I would suggest a 'console wars' type thread.

There is one: "Consoles vs PC gameing thread."

That thread is soooo 2011.

But I take it the majority of the public is severely disappointed with all 'next-gen' options, and that a very significant portion of O-F would stick with PC anyways.

I want to play games, not watch fifty different tv shows at once. Even the Halo Live Action show seems lacking. If MS doesn't pull some serious backflips at E3, Sony is gonna get my money.

I think the PS4 is an Xbox One without all the extra media stuff, but for the same price. So it's still a hard choice for me. (and one that I won't make for a good while)

How come there's a delta-v map for the Kerbol system

but not for the planets in our solar system?

:huh: You don't actually think that's a new idea, do you?

And its updated too, wow.

I'm making one when I can, my paper copy already has EML space, Mars, Venus, & injections to the outer planet. I'll make a nice digital version of it if you're interested. After all, Im all for Delta Vee!

Pft, that one is a pittance. The followers of the deserve better!

Edit: Whats the thing underneath "Jool Intercept"? Could this be an appearance of the dreaded Space Chuluthat? (need to look up actual spelling :facepalm

I meant all the planets in our solar system. Not just Earth, Moon, and Mars.

(and Venus, in the case of this picture)

Looks something like a naked mole rat to me.

Year 10 of?

Year 10 of?

School, 2 more to go. Odd though, as it doesn't *feel* like 10 years have gone by.

In my opinion delta-v maps always have the flaw that they show the ideal delta-v at the perfect moment. Might be OK in KSP but you hardly get the perfect moment in real life.
For example a KSP Duna mission of mine: 200 days waiting in LKO, 120 days waiting in LDO for the ideal transfer because my delta-v was too small for anything else.

I wouldn't know, since I don't reflect on kindergarten too often. That being said, finishing high school is scary. You finish up, and all of a sudden you begin deciding what you do. Its probably tough for a lot of people, but I have lots of work, so Im not concerned. :thumbup:

They also have other problems, namely that they're usually written for specific burn accelerations, but a good one is still highly useful for mission planning. Part of my motivation to write Delta Vee! was so that I could have a Delta Vee map & the program open in front of me, & easily plan missions just like that. Its very satisfying to be able to use my tool after all the work that went into it.

Sorry, no quotes as I'm on my phone.

BJJL: I didn't count Kindergarten, since I'd rather forget that year existed. All I have to do now is keep my head low and not fudge up the SAT.

Latest drawing - Yuri Gagarin. Do we have an art thread btw? I'd love to post more of these.

My brother brought me to a very horrifying realization today:

The Ewoks' first inclination upon meeting Luke and Co. was to try to eat them.

So what happened to all the Stormtroopers after the Battle of Endor?

They continue since the Empire doesn't end with the Battle of Endor, it just doesn't govern most of the planets anymore. It reorganizes as the Imperial Remnant which is later led by Jagged Fel who is a quite interesting character, the head of state of the Empire being married to a Jedi who happens to be a Solo?

By "all the stormtroopers" I don't mean "all the stormtroopers in the galaxy". I mean all the defeated stormtroopers on Endor who are at the mercy of the Ewoks.

What do you think they ate at this feast after the Battle of Endor.
