    No, Saturday that time is Empires time.

    EDIT: I may have screwed up the date. I did screw up the date in fact. HOWEVER, don't fret! The best parts are already up on YouTube! :)

    So I wiped everything and started again after the last patch. Mostly because I broke my install by loading up hundreds of mods. This time I've vowed only to use standard parts (and mechjeb)

    Anyway I've been kind of slacking on this game recently, so I decided I'm going to do some big mission - not sure what yet but I know I'm going to need some orbital fuel. So here is my new Low Kerbin Orbit Fuelling station. Complete with a 3 man pod for emergencies & space-tug duty if any in orbit assembly is required & a hab for the little guys to relax in.

    [​IMG]
    And yes that's MechJeb. Honestly, I've managed to do a rendezvous & dock a few times without it and I honestly will never build another orbital station without it. I don't use the docking autopilot but I do use the SMART A.S.S because KSP's built in RCS translation is fucking terrible.

    Anyway. I have quite a bit of fuel - all those tanks made it up there 2/3 full & I plan to stick another under the habitat module to raise the orbit from 125k to 150k & top up the other tanks before detaching & deorbiting it.

    I wanted to post it because It took me 3 and a half bloody hours & I thinhk it looks rather lovely. I accidentally attached 2 of the extra large docking ports facing the wrong way round! So after cursing KSP for 20 minutes as I tried to dock I finally realised my mistake and landed the pod & deorbited the whole station. When I sent up the MKII KSP went nuts during my first docking and the whole station exploded.

    How to name Kerbals?

    Also I am highly recommending Kethane Mod. Its added a while new lease of life to this game for me. It used to be buggy as all hell but development has been taken up again and it has a bunch of new parts. Making it much more accessible & fun.

    It makes bases purposeful. My next stop is a base on the mun capable of resupplying a fuel depot in munar orbit. That'll be my launch pad to do the same on Duna, maybe Dres.

    [​IMG]

    That thing will produce ~1300 delta-v worth or Liquid Fuel & Oxidizer in a few minutes (at x10 acceleration, under sunlight). But I've added docking ports so I can put some big orange tanks on rover wheels and back them up to it. I plan to use a sky crane to lift/lower them to the surface from an orbital fuel depot. It can also manufacture Xenon gas & Monopropellant but I don't have tanks for this on this rig.

    EDIT: Finally! SCIENCE I am excite

    Kerbal Space Program's science patch has been released. As such I need new applicants. Spartacus is already on board.

    Good call, bad copy-pasta on my part made me omit the last letter.

    Recorded part 3, lost half the footage. Luckily, the first half which was not nearly as cool as the rest.

    DDD said I could take as many people on "my" flight to the mun as i wanted.


    I said 14 of you guys. I also said it would be a bonus challenge to land beside Youzy and Security who is already on the moon. After this I dont think hes going to have many more people left to experiment on

    Let the frustration for DDD and party for us commence :P


    For anybody that plays this. How would yous like a 'challenge' every so often. I could pick a challenge from the main KSP forums every week or 2 and we could have our own rankings and competition here. Interested?

    I challenge you faggots to build a fucking all stock space shuttle that can get into a 200.000m orbit

    the points are handed out for looking the most like the fucking space shuttle

    and remember, the space shuttle is a pile of American crap, but that's what makes it challenging to build!

    No, it really was a piece of crap, ask any engineer.
    No design goals were reached (no full reusability, no cost saving, too low max orbit, etc etc etc

    the last version of the space shuttle coudnt even get into stable 200000 meter oribit, but the original version was even worse

    it has a couple IBM AP-101 computers on board, they didnt use any harddrives and worked with magnetic memory, each time they went trough descent there was a chance the magnetic disturbence from the turbulence would basically "reboot" all the computers midflight a totally automated flightplan... this is why there always needed to be a pilot in the cockpit to pick up for the computer rebooting (it never happened, but testing with enterprise showed that it is a real possibility, and they just dodged a bullet... hence replacing the computers was done pretty early on)

    there are more reasons but i dont have time to go into detaile or whatever
