nosirrbro Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 That was quite drastic, very much, although couldn't gene have just blown up the admin building, then the other majority shareholders would take over and they would still have the tracking station?

Alchemist Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Let's see: without properly functioning craft positioning and long-range communications it's up to the experienced crews to navigate the spaceships. And two most experienced pilots (and most of the crew with any experience) around Kerbin... are on the side of the original plan. And nobody will be able to give any stupid orders to the crafts on other planets. Didn't expect Gene to do something like this, but when the entire planet goes down, such sacrifices in the name of saving as many as possible may be justified. The question is how much will they be able to make out of this. And those corporations... When the ship goes down, the rats are the first ones to... chew holes in their own lifeboat.

GDJ Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Okay, make KSC blind, deaf and dumb, Val get the console prefix codes and the "rebels" do something in Duna. KSC gets stripped of any orbiting equipment and cannot interfere. Drastic, but logical. ps. Nice flying Parkaboy.

Definitely expected to use the SSTO to get the rest of the loyal crew off the planet. Maybe they have another one in reserve somewhere Expand Unfortunately that particular ship was designed to be a Laythe SSTO, not a Kerbin SSTO. I haven't actually tried to reach LKO with it, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have enough delta-v, although a more skilled pilot than me might get it pretty close to orbit. But when I tested it on Laythe (using hyperedit), however, I found it really hard to land in one piece, since it doesn't have enough lift to land softly and at a slow speed.
