The worse crash(OFF TOPIC)

[Reiel]

Ok, Ill lay it down. describe your worst crash.
Delta Glider, every temp over 80K degrees. All system stuff stopped. Everything died, what's so funny, my nose still
worked! All the crew survived too! XD When i boucned, the guy was like: "800, 700, 600."

I like to push the limits when I transfer from the earth to the moon. Normaly I do my orbital entry burn at around 100
meters. Well, aprently I didn't wait to achieve retrograde, and burned just enough to run me smack into the moon at some
absurd speed. Other then that? Just burned alive many many times.

[Reiel]

Lol. XD I love just crashing its fun. Especially when your at 1000.00 times speed

I'm surprised Freespace hasn't come here and told us all about his most 'spectacular' vertical re-entries yet.

Lol! XD

I pulled of a near verticle re-entry flying across the Atlantic. I went up, into space and then down, and landed in Cornwall,
England. Fairly quick flight over the Atlantic.

[Reiel]

Wow... I cant do verti's. T.T'

I recall that it took about 5 minutes.

Oh, BTW:

Er-HEM!!!

I've been busy playing that silent hunter 3, so I'm too busy to post much... ehehehehe....

My most spectacular reentry, had to be actually on jupiter, as I never bothered to adjust my orbit when I got close, I
slammed into the planet at very high speeds.

since I had done a transfer from earth, creating a solar orbit with an apoapsis (which is also the slowest part of an
orbit) at jupiter's orbit, while jupiter was, of course, going at it's normal orbital speed. That in itself had to be a
difference of several thousand MILES per hour. (had to get that in there, hehehe..) but jupiter's gravity sucked me
into it even faster, so yeah, you can say my crew didn't survive that one... hehe.

The DG3 did, though. For some reason, 2800000 degree temperatures can heat up the ship enough to kill everyone,
but not vaporize the ship on the spot. Dan must have programed the thing to be made out of Adamantium or
something.

Whats the highest temp the re-entry display will read anyway?

[Reiel]

Who knows.

You could test it by flying into Jupiter's lower atmosphere with as much smack as you could get out your engines.

[freespace2dotcom]

actually, I did this a while ago.

here's a pic of it.

ouch! lol

Baleze

Ouuch!

I told you they were spectacular.

My worst one, would have to be when I figured out how to sync my orbit with the ISS to the meter. I was running at 100x time
compresion, and noticed rendevous time was aproaching, so I pressed prograde, and my ship just spun away, as this. I went to
hit R, and hit T by mistake, I quickly fixed this, and got into normal time with the ISS about 20km away, and I slamed into
it at a leisurly pace of 1.2km/sec. Too bad there's no collision detection between vessels. Would have been fun to see what
would have happened.

At any rate, I stpped myself 30 km out from the station and proceeded to make my first successful dock from Habana to ISS in
a shuttle-a.

700,000,000 degrees on reentry... Bleh, a GOOD crew could survive that. Just make sure you saved their career chips!

[Reiel]

Woah.. 0.0

I don't even know all the right controls so I'ms tuck with Delta Gldier 3 and the 3-D cockpit of the delta-glider
