[0.22] Extraplanetary Launchpads Legacy Thread
Commissioner Tadpole replied to skykooler's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
Oh my, you are the God of Kerbal Space Program. And here am I, barely able to send a probe to THE MUN. -
[0.22] Extraplanetary Launchpads Legacy Thread
Commissioner Tadpole replied to skykooler's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
Words alone are not enough to describe how IMPOSSIBLE is it to send those launch pads to the Mun. -
Thanks to this offer, I finally can say I own KSP.

[0.22] Extraplanetary Launchpads Legacy Thread
Commissioner Tadpole replied to skykooler's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
I meant place them on another planet/moon. So I just build a rocket normally, but instead of placing a command pod, I place those launch pads? I think I got it. -
[0.22] Extraplanetary Launchpads Legacy Thread
Commissioner Tadpole replied to skykooler's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
Mind putting up a tutorial on how to plant those extraplanetary launch pads? I don't seem to know how. -
Three things. One: More pictures. I hate when mods have little to no pictures. (On this case you've only got two/three and I like to have at least seven.) Two: Is it compatible with the Clouds and Cities mod? (It doesn't actually add cities, it adds in city lights once you're far enough from Kerbin to make it look like it has cities.) Three: How will slower computers handle this mod? Other than that, good work!

Then it would be POLU.

I sent another rocket to the Mün(it's the only thing you can do in the demo). Everything went fine, but when the rocket was about to land, it twirled and spinned madly. Eventually the engine popped out and one of the landing legs disattached, rendering Jeb stuck.

I just had my first Kerbin-Mün-Kerbin shot today. A couple of days ago, with the help of some users in the IRC channel, I built a rocket that's able to get to the Mün, and sent it there, alongside the famous Jebediah Kerman. He stood in Mün landscape for a pretty long time, and today I sent him back to Kerbin. It was a close call, he had just enough fuel for the trip. Any more fuel wasted and he would not make it back. Here's a pretty screenshot I got as he returned to Kerbin:

But what if they crash in another celestial body?
-
More heavy rocket fail compilations! (You only get one picture tho) What happened here was basically the rocket trying to lift off but failing to do so due to it's massive weight, and after a moment of it's SRBs struggling, it collapsed to the side, again due to it's weight, and resulted in the explosion you are seeing above.

Oh, that sucks.

Looks promising.

Nice job with the flags! I only have the demo version right now, but I'd like to guarantee my flag for when I get the full version. Obviously being flag shaped, I'd like it's background to be the starry outer space, with Kerbin just a bit offset towards southwest and Eve just behind Kerbin(though still looking like it's normal size - slightly bigger than Kerbin) a tad offset towards northeast. Don't make their offsets too close, though. I want for Eve to still be considerably visible and not have most of it occulted by Kerbin. Then, there should be an orange line that goes through the middle of the flag, but doesn't necessarily starts at one edge and ends at the opposing edge. Just a few centimeters of distance between it's edges, sort of like the KSP flag. Above the orange line should be written the acronym "N.K.F.A." in purple, and below the line will be written "National Kerbin Federation of Planets" in blue.

The Kraken's Doom (CHP 6 DONE, CHP 7 WIP)
Commissioner Tadpole replied to NASAFanboy's topic in KSP Fan Works
Oh god...Duna is next...time's almost up! It's going to reach Minmus soon, and before we know it, Kerbin will be breakfast! Or dinner... All panic aside, I can't wait until Chapter 7 is released! Great job writing! -
Left to Die: Stranded in Space (CHP 4 DONE, CHP 5 WIP)
Commissioner Tadpole replied to NASAFanboy's topic in KSP Fan Works
I loved it! But...what happened to Bob Kerman? Also, why can't they restart life on Laythe? Sure, it's not similar to Kerbin, especially due to the fact that it orbits a Gas Giant for God's sake, but it's got an oxygen atmosphere, and it'd probably trap the radiation(if there's any) from Jool in it's outer atmosphere, keeping the inner atmospheres safer. Of course, there's the temperature and cryovolcanism issue, among other factors, but they'll have infinite oxygen supplies, unlike Duna and Eve. Speaking about Eve, are there any Kerbals in Eve right now? Or Moho...? Or any other planet for that matter? -
You Will Not Go To Space Today - Post your fails here!
Commissioner Tadpole replied to Mastodon's topic in KSP1 Discussion
I had several failed attempts. Here are three of them: -
Haha, actually the rocket tumbled over to the side due to it's extreme weight.
-
How much do you care about Kerbals dying?
Commissioner Tadpole replied to zapman987's topic in KSP1 Discussion
I see what you did there, even though I don't watch Star Trek. -
This is what happened when I removed all but three of the boosters in the lower part of the rocket and tried to perform a liftoff: When the rocket is launching, it is solely relying on boosters. Afterwards, by the time it reaches ~7,000m, I'll have to try to make the rocket cope with the loss of thrust by shoving the thurst bar all the way to the top until the rocket stops falling. By the time I can stabilize the rocket's thrust, it is alterady around ~14,000m, and I still have to gradually decrease the thrust for me to be able to slowly move my rocket east and then jam it all the way.
