I am full of grief and coffee

[Danish_Savage]

You are wicked

[Gravaar]

Nah. Not the point of this one. Big sphere, rover inside, Jeb does loops and breaks tires.

When has size EVER stopped YOU from launching it into orbit

And yes I did work out what it was for

Sorta need to get motorbikes operational for best results

AEIA Mk8 hit some sort of complexity limit and KSP refuses to even load it. Still hanging on to the file, just in case .23 makes it possible.

EDIT: http://www.filedropper.com/thrillmastersphere <-- Get your own thrillmaster sphere! 1,500 parts.

[The Destroyer]

Use part welder mod and launch the giant sphere into orbit

[Stargate525]

Or the orbital construction mod and build it up there!

[MalfunctionM1Ke]

It is the Whacksphere of Doom

Can you roll around with it Whack?

[Madrias]

1500 parts. Good reference point to see how much my rig complains. Sad that KSP is a single-threaded application, otherwise I wouldn't be nervous at all.

Edit:

Oh, this is fun! I keep hitting the central spire, but it's fun! Also reasonably smooth running.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present version one of...

The Thrillmaster Sphere!

Doing test run now.

All we need now is a giant space hamster

[Madrias]

There's a rover inside of that, Aramil. It's really kinda fun.

[Spatzimaus]

What we really need is a transparent version of those panels, so that we can watch the rover zipping around from the outside. I'm sure some modder around here knows how to do that...

[John FX]

What on earth is that monster for​?!

Zorbing...

[Starwaster]

Operation ball roll failed. The reinforcements are nowhere near enough. And as much as I hate to admit such a thing, this might be too big. Whole sections of the ball are unselectable and I cannot attach struts to them. I think there's a hard limit somewhere. So I might have to make this a bit smaller.

Meh. WTB larger VAB.

I'm not sure how you feel about using things like Kerbal Joint Reinforcement in your creations but I bet that could hold your ball together! (resisting urge to pluralize ball...)

[Deadpangod3]

How do you get a rover going fast enough to not fall?

[Whackjob]

Small fuel tank, two small and efficient engines. Sucker's rocket powered.

I want to try this so bad... But I'm at school atm, and my computer barely handles 100 parts

[tyrant264]

If you used SAS and RCS would it roll better my comp has nowhere near the power to handle the monster! and what if you used unbreakable connections?

[Madrias]

So, any interesting monstrosities created in 0.23, Whackjob?

I think you should figure out a way to put a mouth and some wings on that centipede, to make it look like a dragon. Then, put an SRB in the mouth to give it fire breath. Trogdor the Burninator lives again!

[Boris_T_Roach]

Very good... now land it on the mun

Boris

....currently re-designing the giant mun rover ..... to be even bigger... and land it on Duna ... hmm mun rover on duna.. does not compute .. eekk I think my brain has exploded

[3mon]

Holy crap what is that thing on the last pic lol?!? A chinese dragon??

[Skyler4856]

A poet kerbonaut eh?

Hi there!

^^Give it a week, you'll be making stuff that makes this look like a firecracker. Have fun, get yourself Mechjeb and ISA Mapsat (and Flight Engineer perhaps) from the Space Port site, and don't forget: If all else fails, MOAR STRUTS.

Your prediction is correct

Hah. It was that first post, I think. I could tell there was something... different.. about him.

Just call me Nostrodamus, eh?

Whackjob,

You and Yarg were chatting something like a couple weeks ago about using a command line argument to run KSP in dx10 mode using "-force-d3d10" to enjoy a nice performance increase. I cannot for the life of me get this to work.

I have a GeForce GT 630. My shortcut's target is: "C:\Users\User\Desktop\Master KSP\KSP-23\Kerbal Space Program\KSP.exe" -force-d3d10

(my account name replaced with User)

I am able to get KSP to run in dx11 mode, but was told (and saw) some graphical bugs. So I know my command line argument passing is working, I'm just not getting the specific one I want, dx10 mode, to work. Any ideas Whackjob?

EDIT:

dxdiag says I have dx11 installed.
