"Re-Nerf"? Wouldn't that make it worse than what you're already complaining about? (Not meant to be aggressive, but I cannot put it any other way...) As far as I can see, the NERVA is supposed to be both really good and really bad, depending on your ship. It certainly is not the one-engine-for-everything it used to be, and that's a good thing. It makes you rethink your designs and be more efficient. While most pre-1.0 ships using the NERVA will no longer work as planned, 1.0+ ships, taking into account the NERVA's new role, should see a similar level of efficiency.

Nice idea!

If it is what I think it is, it is a common bug. You'll also get the issue where you cannot end flights or switch to another vessel. Try restarting your game. Also, upload your log file. It's in the main KSP directory, the one above* GameData EDIT: * = In the hierarchy, not order-wise

Ominous... Good luck, you'll need it! At least at that speed you shouldn't have to worry about hills so much.

I think that I might make the 10,000 post mark eventually. By then Sal will probably have 20,000 posts...

He is away serving the mighty Ender Dragon. Where is the First Lorde of the Sea?

These are both quite good, well spotted!

Thanks, DarkGravity, will add those ASAP!

I think he means the flag...

*salutes* Hear, hear!

9/10 could use some organization, other than that it looks good! How about moving the AMRSD logo to the left, and the text link to the top (of the right side)?

It's back? What do you mean, the Kraken is back? It never left in the first place! Yeah, there are some designs that don't play nice with the physics engine, as you just found out the hard way.

So did I. That moment when your history textbook actually says something INTERESTING, for once. - - - Updated - - - If you find one, put it here. I'll be adding to the list too!

Welcome aboard! I look forward to seeing your craft!

An idea I just had, of a list of all the Easter Eggs in the game as of right now. 1.0.2. There are other threads, but they are outdated both in version and in date. I'll start us off with the "Stayputnik" probe core. Easter Eggs for Parts The United States' Vanguard spacecraft, launched after the Soviet Union's Sputnik, lifted no more than a few feet before exploding. As such, many reporters nicknamed it the Stayputnik. Apparently this made it into KSP. Its description reads: The Z-200 is a stackable variant of the Z-100 battery pack, with increased capacity. In emergency situations, please refrain from "reversing the polarity". This is a reference to the phrase, "reverse the polarity of the neutron flow" from the popular science fiction television show Doctor Who. This part has a cost of 42. Could this part be the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, as popularized by the novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? This part's name alone seems to be a reference to the novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. With the description: "Despite the big scary trefoil painted onto the side of this engine, its radioactive exhaust, and tendency to overheat, the LV-N Atomic Rocket Motor is harmless. Mostly. Note that the LV-N is the only LV series engine to run solely on Liquid Fuel - the future is glowing bright!" This is a reference to HHGttG's Encyclopedia Galactica's entry on Earth. For centuries, the E.G.'s only entry on Earth was one word long: "Harmless." That is, untill Ford Prefect visited Earth and spent years researching our planet (and drinking a lot of beer). After that, his research for the encyclopedia was accepted and the entry finally updated to the much more thorough "Mostly Harmless." On this part, you can see it says "Kurvy!" written on the part. Probably related to the fact it's very curvy. Its description reads: "The HECS core capabilities go far beyond its sleek, 6-sided futuristic casing. This probe core provides advanced guidance assistance technology, and comes fitted with internal reaction wheels and decently-sized batteries. Despite concerns that one day, autonomous spacecraft cores could become self-aware and turn against their creators, or even become very stubborn against opening pod bay doors, Probodobodyne insists that these unmanned AI-driven devices are the way of the future." In "2001: A Space Odyssey" HAL 9000 was an autonomous self-aware spacecraft core that turned against his creators and refused to open the pod bay doors. This part's name might also be a reference to the magical computer named Hex in Terry Pratchett's Discworld. The image file for the launch clamps has a picture of Clamps from Futurama hidden in it. You'll find him if you open the image in a editor (like Paint). The Oscar-B Fuel Tank says "Do not wash in cold water, or feed after midnight." This is a reference to the movie, Gremlins, where getting them wet or feeding them after midnight turns the cute cuddlers into demons from hell. Easter Eggs for Mechanics WARNING: This section contains game mechanic spoilers, such as science collection. Do be careful. If you want to discover these on your own, please, skip this section. Obviously a reference to 2001, A Space Odyssey, when HAL-9000 refuses to open the pod bay doors for Dave: "The computer gave an odd report no matter how many times we sent the request. Open the sample bay doors... "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't let you do that" was the only reply. The doors did open very promptly when we opened the fusebox panel. Very curious." Loading Hints Another Adams egg is found when the game is loading. One of the phrases the pops up is: "Finding answer to Ultimate Question" as the green loading bar progresses, and only then "Finding Ultimate Question." This is basically the plot of HHGttG. Long ago, a race of super-smart beings built the ultimate computer of all time, "Deep Thought" and asked it the Ultimate Question of "life, the universe and everything." After a few millennia contemplating this question, Deep Thought revealed that the answer is 42. It further elucidated that while this is truly the correct answer, the problem was that the question was imperfectly asked. And so began the saga (trilogy of books) of the search for The Ultimate Question. The pursuit of TUQ is what caused the construction of Earth (and ultimately you and me) in the first place. A reference to this xkcd comic. Scroll to the bottom. Up Goer Five What else? You post 'em, I'll put them up!

The game as a whole needs some Englishification, as I've pointed out on several occasions.

You can find me under Starwhip's Space Program on YouTube (Hopefully I'll have more than 2 videos soon! ),and under Starwhip on Imgur (Tons of random uploads for KSP, but there's some cool stuff in there).

As the problem still does not seem to be solved, I'm downloading from the KSP Store now. Ah, well.

Seems to be working now.

I laugh in the face of your "no cool rovers on Kerbin".

Go to settings -- edit profile and it should be the first box under the "optional information" heading.

Fair point.

So with 1.0, jets take fuel from all tanks at once on the stage, while rockets drain them in the standard flow pattern of farthest tank first. Why not a feature in the editor that lets you modify the order of tanks that are draned for an engine, or group of engines? Default fuel rules would be in place until you activated the feature, and there would be a button to return the routing to default.

I don't know, but the reason for the half throttle is the failure of many new people to ever throttle up their liquid fuel engines in the first place and being frustrated when their rocket does nothing on ignition.

That. Sounds. Amazing. Haven't had anything to do with these so-called "social" gatherings () but we'll see about next year. Maybe something will happen...
