Yeah, all the new and improved models are made by a previous madder.

Henceforth all modders will be known as madders. It is the best name.

Mods make up a large part of the content out there right now. The modpack I'm using is so big it now takes long enough to load the game that I can watch two or three youtube videos before being able to play.

Holy crap. I hope you have enough RAM for all that stuff.

My 4gb is woefully inadequate.

I love my 8 gig and my SSD, never take to long to load anything and on the off-chance computer need my pagefile, well SSD.

SSD?
I think your in the wrong thread... no space sleep disorder here.

SSD = Solid-State Drive. It's a kind of hard drive.

Woosh the joke goes, right over the head.

Or perhaps you shouldn't assume that everyone knows what SSDs are.

On a totally unrelated note to the recent discussion, going back instead to the plane of spinny-ness, it occurs to me that having a large, rapidly rotating mass concentrated largely at the outside (I think) miiiight not be good for my maneuverability. In many circles, that's called a gyroscope.

Or more likely, the game just is like lolphysics.

Hmm... I wish I had a streamline rotating-fuselage-piece thing (something that attached to the top and bottom rigidly, but stuff on the sides rotates freely), so I  could, say, try this with Ferram Aerospace or something, since my problems might well be lolaerodynamics.

[ank]

The whole idea is silly, but that's a reason alone to try and build it in KSP

[Aseaheru]

Oh... woops.
never heard of a solid state drive called a SSD and i have been playing FAR toomuch SS13 recently...

I managed to get a spacedock into orbit, complete with a nuclear reactor, excessive amounts of docking ports, and spare tanks for all kinds of fuel. It even has enough storage for 600 spare parts.

The original design was much heavier and had kethane refining facilities on board, but it was far too heavy to get off Kerbin. It was going to Minmus anyway, so it'd probably be more efficient to just assemble a kethane mine there and launch the refined product up to the station.

So we have Solar, Lunar (or Munar) and Kerbal orbits. What is Minmus? Minmul?

[Dutchling]

Got a refueling 'shuttle' on the Mun, that can refuel around 1 large double tank worth of fuel. Perhaps a little more, but I want to be sure I have enough fuel left to land on Mun again

[DrPoo]

What is most economic? Transporting kethane to an orbital refining plant, or refining on the surface and transporting refined products to orbit?

It will mostly be for spareparts production, for my independent Joolian colony.

EDIT: will ships spawn with crew and fuel and is there an option for spawning at a drydock without fuel?

[10ebbor10]

Converting on the surface means that you only need to move a few small tanks, instead of several large ones.

[forsaken1111]

Honestly it almost doesn't matter where you convert it, because the mass doesn't change much. When making spareparts from kethane you lose something like 2% of the mass if you're using the config I made and posted, so you still have to move that mass to its final destination no matter where it was created. 1000 Kethane = 1 weight unit, 1 spareparts = 1 weight unit. 1000 kethane = like 0.98 spareparts.
