tater Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Is there seriously a plus point to landing on them?The devs said it would not happen to good pilots, but it is hilarious, right? Landing leg on Mun rock, lander tips over, hilarity ensues. Mk1 1 pod gets caught in tree, hilarity ensues. Just spitballing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanml82 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 duh, to refuel stuffAnd why would you want to refuel stuff at the KSC? Either you launch a new ship, which is already fully fueled or you've just landed and you might as well recover the ship and launch again.What if it's Jeb's Junkyard and Rocket Parts? It could be like a store where you sell parts to get funds, which a good player would never see because they'd be able to gather the funds from missions?That's the recover buttonWonder if they could make the scattered terrain features within a few meters of you solid. That would penalize people landing on rocks...They'll need to change rovers wheels to grip to the terrain and to allow them to turn without the risk of flipping over so often. Imagine trying to do one of FinePrint rover contracts on a low gravity body. You land at, let's say, 10 km from the target area. Not only you have an 8 minutes drive (at 20 m/s, which is kind of dangerous for rovers), possibly across craters and slopes, you also have to avoid terrain scatter all the way.I know some super-awesome players will shrug and say "pff... I can do it with my eyes closed", but for us common mortals, it adds a serious amount of difficulty - unless rovers are improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jedi Master Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 It was me.The Secret Feature is confirmed to be even more randomization in the text generator for contracts. So instead of "As a result of that apparently horrible chain of events, as you can imagine, we now need your help" etc, descriptions will be like "awe painstaking eagerness pumpkin wafted allied rungs ineffectiveness legion obligates unrolling cynic".I, for one, welcome our new random 'unrolling cynics' overlords.(Squad was actually mistaken in believing that nobody had made a mod to make the descriptions LESS sensible.. My Even Less Comprehensible Mission Text Generator has over 400 million downloads!)So therefore, in conclusion, returnees latecomer habituate calculable objectively, probabilities garlanded stinks coveted erupting indemnifies explore pummel sloughing gentrified.EDIT: That was a joke, wasn't it?

Bilfr3d Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 in 0.26(0.25 is already decided) i would like to see GP2. i haven't explored moho, vall, tylo, bop, and pol, but i'm to excited for fonso.Do not start talking about 0.26 now. 0.25 isn't even in experimentals yet, so if you go around talking about what you want to see in 0.26, expect the mods to be right onto the thread. So people, try not to talk about 0.26 otherwise the thread will be locked. In other words, don't go off topic. The topic is "What you would like to see in 0.25" not "What you would like to see in 0.26". The latter has already tried to happen, but got locked straight away.

Sky_walker Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Doesn't fit one other thing that was said about it, that Harvester spent a day just having fun with said "secret feature." I don't see where this would fit that.Why not?I mean - right now it takes some time to force yourself into bankruptcy, so combine that with taking loans and you got 8 hours of "fun" easily......ok, ok, you win.

Rocket Farmer Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 So for he guy above that doesn't know why a refueling station would be useful consider this. If they make the recovery return no more that 75% of the cost of the ship but had a refueling station players would park their most common planes and refuel them when they had a mission. It would help the ecn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Farmer Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 However given the hints that skilled players won't use it my thought is that the building is a memorial for lost Kerbals. It will probably have a feature to play the last 20 seconds of a Kerbals life before he goes poof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket Farmer Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 What would be the point in that apart from more hassle that would be boring by the second refuel.Then you wouldn't have to make use of it now would you?On the other hand instead of simply recovering all of our planes many people would instead opt to park them and refuel them as needed to save the extra funds that would otherwise be lost with recovery and launching. Personally I don't think it would be any greater hassle than constantly recovering and launching aircraft as it isn't overly difficult to land on the landing strip and park in an area for 10 seconds then move to a parking area plus you would get the benefit of having a bunch of aircraft parked in a line for use which would add to the appeal for many players.
