[[WIP] Universal Fleet Solutions - A Modular FTL Spaceship Project]

Wow. The modular hull portions alone are top-tier. I look forward to this with much anticipation.

[Forgotten Space Program]

Meanwhile, here's me, sticking to 1.3.1 and 1.4.2. Nice to see this back in action! And am I correct in assuming you're using the Random Part Failures mod? Or did this one decide to just blow itself up regardless? :V

[[Old] CONCORD: Beyond the Horizon]

What's this? Another Concord story? Count me interested!

[Kerbfleet: A Jool Odyssey-CHAPTER 21 pg 18--He's a docking wizard! (there had to be a twist?)]

Hah. That pun didn't even occur to me until the second time I read it. Then again, I do say "Vaul" (as opposed to "Val(entina)" when talking about the iceball. I feel derp.

No, Mystery Goo, you are the Kerbals.

0] Ensure RCS pack is disabled. 1] If disabled, re-enable, fly about a few seconds, then land and disable. Try Dramatic Walk again. 2] If still unsuccessful, the Space Kraken looms. Return to KSC and re-load from there. 3] If problem persists, consult local priest/minister/rabbi/shaman/other. See about exorcism of Space Krakens.

[Forgotten Space Program]

Yaaaay! Happy landings indeed.

[Kerbfleet: A Jool Odyssey-CHAPTER 21 pg 18--He's a docking wizard! (there had to be a twist?)]

Right onna nose! Nice landing.

 

And Navy aviators think they have it hard.

[Kerbfleet: A Jool Odyssey-CHAPTER 21 pg 18--He's a docking wizard! (there had to be a twist?)]

Good trap. I guess it's kinda hard to catch the #3 wire, but hey.

 

Happy (upcoming) landings!

[Kerbfleet: A Jool Odyssey-CHAPTER 21 pg 18--He's a docking wizard! (there had to be a twist?)]

Yaaaay! \o/

Most (I think all?) cockpits with an IVA have a radar altimeter available, but there's not one on the default HUD. And you can't exactly go IVA on a probe.

Rocketeer -> Corporal -> Rocketry Corporal -> Sergeant -> Rocketry Sergeant -> Warrant Officer -> Chief Warrant Officer -> Master Warrant Officer, maybe?

I'd translate to Kerbfleet spelling, but those make my brain hurt at the best of times. :P

 

 

 

[Long-term Laythe Mission (pic heavy) - ^_^ With Part 45 ^_^]

I feel like the Laythe Base crew are having a (series of) moment(s) of "What have I done, what have I done, what have I done to deserve this."

 

 

 

 

[Forgotten Space Program]

It says something about this space program that they're going to need intelligence analysts for some of the stuff they find.

[Kerbfleet: A Jool Odyssey-CHAPTER 21 pg 18--He's a docking wizard! (there had to be a twist?)]

Fun times ahead.

Fabien & Damien vs. Stelrine?

 

Spoiler

 

[Kerbfleet: A Jool Odyssey-CHAPTER 21 pg 18--He's a docking wizard! (there had to be a twist?)]

Kerbulus spotted!

Now comes the challenge of convincing the crew it's actually a Mirror, Mirror, not just an unspotted planet.
Happy (if concerned) spacelanes!

 

 

 

[Kerbfleet: A Jool Odyssey-CHAPTER 21 pg 18--He's a docking wizard! (there had to be a twist?)]

Credit where credit is due; as April Fools' jokes go, that one was actually entirely unexpected.

Also; shoulda had the faux-sóuffle.

Well... other than the fact I may have dengue fever, can't really complain.

Yowch.

 

Get well soon!

My accent flops between Canadian, Scots, English, Irish, and Aussie at random, so I feel the Accent Pain

Regardless, excellent start to the new chapter! I'll put down 10 funds that Jeb isn't dead and a further 15 funds that he's time-travelled.

I'd quote @SpaceplaneAddict here, but my tablet browser is pitching a fit.

As to armament; if you have engines, you're armed with a giant blowtorch. If you have probes, you have guided missiles. If you have remote-piloted auxiliary craft, you have torpedoes. And when all else fails, pointing the bow at something and shouting "ramming speed" tends to work out nicely.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Kerbfleet: A Jool Odyssey-CHAPTER 21 pg 18--He's a docking wizard! (there had to be a twist?)]

Welp. Kerbulans and assassination (sorta) and a thickening plot, oh my.

At least Intrepid is armed. Though I imagine the crew will be unlikely to realize / be capable of utilizing this.

Uh. I just got the impression that Mortimer Kerman dies and nobody cares.

 

Morty is one of my favorite characters.

Maybe because of the greedy gag humor. Maybe because he was an accountant just like my dad used to be.

 

Rest in Speace Morty.

Being fair, he might have just been fired into a random alternate universe or somesuch.

That's weird since I've never seen such situations when we launch one without hitting ship edges

More testing indicates ship's speed is irrelevant; as soon as the torpedo hits the water (regardless of drop time delay) it goes bang.

 

Might try air-drops next, but... I'unno. Maybe a conflict with another mod.

 

EDIT: If fired subsurface, torp will either launch, float to normal depth, and cruise away at a blistering 7m/s or so. Or it might pop up to the surface and explode anyways.

 

Wierd.

[[WIP][1.6.x_TEMPORARY FIX] NAS - Naval Artillery System 0.7.0 (BDAc Addon, WW2 Naval Weapons) - "Land of Dragon" - 2018/4/28]

Speaking of torpedoes, I keep having issues with the long-lance torps detonating on contact with the water.

 

Not sure where the issue is (using a normal 610mm launcher with the appropriate torpedoes) but having my ship cut in half whenever I try to launch is... problematic.

 

Anyone else getting this?
