"W" makes the kerbal turn around and walk away, and "S" just makes her walk backwards. But I know I used to be able to do it because that's what I did for the shot of Tedus walking away from the crashed Dipperkraft. Did something change? I don't know if anyone has said this yet, but press "alt." It stops it, last time I checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceplaneAddict Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 A: That picture with the one Kerb holding the chips, so derpularly beautiful! B: Are Kerbulans really THAT far from the thought of non violent customs? Or is that ture only because the opposite seems true for Kerbfleet?

AviosAdku Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Oof! it seems K. Kermulan hasn't progressed in his writing like K. Kerman. Wait a second ... Kenlie hiding this from the others isn't helping one bit. Characters who never were told about what happened are being seen by K. Kermulan. This seems to indicate his "know about what is going on and they can see you" theory isn't true, the Kenlies' perspective simply follows whatever events being depicted, it just happens that with K. Kerman all the Kerbulans involved became aware of the events as they entered the story. As a result, his hiding the full situation from the others isn't helping one bit, it doesn't seem to protect them and even worse, they are going to be unprepared for what comes, Nice Job Breaking it, Hero. I've been suspecting this for a while, I think this supports my theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Dilsby Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) 3 hours ago, something said: Nukular? Gotta be a Simpsons reference, if I am not mistaken. Nope, not intentionally Simpsons, it's just a common way a lot of Americans (but not your Author) pronounce the word 'nuclear'. Quote Still wondering why the Kerbulan Empire uses army ranks instead of naval ranks? Do they? Kerbulans have Commanders, Sub-Commanders, Centurions, Legates and Sub-Legates. This "mirrors" Romulan ranks to some extent, which in turn echoes Roman ranks...so yeah that's why. Ask the Romulan Navy why they did it that way. 1 hour ago, SpaceplaneAddict said: B: Are Kerbulans really THAT far from the thought of non violent customs? Or is that ture only because the opposite seems true for Kerbfleet? Well, Kenlie Kermulan can't quite seem to grasp it... though someone with a little more "intelligence" might.

Characters who never were told about what happened are being seen by K. Kermulan. This seems to indicate his "know about what is going on and they can see you" theory isn't true, Well, maybe not. First off, exactly one person on each side not named Kenlie has read a Kenlie story. Coincidentally (or not) both of these non-Kenlie people wear blue uniforms. Second, the Kenlies have always been able to see all the mirror characters, it's getting into their points-of-view that doesn't happen. This could explain how Kenlie Kermulan gets things so very wrong in his story about Samantha's mission; it's in a third person perspective, and so his understanding is limited to how he interprets what he sees and hears. We've seen Kenlie Kermulan POV in a Kenlie Kerman story before, which you may recall drove our poor Kenlie a little nuts. We haven't seen any stories yet that take advantage of the other connections, but maybe we will Edited August 30, 2016 by Kuzzter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSK Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Nice interlude! I laughed out loud at "If only we were not hopelessly and inexplicably stranded in this crew compartment." Sums up those contracts very well! 8 hours ago, something said: Still wondering why the Kerbulan Empire uses army ranks instead of naval ranks? I know Kuzzter's already answered this one but I kinda figured it was a throwback to Kerbulan psychology. If you're not killing the enemy up close and personal then you're no kind of warrior. And since no Kerbulan would ever admit (or be allowed to admit) to being anything less than a warrior, all their armed forces use infantry ranks. To misquote Heinlein, "We let the flykerbs and water-rats come along to hand us the saw. We do the work." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes a great deal of sense to me, and writing a story where Jeb's rank is "Centurion" does indeed help me push the militarism dial to 11... that moment where he pulled a knife on Bob comes to mind. 7 hours ago, KSK said: To misquote Heinlein, "We let the flykerbs and water-rats come along to hand us the saw.

Starhawk Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I am once again in the outer reaches of the system. I found a local commsat and had a chance to read the interlude. Beautiful work, as usual. So much fun and several lol's. Gotta love that Duna bar. Nervous landings! (I don't know how to select text with the tablet).

And, progressing: Spoiler Val is ordering a nice tight 15km equatorial orbit around Tylo to make things as easy as possible for the Quammer to get down and up. This will require a burn of over 800 m/s at periapsis, which of course means we need that much again to escape Tylo and transfer to the next moon. Good thing there's over 5 km/s in the tanks, because Tylo is not the sort of place I expect to leave with more fuel than we started! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketSquid Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Does Kenlie's story betray a kerbulan weakness for snacks? If so, would that mean that the kerbals... Hold all the bargaining chips?

I don`t remember exactly the specs of the Quadhammer (), but now as your happy crew is encountering Tylo i am gonna cross my fingers for them... you could go deeper like errrm 12... maybe 10 () km but it depends on your inclination... there is a deep valley around which can get really ugly if one of the vessels doesn`t fit through while orbiting that low... I don`t know but when i was once hanging around there i felt quite... lucky . Orbiting that low around Tylo makes timewarp a pain in the [redacted]... Okay, good luck and for science! No scratches!

something Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Seeing all those teasers, I am wondering when @Kuzzter goes to the big screen ... wouldn't be much of a change: Instead of 25 images per chapter you publish 25 per second (PAL FTW) and that's it. ...

I'd wear out my F1 key!

something Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 So here's the face off between the Interprid and the Kerbulans: "Give us the construction plans of your satellites and we will give you chocolate."
