Excuse me @Kuzzter, how long are the kss intrepid and the kss enterprise? Oh, KSP forums. Two separate derails about launching things that shouldn't fly in as many days. Also, I'd estimate ~15 Mk 2 fuselages for the Enterprise. Edited August 3, 2016 by 0111narwhalz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh. Going back to my recent Moho mission (in my mission report) my giant mothership did not have enough thrust to get off of Moho unless I launched with 10% fuel... I had a very hard time getting to orbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AviosAdku Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Ok, this is a bit off but I just noticed something about the Kerbulans. In chapter 10, page 2 the remarks by Kurt & Melgee actually make sense, in fact it seems perfectly rational (if a little odd but it's just nitpicking each other's grammar).

Maybe space madness actually makes Kerbulans saner. I mean, Kerbulans are all slightly crazy anyhoo, so they certainly can't get any worse...

something Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Given the fact that the Kerbulans rely on solar energy to power their vessels, it is pretty easy to defeat them. I mean, those panels are pretty fragile. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0111narwhalz Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Just now, something said: They drain fuel, which is limited... Only rather slowly, considering that they use EC primarily for reaction wheels. I don't think any of them are ion, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
something Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Yet that limits the maneuverability of the Kerbulans, while the Intreprid is not limited and can tranfser forth and back until it's over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few people have mentioned that and I appreciate it, though I try not to talk about rep because, well, you know... *kicks pebble with toe* Now, thought I'd mention before anyone asked (since we all know that I don't like it when anyone asks!) that I've gotten very, very busy so won't see a significant update before at least Monday. I may or may not be able to post an insignificant or semi-significant update this afternoon, we'll see how it goes And no, this has nothing to do with Pokémon.

Mister Dilsby Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Annnnnnd we're back... Very cool lifting off Pol and seeing the shadows of the spiky rocks on the ground--almost makes up for not having scatter turned on when I landed. Also loved seeing that alignment of the inner planets. Not sure where Kerbin and Kerbulus are in that shot, possibly in front of/behind the sun. Should be a quick trip down and up with Jeb, Bob and Jeb's "lucky" socks, and then off to the next moon. Bop isn't in a good spot right now so I might go to Vall first. We'll see!

Deddly Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Poor Kenlie, he never wins at cheks. That shot over the ground scatter was spectacular, by the way, as were the facial expressions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AviosAdku Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 He he he, well it looks like Jeb hasn't changed a bit. Come to think of it, it's been ages since he flew with Bob (Eve rescue takeoff if I remember). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceplaneAddict Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Jeb and Bob is a really well done comedy combo, great update tpday Kuzzter! somebody help me they've got me trapped and i'm forced to- *mmmmmmph!* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not against Nimzo, no, but then again there are very few Kerbals who would. After a couple of years of lessons (in between his shipboard duties and writing about murdery murderers) Kenlie is probably playing at a Class B amateur level: strong enough to mop up the board against any 'social' player and maybe sneak a win at a local tournament, but still nowhere near Master rank. 14 hours ago, AkuAerospace said: He he he, well it looks like Jeb hasn't changed a bit. Come to think of it, it's been ages since he flew with Bob (Eve rescue takeoff if I remember). I think you're right--and before that, he didn't fly with Bob at all, since Lisa was the science officer on the Duna mission. I'm going from memory here, but I think the only time we see them together (chronologically) before the Eve rescue is in the flashbacks to Dilsby's and Val's Kerbahashi Maru test simulations. 14 hours ago, SpaceplaneAddict said: Jeb and Bob is a really well done comedy combo, great update tpday Kuzzter! Thanks! And as Aku pointed out, it's not one I've explored much. But as two of the four Original Orangesuits they must have flown together in the early days of the Program, before their adventures were recorded in comic form. Hmm, could those experiences have anything to do with Bob's current attitude, i.e. his frequent raising of "concerns"? Maybe!

If Kuzzter is doing it, we know it will be better than Superman vs Batman, but that is setting the bar so, so very low. He'd need to find a Wonder Woman space suit for Valentina to really make it pop, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
