'Planetfall' - KSP Kethane Station #25

[@Medevildragonman]

You're work is absolutely beautiful, and you are the closest I've come to seeing a spiritual successor of Macey worthy of his mantel. I salute you good sir.

[@2KOOLURATOOLGaming]

Captain Kerbal OMG You, You know Macey. You're absolutely right. Carry on HatBat, so far I have been living my life in a wierd sort of way. Everything I watch and experience, changes me. Your series has made me happy again, much like my Christmas PC. Happiness has come to me once again after a series of annoying events.

[@2KOOLURATOOLGaming]

Thank you!

[@thebudgieadmiral5140]

Captain Kerbal Yes, back in the good old days when we were hoping for a continuation of Spiritwolf... Macey was great. Too bad he did not continue his work.

Wow, there must have been so much work going into this!

[@raashidrazi5663]

When are you going to make a new video?

[@selery6473]

The most creative ksp cinematic battle of seen! Must have taken hours. As your reward, you deserve a small loan of a million subscribers!

[@a2broslol]

You mean a “bill ion”, right :)

[@needsmoreboosters4264]

This is the most beautiful filmwork I've ever seen in KSP. Thanks for making this.

[@TaraZaraChara]

Yup, we play all the time on a LMP server. It's quite fun. We pitt our warships against eachother around Kerbin. As for Episode 26, I don't think it will ever come out. It's sort of become a joke on the server to mention it. Hatbat says he's working on it, but at a very slow pace.

[@sovereigntyofvoyagers7380]

Talk about a plot twist! This episode was extremely good! It felt like watching something in the cinemas.

[@tjpettit1922]

This is an absolutely Beautiful Series HatBat. The editing, tank combat, and aerial combat were all just perfection. This whole series made me disbelieve what I thought was Kerbal Space Program Videos. I used to think they were just cartoon like and comical sometimes. This series proves with good editing and mods, you can make something great in the Kerbal Space Program game engine.

[@vantave9946]

OH SHIT HERE IT IS Edit: That was just... So good, holy shit. Your work is fantastic, it always amazes me!

[@aveeeno8140]

Great Video! Absolute masterpiece. Sad to see this series go. The combination of stock and modded is really great. The series was a roller coaster ride for me, and I wish there was more. Hope to see more great content from you in the future.

[@Halban]

The series isn't over. It's just the end of the current story arc. Glad you're enjoying it.

[@aveeeno8140]

Seriously? Gramercy!

[@Halban]

Apologies if anybody was expecting something bigger given that it's been so long since the last episode. My original plan for this episode just turned out to be far too ambitious and left me burned out. I couldn't have done this without the help, advice and encouragement of my friends on the forum including Zero Films, Mobius, JTPopcorn and ScriptKitt3h. Zero films actually stayed up filming on Christmas Eve in our attempt to release the video on Christmas day. Merry Christmas everyone.

Great vid as always! I'm glad I could help out with advice and encouragement. And I'm happy to see my Vikus has a certified five-star safety rating!

[@Striker9]

Dude, Best KSP movie story ive seen thus far kinda feel stupid for starting on #25 but im going back and watching them all.

[@mennoltvanalten7260]

I did this too starting at like 22 or something, though sadly a part of season 1 is unavailable

[@clevoro]

Don't worry, same thing happened to me 2 days ago. I have watched what I believe HatBat thinks are the best and the more story driven episodes. I really enjoy it. I love the length of these videos. Its a shame a series that has to have time like this is penalized by youtube for not bringing daily content.

[@dannypock2948]

Bud Gates XD me too

[@comrat9805]

ur right, better than matt lowne

[@trialdex]

Bud Gates but actually #25 is the best one i say

[@getbrutal4388]

I'm new to KSP and you video makers are making this game a billion times better, and it's already incredible. THANK YOU.

[@MantersDoesMinecraft]

Absolutely stunning. Great job, man.

[@haydenoka9704]

This was the best lap series I’ve watched and is the reason I’m so into ksp and aeronautics in general. Please make more like this

[@LePadeaux]

These are always a pleasant surprise and as always are fantastic. I updated my ships not too long ago but life has kept me away from doing forum stuff. I hope to see more of this stuff next year!

[@mycroft3339]

HatBat. Seriously awesome episode! The dogfight felt so much more natural and the tank battle was very well done! I might go so far as to say this is the best episode yet!!

[@snop7476]

Unlike other movies and stuff I've watched this has given me a sense of tenseness because I can't tell if a unit will live or not based on whats happening Unlike media like star wars where you know the Rebels are going to win. Great stuff my guy, hope this 4 year radio silence is broken soon (:

[@saltymonkey4889]

Great movie I was hoping for a AC 130 gunship 12:42

[@Oliepolie]

what ac130 has a radome and multiple jet engines

[@arvolder]

my tears talk for me. that was the best episode from all the serie. you did a great job.

[@fastwing3295]

the graphics the video!!! omg ive never watched something that good i gotta sub!!!

[@banhbaothit1629]

9:02 "primarily an anti tank aircraft," 9:09, 90% of the missles its carrying are air to air

[@Helix597]

It had 6 AGMs and 6 AAMs so 50/50

[@theemeraldstar7713]

This was truly a amazing video, Good job, You earned my subscription. You did better than I will ever do.

[@clevoro]

This is incredible! Seriously, The narration, the angles, the special effects, and all this from a simulation game. Maybe this is how we should start story boarding on other films.

