Man every time you post this stuff it makes me want to stop playing until the new update hits  But seriously  this owns, now we need more runways around Kerbin so we can play Kerbal Flight Simulator 2015.

Well, adding -force-d3d11 in my KSP launch options does some weird things. I mean, it saves a ton of memory, but then halfway into my launch this happened:    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570 CPU @ 3.20GHz Running 32-bit KSP. Parts pack mods, plus RemoteTech, Active Texture Management.

Oh god yes. Tell me this can fit 2.5m parts inside the cargo bays The cockpit really wants rcs thrusters like the b9 cockpits. Falken fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Nov 25, 2014 |

haveblue posted:Europa receives far less sunlight than Mars, for one thing. Total sunlight doesn't matter as much once you get out of the habitable zone, because at that point you have plenty of light to see with but you have to start doing other crazy things to improve insolation/thermal energy on your body of choice.

Now if only the wings had fuel tanks, spaceplanes, imo would be complete.

Are we ever going to see larger-scale (Mk2/Mk3) air-breathing engines and such? e: I guess by "and such" I mostly mean intakes. It's annoying to have to cobble together lots of adapters and nacelles and stuff to get several Mk1 engines and intakes mounted on a larger form-factor plane.

I can't believe that I'm only now discovering I can change staging while in flight. I knew I could do it on the launch pad, never occurred to me to try elsewhere.

The auto-aligning landing wheels should be stock. Or, if not stock, then mentioned more often. My game has changed drastically since I downloaded them.

Tippis posted:Space elevator. No, I have no idea how you'd work around the simulation range — that's for you to figure out. I want a space onramp so I can drive my space hummer along the space highway to space Mars. Any reasons why you couldn't build a huge ramp (with part mods?) and just drive off into space in Kerbal Space Program? double nine posted:at this point isn't it a safer bet to try terraforming Europa than Mars? I am aware that we know more of mars than of Europa, but even then it looks like a better investment - oxigen in atmosphere, nonscarce water, ... erm. That's all I got sorry. I've read somewhere on the internet, so it's probably false, that we have the technology to start terraforming Mars now, but it's insanely expensive and it would take multiple generations to ever see a difference to begin with. So it's pointless since we'd just later on invent a better, cheaper, faster ways shortly after starting it. Also, you may destroy

So it's pointless since we'd just later on invent a better, cheaper, faster ways shortly after starting it. The basics of terraforming as we currently think of them are definitely achievable with current technology, but actually getting anything done on a planetary scale would take hundreds of years or more. But yeah, we can definitely start laying the foundations now. Don't get me started about how far we could be on Mars by now, it's depressing to think about where we could be versus where we are. Then again, we did just land a loving washing machine on a loving comet, so that's pretty impressive in and of itself.

After 407 hours, I decided it was time to visit Gilly. I've never been there, and RoverDude's parts mods have reinvigorated me a bit. First, we have to use the Supahfly REBOOSTED to ascend off of Kerbin.  (17 engines means you go fast) Setting up our transfer to the Interplanetary Ring.  Why, hello there.  Let's kiss.  I WANT YOU INSIDE ME  Since I'm playing with RemoteTech (with signal delay turned off), this is a good time to make a Gilly repeater.  Four LV-Nc's make this a 16 minute transfer burn.  Did I say 15 minute? I mean 56 minute. And the way it's designed means I can't use physics acceleration   <BORING INTERPLANETARY CORRECTIONS GO HERE> Arrival at Gilly!  A very careful circularization burn. Down to 14m/s!  The Supahfly undocks from the Interplanetary ring  My most-travelled kerbal, Jenny, leaves the ring to board the landing craft.  All systems check out good.   Descent is painfully slow.  Jenny seems happy.  And she's (he's?) off to explore the surface!  Just don't turn off Sticky Feet. It doesn't work out well.   Now, the Supahfly REBOOSTED has 1.7k dV left, though I'm sure I could re-dock with the Interplanetary Ring and use up its fuel if I had to. I wonder where I should go next?

Yes please, it would be fantastic if we had wheels strong enough that the plane didn't careen wildly off the side of the runway during takeoff due to being grossly overloaded

I decided to clear out all the unused stations and ships in orbit around Kerbin, which meant 5 guys needed to find their way back home. Trying to keep both capsules together the entire way down was a lot more fun than it should have been, using RCS they were never more than 40m apart from first burn to landing.
