Bah, massive fail on my part, thought I'd posted a couple of days ago in reply to Cake's proposal, but turns out I didn't. Ugh. Never trying to post off my phone again. Aaanyways...

Sorry to hear that, Cake :( If you're still down to make that sweet ass camper when you have time, we'd be very interested to see what you can come up with in the part limit!

Since we will probably still need a few more modules down there, I'll ask Goose to work on something for it alongside his addition to the station. I will also be building something of a recreation facility.

And of course, if anyone else has ideas for the ground base, you're more than welcome to build a module. Just be wary of anything the station folk build, it might be a secret weapon for the upcoming station wars!

Right.

I'm having a bit of a rough time on my part too. Its in the works, but i'm having troubles with school and i'm still holding up the project which i feel is losing a lot of momentum at the moment. You guys should maybe already start moving on - people can add to the Minmus base when they have the time, while we can still continue the project as usual with a schedule.

Don't worry too much, Spyrit, the project has been slowing down because a lot of the people involved have lost interest. I would very much like to keep it going, but I'm also worried that the next stage is never going to be completed at this rate. So here's my plan:

I will talk to Goose about getting a module up for the station and hopefully another for the ground base on Minmus.

In the meantime, I would also like to contact some other KSP youtubers about possibly jumping onto the project. Any suggestions as to who might be willing to join up? I'm assuming the guys with big channels will say no, but I'd like to get some more exposure for the KCBP, so preferably we can involve people with a fair amount of subs. If you are subscribed to anyone you think might be interested, let me know and I'll get in touch with 'em.

On that note, I will be changing the requirements for joining us, so that you should have at minimum 100 subs (those currently in the project will always be welcome). This will hopefully ensure that we have people who are pretty active.

Additionally, I believe it will be better for the project if we have a smaller group, since it means we'll be more organized, have less downtime and more interesting/larger builds. So when we begin the next stage, I won't be PMing everyone that's been involved previously, as I did before. Instead we'll wait and see who's been keeping up with the project and is actually willing to participate.

These are some pretty big changes and some might not agree with them, but I believe it's going to turn out better this way. Still, I want everybody to have a say, so let me know what you guys think and we'll go from there :)

Alright, seems nice :-).

I'm actually not sure the big channels will say no. Its always worth a try, isn't it? I think Macey Dean might be happy with some more exposure in the popularity of Danny2462 and Scott Manley in the community.

But honestly i can't see why not to ask the bigger youtubers (HOCgaming, Danny2462, Scott Manley) if they want to participate. No you have, yes you might get = they're always free to say no if they don't want to.

Although the 100 sub limit might be nice, i think we'll be short for contributors even without the limit - we've had less contributions for Minmus already.

I'll do my best to contribute to the next ones, but i've been playing less KSP lately and i've never actually succesfully landed very much anywhere outside the Kerbin and Duna systems - i'm rather insecure about my Kerbals, i don't like having them orbit for very long times and i have yet to get over it. But its going better already xD.

Here's a list so far of some people we could use with mare than 100 subs:

https://www.youtube.com/user/TheMattDennis16

http://www.youtube.com/user/CupcakesLanders (Might not be the best fit, but he's a good youtuber.)

http://www.youtube.com/user/vaos3712

http://www.youtube.com/user/Baconlovar

http://www.youtube.com/user/DrKrail/videos

http://www.youtube.com/user/katateochi

(and my personal favorite) http://www.youtube.com/user/MCTimelords/videos

I don't agree on the 100 sub minimum though. I don't think subs are an accurate representation of determination. Also, we would be discriminating against ourselves.

If you want help spamming these people, please ask me!

Managed to find a bit of time to do my module - https://www.dropbox.com/s/z49ig1s92gdpumr/persistent.sfs

Go ahead and add this one to the playlist.

And no, the top docking port is not too hard to dock to. At least two of the people in the list I gave you could do it.

Hehe, nice module, Cake. I love the little patio thing on top, I'm definitely gonna have to try docking with that port so Nauthy Kerman can join you at the table :)

Also, thank you for all the recommended people to contact! I'll send out some PMs on Sunday when I have the day off. I'll let ya know if I need any help.

And yea, I completely agree that the min. 100 sub thing isn't really a good way to judge someone's dedication. It's such an arbitrary number. I just felt that the restriction would ensure that we get people who have been active on YouTube for a little while, and so they've gotten the hang of making good content (audio/video quality, commentary, etc.) You're right, though, it would be kind of hypocritical to set that standard when a bunch of the people already involved are under 100 subs. Especially since most of the submissions have been pretty cool. So, forget I said anything then :D

Also, because of the erratic schedules, maybe we should get rid of the order that people put their modules on in. That way, people can do their stuff whenever they're ready.

The thing with the build order is that it keeps the whole process somewhat organized. I don't mind switching people around in the order if they have their module ready, but without it I think it'd just get messy. With a smaller group we'd be able to do away with the build order, since we can figure out exactly who's building what in a relatively short amount of time. This way we'd have everyone building modules that complement each other, rather than a bunch of useless and/or similar ones. With a bigger group, though, I feel like it's necessary to maintain some order. Can you imagine if we had all the people involved upload everything within, say, a week of the project phase starting? Awesome time saver, but it'd be chaos trying to fit everything together.

Still, I'm open to ideas! This was just the simplest option when I was first planning things out.
