Kragrathea Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I am afraid we can not part with Ike, Mr. Kragrathean. First of all this moon is very important for our missions exploring Duna - as both source of readily available kethane and ore, and as navigational help. Not to mention Ike is allegedly orbited by fabled Magic Boulder - and we at Space Research Bureau are looking eagerly toward exploration of this phenomenon. I am sure you understand why we must insist on leaving Ike as it is - at least for now.Quibblesome Kerbal! Why spend time moving your quaint Keythane between Ike and Duna when the very Stars await?!? And I am afraid I must <spoiler> undeceive you my friend. The magic bolder is no more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devo Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Ah! Hello Kerbals!. I am using my new brainPhone for this update. So embrase brevity and ignor typos not to mention non-sequitur and brain frts. In other words, business as usual. I am out doing field inspections in your new system and I must say it is coming along! The idiots in marketing are still blocked on the video. But on my way home tonight I had my pilot (Hering) take me by Krag and I used the brainCam on my new brainPhone to make this quick (but boring!) video of the new surface. <brainCamCapture> </brainCamCapture>Don't mind the white splotches... I assure you they can be buffed out quite easily. They are the result of a rather spectacular accident... Hrmmm. You Kerbals like explosions right? You'll get a kick out of this...What?. Really? Very well,....Sign, Unfortunately the <redacted> "lawers" tell me I "can't comment further" on the "indecent". Bah... But I will tell you this there was a LOT of exploding involved... Wrote on my brainPhone.Last edited by Kragrathea; Today at 01:24. Reason: My pilot Hering Kerman is apparently upset that I didn't give him a "shout out".Fine, thanks Hering, for doing your bloody...Must ... change pants...

Kragrathea Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) The scenarios are stored in the scenario tab below the Tutorials in the main menu. They maintain an internal save and you have the option to continue or restart when you select the scenario. There are currently 4 stock scenarios.Yes! That is Exactly it! Thank you Kerbal crooks4hire. If I ever need a crook (whatever that is) I shall give you a call at once!

Mekan1k Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Is that lag I see? (Although the planets look brilliant! When can I download the universal upgrade?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kragrathea Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Yes Mekan1k! You are a very keen eyed Kerbal indeed! As you observed we have vast quantities of lag in stock! I am afraid it is like manure in our business. Would you like some? No charge of course... Edited July 19, 2013 by Kragrathea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekan1k Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I have enough being manufactured, enough that I could gladly export some, if there was a market for is- a space-based conflict between the resident space-fairing species and an insane AI uses up a lot of clocktime.

ZRM Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) It looks from that video that the binary star system is not casting any light on the moon and planet, which are still getting all of their lighting from Kerbol. Is this true? Any way to fix this? Edited July 19, 2013 by ZRM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kragrathea Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 So that's the take away from the video is it? Lag and bad lighting. I can feel the marketing department snickering at me. Very well Kerbals. All future press releases will be polished until they shine, I do assure you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaydeeDem Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Krag I'm pretty sure Spaceengine's texture exporter also exports height maps. Or do heightmaps work differently in KSP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am afraid I must <spoiler> undeceive you my friend. The magic bolder is no more...I'm eager to visit the stars, as I'm sure it will take more and bigger explosions to reach them. More brainCam video is desired; we highly enjoy all such tastes of forthcoming pocket universi. Your last sample, though short, was beautiful. I, for one, am willing to place Ike on the altar of exploration. Please do continue dear Kragrathea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panichio Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Darn, it looks like I'm late to the party... I keep forgetting to check this section. The most interesting mods seem to always be here, and never actually released properly. So, I don't understand what's been going on for the past 42 pages. Why is Kragrathea showcasing those two planets? I wish I had the attention span to read through all 42 pages of this thread, but I just don't...

Scotius Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Basically we are trying to haggle Moho, Eve and apparently Ike for a bunch of new planets and moons. And binary stars orbiting Kerbol. Speaking of which...Mr. Kragrathean, let me present a new offer from Space Research Bureau. Regardless of Magic Boulder's current status (or lack thereof), we at S.R.B. still consider Ike to be invaluable for our future operations in Duna system. But, to show our good will, we are ready to part with this moon under one condition: you will provide at least two smaller moons (or rather moonlets) not unsimiliar to Phobos and Deimos orbiting a planet called Mars in Solar system. Is that offer acceptable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupid_chris Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 That might not be a bad idea. Tell me, does size affect this thing called "lag" or does the number affect it? I must admit, I would like some more Gilly-ish moonlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotius Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I really don't think we need five more stars. Personally i'd prefer another Duna or Laythe like world, or a small gas giant with couple of moons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally plan to take Nova's ideas for the solar system and expand upon that. Edited July 20, 2013 by Nutt007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
