Topic: Kerbal Space Program

squeegee started this discussion 11 years ago #41,864

It's in full release now, and it's really damn fun. sandbox mode was always fun, but they fixed the career modes up some and they are better now too. There's lots more parts for rockets and space planes, and there's tons and tons of mods out there.

Also, according to the devs, multiplayer is on the way! it's always been a planned feature, but they've always had more important stuff to do, and they are now at a point where they are starting to include it. I don't know how they plan to make it work since there's stuff like time warp. Also i don't know if it'll be cooperative or competitive, i kinda hope we can do both. What i'd really like to do is have a space race competition between either 2 players or two teams, either way. my focus of course would be on building long range bombers with which to bomb their VAB into dust before they can get to the moon.

so if they'd start us on like opposite sides of the world or something and let us compete as teams i could see myself having a lot of fun.

it fucking works too. the first couple crashed until i got the thrust output on the tail rotor correct. now it'll hover pretty good.

you've got to operate 4 things at once to come close to stable flight, and everything needs constant adjustment.

alright, rescue mission time.

squeegee (OP) triple-posted this 11 years ago, 40 seconds later, 6 hours after the original post[^] [v] #556,474

i'll be recovering the pilots of a rocket plane that went down 75km west of KSP on the other side of a mountain range. pretty much my top ground speed is looking like 45m/s or so, if i give it too much throttle then the nose pitches up real bad and i start to do a loop. not sure how they are modelling rotors in this mod, but it's wonky.

squeegee (OP) quadruple-posted this 11 years ago, 23 seconds later, 6 hours after the original post[^] [v] #556,475

but i'm making progress. fuel looks good, i should make the round trip, but i can't remember how many survivors there are. hopefully not more than 2.

squeegee (OP) quintuple-posted this 11 years ago, 20 minutes later, 7 hours after the original post[^] [v] #556,480

alright, tricky business, but we made it past the mountain range and are dropping into the valley below

squeegee (OP) sextuple-posted this 11 years ago, 1 minute later, 7 hours after the original post[^] [v] #556,482

nailed it! flawless landing. now let's go see who's being picked up.

squeegee (OP) septuple-posted this 11 years ago, 3 minutes later, 7 hours after the original post[^] [v] #556,484

hey! lookie there! it's Jeb! he must not have died when his plane went down. that's surprising. i thought for sure he disintegrated in the atmosphere and crashed into the mountain.

squeegee (OP) octuple-posted this 11 years ago, 54 seconds later, 7 hours after the original post[^] [v] #556,485

he's the lone survivor. been stuck out here for weeks.

squeegee (OP) nonuple-posted this 11 years ago, 59 seconds later, 7 hours after the original post[^] [v] #556,486

hmm, maybe his plane DID disintegrate in the stratosphere and crash into the mountain.

squeegee (OP) decuple-posted this 11 years ago, 31 seconds later, 7 hours after the original post[^] [v] #556,487

awesome, let's go home

squeegee (OP) undecuple-posted this 11 years ago, 3 minutes later, 7 hours after the original post[^] [v] #556,488

well fuck, how do i get IN! shit

squeegee (OP) duodecuple-posted this 11 years ago, 9 minutes later, 7 hours after the original post[^] [v] #556,489

hmm, looks like i found a design flaw. rather than go back to the drawing board i'm going to try and improvise. i've added an exterior ladder for a kerbal to hold onto. the plan is to go out, pick up Jeb and just have him ride back that way. let's see if it works. for a volunteer i've selected a very brave and stupid kerbal.

squeegee (OP) tridecuple-posted this 11 years ago, 3 minutes later, 7 hours after the original post[^] [v] #556,490

hmm, alright, well this seems to be working just fine

let's try seats

squeegee (OP) double-posted this 11 years ago, 2 minutes later, 7 hours after the original post[^] [v] #556,498

@556,495 (beckyderp !4aMoRa.T2Q)
i don't see why not. but it looks like using seats will work just fine. kinda need to balance the load out though, so i'll take a copilot.

i know, i know, you're probably just going to say, "why not just start from scratch and build a proper rescue chopper," but you know, this is fun too. i'll build a better one later.

alright, so Nancy Kerbal had to leave jeb behind. he's back chilling in his broken up cockpit. i've gone ahead and assigned this second flight to Nancy again, and she's taking along Nedming who recovered from his fall actually. being stupid, and brave, has it's advantages since he'll be riding shotgun to balance out the weight problem with jeb on the other landing gear.
