  2. ...oh my...no. No. I will not think of that. No.
  3. Oh wow, that sounds awesome! The money aspect in Career mode only feels like a limit on how fancy of a rocket you can build, so having to handle cash with more care and with more oversight definitely looks good in my eye.
  4. Have no fear, Momo, we're all very nice here. A great place to learn about advanced gameplay tricks and skills would probably have to be the Gameplay Questions and Tutorials forum, where members can learn from others and ask questions of their own. Also, if you're in the mood for tutorials, YouTube user Scott Manley has some outstanding videos that cover a wide variety of spaceflight aspects. I hope you enjoy it here!
  5. Actually, quite a bit. Thomas P. posted an image showing a solely-KopernicusTech StarSystems port. Shortly after, one of the developers got his hands on the code and reports everything is looking really good. Currently it is confirmed we are able to change the size of stars, but not colors, so hopefully more features will be given in the future. Of course, this StarSystems fix has not been integrated into the core KopernicusTech mod, so I am still waiting for that to be released. Here is the Kopernicus thread and the KopernicusTech thread, if you're curious for further reading.
  6. Two of my pictures made it in! Honored to be part of such a beautiful video.
  7. Oh! Oh! I love that guy! He is one of the best KSP'ers out there, even though he uploads videos pretty rarely.
  8. Huh, never knew there was one! Guess I'm in the same boat as Starwhip.
  9. CG_Kerbin is right, that is awesome! Great work!
  10. Hey, welcome to the forums! I hope you enjoy it here. SSTOs are very difficult. I mean, really difficult! I myself have built only two designs of SSTOs that actually can get int orbit, and one that could even get back to Kerbin. Some tips for making money? One technique I've been using is to keep the price of your rocket less than what you will gain the contract you are trying to accomplish. Of course, this isn't always easy, so think outside of the box for your designs! Career mode definitely forces me to use totally different parts and building techniques I would otherwise never use in Sandbox. It's a shame Kethane is no longer supported. Why must the best mods end so abruptly? Anyways, a very good alternative I have heard is Karbonite by RoverDude. As a matter of fact, Karbonite, or a variant of it, will be made stock in the next update! Welcome!
  11. Although I don't play KSP too too often, I prefer sandbox. Career still doesn't feel totally complete, which is one reason why I'm not sure if 1.0 is the right decision. KSP is just one of those games that just doesn't feel right to me when limits are put onto it. Otherwise you could just install a ton of mods.
  12. When did you last see this navigation page? I don't ever remember there being such a thing here, and I have been around for quite a while now.
  13. Oh man, my heart is actually beginning to race! I'M JUST SO EXCITED!
  14. One time I found a brown dwarf so dim it looked like a gas giant, which I thought it was until I looked at the system browser! The brown dwarf also has its own dwarf planets and even a mini asteroid belt consisting of only a handful of asteroids (no more than ten!). All of these dwarf planets and asteroids had an orbital period of at most four days, so the system was extremely small. Also, because of this smallness, everything was hot. The dwarf planets were all over 3000 degrees Fahrenheit, one peaking at around 5000 degrees, and all of the asteroids actually melting.
  15. 'Ey! You're online! Really, I'm so pumped for a KT StarSystems remake. I want to go interstellar with KSPI!
  16. Y'know, now that the OP has mentioned it, I suppose having to start your gravity turn really early could be really fun! Climbing up and doing nothing for a while is really unrealistic and quite the boring gameplay experience.
  17. Boom, right on the money! Gotta have it look good, right?
  18. Dres is a very small potato. It was the first potato considered to be a potato. Its orbit is hilariously irregular and, together with its smell, it took a long time to discover since half the time it was not where kindergartners expected to find a foodstuff. Due to its nature of frequenting the bad parts of space. This dwarf planet was officially labeled as Not to be eaten by the scientific community. EDIT: Ninja'd!
  19. IKR?! I'm so sad we will not get a stock Delta-V readout, too. C'mon, that's all I needed to start going interplanetary!
  20. Mmmmmeuuuuughhh... ...not really that good, to be honest. I'm not a good aircraft-builder in the first place, so usually I need SAS to keep my planes from flipping and flopping all over the place.
