Andem Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Seriously, the fourth wall is already mostly duct tape and spare hab canvas, any more breaches and Bob & Bill won't be able to science the mulch out of it anymoar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
problemecium Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 If the fourth wall breaks, does that mean we humans can march in and toss the Kerbulans about like nine-pins? Or would that be a bad idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With their superhuman resistance to sooo many forms of damage, endless supplies of fresh recruits, and air and spacecraft that outperform anything we've ever built in every imaginable way, I'd wonder if we wouldn't be the ones that get thrashed.

SpaceplaneAddict Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Breaking people is Kerbulans' specialty! So there's no doubt that Kenlie Kermulan is being broken atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather keep that door shut thank you. Well, you forget - they do not have nukes. Within a matter of minutes mankind would have destroyed Kerbulus. As for the story development, I am somewhat confused: If every person knowing about the link is added to that link - then the thoughts of the persons known about would transfer through that link and as they're known by a subject of the link, they would be transferred back, thus creating an infinite loop. Now, that means the information contained in that link is trapped forever and hence transferred forth and back forever. That makes it impossible to distinguish new thoughts from old thoughts, unless they come with a time stamp. As we never heard about such a timestamp I am curious - how is information prevented from leaping forth and back again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketSquid Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Speaking of cheese, can somebody get me some cheese whiz? I've been using it to check for leaks in the fourth wall, and I ran out. Also, I might need some steel beams. I'm not sure it can take much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But humans have the god-like power to peer into the KSP universe from our own plane of existence and bombard everything in the KSP universe with and infinite supply of Whack-a-Kerbal bombs, without fear of retaliation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Dilsby Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'll likely tweak the encounter off-camera to get the Intrepid where I want her: smart thing to do might be to aim for a braking assist at Tylo and visit one of the outer moons first to top off fuel tanks. You never know when you might have to leave in a hurry, n'est-ce pas? Next up will be a very special Zwischenspiel starring everyone's favorite rocket scientist, Wernher von Kerman. I have a few custom builds and textures to make before I can start on it, but I assure you all it will be worth the wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Right on. Kenlie is going to learn strategy! I hope, in the end, he doesn't sacrifice too much. And Bill was too quick to dismiss Bob's theory. Poor Bob. Happy Concerned landings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep--especially since Bill knows better than anyone that Bob's theory was absolutely correct! It's just that the rules of the universe have changed in the last ten minutes.

Angelo Kerman Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Quote Teach me everything! So, does this mean Kenlie is becoming Dr. Strange? Pretty cool to see the great disturbance in the persistence.

You never know when you might have to leave in a hurry, n'est-ce pas? Tylo is evil. Maybe go for a Laythe slingshot before using Tylo to push yourself to Pol/Bop? Or, if the Intrepid is capable, a direct Jool Aerobrake is actually plausible. *Determination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyNotHuman Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) @SpaceplaneAddict A Jool aerobreak - ahem, aerobrake may not be feasible for the Intrepid. I'm not sure if it's just me or if it's part of 1.1, but aerobraking at Jool in 1.1 seems to be a LOT hotter than in 1.0.5.

The Jool Aerobrake scenario in 1.1 shows the ship comin in from Kerbin, it goes all the way down to 165ish hundred thousand km, and I only heally saw minor heat warnings.

Mister Dilsby Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Well, regarding a Jool aerobrake for Intrepid, that's a big NOPE! There's plenty in the tanks, so there's no way Val would risk 12 lives and the mission like that. Now, firing a Jooldipper from standoff distance...well, it's supposed to die in Jool's atmosphere, and there's a spare. It might just be the scientifically responsible thing to to!
