Mister Dilsby Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) Hey friends! Welcome back to what is, at this moment THE most viewed AND most-replied thread in the history of Mission Reports! Thanks so much for all those eyeballs (yum!)

Starhawk Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) I love the way you worked that science report into the story. On the wheel blowout front, my experience seems to indicate that blowouts are much less common in 1.2. It's a good thing Bill can edit the persistence file. His job might be at risk otherwise. Happy landings! Edited November 3, 2016 by Starhawk Oh. And congratulations on your milestones! These threads deserve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StupidAndy Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 My idea (i can have an opinion yay!): the kerbulan ship that recently blew up's debris fell down from the skies (is it still called the sky if there isn't an atmosphere?) and crashed into the surface of bop, making it feel like a big explosion to bop due to it being a massive cloud of debris constantly raining down for 5 minutes(?) and (compleatly theoretical) bop's material made it "ring" for a quite a bit of time like one of the Apollo missions porpusely crashed their landing module into the surface of the moon and it kept ringing for about a hour, maybe bop is like that, but SUPERSOMETHINGIZED! this has been a completely and utterly stupid comment on bop by StupidAndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman979 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 And I am right. We're going to the Kraken, or at least where it's located. It may or may not have landed, and it may or may not be alive, because of some... pointy rocket-propelled sticks fired at it. Bop goes the Kraken! (Sung to the tune of Pop goes the Weasel) All around each moon of Jool Suspense just isn't lack'n I want an Odyssey ending that's cool Bop goes the Kraken! We're running out of ore in this spot The ISRU is frackin' All the engineers' nerves are quite shot Bop goes the Kraken! Jeb and Kenlie and Nimzo and Val Their cooking skills are lack'n' In a contrast quite sharp with Clauselle Bop goes the Kraken! I don't want to wait very long Kuzzter the next page is make'n' And we've reached the end of this song Bop goes the Kraken! I know I reached a little on a few of the rhymes, but you know how many words actually rhyme with "kraken?" None! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I wasn't going to have Kerbfleet go there at all, I liked leaving it in mystery. But then when I saw the text in some of the science reports from the surface, I decided (especially after that precipitous departure from Vall) that there were just too many clues for Our Heroes to ignore.

Angelo Kerman Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Is it just me, or does the snikt sound made when the rover docks with the claw sound similar to the sound made by Wolverine's claws....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

something Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) The seismometer in KSP is sort of an accelerometer. Its output is an acceleration rather than a movement or amplitude of some sort... Due to the way Jeb was driving the readings they took can't go beyond a SNR of 0.5...which means Kerbals have some serious noise cancellation algorithms.

Mister Dilsby Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 1 minute ago, something said: [something] Hey, here's a fun experiment. First, get in a nice fast jet. Don't forget your accelerometer! Measure the Gs you endure when it takes off, lands and banks. Have someone monitor your breathing rate and blood pressure. Wheee! Thrilling! Next, sit backwards on a go-kart and do the same while an expert driver with the impulse control of a twelve-year-old takes you airborne over wildly uneven terrain in a misguided attempt to find out exactly what that kart can and cannot do. If, after experiment #2, you have not accidentally swallowed the accelerometer and/or had some sort of nervous breakdown, then by all means come back here and post about how Nimzo should have reacted.

The title can be positively identified as a reference to Star Wars, where the first proton torpedo launched at the Death Star 1 misses the exhaust port and "just impacted the surface" instead of going down the hole to the handwavium reactor core and setting off a massive explosion and the denouncement of the movie. In the comic, it appears to correspond to both Nimzo and the supposedly unknown (many of us have ideas by now) object impacting the surface of Bop. The other guy in the rover (I forgot Sarge or Jeb) uses this phrasing to refer to the second event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
