KSK Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Gene: "Hold my beer and watch this!" Which went about as well as such things normally do. Right now I'm imagining a Looney Tunes style spacecraft powered by Mort chasing Gene on a treadmill and shouting at him. Great chapter and good choice of names for the kids! Edit: On a more serious note, I did like having a Grand Tour mission be the result of a drunken bet! It's very kerbal somehow and a neat way of linking the two parts of that last chapter.

Speeding Mullet Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I just sat down and read through this whole story so far, great detox from a day at the office! Will enjoy keeping up with the latest. That's one hell of a contract you just picked up, best luck with that!!! SM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemist Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 If I recall correctly, this kind of contract is tracked by each command module. Which means detachable capsule and separate (multistage, if necessary) replaceable hardware for different parts of the mission is allowed. Still, Eve being on the list freaks me out a bit.

Easy come... easy go.... oh well. 6 hours ago, KSK said: Gene: "Hold my beer and watch this!" Which went about as well as such things normally do.

It will probably look something from the old "Whacky Races" or something Marvin the Martian might make... yeah..... For the record, the game provided the names. I just waited for a couple that seemed to fit. And yeah.... I figured a drunken bet was a fun way to get Gene to accept a bet he would NEVER have done otherwise. And the children's arrival provided the perfect excuse for a party. Now someone just has to lock the bottom left drawer of Gene's desk... and throw the key into the ocean! 4 hours ago, Alchemist said: If I recall correctly, this kind of contract is tracked by each command module.

Being able to make a smaller landing shuttle would help a lot, but I'm still a little scared. This insane contract... Oh, BTW... Thanks DEV team for including this loony-tune contract in the game! Anyway, it has not only Eve, but Tylo as well... I hate that rock... lol. I like to think I'm good at this game, but I'm a bit worried I may have raised the bar a bit high this time. No big deal... I like a challenge, and it shouldn't effect the overall plot much either way. I can so make this work with the larger scheme.... ... bwaahahahaha....

As far as my actual career game goes, funds aren't really an issue anymore. I can make quick cash a few different ways if I need it. I'm at the point it's sort of like playing a sandbox game, but with contracts to keep it interesting. Of course, I can't afford to get over confident, Gene could still lose it all if I'm not paying attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkaboy Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Oh, boy... I'm really curious to see what that "ultimate" ship will look like! Can that contract even be fulfilled in one lifetime? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altho' I farted up a few tourist contracts, and THAT really hits your rep standings.....hard......like -1000 hard.

But the worst part is Gene absolutely cannot, under any circumstances, let Parka B. Kerman win this one. It's a matter of pride.... and honor... and ego.

RocketSquid Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 So I hear you're lookin' for an interplanetary supership. Well, I've got one. She's called the odyssey, and she's got it all. Science, artificial gravity, and room for over 20 crew. Some assembly required, but she can be yours for the small price of 20,000 funds, plus a 5% sales tax.

Before, you could imagine Kerbal biology any way you wanted, even having them be all artificial constructs. Now we have to account for gender and sexual dimorphism somehow, whether in its literal sense as you're doing or in some other way, such as having larval/instar forms vs. mature forms, different castes like ants and termites, complex life-cycles as with ferns and fungi, etc. All to appease those who get too easily offended over something that exists only as electrons in memory chips...... Yes, I have to admit the presence of two genders is just too inconvenient for words......if only we could somehow eliminate one of them.....must go to my lab and ponder this at length.....
