  1. It may be that your engines are blocked. Are there any parts behind them? Also, what's your TWR?
  2. Receives jet of fire. Inserts charred shirt.
  3. Um, I think you're units are off by a *wee* bit. (Km/s instead of Km/h)
  4. Seriously, though, everyone says that I should have Twitter, or Facebook, or Instagram, or whatever other thing they have and I don't, yet they don't say why. I don't want one, you weirdos! I'll keep my information to myself and Google, thank you very much. (Sadly, it's not really a joke. )
  5. Receives a box. Inserts bubble wrap.

    Wooooo!

    Indeed, it really isn't the manhood-stripping show that many make it out to be. Voice of experience here. I don't watch it on a regular basis, heck, I really don't watch it at all, but I've a few bits and pieces here and there. Good luck, Whackjob. May your love be as big as your rockets.
  7. Perfect! One down, somewhere around 20 to go.

UpsilonAerospace has agreed to compose the background track, and I'll have a first draft of the actual singing done soon.
  8. But that's cheating! Anyway, he's asking for the alignment of the planets. I say just wing it (Quicksave so you can go back a few years, if needed). If you can get a Uranus intercept, that's a start. Then try planning maneuvers inside Uranus' SOI (Before you leave Kerbin! (Or Earth. )) by focusing your view on it in Map mode. As for the mathematical alignment, I could theoretically do it, but I really don't have the time right now.
  9. I'm making a parody music video for KSP. (Of "I've Gotta Feeling") For several of the "chorus" segments, I'll be displaying individual craft, celestial bodies, flags, etc. During the "main" song, it will be one ship (Which I'm building. It's hard to make something look nice and Kerbal at the same time. ) Anyways, I was going to have some of my old ships for the chorus bits, but it would be less work on my part (having to refit them for 0.90.0) and would be interesting for the Community to participate. For now, there is no set release date. If you want your craft in the video, upload it and put the link here. Depending on how many I get, I might have to choose between them. (Though I probably can fit all of them somewhere, like the credits.) Each craft will have a mention in the credits, in order of showing in the video, a link to download it, and the username of the person who built it. EDIT: If you are interested in actually participating in the song itself, by composing music or singing, shoot me a PM.

    Oooh, the suspense! (Yeah, mobile sucks. )
  11. I don't think I've "crashed" 0.90.0 yet... And I run many mods at times. My modded saves have Adjustable Landing Gear, BDArmory, EVE, Distant Object, Planetshine, Texture replacer, Hotrockets, Karbonite, Camera Tools, Hyperedit, kOS, FAR, DRE, KJR, MechJeb2, ProceduralFarings, and a few others that I undoubtedly missed. I also have a stock install.
  12. A, B, B. Though I don't really do a "suicide burn", exactly. It's a "slow-down-then-drop", "last-moment-full-throttle" thing.
  13. Crashed the mission that landed too... ran out of fuel and stalled just north of KSC.
  14. Bad usage of grammar and syntax? Cheater!

    Tree, mast, or sail?

    A spider or albatross?
  17. I'd suggest the same as above, but using something like toilet paper, a paper towel, a Q-Tip, whatever you've got on hand. You can get really smooth shading effects like this. For example:
  18. HP Pavilion with an i7 core, Intel Integrated graphics, for around $550 on Black Friday. Runs and records KSP just fine.
  19. "Recombobulating Discombobulator" has to be by far the most amusing thing I've ever read.
  20. I was going to get a Lenovo Y50 myself, but then I found my current laptop, at it works just fine. Doesn't run as good as the Y50 would, though.

    Repost for new page(s). The moon?
  22. *Member of crew inside bigger tank* *captain looks through periscope*
  23. The Vogon Constructor Fleet obliterates your planet to make way for an intergalactic highway. Some of the rubble lands on a nearby planet. I plant a flag and call it a hill. My hill.
