    I would not put money on it or anything but I don't recall the wording of any explore contracts saying "enter the atmosphere of..." a planet. Are you using any mods perchance?
  2. Superfluous J
    That would be fine, and assuredly better than now. But this is a game about making rocket ships and sending them to different planets. Not right clicking tiny moving objects to click the correct button on their popup menus.

    IMO the main problem with science is that you have to do it. You should just get it for taking the experiments to locations. I discovered this problem on my very first trip ever to Eeloo. I realized, after the flyby was well over, that I'd totally missed it because I was right clicking little doodads on my ship.

    I would assume "Last reply" and "Recently Updated" to be the same, unless maybe "Recently Updated" refreshes for edited posts or something.

    In KSP, the framerate has never bothered me except that one ship where I got about 3 fps. I noticed it. Of course. I just didn't mind because I wasn't trying to 360 no scope some noob. (did I say that right?)

    In addition to the above, NASA also isn't getting paid 10x the cost of a rocket to put a useless satellite in a random orbit, an infinite number of times.

    It depends on what you mean by "MechJeb Hate" Do people still hate on it? Yes. Is it a rampant thing that people leave in their signatures because they're so sick of spouting it every thread? No. Is it common to forbid it from challenges? Yes.

    Finally. What a stupid way to define something so critical.

    1.5.1 Hotfix

    Superfluous J replied to UomoCapra's topic in 2018

    "We" did, on this here forum. Or maybe it was the old forum before it transitioned to this one. No matter though, it did happen. However I really doubt it had anything to do wiht Squad's reasoning. I mean, if whining about things ever affected their decision making we'd have had dV in the game since .24 and Porkjet would be the only artist allowed to work on the game.
  11. Superfluous J
    Very cool! Does the geame have a stage-by-stage dV too? That'd be awesome but I suspect no.

    I'd guess 2.5 months, seeing as they said they were going for a release every 3 months and were planning on doing a post then. I don't know if it'll be a "devblog entry" so maybe you won't consider it valid. In that case, I'd guess they will never do it again.

    IIRC 1.1 was steam-only, 1.2 was steam and store, and 1.3 onward did not do pre-releases. I don't think that "people whining" was why they stopped. "It was a huge pain and didn't actually help" had probably more to do with it.

    Good Old Games. They used to take (as in buy or license. It was all legit) old abandoned games, slap an emulator around them, and sell them cheap. Then a bit over 5 years ago they started selling new games but using the same web-based Steam-like-but-not-a-resource-hog system to sell and patch games. I don't recall right now but I think they also require the games to be DRM free. I am trying hard to not inject opinion on this but suffice it to say they do some things well and others not so well.

    Yeah it was 2^x seconds, where x is a number I'm not sure of that made the years big enough for most but easily reachable. I think 190 was around it. I'm not 100% sure what the limit is now but IIRC you can't reach it at full time warp in your lifetime.

    I just got the most hilarious vision of the Steam user numbers for KSP dropping by half overnight.

    1.5.1 Hotfix

    Superfluous J replied to UomoCapra's topic in 2018

    IIRC the release that spent months in public beta had several patches shortly after launch, just like every version of KSP in recent memory.
  18. Superfluous J
    I do not think KSP without independent time warp is feasible and yes, I read the arguments. I wouldn't play it anyway though so I've no irons in the fire.
  19. Superfluous J
    They should do this or remove the transmit button from the reports when you're a Kerbal. That button implies that there is a way to make it possible to transmit.

    I thought at the end, when the Eagle was sinking into the Sea of Tranquility, Buzz could have tried a couple more times to hop on the door to the lander before giving up and just sinking.
  21. Superfluous J
    Random thought have you tried Kerbnet? Once you get the... Okto 2? You can see biomes and IIRC even get a biome map in map mode, though that last part may be a misremember on my part, or a mod, or an alt-f12 option.
  22. Superfluous J
    Aha I didn't think of that possibility.
  23. Superfluous J
    What trickery is this? My Steam KSP folder has these 2 EXEs: Directory of c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program 07/21/2018 03:03 AM 23,488,000 KSP_x64.exe 10/15/2018 05:54 PM 23,488,000 Launcher.exe I can see maybe if they changed Steam to run "Launcher.exe" or something (or for all I know Steam's been running Launcher.exe all this time) but when I manually run ksp_x64.exe, it runs version 1.5. And when it's running with the 1.5 version in the lower right corner, taskmgr says I'm running ksp_x64.exe So either 1.5 has been ready since July or ... ?

    Yes, technically. So long as the satellite is over the same spot every 24 hours, it's synchronous. You can frequently get the same benefit from a semi-synchronous orbit with a 12 hour period as well. I guess in theory you could have satellites in orbits of 8, 6, 4, 3, or 2 hours as well. Can't have less than that because atmospheric drag

    I thought it was derailed by everybody who's hyped about it going to play it.
