If I were making one at home (and later i might) it would be, 3/5 measure gin (preferably something with a good clean taste like New Kamsterdam or Khendrik's... maybe not Kanqueray, which I think would compete with the other ingredients) 1/5 measure dry vermouth (none of this super-pretentious "call somebody in France and ask them to hold the bottle up to the phone" junk. It's in the recipe for a reason.) 1/5 measure Midori, for green color Shake with ice (Methane ice if you can get it, H2O if you can't) and strain. Garnish with, what else, a sprig of mint. Obey all local laws and ordinances, and be sure to choose a designated pilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did see a potential violation of the Forum Guidelines I hope you would report it, whether it's in one of my posts or someone else's. I do my best to follow those guidelines and keep the rest of the thread clean as well. Here's the section on Forbidden Content, available any time by clicking "guidelines" in the page header: Quote 2.2 Forbidden content Messages which contain, discuss or link to the following are explicitly forbidden: [snip] c. Adult content, such as nudity, sexually suggestive or explicit images, gore and drugs; I don't believe that Rule 2.2c is meant to prohibit the mention of legal alcoholic beverages, consumed by adults in a responsible fashion. Long-time readers will note that while this (and many other threads) make reference to kerbals consuming "hydrazine" or another beverage with similar effects, Kerbfleet always models responsible behavior. Nobody, but NOBODY stands a watch or pilots a craft under the influence! But as for after the flight--well, we need look no further than NASA and the US Navy. If you visit USS Intrepid you can see on display a prescription for 'medicinal' whiskey, written by the ship's surgeon for recovered astronaut Gus Grissom.

Standard canteens. They were filled inside the ship so have its pressure, and just plug into a drinking tube in the gas mask helmet. With only a slight taste of mustard gas Minmus dust that accumulated in the end of the tube. I've had many drinks light that. Sadly, just desalinated sea water, not booze, but the system is tried and true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Dilsby Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 1 minute ago, Mad Rocket Scientist said: Err... I don't get it. Sorry! That's OK, that's kind of a second-level way to tell them apart. I wouldn't expect a reader to have a crew roster and branch-of service reference in front of them. But if they did--only engineers wear red uniforms and speak with red speech balloons. There are three engineers aboard Intrepid: two are boy kerbs (Bill and Nimzo) and one is Clauselle. But like I said (and have said before) it's bad practice to expect everyone to remember that kind of thing no matter how famous the comic gets, that's why I had Clauselle say something French. But since that's also an English word (sort of) I can understand the confusion, and if even the Official Transcriptizer of Kerbfleet missed it, it's a good note that I need to be a bit clearer.

Oh, I see! I actually remembered the character, but not the name. That is, I knew this was the French girl engineer with red speech balloons, and remembered some of what had happened to her before, but not the name. That's just because I'm bad with names, everywhere. Oh, and I recognized that that was the French version of the word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Dilsby Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 I probably won't use these images in the comic because it interrupts the flow of where i want to go next, but I thought they looked pretty good so here they are anyway--unpacking the rover so Sarge can drive Melbe out to collect some Science! Because there isn't head room for the driver, we have to drop it from the forward ramp uncrewed... ..Sarge hops into the seat as it rolls down the ramp... he's in! "Offer you a ride, ma'am?" And away they go! Mining's going well. Planning to shift back to Kerbin for a bit while we refuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried that the other day with a rover on Duna (for headroom reasons as well), and it promptly started rolling (slowly at first) down the slight incline I'd parked my ship on. Slowly at first in this case means slightly faster than running speed when I got my closest kerbal almost close enough to jump on. I tried to jetpack him close enough enter the command seat from the air, but that just got me a ragdolled kerbal and that rover ended up strewn around the valley about a click from where I had landed (as they tend to do on Duna with me for some reason).

I hear you. This was the first rover drop before F9: Somehow the docking port jr. on the rover exploded due to a 0.3m/s "collision" with the ramp. I think this was because I was still in the process of cycling POVs to take the picture. I lingered too long on Jeb (who is indeed still out on the flats a few hundred meters from the ship, doing ice angels or something). Also I landed too close to the old mine base so when I [ or ] I often go through there as well. Anyway, F5 early and often, especially with this many parts in physics range!

Mister Dilsby Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Meanwhile, back at... So yeah, it's time to do a little orbital cleanup while Intrepid refuels. Besides the "Minmus Four" (Kurt, Melgee (aka Not-Kurt), Dongun and Billy-Bobby) there's also the crew of Dwagonfly, the pilot I left aboard Kranefly, and a gaggle of scientists and pilots from the various decommissioned moon bases who have all congregated at Micarooni Station. Since we're running life support now I'll need to bring all those kerbs back to the surface except for the "lighthouse keepers" at Micarooni. Gregmore's mission will install food, recycling and greenhouses to keep them supplied. Kranefly and Dwagonfly will be de-orbited, and I'm working on a new high-endurance mining cruiser class to replace them. And then... we'll see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
