Starhawk Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Very fun interchanges between Fleet guy and Samantha! I can't wait to see what you have in store for them. Knowing how much you waste panels on dead-end character development so often, I imagine that you'll just shelve them indefinitely now. And I would never take those odds. Hmmm, I just looked at the first little bit of Eve: Order Zero again. Perhaps I should reconsider. Like I should talk, me and my backwards Clamp-o-tron Seniors. Intrepid rocks! Kerbfleet forever!

Deddly Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Absolutely love it, Kuzzter. I'm so glad you saw the comedy value with that fleet guy, and you played it very well! That reminds me... what ever happened to Markers Guy? Edited March 4, 2016 by Deddly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the spirit of Marker Guy <shameless plug> shall live on </shameless plug>, echoing endlessly through the Kerbalverse. I have to tell you and Kuzz Jr. that the original Marker Guy joke was one of my favourite early moments from the Kerbfleet tales. I still hold a great fondness for Marker Guy because of that.

Scotius Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 It's a nuclear submarine thing. Because they go on months-long patrols, SSBN's have two crews - Gold and Blue. While one is on patrol, second is resting or training. When ship comes back, crews switch and next patrol can begin almost immediately. Thats how things were during Cold War anyway - to minimalise the period when a submarine was stuck in the port, exposed to eventual attack without chance of retaliation.

Chemp Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Quote Chapter 6pg20-- or, pg22 if you opted in on Steem! I'm almost afraid to ask, but what's the reason for this difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deddly Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) @Chemp, it's a very funny reference to the prerelease version of KSP 1.1 that will soon be available for users to test, but only if they have the Steam version (See announcements for more details).

Chemp Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Oh, thanks! How did I miss that? My mind had already conjured up the dreadful image of steam users getting moar-Kuzzter-comic. I was planning to have a serious talk with Clauselle about what happened to liberté, égalité, fraternité. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could have put Intrepid and Micarooni Station in the same physics bubble without blowing up the universe, I could have had a station-keeper on EVA do a flip as she went by Things are going well and we're nearing Minmus orbit, but problem with the PBI science lab--it has just over 100 points of experiments loaded (with an advertised capacity of 500) and it's saying I can't load any more. Will dig into the configs a little and maybe ask on the mod thread, but any deep insight appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberté exploded while at anchor at Toulon in 1911. The others were scrapped at the end of normal service lives (unless you're thinking of their earlier namesakes, some of which were wrecked or lost in action).

Now that explains why there's so much injustice and lack of freedom in the world. It's all the French's fault, blowing up and scrapping the fundaments of universal rights. I'll have to ask Deeman Kerman to hold Causelle responsible and get her to make it up to Kerbality. Just because. Maybe she even gets the Kerbulans to see the Kerbals as their equals and brothers...

The explosive charges were badly degraded, which is why the Kerbals don't have any concept of violence- no need to worry about the Intrepid blowing up! However, if you would like to get out of charges of mutiny, piracy, or a parking ticket, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Dilsby Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 and on we go... So yeah, the thrust angle thing: I didn't want to get into a long explanation but for some reason the readout disappeared from KER. This made it difficult to balance the ship (you may have noticed Intrepid is not exactly symmetric) so I had to run RCS to hold course for some of the burns. The "K&K rep" did reply to me but he doesn't know what's going on, so I'll try to sort it out in the configs myself, and if I can't I'll just let Bill "help" the Science team with the data Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I love the use of Fizzbin! That [OH MY!]ing cargo bay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Excellent beginning to the voyage. I love seeing the orbits and encounters on the screen at the front of the bridge. The landing at Minmus should be interesting. Thanks Kuzzter! Happy Concerned Gentle landings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman979 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 There may not be any weapons in Kerbfleet, but I don't want to find out what happens when Sarge's censors take a break! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakalth Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 The readout of KER going out happened to me on my Descapade mission. More then once... Something about large craft makes it hard for KER to update the readout so it defaults to blank? I got it back by bringing up the main menu, going back to the ship, bringing up the main menu again, going back to the ship. Did that between 2 and 3 times and it would come back online. Not sure why it helped, but it did. Try that if it does it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noname117 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 That big grin on Sarge's face in the last panel just makes it so much better. Look at how happy he is swearing at the probes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boccelounge Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Just keep in mind: Fizzbin is "a man's game, but a little beyond you. It requires intelligence." Which sounds just about perfect for Kerbals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
