Proceeds to cackle maniacally

Dude, you think you're ready? Then say hello to the B-3B Skyfortress. This thing is a monster of a bomber that was capable of carrying 180 Mark 82 500lb bombs in it's 0.90 incarnation. I don't know how much it will be able to carry in the new version, but I do know this. Using the new ripple fire feature with the Mark 82's on this thing is gonna be so much fun!

I have a some requests for you. Functionality: Weapon Groups: I want to be able to put weapons together in a group so that they can be simultaneously selected through the Weapon Manager. Say I have a bomber with a whole bunch of machine guns all over the aircraft as defensive armament. Most of them are .50 cals, but some of them are 30mm and there is one 20mm Vulcan cannon. As it is now, going through the WM you can only select each type of weapon individually, but what I want to do is to select all of them, regardless of what kind of gun they are. This would be useful if I wanted them to activate through guard mode. Synchronization: I want to be able to set the way that multiple guns fire. Say that I have an aircraft with four 30mm Autocannons facing forward and fixed. As it is now, when you fire them they will always fire simultaneously. I want to set it so that instead of firing simultaneously, they fire in sequence so that their collective rate of fire is increased. This would be especially useful if we are using the radial-mount .50 cals or 30mm Aeros in Spanner's Boomsticks. Toggle Airburst: This is in regards to the upcoming airburst feature. I want to be able to turn it off so I can use the gun against ground targets, and then turn it back on again to engage air targets. Weapons: Weapons I would like to be added are: Bofors 40mm- Added as a radial-mount like the M102 is now, as a CV9040 turret, and as the Italian DARDO CIWS 5"/54 caliber Mark 45 gun A Radial-mount 20mm Vulcan Cannon A Ball Turret That's really it for now. Looking forward to the update!

I have updated the Union Dynamics catalog again. Added the A-2, B-3, OR-1, OR-2, M6E1, M6E2, M11E1, Mk.1 105mm M102, CS-1, FX-1, and KDS-1 Redesignated the MQ-1 and MQ-2 as the MRQ-1 and the RQ-2, respectively. Fixed an issue with the A-1's countermeasures not deploying properly. Added Burn Together to all vehicles. All vehicles now have BT Modules, with some exceptions. I will also state that, though the B-3 massively exceeds the part count limit, I submitted it anyways simply because I feel it is way too awesome not to submit it. You have no idea how proud I am of that aircraft.

If anyone has ever wondered what 90,000 pounds of bombs looks like. By the way...um...I kinda went a tad bit over the part count limit...how much is that gonna affect your decision to use it or not?

Updated Union Dynamics Catalog. Added the M10, M11, A-1, B-1, B-2, F-1, F-2, F-3, MQ-1, MQ-2, C-1, and the Mk.1 Torpedo "Dragoon" I also revamped the presentation and organized it a bit better. I would also like to ask you, HatBat to give us permission to use BigNose's cannon shell ammo box extension for BDArmory. Currently, there is no way to resupply vessels that use the Howitzer or the Abrams Turret. Allowing us to use them would give us that ability. And if balance is an issue, you can restrict it so that it can only be placed on vessels that do not have the Howitzer or the Abrams Turret, or have some other restriction on that vessel. I have several ideas that I would like to use for Logistics vehicles that I really like to use, such as a Resupply variant of my M6 Columbia. I also have a vessel that uses the 105 Howitzer and has the ammo box on it, but has the restriction in that it cannot move or turn without assistance. Please consider this, and thank you for your time. And Finally, this is less of a request but more of a demand. If at any point in the future you use my tanks and they are involved in a massive tank battle, this song MUST be played during it.

Why not make it configurable? In fact, that's something I would like to see a bit more of with this mod. I love the tracks, but some of them are the right scale, but too short for what I want to do, while others are the right length for what I want, but are way to big scale-wise. I want to be able to configure the length and width of the track, as well as the height. For the length, you could simply have a slider that you could use to adjust the number of road wheels as a means for adjusting length. Or you could do it the same way you adjust the length of the Missile Pylons in BDArmory. For the width and height, simple sliders would suffice. But yes, I think making the tracks tweakable would really be a vast improvement to this mod.

I would like to spoiler this so I can reduce the size of this post, but still keep the formatting. Bonus: Can anyone guess at the naming scheme that I've used for my armored vehicles?

Ok, if you say so. By the way, that name has too many letters in it. You should remove the "Ex" and just call it the "Taco". Much better name! Also, possible incoming doublepost!

Well, yes. But, there's only so much that ASAS can do and that Vulcan has a lot of recoil. Have you tested it in space yet? If you have and know for certain that it does work then that's fair and good, and the shame is on me.

I can give you one really good reason why that Vulcan is a bad idea: Recoil

Ok, so here's what's happening. I use a 4-approaching 5- year old laptop. It doesn't really do that well for gaming, but it's all I have. So, here I am, trying to get a screenshot of all of my tanks together by the Flagpole at the Astronaut Complex. Now, having more than 3 out at a time starts to slow things down a bit. Here, I'm trying to get nine in one place. Safe to say, it's raining crash reports on my end.

Okay, may I please make a few requests concerning the next version of BDArmory? Okay, first of all, concerning the M1A1 Turret. Could you make it so that we can put stuff ON the turret? It's big, it's flat, and it would look really cool with a Chain Gun sitting on top of it. And could we also have a Coaxial Gun on there as well? (In case you don't know what it is, a Coaxial Gun is a machine gun mounted alongside the main gun of a tank and moves along the same axis. It's the tube to the left of the main gun in this picture. I also want a both a radial-mount and turret-mounted 40mm Bofors Cannon if you could do that. Also, can we have some mortars? And a Rocket Artillery System? Please?

