Demum Perveniemus - A stock career report webcomic (Chapter 15!)

[Parkaboy]

Demum Perveniemus - "We'll get there eventually!"

A KSP mission report webcomic

While I'm currently writing and enjoying another fanfic comic called Plan Kappa, that project has grown beyond it's original scope, gradually becoming more story than gameplay report. This comic is an atempt to go back to basics, by doing a career report in webcomic format. Plan Kappa will continue in parallel on its own thread, and here I'll report on an entirely new savegame.

Demus Parveniemus will be a completely stock career game, played on normal difficulty, but with crew respan disabled and entry purchase required on research.

1. Week 1: The Space Report

2. Week 2: Jebediah's Rival

3. Week 3: Six days in space

4. Week 4: Frontier Station

Oh dayum! Really liking the news report style, along with the mission-y-ness of it!
 Great job!

Stay Determined . . .

[max_creative]

YES!!! And the space report looks so nice with 1.1! 

And the Minmus I is a lot cooler than the prototype! It's still on a trash can full of explosives though!

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

Subbed.  I really like your graphic novel writing style.

[Kerbalstar]

Awesome! This is wonderful!

[Mister Dilsby]

Awesome stuff! I think I've seen the color of Ron's sweater before, something to do with French wine but I can't quite put my finger on it. Outstanding work as always, and a good idea to document your new pure-mission S.A.V.E.  

[max_creative]

I hope they don't get hit with a piece of kerbin from the corrupted S.A.V.E.

Yeah, let's hope Squad delivers on that promise of less spacetime anomalies in 1.1...

[DMSP]

Awesome! Another cool thing to keep up with, and that is not bad!

[Kerbiter]

G'job man! I got a suggestion for the story.

Why don't you take snippets of the launches and stuff and turn it into GIFs for quick highlight viewing?

Maybe I can make a payload for you, and include it as a commercial payload? Like a tiny cube sat or something with a couple experiments and an antenna? I can just go make it a bit later and call it Neutrino.

Will you do a Dres mission? Pleeeeeeeeease? For all the Dres lovers out there? Maybe? You should have seen this coming 138 km away (equatorial radius of Dres)

Perhaps you should do the Dres mission you seem to want everyone else to do.

I can't believe I only just saw this.  Keep it up!

I am, I only have to get 15 more ships in orbit! And replace the other 5 with new ones!

The Gif idea is nice, maybe I'll give it a try. As for the cubesat, I'd rather not. I want this savegame to feel like a pure stock career play, so I'm sticking with doing the contracts offered!

And here's the second chapter:

Val steals the spotlight.... awesome! 
I can't wait to see how this plays out!!!

"You know the difference between Jeb and a jet engine? At the end of the flight, the jets stop whining"

Oh my god that's gold!

*Determination.

[Starhawk]

Beautiful stuff, Parkaboy!

Many laughs and much fun.  I especially liked the line 'it implies we're years away from becoming slaves of robotic masters.' 

Happy landings!

[Mister Dilsby]

"At the end of the flight..." That goes right in the global headcanon, best Jeb lines of all time

i don't want to get off topic, but currently as of now, I haven't seen any proof or documentation of your mission. Your statement is null. sorry.

Yay! Moar Parkaboy!

At least you like the gif idea. I saw @CatastrophicFailure do it.

I could make a small STOCK payload too. I never play mods. Something? Pleeeeeeeeease?
