Can we ever get a view of minumus eclipsing the Mun eclipsing Kerbin, all eclipsing Kerbol?
Because that would be awesome.

No, because minmus is outside mun orbit, duh

[Girlinhat]

I don't think it's possible.  Minmus is on a tilted orbit, and I don't think that tilt lets it line up with the sun.

[Rose]

Sure it is. It's just less often.

[TheBronzePickle]

Even the most eccentric orbit of a single body must at least twice line up with any other orbit that body is involved in, whether it's something orbiting that body or something that body is orbiting.

It could easily take quite a while if you've got a lot of orbits that don't have harmonic frequencies (or could, potentially, be impossible if they are almost harmonic but don't actually line up with one another) but it's nearly always possible given that harmonic orbits are extremely rare.

[Putnam]

"At least" is more like "either exactly twice or all the time"

Just in case people haven't seen it: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/88445-0-24-2-Fine-Print-v0-54a-Bug-Fixes-Balancing-Satellite-Deployment-%28August-8%29
More missions.

You know its a good mod when your first reaction is "oh, the devs did an update already?"

Anyway, I just discovered the best thing. I no longer have to reposition all those toolbars in every new save! WOOTS.

EDIT: Ok, I think I have officially failed KSP. Down to 3000 kerbucks, lost Jeb on the first flight, then lost Bill and Bob to other shenanigans with a cursed test craft. Did I mention I haven't reached orbit yet?

Yeah, FAR is REALLY hardcore on IRONKERBAL mode.

You ever get module manager fucking up, saying something is in the wrong spot?

Spoiler: Image of what I mean will be here soon... (click to show/hide)

Fuck you dropbox loading slowness.

Just lost my two veteran Kerbals trying to complete two of the aerial observation missions from that mod that was just linked. I had just completed one mission and had to perform a 90 degree turn at mach 4.5 to move on to the next one. The plane had proven pretty stable while performing high g turns in the past but I guess I was flying too low or going too fast this time. I just saw the g-force meter jump as the plane really cut into the air, and then it disintegrated. I may have been able to save one of the pilots if they were falling over land, but it was over water and nothing could prevent total destruction.

One of the kerbals was the first to land on the Mun, the other the first on Minmus. They were my only real veterans after all the others died even more stupid deaths. They weren't even supposed to be on this mission, I just made some small adjustments to the plane and forgot to reset the crew. They were flying over the North pole before I noticed.

[Vattic]

At least they died doing what they loved.

rip in peace neverforget ;_;7

[Sean Mirrsen]

Two veteran hotshot space pilots, on a boring mission to the middle of nowhere, crash their plane due to accidentally exceeding its structural limits?

It may be tragic, but written out like that it sounds like a case of "hold my beer and watch this".

Bleh, still having problems with B9. Now there are duplicate parts and if I try to use any of them, they refuse to attach and get the game stuck in the VAB, unable to place any parts or leave. I tried taking out the whole B9 folder but somehow a set of the glitched parts remained, still with their models and everything. I have no idea where the game is storing them if not there.

[BigD145]

Use a new ksp install and start over.

[nogoodnames]

It's not that much of an issue, certainly not worth the effort of restarting and re-installing all of my mods. I just have to avoid using the glitched parts.
