SelectHalfling0 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I would like one ticket please. I've crashed in the VAB enough that I'm excited. On a side note, I just finished a train-like rover base . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirligig Girl Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Dres is not a hoax, nor is it the subject of the Hype Train. Please do not argue about whether Dres exists or not. This is the Kerbal Space Program v1.1.3 Hype Train Thread, not the Dres Awareness Society thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curveball Anders Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I have to admit that I'm only moderately hyped since 1.1.2 actually works quite nice for me (as long as I don't let Kerbonauts touch any landing struts ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I could make my own Hype Train for those of us on this side of the pond, but I thought I'd at least suggest it here before doing such a thing.

Overland Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Wait... Its 2016 not 2012.. Whats this ticket thing? No opal card readers? You dont want easily obtainable easy to use paper tickets... Everyone will get in..look at all the bugs that got in last time! They all boarded the hype train!

pandaman Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Maybe we should 'encourage' (persuade/bribe/threaten/ask nicely - delete as applicable) @Overland to make a Hype Train truly worthy of the title. And perhaps a smaller one too for emergencies and minor updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I could make my own Hype Train for those of us on this side of the pond, but I thought I'd at least suggest it here before doing such a thing. By British standards, a 4-6-2 is a decently huge engine. We use British Loading Gauge, because transitioning the billions of kilometers of track and infrastructure from the early days of the Hype Train Railways to a larger loading gauge would be hugely expensive. Those EA guys have found enough money to transition to a larger loading gauge, but the Indie line is dirt cheap and poor. The branch line doubly so. The rails are literally made from wood in some places. HypeWood, but still. Wood. Also, you're right. That 14xx tank engine is not respectable. It is Sagacious. There's also the important fact that the engine looks like whatever you want it to. Just imagine it's a PRR T-1 and it will be. Incidentally, I *am* on your side of the pond. I just like British trains better. You can blame Reverend Wilbert Awdry for that. Edited June 15, 2016 by GregroxMun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peep-peep!@ruiluth British locomotives have an impressive list of steam-powered world firsts/world records. But anyway, the Hype-Train isn't steam-powered, it's Hype powered. If u got a real GWR 14xx/48xx or even a PRR T-1, and tried to run it on pure hype... well. That would NOT be a really useful engine.

Madrias Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 And here I sit, one who likes both British and American steam locomotives equally. I think the British knew what they were doing in the looks and functionality departments, with big trains for their location (People, keep in mind the size of the countries here for a moment. A 4-6-2 in American terms is small, but then look at the size of America versus Britain, and suddenly that 4-6-2 is huge.) and those big trains looked awesome pulling coaches behind them. They pulled big trains for the distances they had to travel, and those big trains needed big locomotives. On the flipside, the Americans built trains for their country: Huge expanses, large plains, massive mountains. Looks were secondary, performance was everything. It's why you see trains like the Union Pacific Challenger, the Big Boy, and some of these massive 4-8-4, 4-8-2, 2-10-0 arrangements. We could afford the space for the huge turning circles of these locomotives, and we needed to haul more people from coast to coast. We had to haul more cargo from coast to coast. It wouldn't have been cost effective to use four or five smaller trains (each with their own crews) to do the job that a bigger locomotive could do better. As for diesels, well... They all look the same, don't they? Sure, some are built for freight and are boxy and ugly, but super functional, but any passenger diesel looks about the same.
