Kerbal Space Program, or: "How many rockets can I slap onto this thing?" - Games

[QUOTE=cpt.armadillo;33001260]Read a book. Read another book. Go to bed. Read a book, go to school, ect. Look at results.[/QUOTE] It's 9:30 here, and if my (WolframAlpha's) calculations are correct, I need to wait until 5PM tomorrow. I also have a ten-page paper due Tuesday. Kerbal Space Program: Helping with Procrastination Since 2011. [editline]27th October 2011[/editline] Also, does anyone know how long Kerbals can go without food/water/air? I don't think they made it to day 8,000.

5% at 13,500 days. I'll update you tomorrow after I finish my paper and school.

Lol, I totally forgot we had a Steam group.

Overall, I'm quite happy for it. Although the first stage needs a bit of fine piloting to keep straight up.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have some news I need to share. After 20 hours of unsupervised spaceflight in order to reach one light year, I have just arrived home from class. I turned on my monitors at Mission Control to see the progress made by our brave-yet-dead kerbalnauts. Required post music: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xswbTQeatfY[/media] Ladies and gentlemen, it is with a heavy heart that I inform you that on this day, Friday, the 28th of October of the Earth year 2011, that I have failed. All of the screens at mission control were black; no instruments, no crew vitals, no altimeter, nothing. It seems that after more than 13 thousand days in the inky blackness of space, three heroic Kerbals gave their lives in vain. On behalf of everyone here at the Kerbal Space Center, I apologize to the long-dead families of these heroes, the team monitoring the flight at Mission Control, and to the public for ruining their hopes of breaking new boundaries. Perhaps light years are just a barrier that is never meant to be broken. Thank you for your time, and to end this speech, I present to you the last photo taken of these brave souls. May they rest in peace. [url=http://i.imgur.com/NAy6v.png][img]http://i.imgur.com/k5XiQ.jpg[/img][/url] [sp]Click for original[/sp]

[QUOTE=Dacheet;33011902] [/QUOTE] They didn't need eyes where they were going.

So I got some fairings pack but I'm confused as to what part to attach them to. Can anyone help?

Which pack did you get?

[QUOTE=LarparNar;33013037]Which pack did you get?[/QUOTE] I have Saturn V right now and Sunday Punch (I got a link that was working from the forums) woops PLF as well

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;33013245]I have Saturn V right now and Sunday Punch (I got a link that was working from the forums) woops PLF as well[/QUOTE] Yeah, I guess it's the PLF pack you might be using then. I'm watching CSI right now, but I might take a few screenshots of how to do it later. Unless someone else tells you.

Ah never mind I got it, had to use the square things. Thanks

[QUOTE=Sega Saturn;33013903][img]http://i.imgur.com/wbwXu.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] This is a legitimate and safe rocket design.

I can't for the life of me get the Saturn V to take off (atleast the bottom stage). It always veers one way and I can't swing it back around. :(

I want a mod that makes the CM explosion a little bigger, as in nuclear blast big, i want to make an ICBM and bomb the shit out of Kerbussia.

[QUOTE=zombini;33017538]I want a mod that makes the CM explosion a little bigger, as in nuclear blast big, i want to make an ICBM and bomb the shit out of Kerbussia.[/QUOTE] You and me both. Holy shit, its 10:55. Bed time.

Hmm so I decided, like most people, to make a rocket to go to Mun. First thing I did was practice landing the lunar lander [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11517902/test.png[/img] Build my rocket [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11517902/ship.png[/img] And finally used my rocket (after testing it reaches escape velocity) to have an extended lunar lander test [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11517902/extended.png[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11517902/extendedout.png[/img] I forgot how addicting KSP was, 1:20 AM time for bed

oh wow [img]http://localhostr.com/file/UafJJlh/HOW.png[/img] Didn't expect that :v: Also, anyone managed a "vanilla" parts moon rocket yet?

[QUOTE=scratch (nl);33022288]oh wow [IMG]http://localhostr.com/file/UafJJlh/HOW.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE] Holy [I]crap[/I]

Are those cover thingies for stages available anywhere? I've been searching around but can only find tanks and engines, but every next image got landers and those cover things.

[QUOTE=LarparNar;33022298]Holy [I]crap[/I][/QUOTE] I'd give you a "Licensed Kerbal" title, but I'm fresh out of cash. Have this golf-clap instead: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAEA1KzDynI[/media]

CaptainSlug is amazing, he makes semiauto gas powered nerf blasters...
