Hahahahahaha.
An SAS module with winglets in 12-sided symmetry configuration can fly without any power source.
The kerbals have invented self-sustaining flight before we have!
How does it get off the ground, though?

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Is 0.8.1 more CPU-intensive for anyone else? I get low fps spikes which I didn't get before (not I don't mean the 60fps cap)  May just a hiccup with my system but putting it out there.

Hey, is there any chance we can map the scroll wheel to a key or something?  I dont have one of those on my laptop, and cant make Teh Biggenest rockets without it.

Most laptops don't have a scroll wheel, its on the mouse. ;)

On the laptop I used you could move your finger up and down the side of the touchpad and it acted as a scroll wheel.

Detached items are floating. Cannot be deleted. Ctrl Z fixed it.
Detached items are floating again. Cannot be deleted. Ctrl Z did not fix it.
Command capsule could not be dropped once selected.
"Detached items are floating"? -- I sure hope you're not considering the new feature that makes it such that we don't have to delete everything to add a part in the middle a bug.
I said that wrong. I accidentally omitted "And cannot be selected at all afterwards". They're just stuck there.

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.

I think those high-capacity ball tanks are a little too overpowered. I was able to get a stable orbit with one of those, one thruster, and an SAS module to keep it steady.

I think basically all parts that actually work are at this point "overpowered".  Especially since they were just modded in as proof of concept, like everything else.  I'm sure once the engine is much farther along and HarvesteR has better established what's actually expected of stuff, the modded stuff will come more in line with an actual challenge.

I think they're a lot of fun though.  I made a rocket exactly like that, and just made a low-speed thrust cruise around the countryside, and returned to the pad.  Crashed on landing though, didn't leave enough altitude for the chute to deploy.

No, it doesn't help at all. But at least it's going to be fixed next version.

Have they made the component connections more... brittle? I had a ship last version that took off like a dream, albeit bending at odd angles and swinging back and forth like a pendulum. Now it just tears itself apart on the launchpad.

Steam is always good at taking screens, easy and uploads for you. You just have to run it through steam by adding it to your library.
