At the beginning of the series (all the way back in D,OB!), form was second to function, judging by some of the older designs. Ah, the inevitable toll of the public spectacle on any well-run exploratory organization! There is always a dichotomy between being good and looking good.

Well,the difference here of course is that I'm modeling a craft from a sci-fi show that didn't pay any attention to real-world physics at all. Comes to mind that the amount of work required to make a sci-fi replica craft actually fly in KSP might be a pretty good indicator of how "hard" the source material is.

Dman979 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Just now, Kuzzter said: You callin' my ships ugly? Nope, just calling them functional above all else. I'd never call your ugly ships ugly, at least, not to your ugly avatar's face.

There's a reason they call it "Science-fiction." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 This Interlude was originally going to be a lot shorter and a lot simpler, but then I watched Season 1 of Glee again with the kids. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimate Steve Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 @Kuzzter Oh, okay. I do know that song. I just happen to have a hard time picking out what song it is from just parody lyrics. Now to go re-read the new pages with the song playing in the background! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with the show... Glee was my ex's favorite... And yeah, the song was easy, actually.... but I grew up on Journey...

SpaceplaneAddict Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Shirley we all Shirley knew Shirley had a chance (gosh darn I'm done with life) This interlude is like a recap of the Kerbfleet comics, right?

Deddly Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 It's a nice touch that Leonard's eyebrows are visible from behind. An enjoyable interlude, and a good tribute to the spirit of exploration that drives us to discover the unknown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cydonian Monk Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I knew what the song was from the start (I _may_ have seen Journey perform live a few too many times when I was young), but for some reason my brain wouldn't connect up until I played it on the ol iPod. Instead it kept trying to attach it to either Sk8er Boi or one of several different Simon & Garfunkle songs..... Think I need more coffee. Well done interlude.
