[06:44:43] Finally my Mammoth rocket splashed down, or what's left from reentry: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot59.png [06:46:21] It landed single stage on the Mun and came back. I tried soo many times to fly by the Mun to get to Kerbin, but I had to land more efficiently to get enough dv to pull it off. That also took many attempts. [06:46:28] 7:46 am now. [06:47:45] Mammoth on the Mun: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot55.png Eventually I had 801 m/s left there. [06:50:55] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [07:14:44] it is so ahrd to land tall objects on uneven surfaces [07:14:58] although it seems elon thinks it is possible [10:36:48] hi Kerbals, I like to build a CommNet, any tips for a good construction or where could I found some? [10:37:04] Althego: Elon does a good scan and land on the even parts. [10:37:19] And then they unload a bulldozer and make more even parts. [10:37:56] hehe [11:16:39] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x07GPmWp63I&list=PLPnDYki-MdiUVSpmxuNVgxlih8fsIETyH&index=2 [11:16:42] related [12:16:02] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [14:51:05] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:23:43] You can comment now on my single stage Mun mission :). [17:27:58] i thought chatzilla stopped working a while back [17:28:18] oh wait 2015, probably od firefox [17:28:20] old [18:05:15] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [18:13:32] darsie: rapier? [18:13:52] Mammoth, I said. [18:14:09] because bigger boosters are better i guess [18:14:35] It has an outstanding TWR. [18:14:47] could you return to kerbin orbit on the dV you have left? [18:14:53] yes [18:15:20] with 769 it would be even possible to land [18:15:27] that thrust limiter and a little smudge on the shift key would be enough i guess [18:15:29] Had to redo the landing more efficiently, then boosted to SOI and from there took a Mun flyby to Kerbin. [18:15:50] i would never work out the landing with a tall piece like that [18:15:53] Kerbin SOI [18:15:58] water [18:16:00] darsie: cool. good job. [18:16:21] Well, It splashed down hard, half of it. The rest exploded during reentry. [18:16:48] I just plugged together a huge rocket and then it became a mission after I had 2501 m/s left in orbit. [18:17:29] Rocket kept falling over at landing. [18:17:57] For a "real" mission I'd add some more fuel and a payload with parachute. [18:18:10] that's always my problem [18:18:14] i build to tall [18:18:18] too* [18:18:48] i wish the robotic parts would be sturdier when extended so i could build really, really wide landing gear setups [18:18:59] can that be solved with the dampening option? [18:18:59] I transferred the little remaining fuel to the lower tank for the improved landing. Didn't make much difference. [18:19:07] no, the way is to build a flat lander [18:19:43] The 4 big reaction wheels were not too much. [18:20:05] add an "erection mechanism" :) [18:20:11] :) [18:20:14] maybe solids [18:20:28] Solids? For landing? [18:20:43] no, for making the rocket vertical agian [18:21:03] Make the rocket vertical again :). [18:21:29] No pun other than Trump intended :). [18:22:16] i was thinking. can docking ports be connected if already attached to one machine? [18:22:44] That's the point of docks, right? [18:22:51] hehe [18:23:03] no, but neither is transformer robot jet space planes on eve [18:23:07] but people build them [18:23:11] and that's ksp for you [18:23:16] if i for instance wanted to build something that moved parts with hinges and 'locked them' with docking ports that could potentially [18:23:23] Action: darsie is confused. Or is it NGC3982? [18:23:29] ..solve what im looking for [18:23:40] so about that transformer, you have a link for that? [18:24:04] https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/182445-kerbal-mecha-collection/ [18:24:18] lol. "What is being shown is scale, what is not being shown is my pc melting" [18:24:21] :D. [18:24:56] hehe classic macross [18:25:22] Is that page loading slowly? [18:25:31] yes [18:25:38] https://gfycat.com/@Colonel_Cbplayer <- holy smokes [18:26:33] my pc can't even handle those gifs [18:27:09] the gif that keeps on gifing :) [18:27:56] https://gfycat.com/victoriousharmoniousamericanavocet <- i think this is the one i remembered [18:28:14] it had like 100k upvotes on reddit [18:29:10] "You don't actually have to have same vessel interaction enabled to have two docking ports (junjors only?) on the same vessel dock to each other." [18:29:18] cool, it seems to be working [18:29:42] that would be a cool way to robotisize vessels without lowering stability [20:01:23] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [22:29:36] Ohh, btw, I saw a ... handle on the Mun. [22:31:41] How did you think the Great Kraken placed the Mun in its current orbit? [22:32:11] (More seriously, the arches have been there since a terrain revamp ages ago. I think after the 0.14.2 one?) [22:33:22] Are they bugs or eggs? [22:35:54] eggs [22:39:05] Well, then, SPOILER WARNING. I found a handle on the Mun: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot60.png [22:45:49] More handle pics: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot63.png http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot68.png [23:35:48] Action: darsie built a new surface outpost on Minmus :) http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot70.png [23:37:39] Ohh, it's rolling :)
