  1. This is awesome. As someone who regularly runs "Supply missions" to his stations and bases this is exactly the kind of thing I'd love to have. Instead of just dropping off a full fuel tank and calling it "Supplies" now my OCD can actually have my kerbals yanking out crates of supplies, gear, and experiments. When this is ready to go I'm downloading immediately.
  2. Core i7 @ 2.8ghz 8GB RAM Win 7 (64bit) GeForce GTX 460 w/ 1GB VRAM I run a lot of other mods and it can take some time to load but anything that makes use of these parts is a guaranteed CTD any time I switch from the VAB to the launch pad or space.
  3. I'm a manager. I enjoy building my spacecraft and watching them fly but my greatest joy is going into the tracking station and seeing dozens of ongoing missions. Comm satellites in orbit, mapping satellites doing their business, my Duna mission marching across the gulf, my moon bases doing high quality science while my moon stations whizz by overhead, the Kethan rig on the Mun, the automated resupply tug aerobraking back into Kerbin orbit after dropping off a resupply canister on Minmus. Knowing that they are all going about their business, doing their jobs, that each is taken care of, rescue plans in place, ships standing by in orbit or on the ground where needed. I enjoy building space ships but I want to run a space PROGRAM.
  4. I love the parts, I really, really do but after installing this mod I can't keep my game running. Any time I have to switch from the VAB to the launch pad or even at the moment of docking in orbit the game will CTD. I wanna use the parts, but I can' have the game crashing every time I have to tweak a design or dock with a station.
  5. Love the double NERVA model. Grabbing that for my next Duna mission.
  6. I had just gotten a mapping sat to Duna, my first interplanetary trip.
  7. It's going to be a great upper stage engine.
  8. I'll restart if the new version requires it but not unless. I'm just getting a good toehold in LKO and on the moons of Kerbin so I'm in no hurry to obliterate all that and start over.
  9. I love model rocketry and I've been getting my kids into it. I'm not wild about the new "kits" that give you a rocket already built.
  10. Testing on a new launch vehicle solely for getting my manned capsules into LKO is not going well. On the plus side my abort system is working FANTASTICALLY and has been well tested.
  11. Docks for you, automatically docks, I'm not really seeing the difference unless you don't want to include RCS on your ships at all.
  12. The Imperial Kerbin Spaceforce or IKS No relation to Klingons.
  13. I miss have a manned space program period.
  14. Two The Argus 2 Mapping Satellite in Mun orbit. The Perseus 10 taking off into the sun on it's way to meet up with the Achilles lander for a mun shot.
  15. The Persephone was made to be anywhere standard rover. The Persephone rover during testing at the KSC. On the surface of the Mun. Incidentally my first successful Mun landing, unmanned.
  16. I really like the avionics package on the tail. It reminds me a lot of the FB-111E. It's a very slick looking little plane overall.
  17. I use MJ to get the deorbit burn done at the right moment then just cowboy it in. I'd feel guilty doing it any other way. 5.7G is a hard, but it's way below where the Apollo capsules re-entered.
  18. In general I shoot for greek/roman names. Usually launchers get god names with the larger the launcher the more senior the god. The capsules get demi-god names. Right now my general purpose heavy lifter is the Hera 1d, last night it put the Perseus 9 capsule into orbit where I had my first successful docking with the Bacchus 1 fuel tanker. So right off the bat my naming convention is pretty much shot. Oh, my 1.25m launcher is the Juno and my 1 man capsule is the Heracles. So really, anything that seems cool/appropriate for the mission. My mapping sat is the Argus 1 and the Argus 2 is going for a Mun shot tonight.
  19. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/24639-0-19-1-54-Ordan-Industries-Telescope!-Last-Updated-Apr-18-2013! Do you know if this includes a camera part I can add to existing probes or does it require the entire craft? I'm working off mobile so I can't download and test it out. A Space Telescope would be fun but I'd also like to just have a camera part I could add to probes.
