  1. For people who want a happy medium between 1.25 meter parts and 2.5 meter parts. Or, for people who would like MORE power. or for people who want to make stock ATV's.

  3. Similar to Home Grown Rocket Parts's 1.875 meter parts. Like the 3.75 meter parts, the 1.875 meter parts will be made by a new spacecraft company. The 1.875 meter part's creator will be a company called Kerbworks Spacecraft Division. There would be four 1.875m fuel tanks, long, medium, short and mini. Three engines. The Kerbworks-15 Engine, which would be a low-thrust engine that would only be useful for station rendezvous. (Think of the engine on the Cygnus: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8a/Cygnus_Orb-D1.5.jpg ) Then, there would be the Kerbworks-30 Engine, which would be a short, corpulent orbital achievement engine, which would be similar to the LV-909. And then, at last, but not least, the Kerbworks-45 Engine, which has MORE POWER and thrust, and fuel consumption than a LV-30. But it has thrust vectoring. Then, there would be a 1.875m SAS module, and a remote guidance unit, called the RC-002M ATV Core. Of course, for looks, there would be a 1.875 meter-to-1.25 meter adapter, and a 1.875 meter to a 2.5 meter adapter. And, just for fun, there would be a 1.875m command module called the Kerbworks "Adagio" Command Module, that can contain two kerbonauts. and at last, but not least, there would be a 1.875 meter hitchhiker module called the PPD-05 Mini Hitchiker Storage Module that can maintain three kerbonauts. Oh, and for stations, there would be a 1.875 meter docking port called the Clamp-O-Tron Teenager.
  4. Perhaps when i'm older, i can "buy" a star and name it Kerbol.
  5. Hello, this is Sylandro speaking, and i have a useful tutorial about all-stock command module fairings! First of all, open up KSP and play it, once it's done loading, open up your save and click on the VAB. Then, you'd want to choose a command module, either the mk.1 or mk.1-5. First up, let's start with the mk.1 command module. Attach two radial parachutes and a decoupler. Add a SAS. When you're done, it should look something like this: Make sure you have angle snap on and 4x symmetry for this next step. Add four TT-38XK radial decouplers, and then add a M-Beam 650 I-beam on those four decouplers. You're halfway done now. Add four 1x1 plates on the M-Beams, and then angle them so that they're near the 0.625m top of the command module. Then, add four seperatrons near the top of the 1x1 plates, and huzzah! You have a working command module fairing! Your result should look like this: For the mk1.5 command modules, do the same, but with 8x symmetry. Sylandro, out!
  6. CHAPTER 2: A SATELLITE INTO ORBIT A day passed. It was a recordbreaking day for the infant UPFCEP (United Plutonic Federation Celestial Exploration Program), which seemed to be a good name by Jarowa Hamnie's standards. Another modified Icarus 1 IBCM was rolled out, this time, with a tin, windowless command module was bolted on. It reached around mid-afternoon when it finally reached the launchpad. A small ladder was deployed. And the Plutonic test pilot Jebediah Kerman was supposed to board, but.. He was absent. Instead, back-up test pilot and local braniac Bob Kerman walked to it. "Sir, here's a note from Jeb." Bob said, as he handed a crumpled wad of paper to Jarowa Hamnie. It read: "Sorry if i wasn't here today, i'm too busy watching action movies with my two sons! -Jebediah Geronimo Kerman". Jarowa sighed. "Lazy motherf***er." He said, as he watched Bob board the command module. "Five minutes until launch. Better get to a safe viewing distance as soon as possible." A voice said. Jarowa and a couple of high-ranking UPAF members walked to a small viewing site. Five minutes passed by. "T- ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Icarus 2 has achieved liftoff." Bob let out a faint, inaudible scream as the modified IBCM launched, gaining velocity as it ascended. "Everything's running fine, receiving station. Over." Bob said, panicking and gasping for air. "Great. The automated onboard systems should be starting your gravity as you ascend higher. Say hi to my cousin who's vacationing in Agraria as you pass over it. Over." A voice said over on the intercom. "Roger that. Over." Bob said, as he controlled the IBCM, and separated the first stage, and activated the second stage. "I'm doing great. Over." Bob said. "I think i could see the stars from this altitude if this had a window, over." There was a loud hiss and explosion. "Oh, crap! I