This and this alone is the reason I'd like to have in-flight action group configuration. Could we also get a debug menu cheat where we can edit fuel levels, light colors, stuff like that?

Ouch. I doubt that KSP modders will ever resort to charging money, because once they do, nobody will get their mod. Someone else will probably copy them too. (Not literally copying them, but publishing a similar mod)

:facedesk: This thing is not* going to survive the switch to 1.0... *Maybe it will, but logic says no.

My wall was the navball. In the demo, when I started playing, I had to do the moon landing by eye. Once I figured out the navball, rendezvous and docking was the next wall. But it passed quickly enough. I still can't do SSTO VTOLs, but hey, who needs those? *creepy addict voice* I do. I need them so bad! Welcome to the forum, AlexClark!

10/10 Ludicrous Speed light.

[Rerailing in progress...] Do not land on the Magic Boulder after midnight.

I still haven't gotten around to reading this whole thing through. Soon, soon.

5 - Spore. Despite the disappointment of the finished product, it was a fun game. 4 - Morrowind. Third game in the Elder Scrolls series. Had more than my share of fun moddimg that game. 3 - Mariokart DS. My friends and I had so much fun with that game. 2 - Skyrim. I have played this one for a little while. Lots of fun, modding is hard. But I'm learning. 1 - Emperor: Battle for Dune. Still my favorite game of all time. Ten years and I still haven't won.

This is short because I'm on mobile. More coming this weekend, for sure! CHAPTER FIVE: The Other Side of the Glass Jeb drifted slowly through the dark emptiness of space toward the communications antenna. He had a set of tools attached to his EVA suit on a strap, each one secured by a cable of decent length. Carefully, he manipulated the joysticks that controlled his thruster pack. Jeb floated closer still, and he readied himself to grab hold of the small rung near the base of the craft placed there for exactly this purpose. Giving the joysticks a last push, he reached out with both arms... Gene was aroused from his half-sleep by a slowly blinking amber light. Frowning, he leaned forward over the control panel, attracting the attention of Wernher and Bill, who stopped their hushed conversation. "What's that light, Gene?" Bill walked over to the comtrol station and cast his gaze on the light. "Not sure, Bill. It's new. Let's see here..." He traced a faint white identification number with his finger, then turned to the manual on his left. Running through it, he quickly found what he was looking for. Gene let out a short gasp. "Autopilot status light," Gene read in a hurried voice. "It's executing a program!"

I have to agree with this. Rockets are nice and convenient and all, but successfully making an SSTO is one of the best feelings. I made one that had a payload fraction of 60%. It was great. Never underestimate rockets, though. They can do everything an SSTO spaceplane can do. And SSTO spaceplanes can do everything rockets can do. It just might require more time...

Well, think about it. "Missing for far too long" doesn't mean it was never there. I say they're bringing the Boulder back.

Sounds so much better when read in a turret voice. Welcome aboard!

Come at me, bro. 2.1 kilometers is harder than it looks!

And the occasional debris field...

Once? 1/10

After a few minutes of screwing around with the gizmos, I created this. Reconnaissance Air Ship No.909 "Kyrian Wing" A quirky little aircraft, it was built to be disguised as a bird of prey when at surveillance altitude. However, Kerbin's utter lack of birds, or any wildlife, for that matter, quickly shoved this project on the back burner for the Kerbal Media's spy program. It remains a quality aircraft, however, fully functional in all regards. Tailstrikes are virtually impossible, thanks to Tail-Gear Embeddingtm technology. It can get to a decent altitude as well. Just be careful when leveling out... it's a beast to turn at high altitudes. The down-angled cockpit ends up with quite a nice design feature: not only can you see the runway better when landing, but pointing your level indicator at the horizon actually keeps you going upwards, instead of leaving you sinking into the deep blue of Kerbin's seas, or the jagged peaks of the nearest mountain.

Test: Fifth Grade. Multiple Choice Section. I am NOT making this up. There was a question that asked I answered "rock" or something. Apparently, the "correct" answer was, fire. What the what...

PyGame "game". It was a heavily modified version of the example "Dodger" program that was included in a learning manual I got. And it's about twice as long as it needs to be. Many things were hardcoded that could become modular. So: Learning to do basics? Maybe a few months. Competency? A year or two. Mastering? Never. Though you'll get pretty darn good in a few more years.

Um, because you didn't buy the Steam key, you bought the standalone game? Unless you mean to say that you actually went and bought a Steam key independently of the game and never got it. In which case, unless you've got evidence, you're SOL. Two years is a bit long... (If you don't have any evidence at all, I don't think anyone can do anything in the first place, be it two years ago or two minutes ago.)
