Hey KerbolExplorer, can you please remove the pictures you used as a quote from your last post ?

I like it that you respond, but repeating old images after I posted new ones can confuse new readers.

Please keep comments short to guarantee continuation in my story.

I hope you all understand. &)

Done..Sorry i  if i caused any trouble:blush:

I guess we do need to refuel once we have saved Val and Bill.

Jebediah Kerman.  On land, in space, or at sea, danger is his middle name. :)

Oh, BTW, is Jeb doing this solo or is someone else in the Cabin below-decks?

I figured from the shot of the Lucky Ferry II rounding Cape Horn that it would need refueling around where Val and Bill are.  But then it would likely make it to the narrows with enough left to make the crossing.  Assuming it doesn't decide to break free....

Guess you're going to need a bigger plane too for the refueling.

Visual contact, hold on Val and Bill !

OK, while I was distracted by reading Jacke's comment Jeb totally passed the rescue point. :lol:

I love reverse thruster steering. :cool:

It's pretty deep down here, maybe we could send in a sub to explore later . . . :ph34r:

I still have a stock sub &)

I hope Val and Bill are still there . . .

Yeah, yeah.  Blame the spectator in the cheap seats for everything. (We all know that you were fascinated by Lloyd Bridges' underwater adventures.) :)

Cool pictures, dude.  (Managed to resist breaking out the submarine film cutscenes. :))

I think sending a sub down to examine the wreckage would be cooler still.

And hoping that Bill can "EVA" from his cabin....

Why else go there ?

Even better, a sub with a grabbing claw that can clean it up.

I hate leaving stuff behind... :cool:

Look who's there ! Val !

Wave everybody !

@Triop why not host it on discord....

Also making the boat out if non-lift producing materials(Strutual Panels) will prevent it from flying into the air. Strutual Panels also have more crash tolerance.:cool:

Well, what you expect?  Of course, Bill going to be watching Netflix.  Last few weeks have seen a 9th series for Archer and a 2nd for Iron Fist (which is actually quite good).  Would you rather have him pilot? :)

- send Val and Bill on their way on the Lucky Ferry II.

Fixed it for you :)  Don't want to tempt the Kraken....

Aye aye, @Triop !  It's good to see planning in action.  And it's good you play out the game without backing up with a revert or a quickload.  (I'd still do quicksaves to guard against more series cheaty bugs and Kraken attacks.)

BTW, speaking of the Bob Johnson's short flight, it does look like it lifted clear of the waves and then with high jet thrust and no water drag flew forward and pitched up.  Getting rid of the lift might help.  Or changing the hull to pitch down its pitch trim.

Since everybody keeps asking me if I have Discord (I never heard of it) I made a account.

I still have no idea how it works or what I can do there, all new to me. :unsure:

OUR ADVENTURE CONTINUES !

- get ashore for refueling.

First find a nice parking spot for me tub:

So I hired 2 new pilots, I'm not letting Bob the science guy fly...

First rookie up is Nike Naked Nake Kerman (what's with all the weird names ?) :lol:

She is pretty smart, she decided to let the plane roll out on the runway, turn and take off in the opposite direction saving fuel. &)

I was hoping the tanker would still hit  the boat and grab it...

What was I thinking . . .

It came to a full stop a few meters from target . . .:P

N3oyC7p.png

The only thing I can do now is ram the claw with the "Lucky" Ferry. :cool:

GCyEQkh.png

Yes ! HOOKED ! It actually worked . . . :lol:

jKn2QTv.png

Ok, let's start pumping fuel, let's drain that sucker . . .

l1o6oTH.png

So Nake is going nowhere, guess she can take a ride with Jeb back home. -_-

Next up: Send in the taxi jet to pick up Naked Jeb.

 

It's going real Triop-style so far, everything fails, giving us more problems. :lol:

TIP: DON'T REFUEL FRONT TANKS FIRST ! :rolleyes:

BJWuVHM.png

"Me bobs are stickin out." :lol:

Pumped the fuel into the back, we should be fine . . .

YQI0ZpV.png

Released the grabber, luckily the tanker rolls back so we have some distance.

45hdixi.png

Almost forgot, we need to take yep Jeb out of the lovey Lerry Lucky Ferry.

TIMBER !

rC7vXy5.png

We got Naked Kerman out of her tanker aswel, we will now wait for our taxi . . .

"What do you mean ? It's not ready yet ?"

"Should we test it ?"

Nah, just send out our new boy, he looks pretty smart ;)

oekQkIv.png

So this bozo lost 25 minutes taxiing "to save fuel" he said . . .

He has enough fuel to go around Kerbin, but hey, he's thinking. :lol:

LozOP6o.png

Now let's hope he can fly....., BYE, ORLO ! (again, what's with the weird names ? ^_^)

HezfaKl.png

Let's hope he can fly land . . .