[@Halban]

CodeConfused Thanks, very high praise. This is sort of how a lot of CGI heavy films are storyboarded in previs. Have a look at the behind the scenes of the Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit. They show it off pretty well.

[@clevoro]

No problem, trying to get to where I can watch a coherent playlist of the videos leading up to this one, but a lot of the videos are still private.

[@PaganSamurai]

Always love seeing this series, and definitely looking forward to seeing where it goes in the future. Fantastic episode - loved everything about it.

[@damiancoleman549]

This was such a great series and I hope hat at keeps up the awesome work in his videos he makes

[@kivikallo4313]

[@抹茶みどり-t4g]

okay but cinematically made and beautiful??????? gonna be obsessed for weeks

Glad to see it up! A great continuation of the series, and a nice conclusion to the story arc. In addition, don't feel bad about burnout- happens to all of us at some point.

[@bohhymobile9984]

Ah , the olden days of KSP . Everything was easy . Everything was amazing , everything was super cool , and wacky , the kerbal game . It was not a space simulator , it was a fun space exploration game . Ah , the olden days .

[@quesadilla692]

Alright so I don't wanna be rude but I got it a year after launch and it has always been a great game all the way through. Yes I know the dlcs are a bit meh but the game is in my opinion much better now than it was then with more options of parts and better graphics. Also it was always intended to be an educational space flight simulator, not a space exploration simulator. Therefore it was made in collaboration with ESA, NASA and other smaller space agencies. Hence why we can see parts from real space craft in the game like the MK3 cockpit for example, used on the space shuttles. This is also quite heavily modded. If you really want a space exploration simulator, try no man's sky, astroneer and maybe even eve online just to name a few. And also to be fair, this wasn't really too long ago.

[@SevenSixty2]

I clicked this video expecting a 360p 25fps recording from 2013. Holy shit was I wrong, your production quality is absolutely amazing!

[@diogofernandes2147]

best work vid whit ksp ever seen , i imagine the time put in this . You are the Best !!!!

[@crazyal2795]

wow, the story is perfect and the graphics!!! It totally blown me off. Good work keep it up

[@gaurdian6399]

Hey... this was really a work of art and im glad im able to watch what great content you make. i started looking into editing and mods that make ksp videos look really good and i see that it takes...a long ass time to do what you do and make it look as good as you make it. so good job and i hope i can do what you do one day

[@CrimeMinister1]

I don't know why I ignored this in my recommended for so long. It's incredible!

[@jerrycan1756]

While this series is the only *good* currently-running KSP war series, there is something I must ask: more lines that talk about other fighting in future episodes. At current, the war seems to have a grand total of about fifty men involved since what we see is everything that happens. I'm not asking for loads of grand battles, just some throwaway lines to say that things are happening off-camera so that the scale is bigger. GMI's entire ground population appears to be about 5 guys, and a World War confined to about 20 ground vehicles and 4 air vehicles is silly. If other corporations were engaging other GMI tanks (it was just off-camera), or the GMI shown were only the last evacuees (because everyone else left off-camera), the issue would be resolved.

[@tpfaff]

Woah there buddy, have you checked out "Solar Nations" by Vaos. It currently is not about war but it is coming soon as it is spending time developing backstory for how kerbals got to space but the ultimate goal is for combat.

[@Halban]

You make a good point. However it's just the nature of KSP that I can't do things much bigger than I already do them. I also don't want to pretend there's much action going on off camera as I feel it would detract from what I actually show. Still I'll certainly consider bringing a wider view to the happenings of the series.

[@sydo2532]

Why are episodes 3 to16 private btw? I'd like to watch the entire series from the beginning if possible :D

[@aveeeno8140]

BTW another good war series that is currently running are Fall of Kerbin

[@jerrycan1756]

Syd O Nothing really happened in those episodes, since they were between the fighting and the series' mission statement.

[@kentadavis3318]

This is by far the best ksp story I have ever seen

[@jeremiahramos6601]

That just took my breath away, it's a shame I was not able to see this when the series started. Be watching the series from the start now.

[@sonofgars1074]

Dang, I can't believe this is just the first episode I've watched, gotta go watch the rest.

[@andrewang1925]

AWESOME JOB AT CREATING THIS VIDEO!

[@olivialambert4124]

I literally adore your voice. The voice over aspect really does sound professional. The air combat made me cringe a little though, a bit too much top gun. If an enemy started slowing down in front of them a real pilot would start to climb to to lower the speed and maintain distance. That way the enemy would have to climb to attack him, which they can't do with no speed, and the attacking pilot can later trade that altitude for acceleration later in the fight as well as using gravity to enhance his turn capability. I mean most people will just think its cool and not understand the finer points of air combat so don't take it too hard, but its about the most basic example I could imagine of energy-manoeuvrability theory upon which every single combat pilot's training is based. Literally as elementary as multiplication for a physicist. But that off my chest, the rest of the video was great and very well produced. And hello from a fellow Brit, at least I won't have to cringe at every other word's pronunciation.

[@Halban]

Thanks, I'm glad you like the voice over. I'm always a bit unsure about whether or not people are going to like it or think it detracts from the story. Sorry about the air combat, it is rather movie-like but I guess that's the idea with the videos. I see what you mean about that manoeuvre though; I might try that if it's possible in the game. Given that the attacking pilot survived, I suppose he could come back and have a little revenge.
