Would it be too offtopic for me to ask why all you guys know orbital physics so well?

Most of us /don't/. It's just stuff like orbits are kinda simple, once you figure out what height you need to be at and how fast you need to be traveling in what is essentially down. Other then that, I don't think much physics has come up.

Now that I have a certifiably space-ready craft, it's time for lulz.
First off, something I'm calling the Roundabout.

Is that just the capsule attached to some liquid fuel with a booster on it? If so, then I can see why they're scared.

Looks like that poison wasn`t good for their eyes at all.

Far too little thrust for far too big a rocket + space bar spam = *poink* PERFECT LANDING WITHOUT PARACHUTE

The previous try got me 50 some G's and that wasn't what killed the crew.

I find it hilarious that, when my rocket fails miserably, my crew, who I manage to save, are all grinning like that was the most awesome thing ever. :P

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

How did you manage to just tack those boosters onto the sides without breakaways?

Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion, that violence has never solved anything, is wishful thinking at its worst.

I have no idea how to answer that, because I have no idea how you're not.
I just put them there?

So, how do I have a "successful" mission (or is there one)? I've had a command module land on the ground unharmed, but it still keep going till I quit and it says "mission aborted manually".

Also, can I unlock some of those parts you're using or do I have to download them from SA or wherever?

-There are no win conditions (yet?).  It's a sandbox game.

-All parts are unlocked from the start.  If you don't have something, it's third party.
