I can think of a use for them, if you tinker with them a bit and give them a slightly larger range, point in case, the "new" lost in space on netflix, the jupiter's are technically lifeboats of the main transport ship.

figured out my problem, nvidia's in game overlay uses alt-f12 to toggle fps display in your recording....keeps ksp from using alt-f12 to open the debug menu

dont know if its just me, or if its already been discussed but the alt-f12 menu is not opening?

just tried it for the first time....apparently my station is just a little bit too high for the solid boosters to get it into the atmosphere.....fortunately Jeb apparently ate beans before getting into the pod, so the rcs had enough to nudge him into the upper atmosphere.... edit....it did get me down from 225K to around 71-72K so not much more was needed in my case (thats with full srb fuel)

i deleted the ckan registry file, let ckan rebuild it on next launch...manually deleted the mods that ckan said were not installed (from my ckan cache) and reinstalled....everything working fine now

first time ever having problems with ckan, this is the error log it generates (right before it closes) Unhandled exception: Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: Unexpected end when deserializing object.

first good to hear that they will still be devnotes....

I think (imho) that it will be FREE updates/expansions for PC users and as is common, PAID expansions for the consoles. but that is just my opinion.

I must apoligize for my rudeness as well (and my lack of spelling ability), it has been years since i've written any code of my own...but i do appreciate how long it takes to do it (and even longer to do it correctly). To all of squad, take your time...we (your loyal players) are NOT going anywhere......and to all the modders out there, THANK YOU for sharing with us your creative visions.

if you dont like it you can come up with the cash and form your own software company and make your own damm game and then deal with forum users like you who are evidently ungrateful for all that you DO have in KSP now and be happy and a bit patient. If it was easy to do, there would be millions of different versions of KSP out there and you would (probably) be poodleing about all the choices you would have to make....sorry...i need to stop ranting.... im glad the forum took out all my harsh language (poodleing LOL)

signed...although I'm a little dissapointed that im number 6

could you add some attachment points...its really hard to add a shield to the bottom (and have it expand to cover the engines) if i can attach it centered (my last craft the shield was slightly off center and the left side of the craft spontaneusly dis-assembled during reentry

you could always go thru your gamedata folders and delete the specific parts that you dont use, but would have to do that every time you update your mods

and this was announced today, for later this week (and some great engine pics on the site as well) https://astro-pi.org/get-involved/watch-the-launch/

well considering i said i was getting 404 errors at dropbox and not spaceport...and was getting that error before the old forums got moved...i dont get the error for an older version of this mod that is on dropbox (its a 2 year old download link that still works)

is there a working download link to the latest beta version? link that is listed in this thread gives a 404 error at dropbox

glad to hear that your still in the land of the living at least....glad to see you back posting

https://www.raspberrypi.org/ has anyone considered this for your cpu needs? dual core, lots of build in ram, low power consumption and cheap (now only $25) i havent had a chance to search thru the whole thread so I'm sorry if it has been suggested before... https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/rocket-launch-onboard-pi/

I've donated 50k funds...I'm a rich kerbal, who isn't too bright...but its nice to see other things explode in the sky apart from my own.

EA so you want squad to start charging us for each individual part, then dump the entire program.... You sir, should just uninstall KSP right now and save yourself some heart ache

Present Sir!

saw this pop up as active post and got my hopes up that it had been updated to 24.2

I walk into the living room just in time to see Jeb Kerman Vs I cant seem to find where they downloaded it at but there is someone else's youtube video

0thats it. I had ended up with multiple saturn parts and had deleted the parts that I though were the ones that I didnt need (since i didnt think i needed two identical looking set of parts) but yes, its the japanese booster that I was after. thanks for all the help everyone.
