  1. @Norcalplanner Intakes per engines is really subjective from person to person. I'm running 8 per engines. Give me maximum air, and altitude of 32km before frame out.

    Well, I like it I play it my ways. You should play it your ways. 5 makes you happy, then stick it with 5.

    Anyhow more than 8 per engines is waste of parts, due to the maximum it take is 8 more than that it give no advantages.

    Check this out. Here

    There are 3 major Spaceplane categories.

    1) Use the rocket to push, air-intake engines just for landing. (Rocket heavy)

    2) Use the rocket and air-intake engines to push. (Balance)

    3) Use air-intake engines to push, and minimum rocket to achieve orbit. (Air-intakes Engines heavy)

    Each of them give difference advantages.

    1) Rocket heavy, Example the in-game stock craft. It gets to orbit pretty fast (Very fast). Refuel, and land back to KSC.

    2) Balance, Normally consist of 2~4 intakes per engines, well, balance, enough saying. I will say this is the slowest of both.

    3) The maximum air intakes. It gets to maximum altitudes 32km before switching to rocket for a minimal push for orbit. (Some technique allow it to orbit without rocket engines. It can be done). This takes some times to build up the speed.

  2. @O-Doc : Nothing much, I just feel being rob (in internet bandwidth term). Again and again and again every time I visited the 1st page, of this thread or of my previous hosted challenge thread. (Browser does not cache that much). And again, is like showing that 'he' have a Lamborghini or Porsche all around, hater gonna hate, yeah. Nvm now, I have a solution for it, and it solve my problem. And I just want to shows the other on how to do it. Nothing too much personal.

    @Voculus: Spoiler tag does not help. Please mind the other feeling. If you really want to feel how we 'poor' people feel, every time you post your thread please download 10 set of this photos. Here Or a direct link here. (It just a photo of the galaxy). 24.6GB each photo x 10 sets each time you do a post.

    I don't know you and you don't know me. We recognize each other just by an ID and what we post. It serve no meaning for our personal life. We just close our browser, and off we go. I really want to be considerate and play nice, but some people just don't realize. Sorry if I hurt you somehow, but I'm the victims in the 1st place.

  3. Build something similar to a truck. Put a Kerbal on it. Then switch to the truck and move.

    Weirdness. The Kerbal don't stay on the truck. Instead it stay in relativity to the gravity of where it stand.

    There is not enough 'pull' to stick Kerbal feet on the truck so they can move along with the truck.

    I know that that is the game engines "Unity" that cause this.

    My question for discussion:-

    1) Is it logical to have this rectify?

    Some reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytical_dynamics

  4. Slight digression from the main topic, but I take issue with so-called "energy saving" websites such as Blackle and the aforementioned GoEcogoogle. Energy savings from not lighting up pixels generally applies to traditional CRT monitors more than the newer and more prevalvent LCDs (in LCDs, the white backlight is always on, even if you switch all the pixels to black - in fact, a black screen on an LCD uses more energy than a white screen, so LCD users of Blackle and GoEcogoogle are actually harming the environment more).

    "Save the environment" is a nice gesture, Sirine, but you're being far too zealous about it by promoting these questionable tricks, particularly in trading image quality for questionable bandwidth/electricity savings. Instead of resorting to such "tricks", more substantial "saving the environment" should come from switching to LED home/office lighting, car pooling, taking public transport, refraining from using disposable cutlery.

    You forget that there are 70% of the world are still using CRT monitor.

    One simple question, your so-called smartphone, by turning the brightness higher means consuming more power or the other ways round? LED work the same. Black does save some degree of energy.

  5. So is your issue with the screenshots or with the uploading mechanisms? Most of the images that are shared online go through some image service like imgur which automatically converts most images that would be shared here to a lossy format like JPG anyways. I fail to see how offering the ability to save screenshots as JPG in the first place changes that at all.

    No. imgur will not auto convert your upload file unless you manually select it to convert to JPG. And most of the imgur album here are PNGs.

    If just in-case anyone wandering what I'm concerning here. I mind that, the PNG file size too large compare with JPG. And please respect the less fortunate of 70% in the world that do not have broadband internet speed.
