you need chatterer IRC then, to feel less alone.

that's the server : http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=150285.0

currently running "unmodded" 1.0.2 campaign (you can still use non part mods, like mechjeb and engineering for all)


this evening I'll collect the mods poll results and prepare a ckan configuration for it

I was thinking on a big inauguration event with the launch of the first kerbin science station - I don't know how many unlocked docking parts but it should be easy enough for all to get on board and get some science while doing it!

WAIT WHAT
KSP HAS MP?

Kinda. Officially, sometime in the future. For now, mod.

[LoSboccacc]

yes and you are welcome! hop in and get some science so you can come and join the bay 12 only bar orbiting an alien planet!

I made another LF-only SSTO spaceplane! It can now dock and deliver small cargo!

Well, my attempt at the design didn't work, but you have to admit it looks pretty badass.

Spoiler: Big Bird (click to show/hide)

Despite having more engine power than the plane designed by an actual engineer, this design barely clears 800m/s by the time it runs out of breath, and three Nerva's have basically no affect on its velocity.  The obvious problem is that it's way too damn heavy with a lot of extraneous parts.  I've been playing version 1.0 for about three hours, so I don't have a good handle on the new physics yet.

NEVER!

I recently designed a plane, shame I didn't grab a screenshot. It's not spaceplane. I think I should name it the Firebird since throttling up over 25% makes it glow a fiery red... from air friction. Actually, going too fast rips off the wings... but it can still fly. ...Until the air intakes explode from the heat.

I am amazed that spaceplanes are apparently a whole lot cheaper than vertical rockets.

KAS

Finally KIS is in a stable enough state to use!

Is Infernal Robotics up yet?

[BigD145]

IR was up a week plus ago.

Oh good.

I just put my first probe in orbit around the Mun. And then almost put a probe in orbit around Minmus, but I derped and left SAS on as I time warped to the point where I was going to do a retrograde burn at periapsis and put it in a nice tight orbit, on the dark side of Minmus. Ran out of battery. >_<

So it sailed on by and back out into a very large orbit. I'll have to wait a month or two for the lone solar panel to be pointed in the right direction enough to start recharging the battery. Good thing is that the orbit is in roughly the same plane as Minmus and only slightly smaller. And being a tiny probe, it still has a shit-ton of delta-V left. Once I have juice to communicate again, I can rendezvous it again.

Now to start figuring out the nightmarish logistics of actually landing a kerbonaut on the Mun and getting him home again.

[BigD145]

More solar panels on more sides. Also batteries.

[forsaken1111]

Also probes take charge over time no matter what. Leaving SAS on while warping doesn't drain the battery, its simply having a probe core that does it.

I just started a new game with the KAS 0.90 thingie yesterday, is it safe to use this new version?
