[09:51:14] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|ktns' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [12:23:45] considering the complexity my mission to minmus has gotten, this now marks the first time of me using save state every since I got the game some years ago. [12:24:02] dang youre good [12:25:06] Rolf ... not sure if that sarcastic or.. legit comment. [12:25:14] legit :P [12:25:42] oh sorry.. don't know if because I'm good. I just run one thing at a time mission wise and hadn't really gotten out far [12:25:51] this minmus one... [12:25:55] well compared to me anyway [12:25:59] i used savestates a lot [12:26:52] I launched a docking target/booster into LKO.. launched MK1 crew pod with RCS, completed a docking contract, and used booster to get high orbit kerbin science. When I was done, booster stayed in orbit, pod went back to surface [12:27:51] phase 2: decided to use the booster as a sort of tug, had a lot more D-V than I planned for. [12:28:56] launch probe lander on reusable launch core, docked it to booster. Boosted to minmus. lander disconnected, capture orbit. Booster swings by, a little correction burn, 9 days it returns down to LKO. lander will spend a few days on minmus before giong back. [12:29:28] lol thats similiar to my system [12:29:45] well really only need a day or so. It'll give me a chance to return tug back to LKO, and bring the lander launch system back down to surface [12:29:48] i launched "pusher" rocket and lander seperately [12:30:02] docked em then landed on mun then minium and got back home [12:30:08] ah [12:31:06] I've normally boosted to LKO, second stage boosted to minmus, everything was dumped. Since I had this thing in LKO challenge was getting lander transfered over without burning things up too much [12:31:14] thats one thing I wish I can do - control BOTH ships. [12:31:26] ie if im close enough, I can control each [12:31:31] click control click another [12:31:55] when I disconnected booster and lander, I managed to bring vectors in close match down to minmus [12:32:51] ya.. I captured at minmus, didn't realize how fast booster was going to end up getting away. I needed to switch control but it was long past the 2km mark by the time lander circularized [12:33:23] JVFoxy: I'm a bit confused. Can you post screenshots of your tech tree and ship? [12:33:24] had to do a 12m correction to bring booster path high enough over kerbin so didn't burn up [12:33:56] darsie hold on.. forgot I had ksp runnign in background. lol. [12:35:07] double lol.. hold on, let me pull from VAB.. both lander and booster in minmus shadow. ugh. [12:36:15] in the VAB, put the mouse near the fairing, so we can see inside. [12:36:28] ... I know. Though I'll do you one better [12:43:05] ok sorry about that: https://imgur.com/a/INbXQjw [12:43:37] np :) [12:43:55] no tech tree, though :) [12:44:27] how is that going to help? [12:44:38] To know what you can use. [12:44:46] Did you ask for help? [12:45:22] was more sharing things.. [12:45:53] I do have my moments, not sure where to go. I just take a break, get back to things later. [12:47:43] I was going to 3 crew out to mun.. got the mk1-3, but then couldn't get heatshield.. figured may as well run minmus, found out booster just happened to be in right place to meet up after launch [12:48:14] I should give my GroundConstruction assembly station on Minmus some time to produce materials. Need more patience :) [12:49:18] I would love to do a north pole base. I've a design I can fly out in parts. Just need to get it ported over from old game [12:49:24] So many RCS engines instead of a reaction wheel. Realism ftw :). [12:50:09] lander and mk1... can't exactly translate sideways or fore/aft with RW alone.. [12:50:24] Ah, you're docking, too. [12:50:30] I hadn't bought RW actually.. just been using the builtin ones on pods and probes [12:50:40] RCS makes that easier, yes. [12:50:56] Ohh, right, the capsule has one. [12:51:03] technically, I've done docking without RCS.. I sorta jumped the gun a little in those sessions [12:51:44] crew pod RWs are stupidly strong and fast.. [12:51:57] You can reduce that. [12:52:06] I know.. [12:52:14] I actually turn the stupid things off when I build place.. also dump mono [12:52:17] overshoots stupidly when you do that, though. [12:52:26] ... when i build planes.. ugh [12:53:09] I usually use them for stability.. or something like the booster where even stock RCS too big [13:00:44] any case... pause for now..

[17:57:03] ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [17:57:22] who knows [17:57:33] robotic parts and new surface features sound nice [17:57:53] too bad i bought the game in 2014 [17:58:00] but i simply havent ehard about it before [17:58:22] (Despite the /topic change, you should still hug your local shadowbird) [17:58:36] and i still dont know what that is [17:59:52] Compare with "UmbralRaptor" [18:37:12] hehe wolfie6020: "extremely harsh living conditions in western australia" while filming next to swimming pool in a hotel probably [18:45:27] Ooh, robotic parts. Nice. I was pondering to try the Infernal Robotics mod but that didn't look up to date [18:46:42] i always wanted to package planes and probes inside fairings [18:47:06] ok i managed to build a one hinge rotating wing plane for this purpose, but i was never really satisfied with it [18:48:17] hehe action lab stole the cold fire video idea from thought emporium [19:00:08] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:18:51] Last message repeated 1 time(s).
