    I'm playtesting some KCT config options which make it use your idle scientists to do the research, and engineers for construction in case you're interested.

    I'm interested! Granted, I don't play with the dev build, which means I haven't played with KCT ever since 1.1.3... but yes, please share them when they're complete!

     

    Back on topic, I'm also one that thinks it adds adds a lot to the game. I also use Monthly Budgets, I think they work very well together.

     I am sorry for the deeply because I have a lot of work in my office

    Don't worry. For a forum about a computer game, this place does have a lot of grown-ups chronologically-impaired people! :) 

  3. Moving thread to the Gamplay Help sub-forum, since it's about flying in the game rather than real-life science and spaceflight.

    First, if you have no reaction wheels, then you need RCS. Otherwise, the only source of control in your ship will be gimbaled engines (if you have those), and they only work during powered flight. Notice that pods and some probe cores have integrated reaction wheels, so you don't need extra parts if you're using one of those (only the Probe Sphere has no reaction wheel, I think? Maybe the thinner ones, too).

    Second, if you have pink markers off center, that means you are applying trim to the ship: press alt+x to remove it. Trim is like a constant nudge in one direction, like an off-center control. It helps flying airplanes, since you usually have to keep the nose a little up.

    Third, welcome to the forum, @Has4312!

    Geek time: I recognized the design as from the Alien franchise right away, but something was off...

    Turns out this is from the Sulaco (second movie), which is clear from the red and grey design as opposed to Nostromo's white, but the logo on top (inside the grey rectangle) is from the first movie's "Weyland" Corp, not the sequel's "Weyland-Yutani" :huh:

    In any case, you may want to add a spring mechanism to return it to its original position. For the "click", I'm picturing a smaller spring that gets pulled with the lever, but is released back to its original position before the lever finishes its movement. I can't explain it better, but it's like the trigger mechanism inside one of these:

    Just saw the ISS consciously for the first time, and then twice in a row. Was pretty amazing.

    I've shown it to a cousin once in a rural area, at around 4am. The thing passed directly overhead, and brighter than Venus! I've managed to see two consecutive passes too, once, near the Eastern horizon, the the Western one hour and a half later. So nice :)

    am i the only one that has noticed the dead guy?

    Lol no, we were just discussing him. I didn't notice him at the time the pic was taken, tho.

    Incidentally, I think today I've eaten the most shrimp I've ever eaten in my life. And it's so hot right now I can't move :confused:

    Back to my home town tomorrow :( No more beach, but, damn, I miss my dogs (and actually posting from a computer, too)

    it needs a Saturn V to get up from Earth.

    Which they don't show!!! I mean, sure the black hole was gorgeous, but we had seen it on trailers already. I wanted so badly to watch an awesome Nolan launch of an awesome CGI rocket, and nothing! :mad:

    For me, it's the feel.  They got the feel of space right -- it's not like being submerged in water or like anything we're familiar with.  It's alien.  And that alien nature is what will kill you if you don't watch out

    So they did! I watched it on one of the biggest screens in town (tho, sadly, not IMAX), sitting close to it, and it was a gorgeous experience
