So, any of our code-masters been playing with the new plugin system? Also, don't try to use oversized lander legs for grab-stuff clamps. it will destroy your rocket and your target...

I don't know, I don't have 0.14 yet anyway.
On other news, I've been making replicas for quite some time now, some of my finest:
Proton:

Saturn V:

Both handle quite well, especially the latter (Proton's 1st stage is a pain).

All the new stuff is awesome.

It made it to the orbit with only slight modifications...

I wonder if I could make a transforming variant.

More of an Alpha than a VF, but still a pretty good likeness.

New version out, adds spaceplanes (okay), a new satellite in an eccentric/inclined orbit (

) and patched conic trajectory projections (holy ****)

SO, IT HAS COME TO THIS.

MY KERBALONIANS ARE READY! (TO DIE)

Don't forget the new part orientation controls. I'm sure I will find some fantastic ways to use those for evil.

I love Minmus (the new rock to land on).

Sushi · **Reply #369 on:** May 18, 2012, 10:41:54 am

Toroidal engine is my new favorite part. Probably OP, but hey, it's stock!

Finally made it to orbit with a spaceplane. About to see if I can make a flyby of the Mun and come back to tell about it.

EDIT: Well, I made it around the moon, and managed to make a correction burn to aerobreak. However, I was now out of fuel...

And apparently this plane isn't so good at slowing down unpowered. Also, It seems my emergency system needs some refining.

Dragon · **Reply #374 on:** May 19, 2012, 07:45:45 pm

That was Kerbal.

I'm going to have to try getting to Minmas sometime, instead of flying around in airplanes.

Retsof · **Reply #375 on:** May 22, 2012, 06:26:15 pm

Helpful hint: If spaceplanes are putting your game in slideshow mode, go to you settings config, find the Terrain section, and turn the OceanPQs mindistance value down (there is one in each settings preset). I recommend halving it down to 4.

Minmas landings are a bit tricky since everything seems to be a steep slope. Lots of RCSing around to find flat-ish areas.

The ice lakes are nice and flat.

yip, im back in the game. needless to say i have 7 ships in orbit right now. ive been to the mun. unfortunatly my attempt to take off without fuel didnt work out to well, my kerbonauts survived, but they are stuck in a busted capsule on the mun. so i built this behemoth to go get em. took this a second before i ejected my air breathing boosters. got to orbit in time to watch that first stage fall to kerbin. apparently sticking a bunch of parachutes on it doesnt save it from exploding on inpact.

Nuke · **Reply #379 on:** July 20, 2012, 06:14:28 pm

version .16 is out. new eva features. for new and exciting ways to kill kerbonaughts.
