WafflesToo

Just my two cents, I'm for it so long as it's optional. This isn't something that will impact most gameplay, BUT I can see two scenarios where it would. #1 when something unexpected comes up (the aforementioned "rescue mission") and #2 when you start getting orbital infrastructure in place and timing between missions starts to become important. Heck, I could see leaving a spaceplane sitting on the runway just in case could become a sound strategy.

Thirded... or fourth...ed? Anyway, agreed. I'm looking into what it takes to mod IVAs just to fix this issue.

Eh, non-issue for me since I start all over with each new update anyway.

Oh, hey, it was my pleasure. Thank you once again for working with me on it. Heh, I like workman efficiency. Sadly, both probes turned out to be defective due to a manufacturer oversight. I'll have to launch new ones as soon as the litigation is done so I'll have a chance to show the latest and greatest that I've been playing with.

Thanks, I'll work in more bass next time. Your drop ships are interesting in their own right. How did you get the LV909s mounted inside the jet engines?

Well good for you

What can I say, interplanetary travel and return simply because that's as far as I've proven myself. The problem is every time I think about leaving Kerbin's SOI I find a new project or some other way to play with the game and SHINY RED BALL WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I bring you the 'Fireball-II' rocketplane! It's payload capacity was quite underused... but I couldn't think of anything else I needed launched at the time

Ahhh, thanks. As old and popular as this challenge is it felt like it needed one and I was happy to work with boolybooly to provide one. But really, I was motivated purely out of selfish self-interest... I just wanted another badge in my signature Uploaded full-size and 128-px versions of the badges.

Ohhh derp! Just turn the coupler around so it stays on the parent craft. I play KSP gud!

I thought about that already but I don't think you can tie a docking port to a stage event, unless I misunderstood.

A decoupler is a structure part... how is it possible to make a single part stage without one?

So you're saying altering your config is totally legit? Kind of makes balancing challenges a bit difficult. Heck, intake stackers and wing clippers haven't seen anything yet.

Two words, "docked landers". Been burned too many times on that one to blindly trust an automaton.

And that is the piece I was missing. The funny bit is I came to that conclusion this morning and if you hadn't been rude about it I would've recanted at about 9am my time.

You may have been breif but you were hardly consise. Outside of a vague description of an experiment involving effectively pendulum weights revolving around a common axsii; lacking conditions for the actual experiment or any published results. I fav to see how that link supports your statement. What I'm seeing is two parts if a system; a storage tank and the liquid inside. The storage tank is suspended and free to move. A pump is applying force on the liquid to rotate it in a clockwise direction inside the tank. This pump just be attached to the tank. IAW Newton's third law, if the pump is applying N force on the fluid the fluid must apply -N force on the pump forcing the tank to rotate in a counter-clockwise direction. If I'm mistaken I will gladly accept correction, but I will not accept being insulted and told, "because I / person said so".

No need to be terse. And we're talking about which condition satisfies the conservation of momentum. I fail to see how you can move material around inside the machine in one direction without imparting movement on the rocket in the opposite direction.

That wins the internet My limit seems to be spaceplanes over 30 tons. Much over that and I just can't seem to get enough wing on it. Gave up and went with a rocket style SSTO

And I disagree with his conclusion. I do not see where the fuel "stops" until it reaches the inside tank at least, and at that is at a mechanical disadvantage. Wouldn't be to difficult to an experiment, a few soda bottles and a bit of thread maybe? A couple of ballons to provide pressure to the outermost "tanks"?

I can't wait for the Devs to fix that bug.

Jool would have a one-way trip. You're short about 1.5km/s of dV. What everyone else said; Duna or Dres. You could make Eve, but not land on it (and your lander is overkill food Gilly.

I like the old-man cackle

I mostly do challenge videos; either forum challenges or personal challenges where I'm limited in some way (such as building a manned interplanetary mission using a launch vehicle limited to 12 tons LKO ) though I'm getting into some more RP stuff lately.

HAHAHAHAHA! Oh Kerbol's light YES! I cannot count how many probes have gone on ballistic trajectories for not following this rule