You should be fine. I just did a quick thread search and I saw no mention of the Chain Gun not being allowed. Which is good, because almost all of my vehicles have the Chain Gun on them, and your post scared me for a moment.

Adjustable Landing Gear just adds two B9-style landing gears that can be adjusted to your needs. It's an excellent mod, made by the same guy who made BDArmory, although it does require Firespitter in order to work. (I have no idea how that affects things, just to be clear). Also, are any of the BDArmory Extensions allowed? The one I am concerned with in particular is the one that adds the box for the 105mm cannon shells, but are we allowed to use any of the others? Like Boomstick's addon or something like that? And also, not trying to argue against what you are saying, but how would adding a part mod wind up forcing everyone to change their craft? Just curious as it would seem that removing a mod would be more likely to do that. P.S.- Also, I've kind of come to the design philosophy of: "If it can get off the ground before the runway ends, you don't have too many bombs on it." Plus the aircraft in question was a B-52 style bomber, so 96 bombs is kind of standard for an aircraft of that size. P.P.S.-I have also been working on a series of armored vehicles that I need some help testing. I'll probably post them on here sometime later once I get this last one finished.

Hey, for the ground support vehicles, can we use the Adjustable Landing Gears Mod? It makes designing and using larger aircraft so much easier. P.S.- Do you think having 96 Mk. 82 bombs on one aircraft is too much? I mean, that's 24 tons of bombs right there. Is that overdoing it? Edit: Apparently so, because loading the vessel onto the runway caused my game to crash. BUT THAT WILL NOT DETER ME!

It seems that a lot of us here are still unsatisfied by how the current science system works, but aren't doing a lot of talking to each other to try and figure out how we can fix it. Well, let's start talking...how can it be fixed?

If my understanding is correct, the reason that NASA does that is that the 100% mark was the estimated maximum amount of power that the SSME's could safely produce in flight when they were being designed. Once they were actually built and put in service, it was discovered that they could actually produce considerably more power than was anticipated, and that amount of power increased through upgrades and improvements. So, to reduce confusion, they locked the 100% mark where it was (1670 kN @ Sea Level/ 2,090 kN in Vacuum) and referred to any output above it as its appropriate percentage. And after a bit of looking and a trip to Duna, I find that the highest that any of the SSME's could go was 111%, which would only have been used in an emergency.

The amount of "ermagerd if yer wanner pleh it lahk that thein jurst dern't quickserve!" is just...*exasperated sigh* Look. I have no idea why there is so much hostility to these suggestions every time they are made. You can make that argument all you want, but there is one little thing that you don't understand, and that Dombi has already pointed out, that invalidates that argument. Saying that you are going to do something is one thing, but actually following through and doing it is a completely different monster. There WILL be moments where you will break your rule, because of a botched maneuver or screwing up the time acceleration, or whatever. I, myself, have tried on numerous occasions to follow a set of rules, but, in the end, I always break them. However, by making these rules hard-coded into the game, that temptation is totally removed. It becomes easier to actually play the game, because you don't have to fight the urge to break your rules. The game becomes fun again. Another thing that I would like to point out is that actually HAVING these difficulty settings would actually have some other benefits as well. It could encourage players who normally wouldn't have thought to try to play in a different way. Because, now that it is there, the idea is there. It opens up a possibility that they would have NEVER come across otherwise. If you want an example of this happening, just look at the introduction to Hardcore mode to Minecraft. So, TL;DR Adding this as a game mechanic has more benefits than you think it does. So, stop moaning about how people should just, "not use quicksave."

Try all aircraft that use the tricycle gear arrangement used in almost all large aircraft. However, if they have the older tail gear arrangement like the cessna, then it is the tail gear that turns. What I would really like to see is more landing gears. There would be a landing gear that can rotate, but has a lower impact tolerance, a small landing gear with a very high impact tolerance to help prevent tailstrikes and destroyed engines, and maybe some landing skids like on the original Wright Flyer. There's a lot of stuff that needs to be updated as far as aircraft parts go, probably more than they realize.

As usual, Jebediah seems to be the only one enjoying the ride...typical...

Ladies and gentlemen of Spiritwolf, on behalf of SkySound Aerospace, I, sadly, must announce that, until further notice, the BB-X project must be suspended. There are various reasons for this, all of which are beyond the scope of this press conference. However, we would also like to take this opportunity to discuss some of our other projects that we have in the works. First of all, in response to the development of military land vehicles, we have been developing a set of Fighter, Bomber, and Attack aircraft for atmospheric operations here on Kerbin. We have also begun developing Reconnaissance and Observation satellites for use around the Kerbol system to keep tabs on Handland activities. We are also planning on a refit for our Rontop Kerman-class destroyers. These will include improvements in armor, weapons, and communications to make each Destroyer more effective in the battlespace. And finally, we are very pleased to announce the commencement of the MODOP project. The Manned Orbital Defense and Observation Platform will serve as both an effective deterrent against any aggressive actions against Spiritwolf assets, and as a way to keep tabs on Handland and anyone who would call themselves their allies.

I'm sorry, but I believe that this must be said... Giggity.

Oh, I haven't even gotten that far yet. The problem is the immense amount of lag that I am experiencing trying to assemble it in the SPH, and it gets even worse when I try and take it out to do structural tests, I usually end up getting less than one frame per second. The reason for the lag is the huge amount of parts used in making it. My last attempt was in excess of 1300 parts, and lagged so bad that it would be impossible to make it go in any direction other than down.

Aaaaaaaaaaand it looks like I have to trim down the BB-X again. It is quickly dawning on me that my dream of making a full scale battleship using stock parts may be impossible.
