When you say you deleted the install, did you do it through Steam or manually go to the install location and delete the files there? Steam only removes the things it adds or something to that effect. It leaves stuff behind all the time when you remove it via the client.

darnon posted:You could always use one of the Romfarer mods for its increased vessel activity distance plus something like the Klockheed Martin altimeters or RealChute to automatically deploy parachutes. That seems to be the way to do it currently, but the game really needs to redo the parameters for despawning parts if returning them grants decent returns. The game already calculated the positioning of objects outside your operating area although they are on rails. If I were to set if up, you could shunt parts into a temporary craft type that deletes itself once certain parameters are met. The game knows how and where parts will be at any given time that aren't being influenced by the player. Here's how I see it working:
Depending on how it's put into the game, a massive launch stage being decoupled at once could seriously lag the game, but that could be slightly offset by doing the checks and calculations at the time of building or as the launch loads. Just a thought.

* New UI Toolbar: User interfaces in the game have been vastly overhauled, but the largest addition is the new app toolbar, which can be seen in most scenes now, and holds buttons to flip between the messages, resources, currencies and contract panels. Also, it's mod-friendly. Will this have a huge Paypal donate button on it? If not, I'm modding one in; it just isn't the same without it. * Budget Essentials: Career Mode is greatly expanded now by the addition of Funds and Reputation. Funds are required to launch vessels, and reputation is earned (and lost) by doing contracts (or failing them). In this release, your reputation is already used to regulate the level and amount of contracts offered you. Lower reputation means fewer and less prestigious contract offers, while high reputation means more and more ambitious proposals. Does Reputation degrade over time? Also, is there a cap? If not it seems that you could do a couple of high profile (or several easy) missions and live off of that for some time. If you're forced to constantly renew rep, that could be used to add a layer of difficulty to the campaign. Warbird fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Jul 10, 2014 |

Captain Postal posted:That mechanic could really suck if you get around at max warp waiting for the next burn on long multi-year flights like I do. Unless it degraded per launch or something. My reasoning was the same as Arsonide was saying. If you sit on your rear end for too long, the public interest is going to wane. Now ideally the first for anything would garner huge amounts of rep (first Mun, Minmus, Duna, ect) and then repeats of the event would generate smaller returns. I imagine it could be a toggle-able sort of functionality for difficulty's sake.

Palicgofueniczekt posted:You appearing as a negative Nancy can take this discussion on the use of commas whether substantiated or not to the appropriate languages discussion forum. You misunderstand me, I'm making the same point as Splode and Psawhn; the text is a bit odd, but I prefer odd. The same way I love engrish from older Japanese NES and SNES games. Semi-random generation of content is extremely tricky, even more so to get it to produce ascetically pleasing content. Throw in the fact that it's dealing with language with all its assorted rules and things get weird fast. If the generator pushes out perfectly structured sentences that would make Timothy Zahn cry, that's great! If not, I'm going to read and enjoy it regardless. And I know Max has been to Duna, I just like giving him a hard time.

If they're using a known resource for the data collection that's easily viewable, that's not too bad. However they should make it apparent from the get go and have an easily accessible opt-out process for people that don't want that stuff.Solid Poopsnake posted:People actually playing the game: How are the new contracts working out so far? Unfortunately, I have about 7 hours before I can play this. They're pretty good. The generator may need a bit of tweaking in later patches, but it's enjoyable. The best part is that you don't have to grind for science like you used to for the first few missions. The bulk of the missions are "test X at Y altitude and Z speeds" starting out, but you also get "Rescue Kerbal from oribit" as well as milestone objectives for orbit, landings, and whatnot.

DStecks posted:Show me one person who actually has gotten malware from Majiir's servers being hacked and I'll retract my statement. Let's say you have a wad of cash of a decent amount. You decide to leave that wad of cash on your back porch, because no one in your town would do such a thing as taking something that belongs to you, and they may not. Who cares? It's your money. Now say you and everyone you know decides to put your money in the bank. The bank claims that they're secure and that no one can mess with them. However, we all know banks can be robbed, that's the whole point of the FDIC. It's kind of an important deal. Majiir's running an uninsured bank. Sure it may be secure now, or may not even have anything worth taking, but that doesn't matter. Chucklefuck has EVERYONE'S money and more often than not put it in his bank without asking to begin with. If I had voluntarily put my money in there knowing the risk, then that would be on me. However his bank has the interesting ability to take my money even when I don't want it to and has become quite upset when I tell them I don't want to. Remember the last time a group of bankers with a large amount of other people's resources started to gently caress around with said people's resources without their knowledge or consent? It's all fine and good until something bad happens and EVERYTHING goes to poo poo. More pertinatly, IT Sec is not about responding to a problem, it's preventing the problem from happening to begin with. The balance of security vs usability is the ongoing fight that anyone in the field is intimately familiar with. If someone wants to play fast and loose with their data, that's perfectly ok. If they want to do the same with MY data, that's no good.

Cannot Find Server posted:Every time I play KSP, my eventual goal is to have a bangin' system of stations around the Jool system, but I never get further than a Minmus refueling depot before I give up. I just can't build heavy lifters that can make it to Jool even with refueling. Tips? Show us your current heavy lifter and we can go from there. Assembling in orbit is necessary for larger projects; toss a few together and send up a interplanetary engine block and you got yourself a Jool station waiting to happen.

I've always felt that the lab should be able to contain completed experiments rather than just transmit them after messing with them. That way you could justify sending out motherships out to SOIs with several probes to access the assorted biomes (eventually) and moons. Then once you're done you haul the lab and crew back to Kerbin and land it. Given the lab and hitchhiker modules sizes and masses, the logistics would present a challenge for the players willing to attempt it. EDIT- Disregard, I am an idiot.

haveblue posted:The ram could just be going bad. That would be a result of the heat, not necessarily a cause. Improper ventilation is what I most often see in relation to this, but that is on a by user basis. The best I can recommend is to make sure your fan is operating correctly and that you have adequate airflow to the device. You may also consider reapplication of thermal paste, but this should be done by a professional in most instances. In lieu if that, take it to Apple. What specs do you have on your machine?
