Gr. My stupid space plane refuses to cooperate during re-entry because it's going to fast. It's a glider and I can't exactly slow it down. What do?

[QUOTE=MC3craze;33454447]Shoot holes in the wings. Try pitching up at some absurd angle, it should stall.[/QUOTE] Well it keeps accelerating until 30km, at which point it slows for about a minute, then has a complete sky-seizure all the way to the ground. Even with ASAS and a 45-degree attitude.

Why did you move me up?

And why not me?

One more step closer to a successful Mun landing and return. Grats.

I crashed into the moon today. Best thing I've managed on KSP since I got it!

[QUOTE=Chris220;33454774]I crashed into the moon today. Best thing I've managed on KSP since I got it![/QUOTE] Now attempt a landing. Its pretty easy as long as you bleed off as much lateral movement as possible.

Harvester said [quote]Life support modules are a planned feature already. Although not as micro-simulated as suggested... Toothbrushes aren't exactly the top priority on a lunar base designer's mind. ;)l As far as life support aboard spacecraft goes (and this could also apply to surface bases and stations as well), I had planned a simple, but hopefully gamey mechanic: Life support requires power to operate, and will consume it's internal stores at a constant rate, depending on number of crewmembers aboard. There could also be self-regenerating life support modules, like hydroponics plants or algae cultures, but those would be really heavy and expensive. Probably not suitable for spacecraft use. Power comes from either fuel cells or solar panels. Solar panels work best in a vacuum, where solar radiation is strongest. Fuel cells work just about anywhere, but they eventually run out. There could also be nuclear power sources later on in the game, but it would be expensive and much heavier. Power is managed as an input and output flow, as opposed to currency. Power can be stored by using batteries, but if batteries are full, any surplus power production is wasted. Other spacecraft systems will also require power to operate. SAS modules use electric motors to drive their internal momentum wheels and gyros, so they go through a lot of juice while on, especially if they're straining. Several other parts will also use power to some extent, so you will have to carefully manage power consumption and storage if you want to keep life support running. All this is just conceptual at this point, but it should be a fun mechanic to have in the game. There are a lot of aspects of this that still need designing (mainly how to present this on the game UI), but I think it can work well. Cheers[/quote] I can honestly say this is the first game I've played where I don't feel like I have to post suggestions on the forums in the hopes that devs will do something competent. These guys have been steadily churning out good features that the community loves. Their pocketbooks will thank them for this in the future.

Hey guise. Saturn V flight computer here. Not even enough power to run your calculator calculations quickly but big as your swimming pool. Kthxbai. [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/82/IU-501_Apollo_4.jpg/782px-IU-501_Apollo_4.jpg[/IMG]

How about you guys kindly shut the fuck up and post something actually related to the thread (that isn't some sort of post wankery?) Like my attempt at orbiting the mun [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/u4LDl.png[/IMG] I've forgotten how I managed to get to the Mun V:v:V

Woo succesful mun landing with the LEM without falling over or being upsidedown! [img]http://i.imgur.com/uwZ4n.png[/img] Victory music time! [video=youtube;z3Th44mmeXI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Th44mmeXI&feature=related[/video]

Why do I always seem to miss the majority of the posts (ITT)? A whole page passed when I was gone.

Somebody please give me some links to some awesome mods I should get?
