... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

Apparently for the next 3 weeks they'll be developing 0.9.0.

Careful what you wish for! Muahahahahaha!

(it will be awesome though, new staging system and terrain engine, I expect they'll put up a list soon)

EDIT:
Code: [Select]
Here are the features for the 0.9 release:

Estimated release date: Aug/08

New:
* Massive overhaul on the staging mechanics.
* Input Mapping screen
* Video settings screen
* Audio settings screen
* Mini-settings screen for the in-game pause menu.

BugFixes:


This list will grow as new features and fixes are implemented. Features marked in green are already implemented.

Is there a hight in this game where your astronauts stop loseing momentum? My most successful launches have relied heavily on useing momentum to reach great hights, but I'm wondering if there is a point where they stop loseing it(and just drift in space).

As far as I can tell, there's no way to escape the planet's gravitational influence.

I'm 90% sure you can reach escape velocity.

You can reach a point where gravity is negligible, like losing .1 m/s every minute.

I'm haveing a competition with one of my friends, him and his love of overcomplicateing things and making them effitient, me just doing what seems to work.
His highest is 400k about so far.
I hit 1 mill 79k, awesome.
My designs have alot of explotions though on the way up due to overheating.
Of course as I said, most of my designs rely on useing pure momentum to get up really high. I think I lost my last engine at 300k for this new personal record.

Hooray! First time actually achieving orbit! Unfortunately I seem to be out of fuel. Went to bed last night and left it running. This morning I see that I've been orbiting for 7+ hours. Think I'll leave it running while I'm at work to see what happens. :) The lowest my orbit gets is raound 97000. I'm not sure what the furthest I get is though.

How the heck did you get to orbit? Mine just drop like rocks.

Theodolus, when you end the flight it'll tell you your peak altitude.
