Starhawk Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 That was beautiful!! I kept wondering how that Gumdrop was going to come into play. Also, nice double deception with the suit and the fighter. Klawing Evil Jeb was a totally badass move, too. Dilsby is definitely kicking some Kerbulan butt. Thanks once again @Mister Dilsby! Happy landings!

Deddly Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Well, well, well. I had thought up a sneaky plan I was quite sure Dilsby was going to put in action. It didn't turn out quite as I expected. It turned out better. Because if course it did. Kuzzter Dils @Mister Dilsbyis a great storyteller and I'm not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Dilsby Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 Thank you both! I have had the advantage of thinking about this for a few years. I'm happy I got away with it, and also happy I don't have to keep so many unconnected objects in close orbit any more. If you squint you can just barely see the edge of the Gumdrop Dilsby picked up peeking out behind his Kerbulan fighter in the last panel posted on 10 March. Of course, hiding that docked Gumdrop is exactly why Dilsby is thrusting in the ventral direction towards Evil Jeb and not following the standard convention for orienting a ship engaged in space combat.

Angelo Kerman Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Awesome! And a little confused.. Is Mr. Dilsby now in Jeb's fighter and Jeb's fighter is docked to the Gumdrop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilsby is now in Jeb’s fighter, and Jeb’s fighter is docked to the Gumdrop—which was originally docked to Dilsby’s fighter, and… oh right I forgot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chosen One? Not so sure. Also I'm old enough to remember watching Episode IV in the theater, so the prequels and sequels can HEYOOO my sweet WATCH IT NOW!!

Deddly Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I am a little nervous that Evil Bob appears to be able to bypass the turbolift lockout. But I wonder of he has peaceful intentions? If Kerbals have demonstrated that they are capable of violence, who is to say that Kerbulans are not capable of peacefully working out their differences?

Well, truth be told I may be taking a little shortcut. We're getting close to whatever the end is, and frankly it's just more efficient if the main people who need to talk next can do it in the same room. Especially when getting visual effects right can mean an hour of flying people around in jetpacks, dealing with helmet bugs, and trying to orient bridge sets sunny-side up for better lighting etc., for just a couple of panels. If there's any concern about continuity etc., well I did hang a lampshade with the thread title. I was considering having Evil Bob throw even more snark than his "abusing crew transfers" comment by pointing out that the "turbolifts" are just part-clipped lander cans, and why couldn't he just transfer into a docked landing craft? Well if he could do that, why did the boarding parties have to burn through bulkheads etc. to get aboard? I'm certainly not going to explain it! This is why the author's crew compartment is as well-stocked with lampshades as KSP craft are with flags and EVA propellant. 9 hours ago, Deddly said: If Kerbals have demonstrated that they are capable of violence, who is to say that Kerbulans are not capable of peacefully working out their differences? Who's to say? A couple of thoughts from a similarly mirrored situation: (1) It is far easier for civilized [kerbs] to behave like barbarians than it is for barbarians to behave like civilized [kerbs], BUT, (2) ruthlessly evil or not, it is possible to be a "[kerb] of integrity" in more than one universe.

Starhawk Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 I've been out of the loop for a little bit. Thanks for the pages, @Mister Dilsby! It is deeply satisfying to see 'Evil' Bob coming to talk to Kerbfleet. It just seems so right somehow. Happy landings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
