  1. It was meant more as a joke... is a joke considered fanart?
  2. Interesting concept. I don\'t think it would ever be implemented, though. Money has become so ingrained in our lives that any attempt to remove it would be met with extreme consequences. There\'s also the logistical issue of keeping track of well over 6 billion people, and making that system as secure as possible. Not to mention, payment in levels doesn\'t seem like a good way to do this... So, working hard gets you a level. That\'s nice, but is there a limit on how much stuff you can get? If I was a level 30, and I wanted to make the biggest computer display EVAR, I could theoretically go to the store and grab as many monitors I wanted -- unless there\'s a limit of some sort. How would you pay for these items, anyway? In levels? And fining people levels doesn\'t seem like a good way to punish someone for their misdeeds. I steal from a store? Alright, we\'ll dock you ten levels and send you on the way. That\'s no punishment, especially if you can get levels back just by doing hard work. People don\'t learn anything that way. It\'s a 'slap-on-the-wrist' punishment. I can *sort of* see the benefits, but I can\'t see them for the forest of negatives surrounding them. [Not trying to be rude!] EDIT: I\'m the first real discussion response.
  3. I\'m sorry, what? That\'s 39 1m fuel tanks. About a half-meter of clearance on either end, so that\'s 40 total. Yes, it\'s going to be huge. 8) The issue I haven\'t figured out yet is how I\'m going to measure the distance from the end of the ramp to the VAB.
  4. Right, I\'ve completed the pad portion of the Launch Pad: I would have it completely filled in, if I hadn\'t misplaced that last block The ramp will come next.
  5. I\'d say that you don\'t have to get into an orbit, but you need to travel a large distance across the surface, as if you were taking samples from a wide range of areas.
  6. I did recently swap out the orbit stage engine of my Mun rocket for five more powerful ones. Got some extra fuel efficiency out of it, and they\'re still gimballing engines on top of it.
  7. I use free Bandicam myself. Admittedly, I\'ve never bothered to record a video with it, except once. I ran into some issues playing back the video in Premiere Pro and stalled out at that point :/
  8. Welcome! More developers is almost always a good thing! [Can we assume that this means we\'ll get new content nearly twice as fast? ]

    Moon Rocks!

    Also; don\'t drop any! Powdered moon rocks are pure poison! I hear they make for a great portal conductor though.
  10. I should mention that I could easily overclock (The motherboard has this 'OC Genie,' a set of switches that determines what you\'re OCing to), but I prefer watching my temps go into double digits when idling 8)

  12. Candy Mountain, Charlie! [i just watched it for the first time. EVER.]
  13. This is my build procedure: 1: Build the top stage. 2: Test the top stage. 3: Does it work? If yes, continue. If no, fix it or get more practice. This continues until I finish it. At that point, I test it. Testing Procedure: 1: Do the mission. 2: When finished, remove unnecessary components. 3: Repeat.
  14. Game Time: A Long Time Real Time: Probably about two weeks? Depends on how I pace myself.
  15. You\'ll have some catching up to do -- I\'m building the KSC in Minecraft also ;P
  16. It depends on how long the pad takes me. Also; the launch tower is not 5m wide, it\'s more like 10... and it\'s 32m tall. The pad itself is about 8m tall, plus or minus .25ish meters.
  17. Right, I\'ve determined that the launch pad is 14 meters across... which is discouraging, as I prefer that my structures are always odd-numbered. Behold, the official Kerbal Measuring Stick: It\'s 15 one-meter fuel tanks, and we\'ve got the ones on the side hanging off by half... which makes it 14 meters across. An interesting side note: That circle isn\'t painted onto the pad, it floats in midair. You can see it on the very left of this next picture. @JupiterII: Only way to do it! @ping111: Good idea. It matches the color better.
  18. I\'m going to begin construction on a replica of the launch pad from KSC in Minecraft. Here\'s the to-do list: Meh. Too restrictive. This will be built in sections, so I have no idea about planning. Progress updates will be posted somewhat regularly! Latest Screenshot
  19. I\'m a Minecrafter too. I\'m just better than the rest of you yahoos because I have an observatory in my main save

    We're Back!

    Great to see you\'re back! Things got hairy for a bit, but it\'s been sorted out now.
