Superluminaut Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 In .20, are they really dead now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinPistones Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 There are rumours that the Kerbals are working on some cloning technology, so you *might* see them again.And Jeb is immortal. (at least in my game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdad84 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Kerbals always end up coming back around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamatoes Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Agreed, the game may have 5,000 Kerbals, but I've seen billy-bobfred about 5 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbcundiff Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I pretty much never saw bill bob and jeb in .19 in .20 they were the first ones to come up on the launchpad. I think I'm going to have to get rid of them. I have my own favorite Kerbals at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandski Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I always manage to kill Bob but never Jeb or Bill... I must be doing something wrong.Slightly OT: My favourite Kerbal is Newton. He's sitting in a small station orbiting the Mün awaiting the ok to head to Minmus and has been the station commander of every single station I've ever built since 0.18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Goddess Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 So far in .20 I didn't get Jeb Bill and Bob as my first Kerbals... Then when I got Jeb he wasn't in orange. So I edited the persistence file to add Bill and Bob, and they are in orange, but Jeb still isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internetlad Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I hope in the future they will default to the randomized system, but allow you to manually choose pilots, or possibly in career mode you can "hire" or "train" kerbals to act as pilots. It would be neat to see them all freak out and stop responding to your commands because they're scared, not unlike what happens in XCOM, and would add extra challenge to the game making sure you have 2 vet pilots stacked with a rookie to train him.

Erixxxx Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I have taken safety measures to prevent such an event. My three lovelies are secured in a capsule in Kerbin orbit while less important members of the KSC take care of things until heroic deeds need doing.

M5000 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 What is this heresy?Shhh. My favorite Kerbs are Jeb, Lozon, Jonnie, Kirk, Erfel and Corfrid. Shhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbcundiff Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 What is this heresy?Jeb gets so much hype. when he showed up on the launchpad I thought. ugh. drama queen. I can't have a space program that consists of one yayhoo goofing off. I need Kerbals who know how to get things done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolt Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 That's the beauty of the Crew Manifest mod! Anytime I'm doing testing for ships, I'll just pick a random Kerbal to try it out first, just in case they die. Once I know the rocket or space plane works, then I use Bill, Jeb, or Rodzer to get things done with the help of the mod. It's also helps to fill up all the pods on a ship at the launchpad, which saves time in the long run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karolus10 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Unfortunately, Dildo Kerman has been "vaporised" from history after 0.19 bugfix .Original Trio (or one of them) often reappear after being killed - I encountered few times bizarre situations, when 2 Jeb's meet together on orbit...

I never had the pleasure of having them in my game, no pun intended, but I can't believe.. Like the thought of having a Kerb come up with that name.. That's pretty much the funniest thing I've read all day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karolus10 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Actually It was changed in v0.18.4 RC1 ^^.* Added a bad name filter for the Kerbal name generator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vostok Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I was personally shocked when I discovered that Jeb's crewmember statistics were Courage: 50% and Stupidity: 50%.I thought that he would have both Courange and Stupidity all the way up to 100%.

The Wrong Stuff Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Bill, Bob, and Jeb were sent up as the first part of my space station.....granted funding is not in place to build anymore of the space station, but the first capsule and service module are in orbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
