The Doctor Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 What ever happen to that Kerbal and his partners in crime? Played the Demo a lot and my wife and I will always enjoy that guy. Is he retired or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrit Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I swear the intrepid trio are cursed for me; they turn up again and the launch goes horribly/explosively wrong.On the upside they do make good test pilots being indefinitely recycleable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNTGODZZ Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 yeah, once they disappear, then hey will pop back from time to time, hopefully it wont be during testing for your new designs, so they wont be killed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khyron42 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I\'ve had them for the last 5 flights. 4 of those went wrong, but in ways that left the crew alive. I guess Bill\'s gotten better at hitting that 'PANIC' button this lifetime!It\'s great when your rocket is so tall, the explosion that destroys the whole first and second stages (after it veers wildly off course and you try staging to improve handling, but forget to throttle down first) leaves half of the third stage intact.

Doctor Lag Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Oh don\'t worry, Jeb is basically a terminator. He\'ll be back.I had a weird glitch where Jeb & crew were permakilled. If they don\'t come back you may have to delete your persistence file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richy teh space man Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Jebediahs the Kerbal equivalent of South Parks Kenny.. just keeps on coming back despite numerous deaths.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreuzung Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I had a cras today, only the pod remained of my underchuted test thingy. Jeb screamed for minutes. Bill stopped first, Jeb came some seconds later. I don\'t believe in anykerbal anymore :\'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Lag Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 you sure? it took me about 50 ships before they came back around, so i think you just needed more time :/I was wrecking a LOT of ships over the course of several hours, way more than 50.In any case my persistence was definitely somehow corrupted; I was starting to get major major lag going from VAB to launchpad despite having far less debris than I\'ve seen people run with in Youtube vids, so I finally looked in my persistence file and there was no reference to Jeb & co. at all! Deleting the file brought them back within a couple of crews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samstarman5 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I like to think those three are in Mission Control watching all the noobs fail where once they did. Jeb is the Flight Command, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreuzung Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 No. They are angels. They are hanging out with the Kraken and somwtimes playing with rockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Jeb and co were in a capsule hidden away down there?Actually that would make the most sense... we\'re talking a LOT of lag (and a lot of crap probably left over from failures) on a beefy comp.But, if they were stuck on Kerbin wouldn\'t they have shown up in the persistence file?

Gargamel Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hey guys... we appreciate your appreciation for the poster boy of the game, but please remember reviving an old thread without actually adding something meaningful is said to "necro" a thread (as in necromancy). Those who follow will inevitably complain about the necro, that is called "necromoaning". We have rules against both, and as such, some posts have been removed. Seeing as this is actually a question about a gameplay mechanic that no longer exists, it is no longer relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
