Hi guys. This is why I feel the stock "fairings" are absolute garbage and think Squad screwed up not making the mod Procedural fairings stock. Proc fairing needs no special mm coding, its absolutely user friendly and intuitive where the stock attempt at fairings is none of this. Plus Proc Fairings HAS an interstage fairing node. Just saying.

Falcon 9 does a boost back to slow stage 1 down for re entry. now, 1200K is only 1700.33 F which is low, but kerbin is smaller than earth so could be reasonable? But 3300K is 5480.33F which is better suited for earth, but way high for ksp. Something in the middle would be nice. side note, those things on the falcon 9 pic are control surfaces not brakes.

if i am not mistaken it was an april fools thing, seeing as it was gone April 2nd. things are as they were before 4-1-16 and as they are now after it.

@Zosma Procyon Take a gander, you might find this interesting. No cheat was used if you were wondering. all 8 of those air brakes survived reentry.

well, for starters, we want a site dedicated to just KSP for mods. Kerbalstuff was where it was at, but now that its gone, we are adrift. spacedock LOOKED like it would fill that niche, but, it cant now as it supports other games. also the more games and the even more mods that its handling increases the chance for malware.

In my opinion alignment only matters if you are obsessing over making it match down to the last micrometer in terms of rotation. I used to use lazor docking cam for realism but honestly? Misalignment is very kerbal hehe

Really? Another? Look squad is not a proper design house with the resources that come with it. They are a mexico based ADVERTISING FIRM FIRST!!!! They chose to use STEAM because THEY have the gear to deal with this kind of load. Keep also in mind its buggier than a swamp after a thunderstorm. 1.1 is nearing us, be patient. I honestly think the most sour people about this are not wanting to test but just play.

It's stunning how far we have come since that day! I wonder how far we will have gone at the 100th anniversary of his flight?

Ive had jeb bill and bob on mohos surface and brought them home, taken them out to land on eeloo and brought them home. I even have a probe in "polar" orbit of the sun and its orbit is something like 14 years to just go half way around. Yes its extremely far out beyond eeloos orbit lol.

I will be blunt. There is so much work that must be done on single player that, realistically and logically it is not feasible or even remotely appropriate for multiplayer to be even a spec of a hint of a shadow of a glimmer of a dream of a suggestion to be considered. Why? Simple. Career mode for starters. 1. It has no meaning. As in why play it over sand box or science? Contracts are illogically presented, non-linear progression, as in, it will give you contracts that are well beyond your means just because you did something that is but a step to that contract. 2. What is there to keep me once the novelty fades? Again, the illogic of it all kills it quick. 3. Then you have bugs. Some bugs have been around since before 0.21 and there is no telling when or if they get squished. I can go on, but suffice it to say that multiplayer is beyond the scope of what is logical and appropriate for squad to do now. Like it or not, this game is not mature enough (read: polished enough in terms of performance, graphics and bugs) for such ambitions. Likewise squad is setting the bar very high with their ambitions as far as i can tell and doing multiplayer now or even in 6 months or even a year may be too soon and could be more damaging and disastrous to the game and its future. I am sorry to say it, but, logic demands that it be postponed until single-player has been even more properly fleshed out. I say this with clinical and logical dispassion pure and simple. With passion and emotion i say: multiplayer in ksp is not my brand of tea or coffee and i will forever pass on it. As ive said in other threads: i have said what i feel i needed to. I now depart this thread never to return to it. Happy flying and happy exploring to you all.

So @Alshain if i read you correctly my admittedly blunt opinion that this game is not suited for multiplayer brings nothing to the conversation? Fine. Let me expand. 1. How will mods (parts and ro/rp-0 for ex) be handled? Especially when not all people use the same ones? 2. Time warp. How will this kodiak bear be dealt with? 3. People breaking space stations for kicks? Say you build a station then i come along after your gone doing something else and i dock and remove nodes or fully crash it? No real proof would show up to prove what really went down. Too big a chance for bs like this. 4. People ramming others for kicks? I can go on for ever with ways this can go bad, and guess what? Squad can never be prepared for all of it. They need to scrap the idea and focus on the single player aspect. They need to make the career mode more ...well... more coherent, meaningful, linear and logical. It needs a reason for players to play it and not science mode or sandbox. Thats no small task. Its one that is huge and needs attending to. I again can go on till i pass out, but i trust my points made.

@Pecan Considering that its a waste of memory to duplicate functions via 2 mods, I do not touch ker. Ive seen das use ker enough times to be quite certain that what ever minute features not covered by ker or MJ such as a HUD is handled by yet more mods that would still be duplicating features rendering ker pointless. But, preferences are everything. Which makes threads like is this mod cheating or is that mod this or that pointless in the end. my final words on this thread are thus: mechjeb does a major portion, like 99.99% of ker, and if you run both MJ and ker, it is my opinion you are wasting space on your computer as you are needlessly duplicating functions. With that said, I will not return to this thread. I have said what I felt I needed to say. Happy flying, happy explorations to all.

@Alshain This is one game that does NOT NEED multiplayer. Not suited for it.

In all honesty i hope multiplayer goes the way the original resources went. As in away, forgotten. Ksp does not need it. There is a mod for those who it. Keep it as a mod.

Want a hud even though the nav ball is enough imo? Ok. Mechjeb + navhud. Should cover it now.

Once 1.1 goes live this may be moot, but, if you use both ker AND mechjeb you are wasting memory. There is NO FUNCTION of KER that Mechjeb cannot do. Save some space if you use BOTH mods and use MJ. It IS KER with automation. With this said, i only use mechjeb because i need the info and refuse the tedium of burn management and thats that.

1. Mechjeb: need infos and automation. 2. Procedural fairings: need this as it is superior to stock. Period. 3. Novapunch: i like the parts. Not too few not too many.

in a word? nope. then again, my planes are not what you would call small lol.

@Third_OfFive Agreed! Just curious that they stopped ludicrously short of full integration of the mod

Nope. Until the camera is stock, its not all stock. For now, it's just a new antenna, probe body and solar array.

currently cloudy, 61F, winds are north at 18mph, humidity is 64%.

The people complaining they got screwed over by and large have ZERO INTEREST IN BUG HUNTING! They just want to play 1.1! They dont get how tiny squad is or that their day job isnt game making but advertising.

I assume that when people suggest both mechjeb AND ker to use in tandem autopilot is wanted. This is where having mechjeb and mechjeb only makes sense. It has the functions of ker AND autopilot. 2 mods in 1 = space saved & avoids needlessly duplicated functions. @I_Killed_Jeb

I see a lot of people complaining that they feel jilted by the fact steam users got the prerelease whilst squad store users did not. You guys need to understand that Squad is not a dedicated design studio for games. They are first an advertising company. As such they do not have the dedicated resources something like this REQUIRE. Steam does. They made a tactical choice in using Steam for this and, guess what? It was the RIGHT ONE. Period.

@I_Killed_Jeb Why run two mods with heavy overlap when mechjeb is the mod that does ker and has autopilot.
