Ambulatory Cortex

For a thruster, how about a dusty-plasma fission-fragment rocket? Per ProjectRHO, it has 15 million ISP, 344N thrust, and weighs 9 tonnes. It'd use a brachistochrone instead of hohmann trajectory. When talking multi-year journeys, it's pretty hard to beat.

The MPDT thruster from Near Future Technologies appears to be borked. Gave it a liquid hydrogen tank full of fuel, and it still thinks it had no fuel. RO installed with CKAN. https://www.dropbox.com/s/g752ottxsaz3sdw/MDPT%20failure.png?dl=0

I can definitely see how this would be difficult to maintain. The difficulty of getting everything installed and configured is why I use it in the first place!

So they actually built one that works? How did I not know this? *mumbles something about being out of the loop*

What if KSP 2 ran on Unreal 4?

You've somehow completely missed the point. If a spaceflight organization wanted a NTR, they could get one. They'd just need to build it or have someone else do so. But you can't build a fusion rocket, because they haven't been invented yet.

You could perhaps use a solid neutron poison that melts at a dangerous temperature and mixes with the fuel as a failsafe. Alternately, have more than one engine, and eject the malfunctioning one.

Great! So where can I buy a fusion engine?

Or you could increase the partial pressure of oxygen to compensate for the lower total pressure. This is an artificial environment, after all.

Do the telescoping pistons not work for what you want?

Here I was, all set to scold you for not using search, ready to screenshot the search page. So I searched. And it wasn't on the first page. Or the next page. Or the one after that... It was on the 6th page. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/28428-Orion-aka-Ol-Boom-boom?highlight=orion Enjoy.

You can scan at a higher timewarp.

Since I use FAR and DRE, I use robotics pretty much any time I need to fit things into a fairing. Rovers, satellites, station modules. Lots of things need unfoldy bits.

When you do the gantry rails, I'd like to have an extremely long version, for use on stations. Then we could mount robotic arms to them and such.

Looking forward to using these. I assume the round tanks with no cage will have absolutely minimal structural mass?

Does reverse control make puller-configuration engines gimbal properly?

What do you mean by this?

Na, the spaceport download was updated this month. This thing is still being maintained.

This thing doesn't even include a plugin, so it'd have to be a mechjeb bug, would it not?

I dunno, is a 20 tonne horsefly more dangerous than an evil unicorn? Because they both have about as much basis in reality.

I have discarded the VSK-4000 in favor of the Antec Sonata Proto. It appears to offer everything I want. Front door which covers power button(lockable), front usb and audio, and no top vent. Side panel is also lockable, but that doesn't matter much to me.

It looks like the Antec Sonata Proto might be the case I should get. Am I likely to have any issues fitting everything into it?

How does the Antec VSK-4000 look for a case? I'm trying to figure out if it can slot two 120mm fans in the front, as well. Edit: One of the reviews says it has room for two 120mm fans in front.

I understand. The K version is an overclockable stripped-down version of the standard. I probably don't need VT-d It hasn't happened before. Perhaps I'm just paranoid. Since I'm probably just paranoid, should I have any qualms about getting this case? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146139 Normally I don't like refurb stuff, but the moving parts of a case are pretty cheap if something fails. Aaand out of stock. Guess I should have snapped that up when I saw it.

I do minor hobby dev work occasionally. Most games I play have poor multithread performance. This is why I chose a Haswell processor instead of an Ivy. While the Ivy had better multithreaded performance for the same price, the Haswell i5 had better single thread performance. It's sounding like I should go with the K though, as I'm not likely to use the stripped features of the standard 4670. I'm still looking for a case. I need one with a front door, because I have small children who like to push buttons, and no top vent, because the spectre of children spilling things into my case terrifies me.
