YOU SAID KERBALS DON'T HAVE SOULS, BUT KERBIS IS A MUN PEOPLE!!!!!

No I didn't (Not all Kerbals are kerbalnauts), no he isn't (The KN's opinions are irrelevant to physics), and this is getting old. Stop it.


Sentient Bowtie, you have his spot now since he doesn't want it. Please submit a turn.

[SOLDIER First]

Uh..
vehicle engineers can make enw vehicle parts, right?
If they can, design storage module for spy satellite.
If not, design rocket to launch spy satellite.

[BFEL]

Fine

Name: Kerbon BonKer
Proffession: Systems Engineer

Uh..

They can, but take a -1 penalty.

[SOLDIER First]

Thought system engineers meant things like life support.
Anyway, FFF
Design storage module for spy satellite.

[BFEL]

Yeah Nirur there seems to be some heavy duty confusion between Vehicle Engineers and Systems Engineers. No one knows what either one is good at.

Could you give us some clarifying?

[Nirur Torir]

Systems engineers make parts (engines, fuel tanks, spycams)
Vehicle engineers put parts together to make (or upgrade) vehicles (rockets, spaceplanes, rovers).

To expand their role, I suppose I'll allow either to make chassis or certain payloads (spysats, advanced missile weapons) at no penalty.

[IronyOwl]

Right, right.

While this food cooker will revolutionize cuisine aboard our craft, we still need cheaper panels to power the systems with. Get to work on that.

{5} - Samus designs a consumer car. It is a very good car. {6} - Kerbals everywhere jump at the chance to own a car made by a space agency. KSP can expect to reap profits from this for years to come.
KSP *++, permanent.

{3} - Robert von Kerman works out the design for a slightly more efficient, yet grossly unstable, fuel.

{3} - Trowah tapes a picture in the break room, where everyone capable of designing it will see it. By the end of the day, it has been torn down and thrown out, leading to much heartbreak.

{1}-1-0 - Lyle Kirber attempts to design a storage module for satellites. {1} - The springs he uses are an order of magnitude too strong. The steel block he used to test the device is fatally driven through him and hits a fuel pipe. The entire design facility goes down in flames.

{2}-1=1 - While sasha is trying to struggle with the generator powering the facility to see her academic papers, the building explodes around her.

{1} - While clicking his pen wildly, K. Kerm fails to notice the building being destroyed around him.


Deaths this turn:
Lyle Kirber, Sasha Kerblore, K. Kerm

Replacements:
Kirrom - Squidgen - Kerbalnaut
? - Sentient Bowtie - ? ((New player death/empty waiting list))
Kerbon BonKer BFEL - Systems Engineer ((Do remember that this is not fantasy. It may become soft-ish sci-fi soon, but there will be no magic ghosts.))

The base commander decides to rebuild the design facility. Again.

{4} - Transistors have been invented! Such an advanced technology is sure to allow many exciting new discoveries!
{1} - Your evil counterparts in the terrible KN launch something into orbit.

Why you should join Kerbal Space Program, in 100 words or less: I can give those Kerbalnauts oxygen.
Kerbalnauts love oxygen.

[Coolrune206]

Use my new budget to create a prototype rocket-tank. You know, whatever they call that place they store the crew for the explosion. What's that? We're supposed to LAND them?...

...ALIVE?!

Fine.
Put together a vehicle that uses a machine gun and a rocket bomb to fight. Sell it to the military and get ready to use it against KN.

[10ebbor10]

Ok, fair. That car was a good idea. A very good idea. We really should build a rocket now though._{Because last time I checked, this was KSP, not You're a military engineer}

Make a modificated version of the Spycam, which uses digital systems and radar and radio signal interception rather than visuals.

*Request an employee training center to be build.

((The Rocket bomb is a V-1. Or a V-2. I dunno. It's slightly larger than your average tank. Or your large tank, for that matter.))

[Coolrune206]

Hmm... I'll make a crew capsule designed for hard landings. It can only fit 2 people, but is heavily reinforced with cushions, cats, and butter. And all other soft things.

[squidgen]

Start creation of the strutgun. Using it on spacecraft will apply many, many struts and make it much safer.

[BFEL]

Work on creating lighter materials for ship parts.
