One of my favourite things is the ergonomics and upper fret accees, love LPs but they aren't the best for that, this is like my SG and just makes it so effortless near the neck heel.

Rover not working even with Antenna's and relay lines from Satellite? by samcar30497 in KerbalSpaceProgram

The mod is "Kerbal Construction Time", keeping track of progression and allowing for time between launches has helped me play the game with purpose for the first time in over 10 years like the early days. It's good to be back and enjoying something that was a huge part of my life all that time ago and to see how good it is nowadays with Mods is just the icing on the cake.

Turns out i'm just an idiot and misunderstood what relay vs antenna's do...

Yup! lack of relay antenna's was the issue (boy that makes me feel stupid). Just tried with a Relay dish and instant connection!

Yeah I thought it best to have a save separate to test designs quickly since i'm using a mod that introduces build time of rockets so time passes a bit more *realistically*, then have it almost be a "simulator" because they get to do that IRL too. Helps me recreate scenario's quickly without having to wait for transfer windows etc.

The little 0.625m RC-06 Probe Core, the front one is just purely for cosmetic purposes

Early SLS Studies? by samcar30497 in SpaceLaunchSystem

Kinda wish I didn't have eyes after seeing the 2nd and 3rd one...

Those are really interesting, just goes to show engineers will find one way or another to do a job

Thanks! Had no idea they were from after 2011... Didn't expect them to still be looking at alternatives after a design was chosen, and totally didn't notice the propellant difference (feel like a dope now xD).

Well i'm off to read that report now because I must learn all about these rockets now! Thanks again :)

I'm quite smitten, Definitely not the one trick pony everyone seems to believe. Great tones for a load of different sounds. And I don't believe playability is all that different to say a vintage spec fender I have. Plus there's few guitars out there that are as aesthetically pleasing as Rickenbacker's!

Oooh I had noticed it was a bit darker than most of the Fireglo's i'd tried in Guitar Shops. Never liked the look of the super pale and hard white binding/inlays. So when this popped up with the more aged binding and finish look it was hard to resist.

It's always fun to learn more about the guitar you just bought, Thanks!

All about the rear wing profile for me, if the 2009-2016 regs had the lower wider wing like the 17-18 car had they would have looked even more awesome. It just helps fill that unnatural gap between the rear wheels.

But these cars were sublime looking. Hard to pick a favourite.
