GDJ Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 If you have the mod, I would go for Asclepius. Good gravity, plenty of water, some flying space for planes (albeit almost all the atmosphere is in the canyons) and you can put the rocket launchers on the high ground where there is barely any air (no drag, save on fuel), and the planet's orbit is just between Kerbin and Duna.WIN, WIN, WIN.

Noname117 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Yeah, that would be awesome.Like a rouge planet arriving in the system and being colonized.Or a planet from an alternate timeline... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDJ Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Or a planet from an alternate timeline...That could work.As for my Asclepius, I put it in a Kerbin orbit at the extreme edge of Kerbin's SOI (80,000,000 m ASL. Kerbin's SOI is just around 82,000,000 m). Makes for a neat visual at night when you have the Mun, Minmus, and Asclepius in the same sky.

Elowiny Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I just love the Kerbals poses. Especially the last one.As for the kerbal's new home, I suggest the third rock from the star named Sol. I'm pretty sure it's not inhabited.

Mister Dilsby Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Wow! So are you using animation suite for Gene also? I haven't installed it yet, as I don't need it for the interlude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wx7 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Wow! So are you using animation suite for Gene also?

I haven't installed it yet, as I don't need it for the interlude.Nope, the Gene stuff is from one of the promo videos. I used the animation only for Jeb's poses!Edit: Ninja'd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjjames Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Good thing he was wearing his helmet. Also PORTAL!Theres another thing to worry about though, when Kerbin blows up, Mun and Minmus will no longer be in it's gravitational pull and will be free to roam on their own orbits. N-body-ception! Will be interesting to see how you deal with that little fact.I know you say you don't use mods, but it would be a fun idea if the portal led to another system entirely rather than just Minmus.

FlyingPete Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Now, if the rest of kerbalkind can make use of that trick, and set up some bases, problem solved! Looks like the cost of sending equipment to Minmus was just reduced to a reusable, battery-powered truck. Even Mortimer will be happy.

FyunchClick Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Wormhole monoliths? Awesome! Almost makes me wish someone'd mod that.So, is this a one time thing or did they just discover a way to evacuate lots of people from Kerbin for free?

I think I'll save the Deus Ex Monolith for special occasions only. Which means Jeb will have to walk back or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Rocket Scientist Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 If he brings home an EVA report or surface sample, they'll believe him! Unless he forgets to, which would be very Jeb.You know, an EVA report is just what a kerbal thinks in a location. Pretty easy to fake: "Looking at the cosmos around me, I wonder if one day kerbalkind will see all of them up close and mine them for strange new snacks."

What do you perceive as the main differences between our versions? I'd like to know if I'm managing to get his character across as I intended...

I'd like to know if I'm managing to get his character across as I intended...Well, as I see it both are brash, but I think yours is a bit more self-aware (monolith conversation), and where Kuzzters has a bit of a control issue yours is more of an adrenalin junky. Of course, the tone of both story lines is quite different, and I'd expect the Jeb from a bleaker Kuniverse to be a bit more reflective.
