[03:48:12] hi [03:48:27] uhhhhh im new [03:48:45] anyone here [03:57:43] blink [04:52:51] and i didnt watch this electron launch. pics or it didnt happen. and it didnt happen... [04:53:12] ok nothing spectacular, feed cut out [04:54:19] that was their first failure, it was bound to happen [04:54:40] hehe 13th launch [05:26:02] Althego: it was pretty ksp failure too [05:26:16] it failed to switch to oither batteries and ejected expired ones [05:26:25] so it lost power to pump and it crashes [06:44:41] alright [06:44:57] time to start launching the parts of my carefully constructed jool mission [06:51:02] Action: raptop wonders if their kerbals dislike the GLOC phase of reentry [06:51:33] bonus: regaining conciousness at like 5-8 km, and quickly deploying a drogue chute [07:10:32] nice [07:12:35] meanwhile, my shuttle launch design (basically copied off the dynawing) turns out to launch better if i don't touch the controls at all, despite veering way off at the start [07:19:05] hehe [07:19:13] the auto turn achieved [07:19:17] i could never master that [07:20:13] well, i have to take control at about 20 km for the staging, but yeah [07:28:56] All hail the true gravity turn [07:31:19] wasnt there a ksc biome? [07:31:33] that was just outside the runway for example [07:31:40] or do i remember incorrectly? [07:32:03] not it is shores [07:32:07] *now [07:33:57] the little patches between the buildings [07:34:01] triangles [07:34:20] check which parts aren't selectable as buildings [07:34:42] between mission control and VAB there is one [07:38:34] in a way this is better, i dont have to go to the actual shore for the shore [07:38:43] There still is one by the runway, yes [07:39:05] going north, east, or south from the pad tends to mean hitting the shores biome [07:39:15] (and remember: splashed and landed are seperate situations!) [07:41:13] i used to roll off the runway with a capsule to get the ksc [07:41:25] but it is shores now [07:41:30] maybe i went too far? [07:41:40] all the triangles are 'ksc biome' [07:41:45] and the trapezes [07:41:50] lok [07:41:53] Last message repeated 1 time(s). [07:41:53] loook [07:42:06] highlight the mission control in the KSC view [07:42:10] then highlight the VAB [07:42:16] and look at the little triangle in between them [07:42:19] how it is not highlighted [07:42:27] because it is neither mission control, nor VAB -- it is KSC [07:42:57] those are far away for a capsule [07:43:29] to get there i need wheels [07:43:32] those are the KSC biome [07:45:08] Althego: ah, go north or south of the runway instead? [07:45:32] Also, you can do silly things with a partially fuelled RT-5 [07:45:58] And on a related note, high kerbin orbit has a multiplier 5x that of landed [07:46:08] yes but as i remember for the ksc biome i only needed to roll off the runway in older versions [07:47:16] yeah, at some point it changed [08:32:54] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v kbuck' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [09:11:11] hah and there is scott's commentary [09:11:17] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayYgPdk0VVc [09:11:23] i expected it tomorrow [09:14:57] oh they lost control [09:15:07] that's no good [11:16:38] should've tested it in KSP! always unlock the spare battery *before* decoupling/depleting the active ones [16:41:01] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [18:10:17] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:06:43] lol I'm such an idiot. Just started playing again yesterday after not having played in a year or two and I wanted to start with a network of comm satellites around earth [19:06:59] so I figured I think I want polar orbit. Then I thought oh yeah I want geostationary [19:07:21] so I did polar orbit at 37,000 km.... [19:07:23] looool [19:07:53] oops [19:08:41] 35,000 km. whatever. but yeah they are not geostationary :) [19:08:42] I'd argue that some highly eccentric polar orbits with very different LANs would be useful, though [19:09:23] maybe. what does your argument have in mind? [19:11:14] The simple version would be something like one sat that hangs out over each pole [19:11:32] More complex would involve molinya orbits or a dram(sp) tetrahedron [19:14:00] *draim tetrahedron [19:14:18] o_O [19:17:11] eg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd2Wqc8JFck [19:17:27] Action: raptop misses maltesh [20:17:10] hoglahoo, lmao that is some epic thought processes [21:04:12] ty :) [21:26:10] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net
