[QUOTE=HarvesteR;31040166]Well, the websitey stuff is improving, slowly but surely. We got the main page up again, but the Forums and Wiki are offline. We still have to migrate the databases over to the new host. The dev blog is online, though.
But in this short lapse of time that the site's been up again, we've moved over 46GB. :rock:

So.. can you tell us more about your long term plans? Or is it all hushy-hushy secret.
Just so you guys know, you spelled inconvenience wrong on the download page.
I made all three of them happy. And terrified as all fuck.
I got to 200,000 with 3 liquid boosters once I reached space, running on pure momentum from 200,000 KM I've made it to 400,000 and still going.
[QUOTE=Hashmere;31040192]I went and flipped the tri-coupler around so you can go back and forth between tri and single rockets.

Because the way the ship builder is, only one node will attach so under heavy stress, it could bend. Hasn't given me much issue though.

Throw that in 'Parts'.[/QUOTE]
Thats sweet!
Now all we need is a tri thing rotated 180' and we'll be skooting.
I'm going to go test this piece of kit out.

Rocket death spins make them terrified, it's awesome. Also, have you noticed how when the capsule crashes their icons wink out almost one by one?
It's like you're seeing them crash and die individually. :<

Thief, no hard feelings but did you rip my avatar?
Why is there a crew page? Are you planning to add crew members. Also are you planning to make it so you get money for going high or fast or something?

I detect hard feelings.
[QUOTE=Beetle179;31040059]After many revisions, I think I've gotten the best I'll be able to.

Basically a competition of who can have the most boosters on at once, while facing upward.

Did I win?
Derp, annoying how SRBs tend to point inwards so if you jet them while they're firing they tend to tear through the rest of the ship in a rain of destruction.

Lol yes, I know! I was hurrying after the new FTP info to change that. (Alejandro did the move, he's the web guy) It's fixed now.
And no, we weren't expecting this much buzz at all! To give you a sense of how dazed we are, we had estimated, as a best-case-scenario, that by the end of the month there would be about 900 downloads total. Before the site died our tracker had over 10,000 downloads logged.

If you want a real challenge, try to build a rocket that can hover around, and try to land on top of the tower.
It took me about 10 tries to get the landing above, because bumping the tower always knocks parts off.
Awesome game though, I told a friend about it.

The tower gets annoying with tall crafts using that orange fuel tank, because if it takes off at a lean the tower likes to knock things like SRBs and vital stabilisation boosters off the side of the rokkit.

Yeah, the plan is to make choosing your crew possible. But in all probability, it won't be through the VAB. That's there as a placeholder I guess, since we'll likely make a dedicated area (like a screen or something) to lineup your crew. Bob, Bill and Jeb won't be the only victims available.
Cheers

How did you end up finding FP?
probably saw that all the traffic from here brought his server to it's knees
Ok I used big thrusters to get high, now I am using just one liquid engine and fuel pod and have the throttle really low to just keep going in the low gravity.

Another successful landing. This one hovers pretty well.
If the rockets weren't so prone to falling off when you land, it would be perfect.

Landed on the other building too.

When he got all those downloads he probably checked to see who was linking to his site.
I love Jeb.
Uploading a vidya of my spacecraft.
Been playing this for about 6 hours no instability at all.
I'm running the latest ATI 5850 drivers
Oh man that was rad. Last booster dropped off at 110k. Holy 2400 m/s batman
[img]http://i.imgur.com/LkDNl.jpg[/img]
And started going down at 480,000

Didn't use any of the extra parts yet, gonna try and use those and see how much farther I could go with those.
