cpast Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Squad doesn't seem to add a K to everything kerbal. Your crew members are hired from the "Astronaut" complex. The star you orbit is "the Sun", not "Kerbol". Why would money be any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robotengineer Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 It could be the Krona, Muney, Kerbits, Kredits, etc. Funds just sounds boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would money be any different?Yup, a fact who surprised me, the sun is Kerbol, but called everytime "sun", I though at the end it was named so like we could say planet instead Kerbin or another one. I guess we could tweak around to have Kerbol instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4pt0r Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 what do you guys think we will get for recovering a ship that has an asteroid attached? massive rep/funds/science boost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalculusWarrior Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 what do you guys think we will get for recovering a ship that has an asteroid attached? massive rep/funds/science boost?Perhaps Gene Kerman telling you to stop crushing buildings at the KSC with giant rocks?

Robotengineer Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I saw something that said the return was 98% on part recovery, though that shouldn't really be the same all over Kerbin, fro example if you landed on the opposite continent to the KSC, you only receive a 75% return. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun Gunshow Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Well, you probably should've looked a little closer, because that 98% figure comes from Scott Manley's The Mittani video, and you only get that 98% figure at the KSC. You get less when you're not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpast Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Well technically our sun is called "Sol", but no one ever says that.and our planet is called terra but most just call it dirt or earth etc.Interestingly, neither of those are correct. The official name for the Sun is the Sun, or equivalent word in your language (but capitalized). The official name for the Earth is the Earth, or equivalent word in your language (but capitalized). The official name for the Moon is the Moon, or equivalent word in your language (but capitalized). Edited July 14, 2014 by cpast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpast Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 only because the IAU is boring and people like to change things all the timeNevertheless, "Sol" and "Terra" are not official names, nor were they ever official that I'm aware of (at least since Latin stopped being used for all scientific discourse), nor are they likely to be unless there's ever a time when "Sun" or "Earth" becomes confusing.

AngusJimiKeith Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Any idea when the FAQ's going up? Now that we have media release, is that the next thing?I'd guess somewhere in the range 5 PM to 2 AM Eastern, because that's roughly when the Daily Kerbal posts are. Pure speculation.There's also some confusion on whether media release has actually happened. Some think it may have been a leak or accidental release since only Scott Manley's video has gone up.

Some think it may have been a leak or accidental release since only Scott Manley's video has gone up.He called it a special early access thingy.Btw.: I am sure Max said "contracts are scripted at first but soon will switch to procedural mode" - I take it as indefinite contracts are already in.

AngusJimiKeith Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) He called it a special early access thingy. I know. I mentioned something to that effect in the media release thread. But there were at least a few people crying foul.EDIT: Scott has another video up on his normal channel. I'd say it's safe to assume we'll be seeing more pop up soon.

Renegrade Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 All the major patch releases over the last year have been either on a Tuesday or Wednesday.Not that that necessarily MEANS anything, here, but snacks for thought.Well, if it was an intentional thing (and not just that they 'felt like it' or somesuch), it would make sense.It's much better to do an emergency scramble to repair a critical gamestopper bug on Wednesday/Thursday than say, Saturday/Sunday, heh.Also QC people tend to mutter bad words about code written on Monday....
