The Kraken can lead us to do terrible things.... Yeah, kraken could be one reason I do some damage to my baby... low FPS is another... the US taxes I'm calculating right now instead of playing KSP could be yet another... blargh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max_creative Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 YAY!!!! I'm going to guess that in then next pages there will be a Kerbulus encounter and missiles. The Kenlistar sort of represents the intrepid? WAIT!!! Is the radiation spike the LV-N's on Kenlie Kerbulan's fighter?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 That is just delicious. That was so beautifully constructed that I am in awe. Very interesting look at Kerbulus' moon! I wonder what it's called? Happy Concerned Nervous Anxious Frightened landings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Mars... Actually Mars was names Mars because they thought it looked like blood and Mars/Ares is the God of war. OOO actually, maybe it's named Ares! Mars would be huge because earth is the size of jool. And @Kuzzter doesn't use RSS or anything like that so yeah. Dun dun dun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelo Kerman Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Perhaps it is Phobos or Deimos, fear and terror... And Martystu returns!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspren Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 It looks like an inverted-color Minmus. Maybe the Mun is also colored the opposite from the Kerbulan Mun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemist Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Too many craters for Minmus analog. Unless that's from weapon testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspren Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 There are some pretty cratered parts of Minmus, especially on the side opposite of the Great Flats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max_creative Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Maybe it's named sumnim? (Minmus backwards) and the other is num? (Mun) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually you can see both Kerbulan moons in that shot--look between Kerbulus and the red one Kenlie Kermulan is flying over. 57 minutes ago, Laythe Dweller said: It looks like an inverted-color Minmus. Ding ding ding! That is correct, and all credit goes to @GregroxMun once again... or should I call him @GregroxNum? The descriptions he made for the Kerbulus system are too good not to share: Quote description = Kerbulus is a unique world with rolling plains, deep blue oceans, and soaring mountains. It is the head world for the Kerbulan Empire, the most magnificent regime ever to exist. description = Num is the largest natural satellite of Kerbulus. It is as yet unconfirmed whether or not it has an evil beard. description = Nimnus is the smallest moon of Kerbulus. Its red color glows like the devil, and it probably eats babies too. If Minmus is mint pudding, then Nimnus is red hot cinnamon candy. No one likes cinnamon candy, because no one likes their tongues burnt. Of course I like red hot cinnamon candy, and other methods of getting my tongue burnt such as lamb vindaloo. But it's still pretty darn funny So it occurs to me that at some point we'll have enough pieces to release a near-complete Kerbulan 'skin' for the game. It would include Gregrox's Kerbulus system, the flag, the uniforms and beards of course. Then perhaps a skilled 'contract configurator' like @nightingale could create a system where shooting down/murdering people from rival factions (Rockomaximus, Kerlingtus, etc.) would give reputation, funds and science. Research? Pah! That's for nerds! We gain technology through tribute! For the glory of the Empire! And of course every time a crew member gets promoted, one of higher rank has a random chance to get assassinated. Hm... Yeah, I'd venture to say that would get some downloads.

Scotius Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Wow. Nice "Welcome home" greeting. "BZZTTTTT!" indeed And...is Kenlie reading the minds of every Kerbulan in range? It was evil!Lisa following the Intrepid, not evil!Kenlie. Or...maybe...Kenlie is a persistomancer on a universal scale, and he is rewriting reality as he writes his story down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RA3236 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 That Nimnus is the Minmus from Alternis Kerbol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Zoom Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 So... Nimnus is small and red and cratered, and Num is big and icy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's just Mun rotated 180 degrees so the farside becomes the nearside. But that does seem like a pretty cool idea, now that you mention it. @Kuzzter, you don't plan on showing Num up close any time soon, do you? I might be able to fashion a much more interesting Num.

If by that you mean "are you gonna use color and height PQSMods" then yes, yes I will. Nimnus's red color is PQS-powered, just like Minmus in Alternis Kerbol Rekerjiggered.

Mad Rocket Scientist Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 How about a transcript? LATER, IN THE LAB... LISA: [looking at a scree] There's that sensor glitch again, Clauselle! Big thermal spike, 200 klicks astern, then nothing! CLAUSELLE: [off-panel] Oui, Lise--but the diagnostique shows nothing wrong! AND IN HAB THREE... KENLIE: [typing on k-pad] Two hundred klicks astern of the Kenliestar Awesum, the Murderdeth scout craft fired its engine. [Kerbulan spaceship fires LV-N in background] "Why aren't they following us anymore?" the Kenlistar's robot voice tinkled pleasantly. "Because they've finally figured it out," said Martystu, pacing the deck in his special magnetic deck-pacing boots. "If we were really going to the Murderdeth homeworld, we'd have burned to intercept it be now!" "Since we haven't, the scout has to go home to its evil boss, so they can plot their next move! [background: Evil Bob pondering] Meanwhile, on the Murderdeth homeworld, that evil boss pondered... NEW PAGE [background: Kerbulan SSTO moves past Nimnus] ...another scout, the really murdery one, would be returning soon. [background: Kerbulan SSTO headed towards a desert space center] And that meant that the evil boss might finally be able to get the answer he was looking for all along: [background: Evil Bob agonizing Evil Kenlie] "Where is the Kenliestar Awesum really going?"
