You know you're addicted to Orbiter when...

[n72.75]

You know you've been developing to much orbiter when you use pointers in real life.

I hereby declare that a real number.

-While playing eve online and bombarding a POS you keep pressing "T" and wonder why its not going faster

-While the POS is exploding you keep pressing "R" to watch it slow motion

 

[Ghostrider]

I hereby declare that a real number.

It is, and probably Scrooge McDuck uses the term regularly.

 

[Xyon]

It is, and probably Scrooge McDuck uses the term regularly.

I quantify it henceforth as being exactly 14.86 Quadrillion Awesomes.

 

[The 2-Belo]

I hereby declare that a real number.

And it's a prime number, too. I looked it up.

... when you start playing at midnight then finally get up to go to the bathroom and see 5:35 on the clock, then you remember this thread and post about it 5 minutes later!

 

[vonneuman]

When you have read this thread from beginning to end

 

[atuhalpa]

When all of the other 30+ PC games and simulations you have languish in the dust bin, and your girlfriend threatens to leave you cause the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night is modify a config file to stack probes and fregats for a mission to infinity and beyond!

 

[n72.75]

. . . when you decide it's safe to cross the street because you see the message: "no intersection" flashing.

I can't believe this thread is still active.
-When you listen to "Another Planet" by pendulum, you can't help but hear the onboard computer of the DG-IV singing in the beginning.

When UCGO is the biggest thing you're looking forward to for <insert seasonal holiday here; I'm going with Christmas>.

I know, I can't wait.

Having been there and done that, I feel your pain. :tiphat:

...when your biggest goal for the weekend is to get that bloody XR2 to the moon and back in under 48 hours!

 

[vonneuman]

When the one thing you are looking forward to after finals is finally being able to devote more time to Orbiter.

When you cry when you accidentally kill your crew, I mean the UMMUs. I mean they're not really people.....are they?

 

[Ghostrider]

When you're reading Titus Andronicus, Act 4 Scene III and at Marcus Andronicus' line:
"My lord, I aim a mile beyond the moon;
Your letter is with Jupiter by this."
You try to calculate the trajectory Marcus' arrow should take, and how could an unpowered arrow reach to a point "a mile" beyond the Moon and then swing on to Jupiter.
RAMPAGE if you ask yourself if it's nautical or statutory miles or whatever.
DOMINATING if you actually compute the trajectory and swing-by on TransX of IMFD.
GODLIKE if you think to make an add-on upon it.
MASSACRE if you model the whole Andronicus family, UMMU compatible of course.

ULTIMATE for making the trip in Orbiter. In real time.

 

[Brycesv1]

INSANE for making the return trip so you can post the results of the voyage and notice how much the world has changed

 

[Zatnikitelman]

INSANE to the power of 2 if you use the data from Orbiter to do it in real life!

When the only reason you have Windows on your computer is to run Orbiter.
