I don't get this whole brony hate.

I seriously don't understand why you can't let someone enjoy something that doesn't need to affect you in any way, it's childish and annoying.

If you don't hate it, you don't have to get angry at it, and it's easier to ignore it. <- This works for me, you should try it.[/QUOTE]

Because boredom. It's really my fault, but nobody likes blaming themselves.

I don't hate bronys as a rule, but obnoxious people, like the guy there with the animated brony avatar and giant animated brony signature, deserve it most of the time.

Well when we trolled Tim, its because he was being a complete douchebag.

Not because he's a fan of a show for little girls.

But I'll bet you don't go about loudly and publicly proclaiming that you're a fan of it, which is why Brony's get so much hate, a lot of them are "HEY LOOK AT ME AND LOOK AT WHAT I'M A FAN OF"

There's being a fan, then theres being kinda obsessive.

Still not sure
I think if someone recognized from the avatar they would already be a fan

I think the drawn pornography of horses probably factors into the hate somewhat.

I laugh at all those stories of people who land on the Mun but forgot their parachute.

Last night I landed a little too hard on the moon. The pod and some rockets survived, but the parachute fell off the top of the capsule.

I will never laugh at those stories again.

The launch escape tower is ready for texturing.

It doesn't seem to work very well though for some reason. Its thrust is set at 1000 but it has a hard time lifting that capsule in the picture more than a few meters into the air.

[cpt.armadillo]

Well does it have enough fuel? Is the capsule really heavy?

It works with some capsules but not others.

[Chubbs]

[QUOTE=-Xemit-;34230382]There's a weird issue with escape towers in this game. The thrust doesn't seem to work when its vector intersects other parts. I don't know how Sunday Punch managed to make his one work but to make one for my Noyuz I had to split it in two and set the thrust vector at an angle. Unfortunately that approach requires an extra part with two attachment point on top. If I were to do it, I would separate the cone and those bars to make a strut/decoupler, split the rocket part in half and give the strut two places for the rockets to connect. I did it like that with the Noyuz LES and I think it works quite good.[/QUOTE]

Sunday Punches' one worked because of how multiple command pods were handled iirc.

Harv really needs to add a negative sign to the altimeter. When I go submersible diving, I don't want to see my altitude tick up.

Diving with the Vanguard is so much fun.

[lordcrypto]

Finally got around to preordering KSP. Do you guys think I was cutting it a bit close?

[lordcrypto]

Does anyone know what parts packs are in the Vanguard Launcher demo .craft? I can't really build anything in the VAB because I crash before anything gets done.

My first working Lander was a huge success today

I just landed on the Mun for the first time a few hours ago. After I landed I decided to use my RCS thrusters to power my lander and explore the Mun. I quickly forgot what the RCS controls were and spun out of control and managed to land on one peg and then fall on my side. I said fuck it and jammed full throttle and turned my lander to a hill. My lander moving 60 M/S and being slammed into the ground (a feat which causes most to blow up in 2 seconds) hit a small bump which tore off my parachute and my main RCS tanks then a few seconds later the lander reached the top of the hill and gained altitude. My original plan was to use the decent booster and what fuel was left to maneuver towards Kearth and using my RCS thrusters to assist me were I would then be using the Parachute with the RCS to land with the lander full intact. Instead I used what was left of my RCS and some of my descent booster to get a shitty trajectory that had me flying through Kearth's atmosphere at 3,000 m/s straight into the ground. Somehow my lander's engine with about a maximum thrust rating of 12 and about 1/5 of its fuel left combined with my auxiliary RCS fuel tank that was almost empty slowed it down were I was then able to use what I had left to land.

Best ship I ever made

I also took a screenshot of the craft before the incident but forgot to take more later regrettably since I was too focused on saving my crew :v:

Oh man, that node part.

[editline]15th January 2012[/editline]

I made it even better. Now it spins on its own. Unfortunately this caused the whole thing to fling itself to pieces. So I added engines to push the nodes inwards and keep it all together.

[quote]THE SUCCESSFUL MUN LANDING INDEX

1. The lander has utilized legs or wheels to stop movement on the Mun's surface without damaging the lander.
2. The lander is not confirmed to be out of fuel or incapable of lifting off from the surface (so missions that ended with missing Kerbin or blowing up in the ocean still count if the Mun landing was successful.)

Also, I didn't count any landings by a single craft more than once, but it appears that the Challenger LRM has been to the Mun more than any other craft in this thread. Single people may show up more than once if they land in a unique craft each time.