think the engine just went! O-over!" Bob said, hyperventilating. "Stay calm. Over." The voice on the intercom said. Bob sighed, and he separated the stage, activating the parachutes. Bob was now thinking to himself. Gee. I would love to see the stars. IF THIS HAD A WINDOW! There was silence over the comms, then the command module entered the atmosphere, re-entry started, making a technical sauna inside the tin command module. Bob was hyperventilating, and he'd most likely die of cerebal hypoxia, if the parachutes wouldn't of have opened. The command module splashed down. Next mission, if we could send a probe into a sub-orbital trajectory, we could send a probe into orbit. "If you can dodge a truck, then you can dodge a ball." /--/ Early October, a orbital launch vehicle was made, and christened: "Urania 1". A group of engineers beckoned Jarowa over too see it. Jarowa Hamnie's jaw dropped. "Sweet mother of Pluto." He said. A engineer walked over to him. "Tons of power. Can possibly make it into orbit, with fuel left over!" He said. "You got that damn right." Jarowa Hamnie. "Look guys, i'm giving you a week off of work, just because of this.. Beauty. Roll her down to the pad and let her launch." Jarowa Hamnie said, as the engineers sighed and exchanged looks, and high-fived eachother. The Urania 1 rolled down to the IBCM launch pad. The launch was delayed, but the next day, dozens of Plutonic citizens swarmed to see it. The Kerbals who lived farther away watched the launch on their own televisions. A female news reporter had a microphone and said. "Aiur Returik, from UPFNN! This day, the Prometheus space probe is launching aboard a Urania 1 launch vehicle! The final seconds are ticking away!" Aiur Returik said, at a safe distance from the exhaust. There was a loud roaring noise, the Urania 1 has lifted off. "May Sunstar, bless this launch vehicle and it's payload!" At the small comms station, a group of scientists and UPAF IBCM launch directors watched the Urania I lifted off, anxiously. Hoping and praying to Sunstar and Terra that the main engine won't have a failure, like in Bob Kerman's suborbital flight. The first staging came shortly after the gravity turn, and the launch directors were gasping in fear of a launch anomaly. Two minutes later they separated the second stage, the new FLIGHTNAV system onto the liquid booster that would boost Prometheus into orbit kicked on, and time seemed to go slow for the flight directors. The booster separated, and a mass celebration roared out, the flight directors popped champagne and sparkling lemonade. The first signals from Prometheus kicked to a start, and the individuals at mission control started getting the first scientific signals and data from Prometheus. The Kerbals that watched the launch, were having a feast, inviting their neighbors over, and all that jazz. -- Phew, that took me a long time to write! Now excuse me as i take a rest from writing.
  7. Belive it or not, i have a star named after me! (Here's a image of me holding the certificate for the star) If you want to find it, it's in Scorpio, (strangely enough, it's my zodiacal sign), the astronomical position is Right Ascension, 15H57M52.225, Declination, -25D46M31S, Magnitude 14.82. Not exactly sure if it's visible to the naked eye, but it exists.
  8. Floor 725: The previous floors seem to get farther, and farther away as you notice a active rocket engine.
  9. Be patient, young grasshopper! Related to this, i finally, finally completed the map of the countries in this AAR! Took me 3-4 days to make. Going to put that on the main post when i get the time.
  10. 453: Run around screaming: "FEEEED ME, FEEEEEEED ME!"
  11. Exactly what the title says, remove curse, it's clunky, malware-laced and it sucks. Also, we don't want alot of minecraft users flooding this forum, do we?
  12. Floor 716: Santa Kerman ruptures through the wall with his rocket-powered sleigh, screaming. You barely make it.
  13. Nah, not really. The user below me has read a AAR.
  14. This looks delicious.
  15. WE NEED TO SEND A KERBAL INTO ORBIT. NOW. Please and thank you of course.
  16. Huh, what? The user below me is on this forum.
  17. At floor 36, i see Kerbin has a impact trajectory with me. Bummer.
  18. Sylandro

    For science.

    I ate my pet kerbal. FOR SCIENCE.
  19. Floor 707: Well, this is odd. The floor is gone, and you somehow make it up to Floor 708.
  20. Alright, i lied, but the chapter is coming Soon, and by Soon, i mean next Friday. And really, it's coming out next Friday.
