Two more story days that is.. Next week I should be able to post another chapter if all goes well. 28 minutes ago, Angel-125 said: Me thinks Kerny is gonna get a talking to when this is all over. Hehehe, Yeah. I have been doing a lot of thinking about how I want to handle Kerny and Maxbas' relationship. He has no idea what's in store for him and what's even funnier, is he thinks she understands what he did and why and there's something good waiting for their return. Yeah, Kerny, let's see how you like what's about to get you! 30 minutes ago, Angel-125 said: And just think about what could happen if the buoy is recovered by those loyal to Rayven... The fear of Rayven getting hold of it is the very reason Gene ordered a shuttle launch so quick. And what's more, if you've been keeping up with the details, the shuttle's senior pilot is hanging out with Dr. Angelo. If you remember, they were told to adjust their course. So the STS Tsoolik is a pilot/crewmember short! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting this week, I am planning to try and post a chapter a week. I know I have been saying that for a while, but this past spring semester, I have cut back on the number of classes I am teaching. Less time grading means more time to KSP! On 6/2/2019 at 3:54 AM, RealKerbal3x said: I’ve told you before...don’t pester the writers Actually, I am probably one of the few that's not too bothered by being "pestered." It does two things for me - Keeps me motivated to keep writing. Shows me I actually have a fan base that likes what I am doing. So, within reason, it's ok to poke this ol' man on occasion. Just don't make it too frequent. 16 hours ago, Kerballing (Got Dunked On) said: And I've told you as well--always pester the editors if you can't pester the author! @Salmon?

Reminds me of this: https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php/Interceptor Hmmm, I've never seen that one before. I was basing it off this Lockheed Martin Corporation produced B-58 "Hustler" bomber. I just used a smaller fuselage and made it into a sporty fighter instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are a few things I do: MODS: Those literally provide you a lot of cockpits suitable for combat style craft. The other thing I do is look at real-world aircraft designs. Because of the nature of KSP and the fact I love aviation, this works well. On my roster are aircraft that are based on prototypes ranging from the mid-1940s to today. A great source for inspiration are these sites: https://www.militaryfactory.com/ https://military.wikia.org/wiki/List_of_experimental_aircraft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_military_aircraft_of_the_United_States Just work as close as you can to get the appearance and then tweak it until you get the performance you want.

adsii1970 Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Hey, folks, I haven't forgotten about you at all. I have all the images I need for the next chapter and am working on the outline now. The summer was busier than I expected it to be. I did have surgery on my left shoulder and left hand. I am happy to announce I have regained about 85% of the sensation back in my hand. My doctor has told me that as the swelling continues to go down, I might gain even more sensation back. I also ended up teaching two more classes this summer than what I expected. One of the universities I teach for online had an adjunct quit two weeks into the term. So, I was asked/voluntold that I would pick up the two classes. The extra money was nice but it meant I literally had no free time. So, now with the fall semester just started, I'm beginning to have a little more free time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
