cw8: I landed on Duna...

drealmer7: Congratulations!!!!!

Telika: I'm merrily bankrupting my Space Program. I do intend to send a refueling ship to my Duna crew, but the next Duna window is in almost a year. And, in the meanwhile, guess what : perfect Jool window. So all my fundings went into a flotilla currently enroute to Jool (with a ??? Delta-V, so what could go wrong ?). In the meanwhile, I use the remaining coins to send tiny science missions to the Mun and Minmus, and replace my old under-powered labs there. The idea is to get a sufficient science output to balance my funds through the "patents licensing" strategy in times of need.

And by times of need, I mean Jool windows. I'd like to throw a couple more rockets in that direction this year, but, at 1'000'000√ each, I may have to restrain myself a bit...

cw8: It's lucky we don't pay Kerbalnauts a salary

Telika: Hey don't give ideas to those who already insist for life support requirements (food/water/air supplies) to be included in the default game.

I already feel bad when I accelerate time while Kerbals stay stranded somewhere just because my attention went to another mission. So I tend to repatriate them first, unless I can keep them busy in a processing lab.

I generally feel compelled to "use time", instead of just skipping years, starting a mission, skipping years, etc. That's a reason why I haven't solved the Duna issue yet. Too busy year, stuf to do, other windows to exploit, before the next Duna window. Just accelerating time would feel fake, to me.

I may be roleplaying that stuff a tad too much. :-/
