Funnily enough, I ended up breaking the map views (guessing I went so far the planets deloaded). If I could get that working on PC... right, i need to finish that jool v stat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTLparachute Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Just sacrificed a Kerbal to create the FTL parachute. It is a double edged sword. Yes a Kerbal may die during the creation process, but if the Kerbals were able to weaponise it... They could get rid of Eve. Or conquer the universe. Either is palatable.

Eclipse 32 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 i slammed some supermassive pocket dimensions into the VAB at ~700m/s. the damn building survived, somehow. each pocket was 20-some tonnes apiece, and there were 4 of them, not counting everything else.

Eclipse 32 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 used radial out on an antimatter drive ship. then went full throttle. thus sending dual beams of antimatter into kerbin. then, timewarped out, causing all the fission reactors to meltdown, irradiating the entire crew. and so, so, so much other stuff.

voxelmaker Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I ended up keeping five kerbals (Bob, Bill, Val, Jeb and two others) in orbit for about two years to get 100 science points. I then realised that I added my heat shield on the command pod and not below the Mobile Processing Lab (at least I think that's what it's called) so I got Bill to hop out and strap a load of random cargo to the back to act as a heat shield, which did save them. Either way, must of been horrifying for them. Oh, and I used BDArmory to make Jeb dogfight in a 1v2 (of course he won, he's Jeb after all).

I've had worse Also i think more stupid statistic is the g force. To clarify, this wasn't a single impulse - the entire craft was being constantly jolted around. Only really survived because I left the unbreakable joints on for testing purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke MelTdoWn Posted Monday at 06:08 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:08 PM (edited) Some critics of the 'Chonker' Spaceplane that Meltdown's Exploration Systems (MES) just rolled out have called the seating arrangement, which crams 16 Kerbals into a Service Bay, a crime in itself. But new documents brought to light by a whistleblower paint an even darker picture. According to leaked internal memos, upper management insisted that all trials are run with a full complement of crew, "in order to safe money by preventing a redesign later, in case the CoM shifts". A junior tech at MES told us: "Best industry practice is to run unkerbaled trials until the rocket stops exploding". The records of the flight surgeon show that the survival rate of early test pilots was below 75%. The internal memos show that the program was continued anyways to have an entry for the Mun Shuttle Design Competition ready as fast as possible. The Short Takeoff and Landing tests were especially grueling. To reduce drag, the drogue chutes were mounted inside the Service Bays, requiring them to be open during landing, with disastrous impact on safety. According to a survivor of the test program, who wants to remain anonymous, the "early 'Chonker' prototypes handled like a temperamental brick. You had to apply half power on landing just to compensate for the high sink rate." There were other problems with the cramped seat layout too. Many Kerbals were lost during EVA testing in low orbit. "If you bumped your neighbor while leaving your seat, they might get ejected out of the spacecraft at high speed." the survivor told us. "Only half of the people you see in this promo shot were there at the beginning of the program. But they kept filling up the empty seats."
