  1. Perhaps a little bluer? But still, looks awesome ^^ On second thoughts, perhaps some chocolate chips? It would really give minmus the whole "pudding" moon look
  2. Much better! IMO it adds a lot to the characteristics of the planet to just see minor clouds like that.
  3. It IS pointing directly at it, but I still only get around 160MW :S
  4. Because Titan has such thick atmosphere, much of the light that hits it directly reflects producing a shine at the closest part facing sol. Most other bodies (such as venus) with extremely thick atmospheres show this.
  5. xD A high up layer, perhaps? I would of suggested a shine like Titan has, however I doubt that is possible.
  6. What about some dark grey clouds? At least something to stand out, otherwise the planet looks rather featureless from orbit
  7. Although the atmosphere colour for laythe is great, I do think it should have some nice grey clouds around the equator.
  8. At that point, you want efficiency over thrust so the Plasma thruster. Is there any way to get more power transmission from my orbital microwave station? It produces 3GW but my craft is only receiving, from only a few kilometres away, about 160MW.
  9. I think either Minmus or eve. Both are pretty unique and pretty.
  10. On the subject of Microwave transmitters, is there a maximum output the transmitters can beam? I have a station at 100km orbit with 3 1-Gigawatt reactors on it, but any ship with a receiver can only pick up about 180MJ at maximum.
  11. I am sending a probe into deep space, outside Kerbols "SOI", and to do it I am using a gravity slingshot from jool. It only takes me about 3km/s of Dv to get an encounter and it flings me right out of the kerbol system, which would normally take MUCH more.
  12. IMO, the new tanks/rockets are fine, they should just be a little further down the tech tree. Another node after "massive rockets" would be cool.
  13. Photons don't have any REST mass, however they do have relativistic mass. If you are throwing out energy, you can still generate thrust (just very little, since mass is an awful lot of energy). A Giant laser would work, however it would (very slowly) use up the filament or whatever you are using, and unless you give several exawatts of power to it, you won't be going anywhere soon.
  14. Could it be possible for device, with self destruct, just make a very large explosion instead of simply making all connected parts explode? (wait, that is what happens, right?)
  15. Two methods (I think?) Land something on the ground with a siesmic detector and turn on "recording". Then, smash a probe into the ground at high speed and it should detect it... OR, just have a small probe with two siesmic detectors on, both with recording on, and smash that into the ground. Its a little OP though, 500 science from the mun and minmus without even needed to send it back to base or have control over the probe
  16. Okay! Thanks, I completely forgot about radiation output going up by the forth power >.>
  17. Either i don't understand the heat system or its broken for me: According to the cooling information panel in the VAB, my cooling fins can dispel 1.3GW of waste heat from my 2x500MW reactors, but when I actually it and extend the cooling fins, My waste heat still goes up. Why?
  18. LOTS OF FUEL AND NEWCLEARAIR ENGINES!!!1 My plan is to send a reasonable size ship with fairly efficient engines into LKO, Dock some more fuel tanks onto it, then send it off to grab a Class D Asteroid. Bring the Asteroid into LKO Again, then let it go and refuel the asteroid collector. Send it off again, bring another Class D Asteroid into LKO, within a few hundred meters of the previous asteroid. Repeat 3 more times. Send up a large fuel tank with two grabbing claws on it, grab the first asteroid and rendezvous with another. Link with the next asteroid. Repeat this for the other 3 asteroid, until you have an asteroid pentagon ring thing. Dock a bunch of random science, habitat and life support stuff to it. Boom, Asteroid Space Station.
  19. Its the difference between "not very bright" and "super bright" from when you look away from kerbol, then towards it, not the actual brightness itself. But hey, realistic pain is the best feature ever
  20. Does the mod not reinforce docking clamps? My ship http://i.imgur.com/DHESp4l.jpg?1?6024 , when turning or accelerating, wobbles like hell. This is likely because of the smaller center, but is this Fixable?
