TotallyNotHuman Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 @Kuzzter I am speechless. This... this is so awesome no words can describe it. I'd imagine you'd have to steer clear of the occasional Kraken every once in a while, so godspeed to you, sir! *clink* I'm just hoping the wing-Kraken from D,OB doesn't make a comeback in another form... dun dun DUN!!!

Thanks! 2615t on the pad, 506 parts, 1.6M kerbucks. No, I have not seen an actual ceremony. Very interesting that the crew sprints aboard--we do it the opposite way in Kerbfleet, of course. Jeb and Melbe were actually running off the pad, towards the SPH and out of the blast zone 15 minutes ago, TotallyNotHuman_ said: @Kuzzter I am speechless.

Thank you! Wow, the wing-kraken! That seems a long time ago. Well, like the Admiral said, we don't know what waits for them in Jool SOI, but if the kraken does strike--or the space beet--at least we have three engineers aboard to spam F5!

Knowing him, he's probably suffering from severe cardiac arrest. Well, maybe that wasn't the only available bottle of 'Valve Click-O" bubblyzine available. He most likely started in on that stuff right after Wernher gave him the 3MM figure 2 hours ago, Geschosskopf said: So the group shot was stunt doubles while the actual crew for the actual launch was already aboard? Ermmmm... no, not exactly. The five crew you see on the bridge are the only ones on Intrepid at present. Jeb and Melbe are running to the Skimmeroo because they'll launch in that and join Intrepid in orbit. The rest will come up in the other landers and support craft. I thought about making a mobile gantry for Val and the others to get onto the bridge, but then said "You know, enough is enough," shot the rest of the scenes, recovered everyone, rolled out again and T Z spacebar. 41 minutes ago, CommanderSpock said: "Oh myyy..."

Angelo Kerman Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'm guessing a retrofit with panels with IVA controls would be a bit late at this point? Cuz I figured out how to read the props and make static parts out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZentroCatson Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 This is so [REDACTED] cool! The intrepid looks amazing, you did a great job! What wonders me is that the launchpad didn't explode under those mammoth engines. Good luck on your journey and don't let the Kraken bite!

I've been trying to design a system where you can create pressurized compartments, and the crew will wear IVA suits inside, but I have the disadvantage of having next to no modding skills.

Never too late, as long as the new panels are the same part as the old But if not, no worry--we have something to look forward to for the next ship! 3 hours ago, RocketSquid said: Nice!

Don't tell anyone, but I sort of cheated to make a "pressurized" compartment. There's a value in the Texture Replacer config file @Default.cfg to let you change the minimum pressure at which kerbs can wear their IVA suits. I just set mine to zero: // Minimum air pressure required for Kerbals to wear their IVA suits on EVA. atmSuitPressure = 0 So yes, they could certainly jump out a hatch in their IVA suits and float in vacuum happily... I just won't do that 1 hour ago, Commander Zoom said: By pure coincidence (or not?), the theme for Star Trek: First Contact started playing in my shuffle just as I opened this thread. Awesome. The background music here was the "metal" version of the KSP theme and a selection of Irish jigs that Kuzz Jr. had on shuffle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Dilsby Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Bwahahaaaa! Continuing... Yes! Took about forty minutes of real time. There's 2800 dV left in the tanks and I even have a few tons of oxidant left over to run the vernor RCS system. Now we'll get all the life support systems spooled up and prep the hangar deck--Skimmeroo is next.
