[QUOTE=Nutt007;37094087][IMG]http://puu.sh/OUjs[/IMG] Stop smiling. The engine is broken and you're not coming home.[/QUOTE] You have to make a rescue mission

[QUOTE=Str4fe;37094129]You have to make a rescue mission[/QUOTE] I actually have to rescue both Jeb and Bill. [IMG]http://puu.sh/OUGO[/IMG] It will be interesting. :v:

I find mechjeb useful for ascents and the prograde/retrograde/normal/antinormal functions. Throttle and actually a lot of the positioning I do manually (mechjeb tends to overshoot the spot its looking for, and so takes more time to get to it). If I forget to put mechjeb on my craft I just fly it manually anyways.

[QUOTE=-Xemit-;37094342]27 new post, hoping for news about 0.17, got mechjeb arguments instead. 30G peak acceleration? Am I reading that right?[/QUOTE] 30 m/s^2 1G = 9.81 m/s^2 So that's 3.05G [editline]5th August 2012[/editline] Also that's acceleration, it would also feel about 1G from Kerbin. (Like you do when you're not accelerating on the ground).

:v:

A neat addition in the future would be hydraulics. A wire that expands linearly and is placed like struts, to push a part along an axis.

Damn, watching Curiosity land will take me to 6AM this morning. Is it worth it?

[QUOTE=blazingfly;37095786]Damn, watching Curiosity land will take me to 6AM this morning. Is it worth it?[/QUOTE] Don't expect images of mars immediately. I have to stay up until 1:30 - 2:00 AM to watch it. I probably won't.

[QUOTE=OvB;37093301]With the addition of planets there should be a planetary probe similar to the Viking missions or Phoenix that you can launch in place of a capsule. That way you can explore the solar system without worry of having to return your intrepid crew. Instead of having the kerbalnaut portraits it can have portraits of kerbals in a white button up shirt, black tie, glasses with pens in pocket and a headset on. Basically the generic NASA mission control attire. [img]http://i.imgur.com/WZZB5.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Maybe another building that branches off the VAB and when you click on it, it brings up the VAB but in the bottom right it shows, like you said, the kerbals in shirts headset on etc. You select the probe (it comes with a casing around it after you select it) and build the rocket. The final stage that has the command pod icon on the stage, when used, will release the probe. You are following it and you turn on RCS and when you are sure you're finished you will hit this button that is near the three kerbals in the shirt attire saying "Ground Control". It well then bring you to the room where all the kerbal scientists are and etc. You can always go back to the probe any time to control RCS and etc.

[QUOTE=Pelf;37095813]Don't expect images of mars immediately. I have to stay up until 1:30 - 2:00 AM to watch it. I probably won't.[/QUOTE] I have to wake up at 8:00 AM to see it. I didn't wake up that early for almost two years now.:v:

I'm sick of this game glitching up and making my rockets stop working at launch.

Lets hope that the curiosity probe touches down safely. It lands at about 11PM where I am

Man i am so jealous of all the guys that are in the experimental test group, because they get to go on planets before we do. and all the other cool stuff, and will probably brag about it. Sucks that we lost public experimental due to jackasses complaining.

[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;37093607]Anyway, here's the sun from 90Gm away: [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/SUNFROM90GM.png[/img] and here's the sun from 1.1Mm away: [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/SUNFROM1.1MM_.png[/img] Small difference.[/QUOTE] Go out as far as possible, and see what happens then.

August 5th, the day that brave Kerbals discovered that the shuttle was REALLY good for writing messages in the sky. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/71Jhf.png[/IMG] But seriously, this new design I have is really stable - surprisingly. [B]Edit[/B]: Okay, it's stable up until I have to decouple the SRBs. Then this happens: [img]http://i.imgur.com/qbqYj.png[/img] It's still pointing upward, it's as if it wants to work.

[QUOTE=ZombieWaffle;37096695]Go out as far as possible, and see what happens then.[/QUOTE] [img]http://puu.sh/OYl7[/img] My Elipsis V probe is roughly a light week away, nothing strange has happened... yet

Is map sat suppose to work in background? Because mine isn't.

[QUOTE=ZombieWaffle;37096695]Go out as far as possible, and see what happens then.[/QUOTE] Well seeing as that mission took almost 3 ingame years and I can't really do anything with my PC while running KSP, I don't think I will. Maybe someone else with more patience can try it.

Maybe someone else with more patience can try it.[/QUOTE] What speed is your deep space going? Protip: Use RCS from the launch pad, you can use ~5 tanks and ~300 RCS thrusters to achieve 40,000m/s+ speeds by solar escape. You can reach the official start of space in under 30 seconds. RCS is a tad broken in this version of KSP. If you use purely linear thrusters you can get even more, the only trouble is stability goes to the shitter.

[QUOTE=Nutt007;37093479]Stats are good. But when someone celebrates their first mun landing and then it turns out it was done for them, I lose a little respect for them. Before all you jump on me about how NASA has programmed rockets, the LEM was flown manually.[/QUOTE] It's not like MechJeb builds a rocket for you, that's still up to you. KSP at it's heart is about building rockets (and now space planes). Orbiting stuff and landing on foreign worlds is more a bonus than anything.

It's the Surface and Orbital information windows I really love and I wish KSP had a toggleable HUD with similar detailed information. Not having to switch between the map view and live view to check your orbit is handy sometimes, not to mention the true altitude indicator which is damn nice to have.

ALSO Since Curiosity is landing in a few hours do you think they will show us something special for the event in KSP?

I had a brilliant idea, why not make a shroud for the capsule that ejects during staging?

[QUOTE=fox '09;37097835]I had a brilliant idea, why not make a shroud for the capsule that ejects during staging? [/QUOTE] That's a really fine rocket you have there. Reminds me of the Saturn V.

Eyes on the solar system is made in Unity3D like KSP, Nasa should just give us the models.

[QUOTE=gta-man12345;37097924]Eyes on the solar system is made in Unity3D like KSP, Nasa should just give us the models.[/QUOTE] Our taxpayer dollars did go to making them... The entire program should be open-source.
