If you get above the speed of light, I'll be highly impressed.
Can someone mod in engines which are easily capable of reaching lightspeed? Or perhaps someone already has..
You're probably going to rip your ship apart if you'd give it enough acceleration to quickly reach it. Which is interesting in it's own right XD

Reminds me I made a ship that bounced on its own on the launch pad... The bouncing increased until she ship broke apart. At which point I ignited it for a huge kaboom launch at 16ish G.

I've done it! Well, very nearly. I launched myself into orbit and very delicately adjusted my orbit with thrusters to be as circular as possible, aswell as just beyond the edge of the atmosphere.

Apoapsis: 35,108m at 2357.8m/s
Periapsis: 34,784m at 2359.0m/s

I exploded my rocket off the pad and it survived! Only made it to about 5k meters, though.

I have phased out the Neptune series rockets for a more stable and productive Nova series.
I can reach ~100 thousand km with two stages now instead of 3 because of bug fixes.
Nova I reaches 800 thousand km with still enough fuel left to turn around and get back to the planet easily.
by Nova IV we are projected to double or triple that.

Heh, I built a 2 stage srb only rocket which can be successfully set into orbit, but only the 10% of the time it doesn't have a resonating failure or hit itself or simply explode randomly on the way up. Though it isn't a very good orbit, nor is there any maneuvering fuel left, as it is all srb.

The fun rockets are the ones which start with an epic failure of a design and are tweaked until just under the 100% failure rate. :D

Yeah I'll get a few up, way too tired for anything still.
I averaged out 400+ pushups a day over the last 6 days.
That doesn't even include the running or ab workouts I also did.

I'm too tired to deal with this, printscreen won't take pictures of the game, just my desktop when the game runs.

A friend of mine berates me for showing this game to him, because it's now nearly the only thing he plays now.  :P

I tried to make a neato screenshot that had my command pod next to the sun with all the lens flares and stuff and was going to caption "Someday..." but I fucked it up. :C

On a separate note, this game is awesome.

Whoever made those parts really needs to fix up the connectors.

It's too bad that the connection fragility you're complaining about is currently hard-coded, then.

I guess hes referring to the devs then. Obv.

"Whoever made those parts" does not refer to the devs when he's specifically talking about third-party parts, obviously.
