OtherDalfite Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I havent read all 1500 posts, will the update break persistence files? Or craft files even?Yeah, I'm pretty sure all updates will break persistence files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluekommeh Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 So, who's going to be the first to take a dip in Eve's mercury oceans?I WILL BE!Of course, that's assuming I remember my floaties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprablaski4 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 It's too easy to start rumors that end in dissapointment and more stress for the devs.respect, i understand. just saying thread says unofficial lol the whole point of the thread is speculation, otherwise what are we doing here? if someone ignorantly takes something here as fact the disappointment is on them not the Devs. figure long as no one here is trying to draw the attention of mods or devs to destract them from their job (aka asking for release date or release info), its just fans talking about whats coming (a forum)Edit:late reply, not intentional derail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blinkin Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Plus, I think we all assumed we were mature enough to speculate without derailing.I'm very sure you are. The point is that lots and lots of people don't are that mature.The past has proven it 3 times!I think that a topic like this, were the ksp dev Nova is posting some work, it is still dangerous to speculate.Some people just can't see the difference between a dev post and a regular post. They all accept it as a valid release date (they read what they want to read).It's sad, but not much we can change about. Solution: start a site or go to another forum and do a bet there. I don't think that the rules can forbid that. As long as there are no links to it posted on this forum (not even coded with mysite (DOT) com).Anyway back on-topic. Any Idea what happens when you crash during IVA's?I'm also wondering this, might be fun or very scary I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommygun Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 So, who's going to be the first to take a dip in Eve's mercury oceans?That would be interesting.I'm wondering if they will look like chrome silver or just shades of gray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felsmak Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 That would be interesting.I'm wondering if they will look like chrome silver or just shades of gray?And how many shades of gray would that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spadde Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I would take a guess I'd say about 50, yep, 50 shades of gray sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vexx32 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Please don't reference things claiming to be literature I cannot even call literature here. Ugh. No offense if you like it, but the mention of the name makes me feel like vomiting.Keep it to KSP, please. Go discuss those things elsewhere... Please.Now, that done...

Felsmak Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) No offense if you like it, but the mention of the name makes me feel like vomiting.I take offense to the fact that you even considered the possibility that I'd like it. Now, just to keep it KSP-related and avoid attracting the moderators' attention with large concentrations of off-topic: I can't wait to crash a command pod into Jool!

tsakali Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 that book has destroyed the use of the word "shades" and "gray" for me for the rest of time. I seriously cringe, every time I am forced to use them during a sentence. Scarred for life.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panichio Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Any Idea what happens when you crash during IVA's?I would think it just immediately changes to 3rd person view and from there you can then press Esc and what not.Someone also said they can make a heavy lifter from forty parts? How do you go about designing that? Because I really need something lighter right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsakali Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) Someone also said they can make a heavy lifter from forty parts? How do you go about designing that? Because I really need something lighter right now... whatever it is, it will probably utilize fuel lines that feed every stage's engine at all times, even before you get to that stage that is. Try not to have any dead weight engines just sitting there waiting for their turn before they start doing work.Also, see if you can set up stages where each stage drops off used up fuel tanks.For instance, instead of setting up a stage that has an engine and 3 or 4 stacked fuel tanks to it, try to brake that down into more stages, where each stage drops off the used up fuel tanks. Those two things, should effectively make it a much more efficient setup, as it will trim off unnecessary weight instead of having to haul it with you. Not 100% sure if the physics engine takes under consideration full to empty tanks (or if there is a difference between no tank, and a n empty tank), but the idea is sound.Also, think more wide, than tall. that will give you setup with more engines doing work at the same time, hence greatly alleviating the burden of weight on fewer engines.Also, this idea is taking under consideration only vanilla parts, cause I'm sure there are some other alternatives that really throw off the balance of the game, and make it a bit of a cop out.Hope that makes sense.

tsakali Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 also, unless someone can correct me, don't even bother with solid fuel engines... they seem very underpowered, and no matter what configuration I used them in, they always suck compared to liquid fuel setups.

Pleborian Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 hmmm interesting tsakali, I have found SRB's (both sizes) to be very useful when giving us that extra 'oomph' off the launchpad... but thats all they are good for LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsakali Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 i don't even think they are worth the extra weight , even at the start.. you'd be better off using a liquid engine instead....pretty much under any circumstances. Again, I really hope I get proven wrong, cause I don't particularly enjoy ignoring them completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForumHelper Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I use one set(4) of boosters at the very beginning + all my liquid fuel engines on the laucher stage, then liquid fuel engines carry it into an orbit. I use fuel lines and a lot of struts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
