DarkOwl57 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 AH HA! So the damage looks like it took off the right wing, the right RAPIER mount, but the Mainsail and the deck looks (relatively) unharmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for my "they might still be OK" theory... Kerbulans are mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whirligig Girl Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) I found Kerbin's and Kerbulus' weird little brother. It's called Kassini, and it's inhabited by the Kassinans. They're just plain old weirdos. They worship the color bread. They have orange/blue morality. They drink literal hydrazine. Their space program insists upon sending its ships in orbits that are 90 degrees inclined to the other planets, just because they see Kerbin and Kerbulus doing it. (With their continents) They walk backwards sometimes because they think it makes them cool. They 'randomly' scream out curse words in reverse latin. They have up to fifty arms depending on their social status. Their music entirely consists of We Are Number One But remixes. They launch their space program from a savanna. It's hidden in a pocket of hammerspace at the Kerbin-Sun L3 point, which the Kassinians put there themselves on a dare. (Just because I built Kerbulus doesn't mean this is canon, don't take it as such unless you're Kuzzter and have some use for it somehow, in which case PM me but I really don't expect that to happen) Edited February 5, 2017 by GregroxMun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deddly Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I love it how smoothly the Enterprise crew works together. You can tell they've been working together for a long time, and the admiral is surely the bravest and most confident command officer we have seen up until now. Let's hope the Enterprise isn't completely crippled by the loss of a nacelle. I'm confident they'll be able to hold her together - it looks to me like the Enterprise has the strongest armour of any vessel we've seen thus far.

DarkOwl57 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 There could be multiple scenarios for this to happen. 1: The crew could do, as @KAL 9000 said, 16 minutes ago, KAL 9000 said: They can always do repairs (HyperEdit up a new nacelle and KAS it on) 2: The crew gets ferried off the ship, taken back to the surface, and then gets on the Enterprise II (™) which can go wherever. 3: A time-lapse where repair crews went to the ship and KAS'd the thing back together 4: The loss of a nacelle isn't a big issue and they can still go wherever or 5: The crew's stranded and forced to stay on the ship forevah muahahahahahaha!!!

They can deorbit with their EVA jetpacks. They'll be fine as long as they land on their heads. Or, you know, do it the boring way and install the EVA Parachutes mod.

Guest Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Hey, glad to see everyone so engaged and thanks to the very observant @Deddly for fielding some questions! I'm just very, very busy right now but should be able to get back to work on the comic day after tomorrow, with pages appearing in due course after that. As always, your patience and (topical) posts are appreciated muchly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhetaan Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 The thing that I would like to know, and which I am surprised fewer people are asking, is just how @Kuzzter was planning on getting the Enterprise back down after the big battle given it survives intact. The Gliidos can land; we've seen that (even with crazy sci-fi theatrics courtesy of Kenlie and a bad action group). The regulations say that flag officers get a space-worthy ship--so far, no one has said anything about a reentry-worthy or landing-worthy ship. The crew and Admiral Shirley aren't stupid, and even though evacuations are possible, it would appear that the Enterprise itself was never going to be able to go back to Kerbin in one piece (hence the Admiral having a space-worthy vessel that until now never actually went to space), which opens the way both for the crew's willingness to use the Enterprise as a sort of meat shield (though less meat and more actual metal shield), and to set up a curious inversion of the trope in which the Admiral gloriously goes up with her ship.

Deddly Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Interesting point, @Zhetaan. I had assumed that Enterprise would be capable of a sea landing, but that remains to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had assumed that Enterprise would be capable of a sea landing, but that remains to be seen. Hmmmm... this is a good question, and not easily answered. Even Star Trek canon gets a little... fuzzy... on the subject of landing the Enterprise. I don't think she was supposed to be able to land originally, and most often appeared like she would burn up in any decent atmosphere. But later down the road, especially in the "Into Darkness" movie, not only was she landed, she was hiding underwater... and took off again into orbit like it was no problem. I'm thinking this is another one of those "Whatever @Kuzzter decides to do" kind of situations... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
