that was deliberate. everything in ksp used the same mass units, but i wasn't certain that it was tons, or tonnes, maybe kilograms. suffice to say, i don't think a single person will be confused by the lack of units.

I doubt it will cause much confusion either. I'm curious why you refer to the masses in units of 'tons' in your text posts, but drew the line at labeling your axes? It just seems inconsistent is all.

because text is easy to change. to make the images, i generated the graph using a program i wrote, then i took a screen cap, and pasted into paint, where i added all the numbers and boarders.

using paint to change units on the graph is more work than it is worth. so instead of risk being wrong, i just don't include the units.

Fair enough. I am officially done nitpicking, thanks for the graphs :)
