No, seriously, this actually made me laugh. Probably one of my favorite lines in the entire chapter. Wow, a Tommy Lee Jones inspired Kerman! No wonder he's so kick-butt! It's actually supposed to be a Calvary hat, but I can't find one... That's why I added the line: "Yeah... it wasn't really what I really wanted..." Kuzzter muttered to himself, then called back.

Angelo Kerman Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Love Thompberry’s new ride! A submarine launched grav tank is definitely a sight to behold. And Emiko with a guitar is a force to be reckoned with! She is a true guitar hero... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I can't say I've been on the Forum enough to understand what the heck is going on around here any more... but FWIW I do love the hat. Hope Tex Kerman doesn't mind I seem to have borrowed his aviators. Brims on a cavalry hat don't always have to be worn snapped up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at slow speeds ur gonna need RCS to keep them under control, but at high speed having rudders on top and on the bottom of the craft (and both front and aft) makes them drivable almost like a car.

Almost poetic for YoSaffBridg really. And @Just Jim really nice chapter, suspense and a dash of revenge too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Peabody Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Just finished reading the new chapter. Great stuff and crammed full of user references. I've seen those gravioli hover motors somewhere before, perhaps I installed the mod way back in an early version of the game. Anyway, great chapter! Just an off topic question, do you ever intend to incorporate the SSTV beacon hill easter egg on Duna into any part of the story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, krap... like Luke's land-speeder in the first movie... It wouldn't necessarily look like one, but it would essentially drive like a speeder!!! Awwww, man, I hadn't considered that! I have to try that later, thanks! 8 hours ago, The Dunatian said: Just finished reading the new chapter. Great stuff and crammed full of user references.

Ya know, it's funny, I was just talking to a good friend yesterday about Duna. Right now I have no real reason to go back... But I would still love to find a way to use the SSTV signal, and maybe the giant face... Edited December 28, 2017 by Just Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretorian28715 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 @Just Jim if you remember a long, long time ago.... (Not even sure when either, possible back around chapter 30-40ish) You mentioned the possibility of sharing the Craft files, is this still a possibility? If so, I would recommend a KerbalX Hanger; and I'm sure I'm not the only person that would be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as far as I know u could even have vertical control surfaces hidden inside the body and they would still work, so I guess u COULD make it look like Luke's Landspeeder if u really wanted. U may wanna install tweakscale tho, I don't think the engine pods are 0.625 meters in diameter... Meanwhile I'm sending plane after plane and their pilots to their doom coz it's just WAY too much fun to play around with BDArmory.

DarkOwl57 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Ah Hotel California! During football, the coaches would play music over the sound system, and every day I heard that song. Brings back memories.. Also, I just heard Sweet Caroline on the radio (We're on the way home from Florida) and I almost laughed out loud thinking about that song in Emiko.. Just an idea...

Normally I wouldn't remember something like this except that I thought it was so funny the first time I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jim Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 It's been almost two weeks, I suppose I should do a quick update. Even with all the holiday madness, I've got a whole bunch of stuff done, guessing maybe 2/3rds or so for the next chapter... I think? I'm not sure because I haven't really decided where to end this one... Here's one of the screenshots... not really a teaser, I just thought it looked cool.
