So the new monopropellant engines have a thrust/weight of 20/0.

20 to 0?  You mean infinite?  Doesn't that mean if you had just an engine, it would reach the speed of light instantly?

...that's an incredible idea. Someone make a massless probe core.

EDIT: and by someone I mean me.

Code: [Select]

mesh = model.mu

CrewCapacity = 0

title = Probodobodyne Weightless QBE

description = QBE is a sturdy, cubic, and absolutely lightweight probe core. It also can survive higher heat loads than its counterparts. Its simplistic shape also appeals to modern art collectors. Truly, something for everyone.

I'm worried the budget system will enforce always using the most efficient designs if you want to stay in the green

Nah.  You'll have some cheap and efficient designs early on, but before long you'll be rolling with over a million funds in the bank and looking at doing some "just for fun" missions or sending up some super heavy lifters with 500k boost stages.

One of my lessons learned from my first contract game - dont build too efficient or exploit only the high ROI contracts.  Else you end up with too much cash and bored.
Play with remote tech, kethane, interstellar thingy, orbital construction/science ( MKS/OKS ), orbital science station and stuff like that, you wont float in your money as each piece of these things can reach 200-400k and you need multiple.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

What's your findings, ser?

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

Meh.
I take it there was both no instant light speed and no fuckHUEG explosions?

I got up to 1500 g acceleration, but in terms of expectations that's infinitely disappointing.

Scott Manley did a good video explaining this stuff. But yes, they are massless.

I want proper enclosed rotors so I can make this.
You could do something like this: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=88632.msg5041265;topicseen#msg5041265

By modding Infernal robotics rotating parts to spin faster, you can use wings to create blades that even work with FAR's reduced atmospheres so long as you create a method for countering the torque (a counter-rotating set of blades, in my case).

So yeah, tentatively labeling 64 bit as "unplayably buggy." Get in VAB, throw cockpit down...and it crashed. Do anything else and it crashed. Very crashy.

7/10 Has much more memorable sigs but casts them to the realm of sigtexts.

Indeed, I do this.

Odd, works fine for me. What are the details?
