  1. i always go with acronyms. for example, my first career mode ship is the LCLKORV (Low Cost, Low Kerbin Orbit Research Vessel)
  2. i care about time. thus, i have yet to get a duma transfer window, as i also restart saves with updates.
  3. whenever i return to kerbin from the min or minnumus, if i know that my craft can land on parches alone, i just spend the rest of my fuel accelerating straight down. ufortuantly, the meters tops out at 15 gs within seconds of entering he atmosphere. i can only assume how many gees my kernels really experience. (although at those speeds, the entire reentry sequence is about 15 seconds long)
  4. exempt that astroid os those sizes have negligible amount of gravity. as in, photon pressure is more powerful at the surface of the astriod then its gravity is. for astriod that small, is simply structural linkage(?) that holds it together.
  5. yes it did. the kraken was in the game since the sun was added. (just not many people had a inceptive to go in to kerbol orbit until the planets were added.)
  6. think it is because they released a screenshot of the interior when they were working on it. it may also be in one of the other capsules.
  7. danny already discovered it. crismas special
  8. i listen to the portal soundtrack.
  9. this is why i like space. (i have a wired thing for large scales.)
  10. same here. now I'm focusing on getting good at the next most challenging game: Dota 2. unfortunately, the community is nowhere near as helpful there, but at leas the report system weed out MOST or the trolls by their 100th game. (i think i have ~75 games played.)
  11. thanks man! at first in you post i thought it was going to be negative about how we are ******ed or something like that, but thanks for the nice reply. as for how hard it is, it can be pretty overwhelming sometimes, (as in, i went scuicidal) but you just have go live through it. then there are moments where thats totally and utterly rewarded. (i love nitpicking errors in my textbook awnser keys and teachers lectures
  12. thank you so much for posting this. i feel much the same way, and every time i see an ad from something like autism speaks, i cringe. we are not deceased, we are simple a diffret type of people. also, for everyone else, i had no idea how many there were. i though there might be a few, but comrade jenkins! you became my new danny 244 a while ago. (with the kraken drive 1.) just wow. thanks everyone!
  13. planetary annihilation, and banished when it comes out for mac/linux.
  14. i mostly agree with you there, i have had some good teachers though, most of the teach elective. however, most of them are just like you said.
  15. so just ADD? and nuke, i have seen that most of the diagnoses do exist, i have read several phycology books, but i prefer to think of these thing, including autism, as not a decease (anyone or any organization that says so, including autism speaks, have not met a real, average case of it.) but rather, as simple a different way of thinking. the next step up from culture.
  16. this is very encouraging for me to read, as when i first meet someone, often their first reaction on finding out I'm 'autistic' is one of slight disgust. that is, until there in the same case as me and get to know me a bit. (not the best at first impressions.) as a reply to nuke, aspie does not simply mean your generally smarter, it often means you are smarter in one particular subject. also social skills often become an issue, where as ADD (or at leas the ones i know, including my sister.) are often much more socially outgoing. my attitude is that i like to talk in one on one or maybe even groups of three, much more than that and i quickly get overwhelmed. also, i have been fortunate enough that my her girlfriend (would be, exempt we both have a fear of saying good bye, and she's going to college this year;)) is also an aspie. (met in robotics, one of the best activities out there, IMHO) as to the first two posters i would have to mostly agree with maverick. people usually thing there is something wrong with or I'm just being rude. (WHY does eye contact such a big deal!) but other than eye contact any my occasional bluntness, I've learned to act pretty normal. (oh, and don't forget the fidgeting.) what would you say would be the biggest giveaway for you guys if another aspie or someone else who knew the symptoms really well were to meet you? deadpangod: although i can't really say I've been in your shoes, i have been in situations like that. thankfully though, my parents learned the hard way that when it comes to my activities, they need to let me have the final say in it. (speech therapy went down the drain after the first week.) I'm not sure if your in that situation any more, but if you are, depending at what country you are in, you are probably at the age where you have a say in it and you can get yourself into public school. again, before you start believing your mom, or anyone else of a similar opinion, look at my sig, written by perhaps the best known aspie on the planet.
  17. its the principle of the thing! THEY DEFACED AMERICA!!! (a slight mocking of patriotism.)
  18. I'm pretty shire this is within the realms of the forum rules, i read them again just to make sure. anyway, I'm a 16 year old aspie that was officially diagnosed (at a mental hospital, worst experience ever.) about a year ago. however, it was pretty much certain when i was 11 and suspected since i was 5. i lived most of my life win chad africa so i didn't quite have the social struggles i would have otherwise. (there were other struggles too though, such as all out civil war.) anyway, i just wanted to see what the opinions of other people are when it comes to others that are... slightly different than the norm. if i have read the community right, I'm hoping that i will at least not get any hate. i would also like to find out if there are any other ASD people out there in the community. so, just give me your opinions guys, ignore my rant format, and don't hate on people. (and mods, if this type of thread is not ok, take it down, its fine with me. although infractions would hurt.) i would also like to thank the ksp team for making the game that kept me sane during algebra 2!
  19. shouldn't this be in the science labs?
  20. often enough on car rides, although the platform is only really very useful for simple time wasters and board game emulators.
  21. that pizza hut rocket proves that while truth is not really stranger than fiction, it comes pretty close! edit: but if they did this, would they make up for the savings in ad revenue?
  22. just a 2 second request. a keybinding to snap the throttle put to full.
  23. what about a thermo-electric generator? (like the type on RTGs) also, on your nerva question,its going through the exact same process as chemical rockets, but instead of relying on a chemical reaction in the propellant, it used a nuclear reaction outside of the propellant. the result is still the same: a mass of rapidly expanding gas, which is vented out of a nozzle that directs the gas all in one direction.
