, and you might as well get an ultrabook.

That's a moonshot proposal, incase he can stretch that budget. I'd recommend at least a GTX 750 ti, as that's the current sweet spot. It the budget is unchangeable, then you're going to have to compromise with the gpu. I can attest that KSP loves punishing GPU's with shadow rendering, as my over clocked GTX 760 can show with its thermals. So, really, don't cheap out to the level of a core 2 duo. The Pentium G 3258 is an amazing deal at under 70 bucks. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117374

I second this. You're not going to want anything under a fx 6300, even for KSP. I'd also recommend a gtx 760, as NVIDIA is slashing their prices in preparation for the gtx 960. Also, the gtx 960 might be a bad deal, especially with the rumor that it is crippled by a 128 bit memory interface. No amount of un utilized vram can fix that, as it'll only add more waste. Go for a decent prebuilt normal profile i5 pc with a decent psu, and a pcie 16 slot, then put in a gtx 750 ti. Should have no problems, unless you run linux or some crazy non windows os.

Then don't cheap out on the thermal paste. I once took apart my old i7 2670qm hp laptop and put stock thermal paste on the gpu. Never again.

I had a q6600. Unfortunately, a defective motherboard pin design may have fried it.

And, unlike Soviet Diesel guzzlers, the launcher is freakishly durable. I dropped it from space... no driver casualties...

Your shuttle sure helped. Also, work progresses on the Almaz-Antey S-300P missile complex.

When I started a forum war.

It is a nice idea, but the game just needs more refinement.

Speaking from experience, hinges and planes usually don't mix well, especially if the hinge isn't reinforced...

I used to use rockets and a structural pylon, but I'll try out your solutions. Also, I might try and apply that landing leg technique to my S-300P.

The current prototype s-300 system carries missiles with a 11-12 KM range along with excellent initial acceleration, vital for prompt engagements. The TEL has a single reinforced driver's seat, and it's freakishly durable... I even dropped it from space, and the driver compartment was okay... The space drop. Intact driver chair. Also, the MBDA Brimstone Mark I. 'evil laugh' After some experimentation with reinforced tandem warheads, I have officially christened the MBDA Brimstone Mark I. This compact 0.625 m missile takes out space center buildings with extreme accuracy and reliability. Time to VLS this bad boy. Bye bye artillery cannons.

Damn! Now those are some epic replicas! Care to give some tips on the TEL system?

Mk2 parts have plenty of impact resistance when underwater, and the mk3 keel on my JMSDF Okuma is tough. The Burke also has a subsurface and laterally stabilized mk2 surface keel. http://i.imgur.com/Bt38NHZ.jpg I'm on a new Iphone, so I can't link the ship image outside of my home.
