smjjames Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Why are you putting chutes onto the quadhammer when it isn't even going to be landing on an atmosphered moon? Unless of course you mean landing on Kerbin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefrums Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I was wondering that as well. It sound simpler just to send up Gliido to get the crew. Do we see a test of some emergency rescue equipment to be used when if jeb crashes Skimmeroo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starhawk Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 The process of orbiting the [REDACTED] will, I expect, be somewhat entertaining. I'm sure the propulsion system will be epic no matter what. To misquote Clauselle "Go big or you will not go anywhere!". Every part of the mission requires solving seven intractable problems before breakfast. Anyway, I'm quite looking forward to the interlude, now. Happy Concerned landings!

Hopefully there were plenty of sick bags on the ship this time. And before anyone comments on those contracts--yes, I already recovered the ship, so yes, I know We'll deal with that hilarity in the next update! 3 hours ago, Starhawk said: The process of orbiting the [REDACTED] will, I expect, be somewhat entertaining. I'm thinking it might not be too bad, but we'll see. One thing's for sure, it will be able to carry a LOT of fuel. I can fill up all the bays with decouplable orange tanks like I did with the Agenda, then ditch them before I send up the landers. It's designed so that it pretty much lifts with nothing but cargo bays, fuel and engines. Hmm, sort of like this: ...that's HMS Dreadnought, 1906, riding VERY high in the water before getting a superstructure, guns, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An add-on package would be an ideal item to carry in a nook or cranny somewhere on the [REDACTED]. I must admit, I'm a bit curious about the final part count. I sure hope you don't have a Whackjob-style meltdown with the Kerbfleet system! Happy Concerned landings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You linked that website! There goes an hour of my day. Since it's the weekend, I'll 'helpfully' paste the Tropes section from the Canon thread: Armor-Piercing Question: Deeman Kerman asked a lot of these during the trial in Eve: Order Zero, such as this one to Tedus. Brick Joke: Jeb escaped custody just to complete one of these. Counter-Earth: Kerbulus is most likely a 'counter-Kerbin' based on several clues given in Eve: Order Zero Crowning Moment of Awesome: The author does try his best to provide these with some frequency. Hoping for reader feedback on the best examples for some of the main characters. Mildly Military: Seeing as Kerbals have no concept of war or violence, Kerbfleet is definitely this. No One Gets Left Behind: The entire basis of Eve: Order Zero "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Val telling Mort 'the truth' at Bill and Jeb's court-martial.

Well all right (though my understanding was that they had also failed to include double magazine locks in the turrets), just as long as if it happens Admiral Shirley can turn to her flag captin and say, "There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today!"

Kobymaru Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hey Kuzter, when your craft tipped over after splashing down, ehy didn't it explode? That always happens to me. Or maybe it used to happen before 1.0.5, I haven't had a long ship splash down in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deddly Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 @Kobymaru 1.0.5 included a water overhaul. Water is now safe for your craft to plunge into without resorting to magical air-intake flotation devices. For the same reason, Kuzzter is able to make a flying boat that can both take off from and land on water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemist Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Also parachutes - they still were active while craft was tipping over. The biggest problem with splashing long rockets has often been chutes cutting off too early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
