Spacey Wacey Wibbly Spaceship.

Yeah, the game computes a multidimensional array whenever you plant a flag to find the best possible orientation to ruin your screenshot.

This needs to be worked out. Just put the thing in front of your Kerbal and that's that.

"Why's it placed like that?" Amelia Kerman asked.

"Like what?" The Scientist replied.

Amelia: "You've got a flag placed in a very ugly way."

The Scientist: "Well it's not really a flagpole, which, by the way, is a special type of flag that Kerbanauts used to use."

Amelia turned around, still in shock. "There's a beacon on top, do you need to replace the radio??"

The Scientist: "Amelia, stop, breath."

Amelia took a breath. Photosynthesis turning her thoughts to the sun.

Amelia: "Why doesn't the flag get bleached by the sun? It's made of paper. You've got a paper space ship-- do you feel stupid?"

The Scientist: "What?"

Amelia: "Sorry back on the goggles."

The Scientist: "it's camouflage. It's disguised as an Extend-o-matic Flagpole from 1963. Every time the Spacey-Wacey-Wibbly-Wobbly-Ship is placed in a new location, within the first NANOFRAMESECOND of placing it analyzes its surroundings calculates a 12-dimensional data map of everything within a 2.5km radius and determines which placement orientation would look most aesthetic within the environment."

Amelia chuckled a bit.

The scientist: "And then it disguises itself as a wonky-placed flagpole from 1963."

Amelia: "Oh, why?"

The Scientist: "It's actually a bit of a fault actually, I've been meaning to check."

Amelia: "What, it's a bad sun-unlit orientation every time?"

The Scientist: "Well, yeah, I suppose now that you mention."

Amelia: "Well, how long's it been doing that?"

The Scientist: "Oh not long. Only since 0.20."
