I agree. I tend to start new saves when new versions come out, despite the fact that my old saves are still good.

Historically, very few updates have actually been save breaking. 0.14 was the first to have saves, and save files from .14 through .17 were pretty much identical. 0.18 completely reworked the way fuel is stored on vessels, among other things, so it broke a lot of things. 0.19 and .20 had no compatibility issues. 0.21 changed the way crew was stored. It had a built in converter though, and most pre .21 saves can be successfully converted to the new format. 0.22 added science sections for career mode saves, but the format is identical for sandbox saves. In fact, it's possible to use saves from .18 in .22, the biggest problem is the terrain changes. Anything landed on Kerbin or the Mun runs the risk of being underground or similar problems. Also, anything landed near KSC has a chance of intersecting one of the new buildings. I'm guessing that saves will probably be compatible with 0.23.

American members of the Kerbal Space Program forum tend to have a slightly different outlook on Mexico than average Americans. After all, Squad is a Mexican company.

In the great Forum Purge of April 2013, all forum data between October 2012 and the time of the incident was lost. Permanently. Posts, accounts, everything. I was one of the victims. I can tell from your join date that you joined after this happened. You're lucky. For the rest of us it is an event we will never forget.

No, whenever your within 2.5km of any vessel (lander, base, rover, space station, etc.), landed or otherwise, the game actively processes physics for that vessel. Any vessel within 2.5km is loaded and fully subject to the laws of physics.

You could always try deliberately misspelling it, "natsie" or something like that. Better to not mention it though. People have been banned for incidents involving "not zee's". The expression we're reffering to is pretty safe, but the word itself is not.

Sounds good, I like it, consider me your first fan. Oh, and have a rep point while your at it. Also. are Humanity Humans from Earth, or an alien from another place that resembles Humans?

I am definitely considering it... I may need to try a different angle (maybe we should ask the PR department, or something like that?)

No reply received. I believe that we can safely say that they probably aren't going to reply by now.

I would say that if it had an oxygen-nitrogen based atmosphere with no excessively toxic trace elements present, not only could it sustain life as we know it, but humans from Earth could (given time) adapt to live there. What we know about long term spaceflight suggests that exposure to higher gravity would cause the reverse effect, muscles and bones getting stronger to cope, and the circulatory system getting stronger as well. As for having a large moon/twin planet also capable of supporting life, that could work as well. A large planet like that would most likely carry a much stronger magnetic field, possibly allowing the twin planet to carry an atmosphere without being as large as it would otherwise need to be to carry an atmosphere. Remember that without our magnetosphere, Earth would have an atmosphere similar to Mars. Make the twin fairly close to it's big brother, and/or give it a magnetosphere of it's own, and I would say that atmosphere, oceans, and life would all be plausible. Now, the next issue would be the tides. You have a few basic options: 1. Give them a tidally locked orbit to where they always have the same side facing one another (like Duna and Ike). In this scenario, the two planets would bulge slightly towards one another (not enough to cause major problems), and gravity on the side facing the other would be weaker. Rockets taking off from one planet could take advantage of this to get more efficient launches, potentially making space more accessible to the people on the big brother planet. The oceans would always be bulging in the same places, meaning there would be no tides (the oceans would always stay at more or less the same level everywhere). 2. No tidal locking would mean that both planets would have extremely high tides. This would make life difficult near the shores, however still possible. 3. One or the other could only show one face to the other. Then one of the planets would have conditions like #1 above, and the one would have conditions described in #2. As for the naysayers that say that planets could never form like that, firstly, whenever fiction is written, the author becomes the god of their own mini universe, the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent being who created this universe and is in control of all events within it. The physical laws of this universe are solely up to the author. All resemblance to reality exists because the god of that universe wants it there. In the end, these planets were never "formed", and the life here never "evolved", they were all created, by you, the god of this universe. Maybe your characters are atheists, maybe not, in either case let them work out some way of explaining how their universe got there. How they think they got there is really the more important thing anyway, because the truth is that you put them there.

If I remember correctly, only the most epic of the epic ninja-mods are able to change the details of polls. All of the polls I've ever created it was impossible to change anything about the poll or delete it, unless you found a super-mutant-ninja-cyber-mod (SMNCM). How they do it, I have no clue. Even then, I've never seen a poll edited, only deleted, and that was by one of the aforementioned SMNCM's.

Wow, that was interesting (and confusing, translation, maybe?). Anyway, since I'm slightly stunned right now, here's some harp twins.

banned because I say so.

It makes a lot of sense, actually. And furthermore, it would be possible to implement this (I think) with a plugin. Currently, we have a plugin called KerbTown, which adds buildings as static structures. But, it is only designed to make static structures that were created as static structures. What I think would be genius would be a plugin that could take your ship and weld it all together (like part welder), and then place it as a static structure. (could cause glitches if anything is nearby, since it would disappear as vehicle and reappear as a structure, but I think it could work)

This video is relevant. (and hilarious)

I agree that it's the looks of the bus that count. After all, if you take a bus and remove the engine, transmission, axles, wheels, tires, and seats, the word you are going to use to name it is still going to be "bus". Modifications will definitely be necessary, I mean the first modification we proposed was to strap a several ton, 56 million dollar rocket onto the back of it. And for another analogy, if our goal was to cross the English Channel in a bus, we would start by adding things boats need, like floats and a motor. Likewise, if we're going to send a bus to space, it makes logical sense to add propulsion and guidance systems
