for 1.0 I'm planning to use Near Future Technologies, roverdude's whole colonization line, and TAC LS. Beyond that I probably won't use much. MAYBE Remotetech but its often more of a pain in the ass than fun.

Back when I worked at burger king, we kinda had an "absurd idea contest" among crewmembers over a week.   The rules were that the idea had to be fairly absurd, but physically possible.

I was playing a lot of MS Flight Simulator then and was inspired by a mod I saw for a Shield helicarrier. (this was before the movies) So my idea was a flying burger king.  To cater to small planes like cessnas it had a small landing runway on top almost exactly like that scott's.  And it had a robotic arm deliver the food to the pilot.

After working around the design some more I figured it could work with large airliners like 747s as well by using a long arm underneath the flying king to connect and seal with one of the airliner's escape doors and deliver food en masse through a conveyer into the airliner's cabin.

Sadly the design was unjustly ruled impossible. With the supervisor claiming that there was no way to land one plane on another.  That made me sad.  But maybe I should try to make something like that in KSP to prove them wrong!

I think that once 1.0 hits, the only mods left in my install will be the Near Future Technologies set (I'm counting Space Station Parts Expansion as part of that), and maybe Procedural Fairings, if only because of the customization options they provide via the fairing bases and different kinds of fairing. Everything else just seems kind of covered already. :P
Heh, looks like they have fairings covered I guess.

that video looks complicated, but they at least seems to give you a lot of flexibility on how fairings fairs

oh, I got a server running, dmp vanilla, at
104.167.112.42

So anyone want a minor challenge?  I was trying to improve a station I set up ([Zanzetkuken] Satellite) and things messed up...

First thing, I wound up putting the satellite in a really bad orbit for what I wanted it to eventually serve as (a refueling station).  I found this out when I tried to launch a habitation expansion to it (left it named 'Unnamed Spaceship' as it wasn't supposed to last long...).  As of current, the one way of generating thrust for the satellite is out (was an attached escape pod), and the expansion is drifting separate from its escape pod.  This situation has 4 kerbals trapped.  If someone could get the satellite into a better orbit, the habitation module near it with a way to generate some thrust, and rescue the kerbal in the basically drifting escape pod, I would be very thankful.

This post makes me think DMP should add player-made contracts or something like that.

So, is it worth it to re-install the many, many mods that I have to play this game, or just wait for release?
The 1.0 release is in like 4 days right? I'm just waiting myself.

My plan is to start a career in 1.0 and add in mods as they update. I know many of the modders have the 1.0 code already so most of my preferred mods will be updated pretty much immediately.
