  1. You can use Windows Enterprise for 270 days, actually. All you need to do is to use slmgr -rearm command. Run command prompt as administrator, type slmgr -rearm, press Enter, reboot. Guide with pictures: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-7/extend-the-windows-7-trial-from-30-to-120-days/
  2. If Kuznetov say their engines worked fine because they worked fine then that means they are pulling statements out of their ass. To say honestly, I don't understand why they might want to do that because the truth will get out anyway.
  3. YES! I am so glad!! It must be Ukrainian fuel tank then, poor guys
  4. I can't google this statement. Help needed
  5. I made screenshots of this moment, watch them from top to bottom: http://i.imgur.com/dS6979Y.jpg http://i.imgur.com/2ga1NXM.jpg http://i.imgur.com/fKvO2zj.jpg http://i.imgur.com/XZWfhwh.jpg Looks like an explosive bolt (?). Also, as someone has already said, flame color changed a couple of seconds before the explosion: //top to bottom http://i.imgur.com/tPlyvtT.jpg http://i.imgur.com/C94SJry.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ZNog7AB.jpg
  6. I am not a rocket scientist but it looks like 100% engine failure to me. Reminded me of the second N1 launch: http://youtu.be/TqUG5NnHlCs?t=5m45s If the engine is indeed the reason of failure, I definitely would like to know if it is an engineering error or fundamental design flaw. Also, how did this engine pass all Aerojet QA?
  7. I think it is an awesome idea! Two new contract types: Ignition test: ignite the engine in certain conditions Max burn time test: burn the engine for 50/110/150 seconds in certain conditions Hm, I've just had a thought: why not to add Max burn time parameter to all engines?
  8. I didn't know about CVEL and Velcro, thank you. Does Velcro have the same physical model as in KSP where physics is calculated for every part of the rocket or it simply welds all parts together and calculates physics for the rocket as a whole? I hope my question is easy to understand, my English is pretty bad.
  9. What?! KSP is still the only game that allows you to build the rocket yourself.
  10. Sorry if repost https://twitter.com/Maxmaps/status/524974197551149056
  11. OK, here is what I think of traits: reducing heat generation - NO!!! boosting thrust - NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! increasing fuel efficiency - NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! boosting science output - I can live with that Why? Two reasons: 1. Pilot can't increase ISP or thrust no matter how skilled he is 2. KSP is a game about sharing your experience with others. There are 96,630 posts in Spacecraft exchange forum. If you implement Kerbal Exp system as is, players won't be able to share crafts from the career because ship performance will depend on pilot. Ships made for sandbox will also be useless in career mode I vote "no". Please, don't turn KSP into Call of Duty.

  14. I personally think developers should add as many contract types as possible. I don't understand why this particular contract didn't make it to the release.
