"Actually it is. Trust me. If I can make a turning complete robot and accurately simulate emotions then I think I can offer some advice on feelings."

"So, you make really great robots, which makes you an expert on emotions...Besides, HK's a bit off from human norm. And so are all of us, but not in the same direction."

"Though you're not married. I should be past these feelings by now..."

"This is the point where you start to consider if marriage was the best idea. Well, ideally you would have thought of it earlier, but that can be forgiven since you weren't around anyone then."

Kyle kisses the top of her head.

Will shakes his head.
Will's, not Kyle's.

"Could you please refrain from declaring that so loudly? I suspect it may frighten or otherwise alarm Annie and Wheatley..."

<Annie and Wheatley? I think they were alarmed in Northdale.>

"Kyle, I think I may be defect, I require maintenance."

"Your grammar module is certainly defective."

-talks about impossibulls-

Well, that miiiight work, but even if it does, it would only rely on luck.

they'll just zergrush everything in sight after a lucky isolated start.

You do know that starting locations are chosen, not drawn at random, right?

There is luck in not having anyone else settle near you.

I think you've put more thought and effort into it than Leo did.

No offense, Leo, but...wow.

Hm. What is the difference between the mind and the soul?

Thanks for the advice.


I'm trying to design something like Macey Dean's Dragonfly, but suffering because tricks like "stacking air intakes" and "being able to put ion drives...anywhere really" are beyond my grasp.
EDIT: Figured that out. Now to figure out "Flying without Crashing".
EDITEDIT: Losing the torpedo didn't help, it's still falling forward.
E³: I took off (it was a weight issue), but sadly failed to achieve SSTO. Ran out of air too early, the ions couldn't compensate. Thankfully, the parachutes work.
E⁴: Um, belay that; the parachutes rip everything off the cockpit when they deploy. Well, Jeb's safe.

I've been requested to make a sciencing hovercraft in the LP I'm running, so I decided to practice. I set out to make a hovercraft that would make the engineers of Kerbin proud.

Then I made this.

It did this...

...and while I was taking the screenshot it crashed and exploded. Seven seconds in the air.

I added some reaction wheels and turned on the SAS. It "worked," but if the throttle was ever less than full it would start drifting downwards and crash.

Another flight is in order! I panicked after it began wobbling due to SAS being off...


Basically, the hovercraft crashed and the middle part exploded, with other parts flying off and exploding. The only intact bits? One reaction wheel...and the command pod.

Another test shows that its maneuverability is...lacking. Oh, and landing is hard. That could be a problem for the LP. Ah well, I'll figure something out. And dawn is breaking, how can I be sad about that?

I have indeed posted my timeskip action. Top post on page 479 of the on-ship thread, using 50 posts/page.

And a potential improvement to namite exists with Grate's thermite'.

My thoughts exactly. Although I'd like to upgrade the napalm, too.
