jool's moon bop has an easter egg: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tloLYPwJoRA[/url]
Do you guys fastfoward for your intercept while on the pad, or after in a parking orbit?
[editline]20th September 2012[/editline]
also has anyone actually gotten mechjeb to do a planetary transfer properly? it just sits there moving to injection burn point
but just spins and spins
Duna have a ester egg face

well i got to duna
pelf's superchute doesn't seem to work on duna though
so i accidentally smashed jeb into mars at 500m/s
[editline]20th September 2012[/editline]
funny thing is though
i was joking when i said use a protractor
but it works
[editline]20th September 2012[/editline]
also guys dont post 2 much while i'm sleeping
i wanna make the next thread

The amount of pure genius in that video is hurting my brain.
Not sure why I got rated dumb for wanting to share images but oh well. If you are wondering what that creature is on bop, click that black bar.
[sp]The picture on bop is the space kraken which is dead, just an FYI.[/sp]
Is it just me or has fuel consumption by the rockets increased quite a bit, I can't get none of my usual designs into orbit before running out of fuel.
I made a missile

Consumption was broken in 0.16, and they fixed it.
We have

and

On now, hurray!
Is anyone plan to send ship or even land on Moho?
It sound risky but I should try that.
I can reach the Mun with small parts, but I can barely get into orbit if I try it with bigger components.
I wish I could build ships like you guys :(
Wow, I never thought I'd ever use maximum warp and still find it slow.
[editline]21st September 2012[/editline]
After roughly 5 years in space, my lonely Kerbal has still not met with Jool.

the game is saying there is a update and its causing it to be impossible to play because the buttons wont work!
[editline]21st September 2012[/editline]
also kerbal net is giving me incomplete downloads with novapunch
The timeframe for this game has gone up so much higher, I've gone from having missions that take days or weeks, to years in [I]one[/I] update.
Does mechjeb support planetary transfers yet? Can only find to mun and minmus.

Do you have the [url=http://www.kerbal.net/mod.php?id=20]version updated for 0.17[/url]?
[QUOTE=Orkel;37747019]Does mechjeb support planetary transfers yet? Can only find to mun and minmus.[/QUOTE]
You have to escape kerbin first
Hey Pelf, maybe you could enlarge your interplanetary shell so I could fit rovers and stuff? Just a suggestion.
[QUOTE=jordguitar;37747030]You have to escape kerbin first[/QUOTE]
Oh nice that worked.
I hate how it goes at 10,000 towards the injection burn point instead of 100,000 though.
And once it reached "moving to mid-course correction" the warp went down to 10 and the pod got ripped off the rocket's tip for some reason, screwing up everything.
How do you guys transfer to the inner planets? That interplanetary calculator didn't work. I can get to Duna or Jool fine, but no luck on Eve or Moho.

instead of escaping kerbin along the direction kerbin is going around the sun, escape in the opposite direction. that way you slow down (in comparison to kerbin) and your orbit goes into the inner planets.
I won't have access to facepunch during the weekend, so if this thread expires (in about 400 posts, however I really doubt it) someone else will have to post the next one.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;37747805]threads dont autolock anymore do they[/QUOTE]
They do at 10,000 posts. Hence the sudden jockeying for thread-king.
Also I've begun construction of a secret military base on the Mun. It's even hidden from the cover-up lander by a massive rock.

why the fuck does this keep happening ffffffffffff
the very instant it goes to normal speed from 10k warp to do the injection burn, the pod breaks off always

[editline]21st September 2012[/editline]
last attempt, put struts between pod and the rcs tank below it, doubt it'll work because it seems like a glitch but worth a shot

eh just bring enough fuel to intercept later

i've gotten this a few times too, so has someone else in this thread. man i love that their forums go down too so now one can report bugs...
So it turns out if you break your chute on eve's atmosphere you can still save a kerbal if you EVA pack enough, good to know.
almost at my third attempt. don't break this time bitch
[editline]21st September 2012[/editline]
god DAMN it game, it broke off again
mechjeb is broken, or game is broken, either way
Does anyone else really like landing next to really crazy terrain? Some thing feels awesome about landing on a giant cliff on Minmus or landing next to a giant Mun canyon.
I know I already posted this image but:
