Somebody wrote they deorbited station without anything exploding because of heat... from Minimus.

No, i never claimed such a thing. I claimed that for my SSTO planes an turbojet + aerospike combination works much better. However the people here in the forum showed me planes where Rapiers work better. I guess finally it depends on many factors what will work better. However i still wish for slightly more powerful Rapiers, they are unlocked very late in the career and they have the right to be more powerful then anything else. Actually, you did said they just that: Rapiers can't get you to space. You didn't mention anything about payload, just that you can't make orbit with them. Try to be more clear in your statements or you come across as whiny

Your original claim was that Rapier can't work for a SSTO. Made a Rapier SSTO without trying. Problem? And I guess it can move one Kerbal to orbit, so not totally useless I don't have any experience with cargo hauler SSTO, too time consuming for my taste.

I didn't play 1.0.2 much, but I had to try to see what the op is about. So I slapped really simple test SSTO with Rapier... and got it to 100km orbit on the first try, no fancy flying just full throttle to the orbit.

Once upon a time in a forum far far away there was a thread about this amazing new game. So I checked it out and game was great, even without the Mun. Later on I found out the op is Scott Manley, before he was cool.

:facepalm: I'm out of here before I get into trouble with mods...

The though of unintentional falling off got me to stitches

I'm going to reply to this thread in one year. Now, where is my calendar...

Wow, that was rather badly written review.

Oh, cool, didn't know that. Thanks for the tip! And for me it is less keys because you only use throttle and RCS, you have to mash key less that way then trying to kill horizontal speed.

And he will end up going everywhere once he cuts too much velocity and starts slightly going up. Been there, done that. For me the key is the RCS. Lock heading on the dot up and control only descent speed with throttle (vertical). For the for horizontal movement corrections (left/tight/forward/backward) use RCS. Also use bursts of RCS to fine tune descent.

New ones don't help either. I'll summarize the all the treads for you right here: there is no ultimate answer. It is your own opinion and it is your own choice. Somebody will always disagree with you. May be applied to more than just a MechJeb. So your poll is pointless.

Wish I had negreps available on this forum. Not only it is one of probably hundred threads over the years, no, but the op is so important and wise that his thread must be one thread to rule them all. Oh, wish I had the negreps...

This is a bit bias depending on your location. Cause where I'm at the basketball ain't got *things* on football.

Anybody played EvE Online? The patch that deleted boot.ini and rendered computers unbootable?

This. 1.0.x is out, for good and for bad, time to move on.

Precise Node - easier to fine tune nodes + ejection angle data for interplanetary Kerbal Engineer Redux - ship info Final Frontier - tracks missions for kerbonauts, mission badges Kerbal Alarm Clock - easy to track events for several missions at once Distant Object Enhancement - adds distant planets and close ships as stars in the sky Chatterer - I never fly without it, adds so much immersion, but I keep only Apollo tracks ScienceAlert - alerts you when there is science available and spares you the clicking around Waypoint Manager - adds way-points for missions that you have in map view to normal view PlanetShine - reflected light from planets/moons

It feels like a steal. So I bought it several times as present to my friends

And how many times have you started with a part that is not a pod/cockpit/probe? For every tester (~100?) there is a thousand players. Guess who will realistically try more combinations? Don't blame the testers, ever.

I think you are missing the point. With big scanner you are not "done" with scanning. You are just done with fist step, you got the vague idea where to start with medium scanner that is not one click affair, and when you are done with medium scanner you are only ready to start working with small scanner on the surface. Big scanner has wide range but low resolution, its result alone is not enough to star mining effectively. As the Churchill said: Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

Engines melt at higher temperatures than capsule. Your engine is heating up and it is passing the heat to the capsule. They are both heated up to the same levels but engines cane take it and capsule can't. The heat shield is not passing the heat, it is shedding it of while ablating.

Or you can edit your mother-in-law and send her to Eeloo! \o/

My kid was hitting space even on the preview videos (took forever to watch them...), so KSP players are in majority in my family

Watch out for the vegetarians, they might rip you apart

You are going too far. If you read EULA they where not under obligation to release any update ever. And guess what?
