Oh right--is that still inoperative? 

It's may not be that big of a deal for now. Unless you plan on undocking anything anytime soon, Anything that is docked currently, should, in theory, remain docked.
In the mean time, a fix should come soon...

Well that's good; Qwammer and Skimmeroo are the only craft that use multiport and I shouldn't need to take them out until Jool. If I have to, Bill can always over-stiffen ports as appropriate to compensate. (Remember, it's not cheating if you can call shenanigans on the GM!)

I'm afraid so.  It was the very first thing I tested after I downloaded 1.1.2.

But the SQUAD staff need a vacation. so I guess it'll have to wait.  Maybe Intrepid can still hold on to all the boats with a single port each.
But I have concerns.

Happy landings!

OK, don't panic, all's well I think...

Strange thing is that all those parts (Part of Planetary Base Systems) appear to be where they should be in the Gamedata folder, but they don't show up in the VAB. No more time today but will continue to debug.

In other news, the performance is SMOKING for craft that did come over OK, like Micarooni Station!

Will be very excited to get this solved and back to regular programming!

And yes, there might be typos in there, but 'Misster' isn't one of them :) 

I didn't see any typos.  I thought 'Misster' was obvious (and clever).

Wow, talk about Lisa going above and beyond to defend Kenlie.  I do so wonder exactly what is in her thoughts right now.

Happy Concerned landings!

Scientists are good at inventing, even if it's just inventing excuses for strange occurrences.

And sometimes randomly invented excuse is really more believable than sloppily explained poorly understood truth.

Maybe Lisa is really going to research Kenlie phenomenon.

We've seen the Kerbs fabricate stories before, like the whole "let's go rescue people from Eve" production, so I don't believe that Lisa's lie is a sign of corruption... but maybe it could be. The Eve production was predicated by the desire to rescue a friend, and involved not telling the whole truth and following the letters of an order, but not the meaning (get that ship off the pad). The motive for this lie is either to protect a friend, or to buy time to help her process the issue more, maybe both. Either way, it looks like Lisa is starting to head down a dark path.

That's weird, I just upgraded and the Planetary Base parts worked just fine for me...

Not showing in the VAB? Check file access rights - the folder may have accidentally been flagged wrong.

You know, on Windows7 and newer, if you just drop KSP in a wrong place without changing the security settings and run it without admin rights - it may result in no parts showing in the VAB at all

I see what you did there...

:) Meant the balloon pointer to go to Dilsby tho--he'd been quiet for a couple of pages :)

All the other PB parts work, as do the Life Support parts. I think it may have to do do with the folder structure: PBS parts to support USI-LS are in a sub-subfolder, which as @Alchemist notes may have odd permissions or some such. I expect to have it all sorted out in short order. :)

I think it's clear from the latest pages that Lisa read Kenlie's story and immediately put 2 and 2 together. She was, after all, the one Kenlie talked to about looking at planets. My opinion is that she understands what is happening and is protecting Kenlie.

At least she understands that he somehow knew (or at least strongly suspected) of the unknown planet and its location. And that he is trying to protect their ship from the threat he writes about, meaning that he actually believes what he writes...

So, I think, she does what scientists do when they discover such a correlation - she probably wants to investigate where this information comes from, how reliable it is, and how much of what's written is exactly from the source (and how much is just fiction filling blanks in fragmentary data or just Martystu fantasy). No need to announce the discovery until you can estimate its reliability.

I noticed that it behaves differently moving the folder or copying it (one of which you're bound to do if you want to safeguard it from being overwritten by steam). When moving it you should be fine I think, but if you copy it to somewhere else under program files you probably have to reapply permissions. Save files end up somewhere in a folder under your user folder if you don't have permissions set, but I'm not entirely sure that folder can handle mods and their configs too.

Bonus points for not running your regular account(s) under admin permissions.

Oh this is so nice. Well, after you took most of the kerbalish stupid fun out of the story (just for me) with the introduction of the romulans this scene with lisa is just wonderful.

 

Aaaaaaw. Now I wonder what she thinks. Is she going to support kenlie? What is she up to. hmmmm.

So Lisa knows about the Kenliestar Awesum, and is actively covering up the fact hat Kenlie launched the transmitter away... this should mean thatlisa also agrees witxh Kenlies motives.... which.... means.... *gasp* LISA UNDERSTANDS MURDER AND INTENTIONAL KILLING?!

This is all theory though...

So... Lisa said she was making a sciency thing, but instead, she set an intentional fire to pretend she broke it, covering up the fact that Kenlie did it and she knows that because she read the comic. When the stuff goes out the airlock of the Kenliestar, in the his story the Kenliestar Awesum is the intrepid, so she understands that he did it to protect them from the Kerbulans!
