DMSP Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Called it! I suspect they're either landing that damn thing on the surface, or rigging the Speeder things as boosters. Thank god this isn't on Tylo... I have a feeling the Kerbulans are going to strike... And soon. I love seeing this story develop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 That was another great update! I'm deeply enjoying the contrast between the lurking danger of the Kerbulans and the antics of the Kerbals. I was quite surprised to see Val's overconfidence catch her out. It appears nothing on the Qwammer broke. I hope that's the case. I know that our Kerbfleet heroes are resourceful enough to recover from this mishap. Now where exactly is the comm sat orbiting? Happy Lateral landing!

Isn't English a strange language? "hardly laughed" has a very different meaning from "laughed hard[ly]" But yeah, real life.

Foolproof. The encryption is code PIG_LATIN Ah, but all the Kerbfleet comms are already scrambled, to Bob! Somehow the expositional interferator stops any useful information from passing through, without being able to interpret the information! Where did Bob get this strange device? How does he have it but have no idea how it works? You may as well ask how a species with no scientific curiosity developed a bloaking device.

There are a few less-crazy things to try before I try that crazy thing, especially since half the engines Intrepid used to land on Pol are already down on the surface, without her 1 minute ago, Starhawk said: I was quite surprised to see Val's overconfidence Kuzzter's habit of spamming screenshots catch her him out.

Not always! I do a lot of things! For Kerbulans I can shoot a missile at them, ram them, throw a fuel tank and hit them, leave them alone and get lunch, redirect their ship to crash to a planet, throw them into the sun, go play Human Space Program with them, board them, ignore them, tell them that the only way that they're going to escape is defeating me in a dance off, steal their weapons, interrogate them, or try to nicely have a chat with them and try to agree to be nice to each other. For Kerbals I usually just say hi. Then I ask if they need MOAR fuel and MOAR snacks, and if they do I start giving them supplies and play videogames with them while I'm waiting. So Kerbals are fine. Kerbulans should probably try to stay away... Also, I blame the school WiFi. I'm at home now!

Well, as a mitigating factor, most of these were committed in order to comply, and in compliance, with the requirements of various narrative ordinances. Well, with the exception of failure to signal a gravity turn, there's just no excuse for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Dilsby Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) ...what, did anyone think I was going to come all this way and not visit Vallhenge? So, we have full science from four biomes now: Poles, Highlands, Midlands and Lowlands. Rolling downhill to the Lowlands really was a breeze, as was the hop to Vallhenge; I just kind of eyeballed it based on the longitude of the Lowlands flag and that of Intrepid, and in two burns managed to get a ballistic trajectory close enough to pick it up visually. Piece of cake There will be no update for about a week now, as I am taking the family to Washington DC for a long weekend. Yes of course we're going to the Air and Space museum, what a silly question. We're also getting a tour of the White House gardens which will be very cool. I wonder if either of the Obama kids plays KSP? Well, if i see them I'll ask! Edited October 7, 2016 by Kuzzter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSK Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Ohhh I'm greener than a kerbal right now - the Air and Space museum is awesome. I remember apologising a lot when I was there - to all the people I managed to bump into whilst trying to look at everything at once. Kid in a candy store wasn't the half of it!
