  1. Congrats guys, you totally deserved the Best Game of All Time Forever Award (or whatever it was called).
  2. I need this so I can begin building my mun base! The only danger currently to my brave Kerbals is me crashing them into things at high velocities.
  3. I miss my TweakScale. Never really knew how much I rely on it until now.
  4. Yep. There's two other people on the Steam discussion page with the same problem.
  5. I feel like I watched a Russian launch not too long ago where the vehicle (not a Proton) had lost an engine but still managed to get into orbit. I also remember a case of SpaceX losing an engine on one of their launches and continuing fine.
  6. To be fair, the last time someone released the ENB "mod" for KSP, there was a **** storm that followed it as well.
  7. Allows you to use the throttle (Control/Shift) for the tracks, instead of holding the 'W' key.
  8. Have you tried using Touhou's new landing gear on the carriers? I'd be interested to know if they work just as well on the flight deck as they do on the ground.
  9. Reminds me of a flattened Firefly. The ship, not the insect.
  10. The UDK-CO3 "Lobby" makes me think of the observation room on the ship in Sunshine. Wonder if the Kerbal's were smart enough to install glass with UV shielding.
  11. I've been having difficulties getting it to control my vehicles. I had a plane sitting on the flight deck of my carrier and while I could go through the staging and control the throttle without issue when I finally went to launch it wouldn't pull up. When I tested it on the deck the control surfaces would not respond to a single thing unless being controlled manually.
  12. I would suggest just making your own thread for the craft file and any pictures and then just post a pic here with a link to the thread.I wouldn't say I made an X-47b but I made a UAV that I tried to model off the body style. I just couldn't bring myself to lose the vertical stabilizers though.
  13. No problem. EDIT: Damn, beaten to the punch.
  14. Also, Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck Kerbals with a nuke to blow up the asteroid. While we're at it, throw in a Steve Buscemi one that's capable of riding on rockets. Just imagine how cool all those solar arrays would look.
  15. While checking my twitter feed I noticed NASA had just posted a tweet mentioning Kerbal. Thought it may be worth sharing.
  16. Thank god, I've been scouring the SpacePort to see if it was on there but I had a sneaking suspicion that it wasn't uploaded to there. This helps immensely with the building of aircraft carriers.
  17. I've missed this mod so much. Even with the smaller size of the MJ2 box I still find myself fighting it for space on my smaller vehicles.
  18. Full time English speaker and I think you're doing fine. Love the lander pod capsule thingy. Managed to have it survive a high speed impact with Duna but was destroyed on the bounce. Maybe if I remember the parachutes things will go better.
  19. Uhm... It has wheels??? " Polaris is specialized for drilling at the Moon's pole which is characterized by low glancing sun angles and operation near shadowed regions that can reach cryogenic temperatures. The rover is tall enough to deploy a 4ft drill and produce 250W of power with solar panels oriented toward the Sun, which stays just above above the horizon.Polaris, 5 ½ feet (1.7m) tall, 7 feet (2.1m) wide and almost 8 feet (2.4m) long, can move at about a foot a second on 2-foot-diameter wheels. The rover weighs 150 kilograms, or about 330 pounds, and can accommodate a drill and science instruments of up to 70 kilograms, or a bit more than 150 pounds. Computer vision determines the rover's position on the Moon with 10ft accuracy. Without GPS, Polaris will match surface pictures with satellite imagery taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to determine its location on the Moon. The rover features wheels and chassis beams constructed of light, tough composite materials. The lighter structural materials minimize overall weight while accommodating the heavy drill and massive batteries required for this mission. Astrobotic has won nine lunar contracts from NASA worth $3.6 million, including one to evaluate how Polaris can accommodate NASA's ice-prospecting instruments during a three-mile traverse near the Moon's north pole."
  20. Any possibilities of making this at some point in the future?
  21. So here's my mobile kethane drill platform. Capable of surpassing time travel speeds (88 m/s) and fairly stable when turning at those speeds. Now I only need to find a way to transport it to the Mun. Maybe I'll slap on some wings and a few VTOL engines or just add rockets.
  22. Works great. Had a moment where the first stage suddenly wanted me to do a flip. Luckily the stage was 99% out of fuel so I was able to just move onto the next without issue.
  23. The first file should be decoupler1-2 and the second should be radialDecoupler1-2, I believe.
  24. Love the lander, just used it to land on the Mun. Unfortunately, our ladder development program fell behind and was unable to provide us with a suitable model for launch that could reach the capsule. I was assured the heat from the engine would not cause the fuel tanks to explode. Here\'s to hoping that Fred the Janitor is right. We\'ve just promoted Fred the Janitor to Fred the Deputy Director of Aerodynamics. Congratulations, Fred! In the excitement, Jeb refused to slow down and we missed our water landing. Suddenly a glimmer of hope for a water landing. Fred the Deputy Director of Aerodynamics says signs point to yes. Fred the Homeless guy formerly known as Fred the Deputy Director of Aerodynamics is no longer under our employ. After some rolling and a sizable amount of vomiting, the capsule comes to a stop. We rehired Fred as a Janitor and made him clean it up.
