[QUOTE=CardBoardBox;35858557]:/ it's just another image being shown atop the model or showing where to effect it. But I guess innocence makes everything neat. [/QUOTE]

Who cares how it's done if it looks great?

oh I know. but it is hardly super amazing. But i will agree it is nice that they are adding that sort of stuff into the game :)

KOSMOS will need an over haul with animations and this sort of thing.

[DireAvenger]

I want to see heat effects from dropping in from orbit.

[cpt.armadillo]

It'll probably crash my computer but it would be worth it.

Is it worth buying KSP on the store? Its tempting since I enjoyed the demo alot. but im stuck due to the fact that even the demo has mod capabilities.

[CardBoardBox]

well fuck a duck.

May19th at 4:55 A.M. EST for Falcon 9. so it is a sort night launch.

also, "As of August 2011, SpaceX is producing Merlin engines at the rate of eight per month, planning eventually to raise production to 400 engines per year.[SUP][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merlin_(rocket_engine)#cite_note-awst20110811-21"][22][/URL]"[/SUP]

[QUOTE=HarvesteR]Well, we're getting set up to start experimentals now. If all goes well, we should have an experimental up today for the test team.

There are still some things I want to finish up though, mainly with patched conic rendering, but it's low priority, and we can do that while we are already testing the rest of the features.

Cheers[/QUOTE]

On an unrelated note, in the 0.15 dev thread the mods keep deleting the off-topic posts but they should also start banning users for excessive off-topic chat.

Are the experimentals private now? Is that from the drama in the development thread?

Fucking stupid KSP community.

That and the massive spam of [BUG] threads.

[CardBoardBox]

such a small amount :/ it can carry much more I am assuming?

"Dragon will transport**460 kilograms (1,014 pounds) of cargo and will
return 620 kilograms (1,367 pounds)."

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;35856859]that's what i mean
and harv already confirmed some time ago there will be an arcade mode and a campaign mode, so you will have the option to just build without worrying about anything else

The Demo doesn't support plugins, which come with even more amazing mods like more retractable landing gear, rovers, pivoting engines, MECHJEB which has autopilot functions for ascent and descent... you don't get the good shit unless you buy

And it's cheap, and you get all future versions, so why not

[joshjet]

Having Kosmos, robotics, C7, and SundyPunch pack make the game take like 5 minuets to start.

[OvB]

Boats are so last century.

I put KSP on my SSD.

What loading?

[QUOTE=MC3craze;35868997]I put KSP on my SSD.

have you had any problems from it? I have been wanting to get one for my OS. but I am not sure how I could copy my OS over bit for bit so i don't have to reinstall.

Can't you just copy paste, and then go into your Bios when you reboot and switch the Bootup 1 device to be the SSD?

Never done it before. That would probably cause a lot of problems with other shit looking for the original directory for stuff and not finding it

[Squeegy Mackoy]

I'm putting my KSP in virtual memory.

[CardBoardBox]

I am putting KSP in my recycling bin.

[Squeegy Mackoy]

Well that's just silly.

[Pilotguy]

Today I realized just how small Kerbals actually are.

If you can't see the image, rate disagree and I'll upload elsewhere.

Great, now I'm going to think Toy Story when I play KSP

[Goz3rr]

paycheck arrived, buying KSP today :D

I just spat tea all over myself.

400 a year?! For what? There aren't enough satellite launches a year to support that sort of growth, and even if there were, they'd have to be falling out of the bloody sky to warrant so many satellite launches.

I thought they were built to be reusable :<

I'm putting my KSP in my brain memory. There's only 200mb left now, hmm... Goodbye, childhood.

[Nutt007]

I think I know what to model for Kerbal now.

There are a few methods of doing it, depending on whether you want to use plugins for it or not.
