  1. It's a memory bug with the game. Already fixed in the 0.17.1 update.
  2. Still doesn't tell me how to set it up in Unity. I read that blog.
  3. The guy who made ORDA (the docking mod) didn't even post here until he released the mod.
  4. Why are there two 0.18 discussion threads? Why is there even an 0.18 discussion thread. .17.1 hasn't even come out, and we don't know what will be in 0.18. Please let the devs announce it and then make the thread in the development section.
  5. Look what dropped out of warp:
  6. This is the third 0.18 discussion thread. We honestly do not need one of these until they actually announce their plans for 0.18.
  7. This is a little story I wrote based on my first Mun landing in 0.17. Please give constructive criticism. Jebediah Kerman was the right stuff. He had guts, pride and years of training. Strenuous tests had led up to this moment, a lonely Kerbonaut, eyes glued to his window, the cratered Munar surface beneath him. A quarter of an orbit more and he would begin the de-orbit burn. The Kerbal Space Center had made it very clear that failure was not an option, and ensured that by picking a flat crater. Interesting geology would be saved for later missions, he was told. His thoughts were interrupted by the chatter of the Kerbal Space Center. The voice of CAPCOM came on. "Uh... Jeb, we're going to need you to begin the de-orbit burn." Jebidiah acknowledged this and eased the throttle to full. He read his velocity; 600...500...400...350. He cut the throttle. He undershot the landing site purposefully, it gave him extra margin for error. The voice came on the speaker again. "Okay Jeb we're tracking ya... we need you to engage your reaction control system." He flipped the switch, the ship responded with a large bang. Jebediah stared out of his window. He saw debris. He saw his precious RCS fuel spray out. He cursed. Something really, really, bad had happened. Jebidiah checked his course; the craft was headed for a small, rocky canyon. The voice came through the speaker; "Jeb... we need you to abort..." Jebediah looked at his fuel levels. He wasn't going home either way. "Jebediah, abort the mi-..." Jeb shut off his communications. He flicked on the radar altimeter, read his velocity, and gripped the throttle. Ten thousand meters up. He eased the throttle. 500...400...350...200...145. He was down to 100 meters per second, a manageable speed. He watched his altitude drop; 1000...850...400. He slowly oriented the ship with the retrograde marker. He wished he had more than the pod's RCS to use. His speed had dropped considerably. He cut the throttle. The ship drifted down to the surface. The landing legs depressed themselves into the Munar surface. He had landed. Jebediah stared out at the gray dunes around him. In front of him was a large gash in the surface; possibly from a meteor impact? He looked up and saw the bright stars around him. Behind him was his craft, which was his home until the next flight. The Kerbal Space Center had celebrated his landing, despite his disobedience. They had decided Jebidiah's landing spot would be perfect to begin the first Munar outpost, studying the exposed rock near the landing site. Jebidiah looked out to the east. He saw Kerbin. He covered the blue world up with his thumb. He didn't feel like a giant. He felt very, very small.
  8. Yes. It is a height map of Mars. Now, OP, tell me your methods.
  9. Putting a rocket engine on a rover is not a good idea. I think you confused your terms there. Curiosity is nuclear powered though, and the Voyager and Cassini also use nuclear reactors.
  10. God forbid he post spoilers for easter eggs in the Easter Egg thread right? How are you even going to use those without Mapsat, which will give you coords anyways? If you can't take spoilers don't post in this thread.
  11. The only easter eggs I have seen is Carl Sagan's face on Tylo and the Mun arches because they're friggin' huge.
  12. Yes. Using MapSat isn't cheating. *rolls eyes*
  13. It's Space Engine This is where "Duna" really is:
  14. Woah guys he wrote a plugin! That is so bad! We should all hate on him for making an inventive way to find it! LEAGAL 2K IS THE WORST! *facepalm* Calm down everyone. No one complained about using MapSat to find stuff, why is everyone crying like this is the worst thing ever? EDIT: How is it spoiled for everyone now? No one forced you to click the spoiler.
  15. They did another terrain update, have a picture of Duna:
  16. The 1.25 update is awesome! Good job HarvesteR!
  17. Tell me how. I want to make my own I'll give you a heightmap if you do.
  18. I know I have 0.8 installed somewhere. There was no map view, I never reached orbit, and the terrain was ugly. It was horrifying. I also have footage of my first Mun landing in 0.13 . I should upload it, you can see how bad a pilot I was.
  19. Also, sign me up for a flight to Duna. I think I'll set up a base near the icecaps or something like that.
  20. I currently have a probe in circular orbit around Duna. How shall I get to the boulder from here?
