  1. This is EXACTLY the answer I was hoping for when I asked nearly the same question a week ago. Funny how you give this answer now and last week you said I had to use ModularFuelTanks.
  2. And the inability to read and the failure to understand the word 'not' won't get you anywhere.
  3. I DID NOT HAVE TWEAKSCALE !!! Not installed separately, not combined with another mod. I did NOT have it. PERIOD!
  4. How can I be sure? It happened to me BEFORE I had TweakScale installed.
  5. This has been posted before: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/91077-need-help!-screen-keeps-zooming-right-out-when-i-press-v-to-change-view I am 100% sure it is NOT tweakscale. I've had this exact same behaviour too weeks before I even knew TweakScale existed, let alone have TweakScale installed.
  6. And don't forget disturbing a methane hydrate layer can actually cause a spontaneous, cascading release of methane. You do NOT want your drilling rig sitting in a big cloud of flammable gas. Remember Piper Alpha? OK, Piper Alpha drilled for oil be the resulting fireball would be similar.
  7. A GREEN LIE! Oil, natural gas, methane hydrates. It don't matter which you burn. They are ALL fossil fuels! If you really want to make a positive impact you should switch to nuclear power and reduce carbon emissions. Yes, nuclear waste is dangerous and we have no permanent solution for it yet. But after solar, hydro and wind it IS the cleanest source of energy. Edit: I forgot geothermal energy. Geothermal is of course also 'cleaner' than nuclear.
  8. Too lazy to do the legwork I see. Found it in less than two minutes: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/86010-KSP-Community-CubeSat Edit: Looks like two minutes wasn't even fast enough. Got ninja'd.
  9. How do you land on Mun? Practice, practice, practice! No, seriously. It can be hard at first but it will get easier over time. If only a tiny amount of thrust sends you back up your TWR (thrust weight ratio) is too high. Your engine(s) are too strong. An obvious solution is to use a less powerful (and usually more efficient) engine. Another is to right click your engine and limit the max thrust to for example 25%. Now the full length of the throttle slider goes from 0 to 25% power instead of 0 to 100. Making the slider 4 times more accurate. For max power simply right click the engine again and set max thrust back to 100.
  10. Yes, like me. I joined November 12 IIRC. And re-joined April 13.
  11. Damocles 100% stock 100% useless 100% pain in the rear to launch
  12. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/94774-What-s-the-secret-feature
  13. The big April Krash was a nasty forum software failure. Several things went wrong and it went from bad to worse. Only option was to roll the forum back several months to a back-up that wasn't corrupted. Hundreds of accounts and thousands of post were lost in the process.
  14. In the mean time you could use [thread=80234]TweakScale[/thread]. With this mod the regular Xe tanks can be resized all the way up to 5m, resulting in more dV you know what to do with.
  15. That's the one. Found it on Curse: http://www.curse.com/ksp-mods/kerbal/224287-kronal-vessel-viewer-kvv-exploded-ship-view
  16. Don't know the name but I do know it is a mod.\ I'd suggest asking one of the people who posted one for the name.
  17. I added the Clamp-o-tron jr. to the list of KAS attachable parts. Works like a dream! Only downside is using your jets during EVA. The mass of the clamp-o-tron totally unbalances the thrust.
  18. If at first you don't succeed... 22. Destroy all evidence you've ever tried.
  19. Thanks for the suggestions. I gave MFT and it worked ... briefly. When building new craft I could select a variety of tank set-ups but as soon as I tried to apply it to an existing craft my right mouse button froze. Forcing me to quit KSP and re-start. It happened several times in both the VAB as the SPH and as soon as I removed MFT the problem didn't return. MFT will not return to my game any time soon.
  20. I simply use the space provided by my ISP. It's part of the package.
  21. Productivity is based on the stupidity of all Kerbals in places that are set to be a workshop. Obviously the EPL workshop serves as workshop but so do the stock Lab and Hitchiker modules. Even command pods and cockpits contribute to the overall production al be it to a lesser degree. For optimum efficiency place your Kerbals with the lowest stupidity in the workshop, lab and hitchhiker and keep the idiots locked up in cockpit. Or even better; leave them at KSC. Personally I have stupid Kerbals serve as miners on the Minmus surface and the bright ones in the orbital shipyard.
  22. I love the way the new B9 allows you to cycle through various tank set-ups. And this made me wonder: how hard/easy would it be to add resources to the cycle? Would be great if I can make B9 a bit more compatible with Karbonite and Extra Planetary Launchpads.
  23. Besides the electric propellers in Firespitter and the somewhat cheaty infiniglider you'll have at least two other mod options: Kethane and Karbonite. Both have thrusters that burn the stuff directly. Kethane can only be mined in certain locations so exploring requires careful planning to refuel. Karbonite can be mined everywhere.
  24. And what then? As soon as 0.25 hits the shelves people will indeed be cured of update fever. But only for a short while. Within one or two weeks people will start "What do you want for 0.26?" threads. (And probably even 0.27) They have done it for at least a year and a half and will do it for the foreseeable future. All this hype crap is completely unnecessary, serves absolutely no purpose except for creating false hopes and can only lead to disappointment. As much as Gregrox is the driving force about the current hype train, his signature displays the results. The SPORE hype train was HUGE. Only to be overshadowed by the utter failure that followed. People, please. Don't fool yourself with idle hope. The higher your expectations the bigger the disappointment. Updates come when they come and only contain what SQUAD wants. Not what YOU want. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the game.
