    You mentioned that you're looking for something with a more durable barrel than the Parker Jotter, which I believe are made of stainless steel. If a stainless steel barrel is getting destroyed, it sounds like you might need something really tough. Could you say a bit more about how you use your pens and how they tend to fail?

    If you need something that tough, I definitely would not recommend a fountain pen as others have. I love fountain pens, but the nibs are fairly fragile and they do require a bit of upkeep and occasional maintenance.

    If you get into it, you might also enjoy letterlocking. Have fun!

    I'd love Kerbal Space Program. It's been on my wishlist for years now. Thank you very much!
