waterlubber Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 What was that space combat game with three body physics? I think Scott "Hullo" Manley did a video in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They much prefer the murderdeath and explosions as a tool - so they will never use it with the creativity needed to defeat a seasoned space program. In that split second of low Laythe orbit, their rejection of science shall betray them and their defeat of curiosity will come to bite them.

Or maybe the Dres cruiser will fast transfer to Jool and pick them up. Crew capacity and life support strain might disallow this though... Mention of Dres will now cause @max_creative and @SpaceplaneAddict to cover the thread in all caps. Mm? Dres? That's nice. Anyway, were we discussing escape plans for the Kerbfleet Jool Crew?

Idea: Problems: Take their fuel Space is international waters. So you can't leave them with no fuel. Blow them up! With what? Missiles! They only have probes and boats. Sneak in using the gumdrops and take over their ship! Space pirates! Leave behind the Intrepid and try to get to the nearest ship to get away! Val gets left behind. Land a gumdrop on Bop, then sneak away! General order 0. Someone would get left on Bop. RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!! Not completing the mission... Ok, this might be a problem. You had that old cranefly from a long time ago! Maybe he has a Dres asteroid ship that's close to Jool! All they would have to do is go EVA for about 2 years...

Deddly Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Guys, you know how sometimes the discussion on a thread gets out of hand and a moderator has to come in and ask everyone to stick to the topic? This is one of those times. Some of you have also already been asked not to bring the Dres thing in here, so please don't do that again.

That's @Nimzo Kerman and his sister standing with the inner planets. Jupiter and the others are several more tour bus lengths down the road. You can see the size of the sun in the model; the gas giants are about the size of marbles, and Earth is just a coarse grain of sand. Each planet's plaque includes that planet as well as its major moons, with orbits to scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Araym Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Better late than never: Welcome to "Kuzz jr", alias "Mini-Kuzz" (Austin Power style ), alias "Nimzo Kerman", alias "Kuzzter's son" on the forum. ... now back to the post: @Kuzzter: how will you handle the porting on KSP 1.2? Are you going to do it later, when all of your mods will be updated? (I take a look to new USI-LS balancement, and now kerbals eat a lot less... will your Intrepid be able to "communicate" to home thru the new radio network??? have you tried some tests???)

The USI mods have save-breaking changes as part of the transition to 1.2, so I do not think it is possible for him to upgrade unless he hyper-edits the Intrpeid home, recovers it, creates a new Intrepid with the same crew and resource levels, then hyper-edits it back to where it was. Probably not worth the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not worth the effort. As I noted the same for me (I think I'll keep my 1.1.3 too, just for the sake to not let AGAIN another career in half), I was just wondering... ... as an avid fan of Kuzzter's comics, I probably could not keep the idea of a LONG iatus of his creation to resolve the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
