something Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Interesting, so Kerbulus has the ability to cloak their vessels, yet they are visible in the IR spectrum when firing up their engines... Also, I am wondering what physical force is keeping those planets aligned? As they are in each others L3 points they are nominally on unstable orbits and most probably would lose alignment until they'd be in each others L4 / L5 points. As both planets did not know about that fact - and hence could prevent a misaligning process - it is likely there's a third, yet unknown, planet orbiting Kerbol on a yet undiscovered orbit. Well or simply there's no three body physics in the Kerbol system. I am excited to find out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's that one Game physics pretty much equals comic physics...best not to think too much about it. Working on the next update--really had to abuse the stunt doubles to get the reaction shots I needed. Fun fact: much of the bridge would survive a drop from Eve orbit to the surface!

Mister Dilsby Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Just an update to say there won't be an update until (probably) Tuesday, sorry. We're taking an impromptu trip to Boston and I've decided not to bring the laptop Aquarium today, Museum of Science tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Too bad No worries about the update. I'm sure we'll survive. Yay for the Aquarium and Museum. For Science! Have a great trip. Happy landings! Edited April 24, 2016 by Starhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Dilsby Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) And I'm back! Had a great time in Boston especially at the Museum of Science. Appreciate your patience, thanks for not pinging And here's five pages: So yeah, lots of reveals today. That ship is ISS DESPAIR, and you'll be seeing her it again. Jeb Kermulan is flying one of the attack planes up to meet it. It's not an SSTO, the jet part separates once it's in orbit and the craft continues as a rocket fighter. As for the Ghost... well, what more is there to tell? If you do see his ship, it's probably already too late. Meep!

Starhawk Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Wow there's a lot going on here! Wernher's knowledge of Kerbulus is quite the surprise. And he clearly knows quite a bit. It's hard to imagine Gene not sending a ship otherwise, however. Loving the ISS DESPAIR. And 'the Ghost'. Thank you Kuzzter. Happy Concerned Nervous 'Meep' landings!

Willbl3pic Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Has Kenlie told Wernher about Kerbulus? and how will Lisa tell the others about Kenlie's story? Or will she? Also, I see the frame where you dropped the set into Eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deddly Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Oooh, wow this is intreguing! The Kerbulans did mention that Wernher has developped nuclear propulsion for them but they lost him before they could make him weaponise the tehnology. Could it be that there is actually no mirror Wernher, just the one who escaped using the very technology he refused to weaponise for the Kermulans? Or has Wernher of Kerbfleet really been an imposter the whole time after having brutally murdered his counterpart, which would explain the terrible design of the Eve Atmosferikdipperkraft - a craft that was practically designed to kill its ocupants? In which case, what is his agenda, since it appears the Kerbulans don't know about him? Does he belong to one of the Kerbulan rival factions and is he using an innocent alien space programme to develop the technology he needs to get a shot at his enemies? Whatever the case, I think we're in for quite a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman979 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Gee! "Express permission!" Sounds pretty ominous, if you ask me. I wonder if you need written consent to film and distribute Mohoball games, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do see his ship, it's probably already too late. Meep! Let's speculate a bit. I'd say that we're talking about a pilot here, since his ability to fly seems to be unsurpassed. We can further assume that he's an evil twin of a character we already know. Now, Jeb, Lisa and Kenlie are already accounted for. There's Dilby and Tedus but there was this other pilot who Kuzzter mentioned a few pages back. So, what more is there to tell? That I've already forgotten his name - again! 1 hour ago, Deddly said: Or has Wernher of Kerbfleet really been an imposter the whole time after having brutally murdered his counterpart That's going a bit far, but I fully subscribe to the idea that Wernher might have some links to the Kermulans. The facial hair has to come from somewhere, doesn't it? Edited April 26, 2016 by Chemp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotius Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Its Greg...more? Greg...something. Argh, that guy is slippery as an eel! Anyways, i think Wernher is either a refugee from Kerbulus, or a descendant of a more peaceful-minded group of Kermulans who managed to escape the decadence of their homeworld and settled on Kerbin before the start of space era. Who knows (i'm looking at ya, Kuzzter ) - maybe they even helped to start space program on Kerbin, to prepare their adopted world for the horror lurking on the other side of Kerbol?
