    I really haven't had any issues with the landing gear. Built a few planes with them, landed fine. A little bouncy, perhaps, but not particularly weak.

    Yeah, it's a bit of pain in stock - the only real form of balance for it is the suuuuper long deadlines on contacts (in 5 years, you're pretty much guaranteed to have a Duna window at some point, right?). Mod-wise, I've enjoyed playing with Kerbal Construction Time, if only because it helps fill those waiting times. But even so, it's still an awkward fix - you still get the occasional Eve contract that clogs up Mission Control for a year or two.

    The further you away from the body you're orbiting, the cheaper inclination changes are. Recently, I had a rescue contract, which was of course retrograde (not that I noticed until after launch ), and by raising my apoapis to Mun-height and doing the change there, I was able to do a 180 degree change for about 12-1300 dV. Which was a lot better than the 4000ish dV it takes to do it in LKO.

    This is already a thing in 1.2. I think there's an option to "Enable Kerbal G-Tolerances" or something, in the advanced section of the difficulty settings. Not sure if it kills them yet, but it definitely makes them pass out.

    So how many major moons don't have sub-surface oceans at this point?

    If you hit the 'V' key on your keyboard, you can cycle through the different camera modes. For docking, I would recommend using the "Locked" mode, which if you rotate the camera to behind your craft, ensures that left/right and up/down behave as you'd expect. As mentioned above, it's also worth right-clicking on the docking port you are docking with, and selecting "control from here". This tells the game which way the 'front' of the ship is - it's not always necessary, but it helps a lot if the docking ports are at weird angles.

    It's mentioned in the design sheet that there probably would have been just one part for each engine, like we have now, with a toggle in the right-click menu or something to switch between variants. It apparently never got that far in implementation, though.

    That's an... interesting choice of words. I mean, I knew there'd been a lot conspiracy theories surrounding all this, but I didn't think they'd taken that direction.

    Psssh. Those developer types don't know what they're talking about. It can't be that hard to add axial tilt and Lagrange points.

    Did someone say UHC?

    http://www.popularmechanics.com/space/satellites/a22936/tiangong-falling-to-earth/ Not sure if this has been posted before, but apparently it's been suggested that China doesn't actually have full control of Tiangong-1.

    It's just a concept for now, but the 1.25m engines (+some tanks and the Mk1 Pod) have been released as a mod (subject to change, of course). Link is at the bottom of the OP of this thread.

    Here if you haven't already found it, near the bottom of the OP.

    These parts are released now on this thread if anyone was wondering. Configs are interesting. LV-T15 has about 100-ish thrust (you were right @Frozen_Heart!) and 240 ISP at sea level, LV-303 has 25-ish thrust and 320 ISP in vacuum. What's more interesting though is the "Upgrades.cfg" file... possible new feature?
  16. GluttonyReaper
    Wait, what? That's not allowed!

    Started playing Dwarf Fortress lately. It's an ... interesting game.

    Single Stage to Air?

    Adjustable Landing Gear was always surprisingly satisfying to use, but it's not looking like it's getting updated any time soon with wheel changes and such.

    They're definitely not KSP related, and they're not even really drawings, but here we go: http://imgur.com/a/Gv5x5

    Mine is ... well, it's complicated.

    It's slightly less of a problem nowadays because of the whole 50% thing, but adjusting throttle before launch is something I frequently forget. Hit spacebar, launch clamps release ... and watch as the rocket falls and flops over onto the ground. *revert to launch* Of course, it's a lot worse when solid rockets are involved. Rocket sledges are fun, but it'd be nice to actually use them on the runway.

    What kind of format are you looking for here? 24/7 server, where everyone works as and when they can? Designated playing times, where everyone is online at once? Either way, I'm interested in seeing where this goes, although I won't be any help setting up a server I'm afraid.
