Galileo Kerbonaut

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Back to the drawing board

Cool song! I like this kind of music!

I like to draw your attention to one single beautiful composition with accidental very applicable Kerbal lyrics (Originally from the movie "The Snowman, 1982") . From a musicians standpoint (I play classical piano and guitar), this is one of the best arrangements in music I've heard yet. Just marvelous! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDzMnPvyUis If any of you play the guitar and are interested, I am happy to share how to do it. Here is the basic in TABS.

You just happened to post your question while I was answering another thread at the very same time

Last time I posted an entire Ambient album in this thread which was not really a theme song. So I like to draw your attention to one single beautiful composition with accidental very applicable Kerbal lyrics (Originally from the movie "The Snowman, 1982") . From a musicians standpoint (I play classical piano and guitar), this is one of the best arrangements in music I've heard yet.

Thanks for the update! I was really looking forward to this.

Congratulations! A small step for a Kerbal, a huge leap for Kerbalkind! Now you can try to peer further into the solar system... or pay a tribute to Neil.

My most favorite moon is Minmus. My most favorite planet is Jool; I love that green big giant.

KSP is awesome, mods are awesome. At the moment I use: Alternate resource panel Deadly Reentry Habitat pack Kethane SCANsat TAC life support (with alternate textures) Chatterer Novapunch KW rocketry Remote tech Service Compartment Tubes KAS Kerbal alarm clock KSPX Mechjeb TAC self destruct Tarsier telescope

Banned for referring to yourself in the third person.

Banned for not knowing satellites are unmanned.

Wait a minute... this is not a Kerbal lander. Where did this come from? An alien race!? And what's up with that flag!? Further investigations must follow

It's exactly the opposite! Did you understand anything from what I posted? Guess not... MODS, please close this thread... this is going nowhere.

I got attacked by the Kraken My probe was well on its way to Duna when all of a sudden half of the craft exploded... not funny. This is all there's left of it:

To be honest, I have no idea. I don't use MJ for docking. My guess is that one is enough, but don't take my word for it.

Nice to see how you totally neglect: New: * The Science Archives: - Browse through all the science you've done in your Career games in this new section of the R&D Facility. * Science Revisited: - Transmitting scientific data no longer allows you to max out the value of a subject just by repeating the transmission multiple time. - Removing the experiment data from some experiment modules (for transmission or by EVA) will render them inoperable. - Resetting an experiment can still be done freely as long as the data is not removed from the module. * Solar System: - Added a new Biome Map for Minmus. - Cleaned up the Biome Maps for Kerbin and the Mun, to remove areas where Biomes would be detected incorrectly. * EVA Data Transport: - Kerbals on EVA can now collect the data from experiment modules and store them on crew-carrying modules. - Kerbals can also collect data from other data container modules, including other Kerbals. - EVAs can also store samples collected from other experiments on the Lab. * Part Tooltips Overhaul: - The tooltips that pop up when mousing over a part on the editors have been completely redesigned. - The tooltips show essential info only at first, but can be expanded to show more info with RMB. - Once expanded, you can right-click again to collapse, or to pin other tooltips if you hover over other parts. - Re-organized the part information to group stats for each module and resource container on a part. - Added a larger icon for the part on the tooltip itself, featuring a scale to give an idea of size before picking. * All-around Optimizations: - We've gone over all our code to make sure it runs as efficiently as possible. - Upgraded to Unity version 4.2.2 to make full use of its own bugfixes and tweaks. - Texture loading has been sped up, loading times are noticeably reduced. * [Windows-Only] 6-DOF Device Support: - 6-DOF input devices such as the Space Navigator are now supported both as camera and flight controllers. - Scroll Lock will toggle the device mode in flight. - Due to driver limitations this is a Windows-only feature for now. We're ready to implement support in OSX and Linux as soon as those drivers become available. Bug Fixes and Tweaks: * Parts: - The logic for all-vessel resource flow (such as Electric Charge and MonoPropellant) has been re-done. - Fixed those resource containers not being able to drain fully or store an amount larger than their current available space. * Docking: - Fixed an issue that caused docking ports to resume their states incorrectly after docking, making it impossible to undock afterwards. - Fixed a big issue with docking operations through physicsless parts in the hierarchy between the port and the original vessel root. * EVAs: - EVAs now use actual resources for their jetpack propellant, instead of their own fuel system. - Fixed an issue with collision resolution that caused EVAs to sometimes fall over and become uncontrollable. - Kerbals other than you will now pick themselves up from ragdoll state if they are involved in any 'accidents' or are flat out being used as Kerbowling pins. - Parts that land onto splashed-down parts are now considered to be landed. This allows EVAs to walk on floating platforms. * Other Fixes: - The Return key will no longer reset the staging sequence in the Editors, or return you to the Main Menu at KSC. - The Main Menu now remembers the 'page' you were at when you left it, so if you return from a loaded game, you'll find it still at the "Start Game" screen. - Fixed several issues with joystick axis mapping and indexing. - Updated the Input settings screen to expose a few new control options that weren't accessible before. - Fixed an issue that could lead to loss of GUI responsiveness after leaving flight during reentry or supersonic flight.

Uhm, doesn't KSP already do this? I'm not sure what you're after.

Here you go

I suggest three mods to spice up your gameplay: 1) Deadly reentry 2) TAC life support 3) Remote Tech Now you're playing a whole different game.

There is also a part called AR202, which is a small box that you can stick to the side of your craft. I never use the pod myself, way to big. If you didn't get this AR202 part, I suggest you check your MJ folder to see if it's there. If it's not, you obviously need to reinstall MJ. If you installed MJ and are playing in career mode, make sure you click the parts in the R&D screen. Otherwise they won't show up in the VAB. Hope this helps.

Just docked a 3 man pod to my station only to find out I blocked the door with a parachute. Yeah, that was pretty stupid

Playing darts in space of course, what else?

I totally agree with this. 0.23 is so much faster than any other version for me (playing since 0.19). Even my sound lag is gone for 90%... that has the biggest impact for me. I love it!

I vaguely remember someone (Scott Manley???) doing this on the island runway, but I'm not 100% sure. You might want to check there.

At this point all our ships are in one directory. Once you have built a lot of ships, this list becomes pretty hard to read. It would be great to have folder structures so it is easier to categorize our vessels. It would also be nice if the notes that we can write for our vessels in the VAB, could be read out in this list. I have a lot of different ships: e.g. StationCore Mk1 StationCore Mk2 StationCore Mk3 etc. All of them serve a different purpose, but after playing for a while I'm not sure what vessel does what. I use the notes in the VAB for this, but to actually read them I have to load my ship in the VAB. It would be a lot more convenient if those notes were displayed in the screen you get when you click on the launchpad and select your vessel instead of loading each separate craft in the VAB to see what it does.
