-When the grey smudges on your eraser remind you that you left your craft on a reentry path and you forgot to pause Orbiter before leaving your house
Incredible: You return home to find your craft survived reentry and you are able to continue flying it
Untouchable: You return home to find your craft is on a perfect glideslope for a landing at an airport of your choice.
Godlike: You return home to find your craft landed on the runway dead center and stopped at the end unscathed.
Probe: You return home to find your craft neatly parked in the hangar.

I think we all devised something along those lines.

The bonus points are for who enacts the plan. Dirk Pitt anyone?

[Spacethingy]

...when you can appreciate "jokes" such as:

Why did the ice cream Deltaglider explode on re-entry?

Because the nose cone was still open.

 

[DanM]

When your alarm clock sounds like the DGIV alarm, and when it rings to wake you up, you actually go in to a panic and frantically reach to press the Esc key three times to eject. I am guilty.

Or if you're like me you set your alarm clock to actually be the DGIV alarm.

Now I get to wake up to *BEEP BEEP*WARNING *BEEP BEEP*WARNING *BEEP BEEP*WARNING *BEEP BEEP*WARNING *BEEP BEEP*WARNING...

They pluck the capsule out of the ocean, haul it back to dry land, and crack it open, finding you sitting in the cargo bay.

:blink:

You turn, stare at them, then say, "It's just like Orbiter!", before jumping out of the capsule and running away as fast as you can, the whole time screaming, "Martin will be so proud! Wait till Tex sees my screenshots!".

You are then completely addicted to Orbiter.

Hmm...

Why did the Orbinaut install Orbiter?
To get to the other side...of the atmosphere...just...

Well...just ignore it...

If you laughed at that then you really are addicted.
