Deddly Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I think these two will be the saviours of Kerbin. When the Kerbulans come with their murderous warrior bloodlust in order to destroy everything that is good and innocent, enter Billy-Bobby and Dongun Kerman, who have spent years in quiet isolation meditating on and developing an intimate knowledge of Tai-cheese.

I was an engineer 3 careers ago, Then a lawyer (Ihey, we all make mistakes), then a truckdriver (another mistake, don't we get 2 like in baseball?), and now a firefighter (next best thing to Nirvana). Before all that, I was a Sergeant of Marines (actually Nirvana). In all these careers, the people best able to do basic math were the Marines (to figure out how to drop mortars or artillery on a given ponit) and the firefighters (to figure out how many RPMs they needed to run the firetruck's engine at to produce the amount of gallons per minute required to extinguish V amount of fire at the end of W length of X diameter hose with Y type of nozzle at Z amount of elevation change). All in real time with bullets and/or flames flying and people at risk. EDIT: And I forgot to add, although the Marines and firefighters are totally insane, I agree with your point, although most non-fire-engine engineers are not all that insane, relatively speaking.

I don't won't use Mechjeb. I consider this a piloting game, and I like to pilot--even if it means crashing sometimes while I take pictures. Youcanuseitifyouwanttoitsnotcheatingbutitisbutlet'snotdiscussthatonthisthreadOK? Awesome chapters as always, Kuzz... ... and by the way, to take screenshots while playing: ever tried Automated Screenshots? It's a GREAT tool that allow you to time screenshots in series, to take them during flight (it has an automated "no HUD" ability), with additional option for more screenshots during a crash-landing and save them in any directory you'll like in your pc (no more only "screenshot" one inside KSP) with tons of additional infos in the name file (I save them with real date and hour, the KSP date and hour, infos on biomes, altitude and status of vehicle, and other tons of infos that help me to build later the continuity of the time in my story, days after the actual image collecting)... ... with the bonus to take automatic "quicksaves", if you also like to play safe again game crashes, if you activate the other option (only downside is that them will take to the KSC, and not to the ship you were flying - WARNING for atmospherical ones: GO FAST on tracking station to resume them) Edited January 5, 2016 by Araym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running toward a lethal thing is usually the best way to make it nonlethal Anyway, that was hilarious. I hope you can juggle the thrust so it flies more or less straight on the way home.

I hope you can juggle the thrust so it flies more or less straight on the way home. It sure wasn't straight on the way up--I had a 73 degree offset! But Minmus forgives much. I managed to get enough altitude in the initial burn so that I could fire for orbit in short bursts, re-aligning in between. I'll re-arrange the ships before burning for LKO: there's an axial port on the lab which will mate with the front shielded port of the hauler. Lining it up that way will make it quite controllable. I will have to refuel before coming home, thogh. Fortunately there's still LF aboard the (confirmed abandoned) Minmus Outbound station, and also a Class-A rock in orbit I can mine.

Starhawk Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 That really was fun. Yarely done, I must say. The Space Madness is a wonderfully creepy bit of colour in the story. And the insane dialogue was excellent! Thanks, Kuzzter. Happy Creeped out landings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketSquid Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Not-kozzator: Since "For science!" is no longer relevant, and "For funds!" doesn't work, how about you make "For cheese!" the new kerbfleet catchphrase.

r_rolo1 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Hum, the plot is getting somewhat cheesy, Kuzzter And they should't talking about mint icecream, given they were stuck on Minmus?

Starhawk Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 You know, they may have Space Madness, but they aren't totally deranged. They still knew the contents of General Order 0, even if wasn't part of the regs when they left. And they still had the wherewithal to know what had to be done and do it without any direction from anywhere else. Even while being mad and spouting gibberish. Kerbfleet through and through!

Mad Rocket Scientist Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Skipping the earlier pages' transcripts. SURFACE... Melgee: Closing bay doors! Kurt: And flipping lab! *Lab begins to roll over on top of Nizmo and Lisa* Nizmo: Uh oh. Lisa: Don't just there, Nizmo-run! Lisa: Ahh! *KRRASH* *Lab flips over, landing on Nizmo* Nizmo: Ow! Sarge: Incoming vessel! Kenlie: What the- New page: *Ship is landing* Melbe: Oh, it's one 'a them pre-Kranefly asteroid haulers! They got retired 'cause the exhaust impinges the rock! Clauselle: Qu'est-ce que... are they landing? Dongun: Cheese in sight! Claw deployed! Billy-Bobby: We are home-going all the cheese! Nizmo: Are they doing... what I think they're doing? Lisa: Sure looks like it. Nizmo: Should we run again? Lisa: Ehhn. Why bother? New page: *Hauler-C is hovering over minmus* Billy-Bobby: Hold still cheese, not moving be! Melgee?: Who is cheese? Kurt?: We is cheese! And also Kurt! Melgee: And Not-Kurt! Billy-Bobby: Long cheese to get also? Dongun: Don't be silly, Billy-Bobby-that's a baguette! [I get it, I get it -MRS] And everyone knows bread can fly all by itself! *SNIKT* *Hauler-C pocks up minmus lab* Billy-Bobby All cheese are belong to us! Dongun: Yes! Burning for orbit! Kurt: On behalf on my colleague, who is Not-Kurt and also Melgee, thank you! Melgee: Goodbye Lisa! And Not-Lisa! And other Not-Lisas! New page: *Hauler-C in orbit with cheese Minmus lab* Gene: Well. That happened. Werner: Ja, it sure did... Werner: ...und as we continue to interact with them, Herr Flightdirektor, they will gradually become less insane. We will guide them back to Kerbin orbit, and home. With much therapy, eventually they may be able to lead nearly normal lives. But they will neve truly be free of... SPACE MADNESS!!
