[01:12:23] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [02:10:32] HA, I just landed a probe on the Mun with 5 m/s left. I think that's a personal record [02:11:33] I think my previous was ~25 m/s [02:48:03] Heh, and the second one pancaked at 10 m/s, but the important bits survived [03:00:56] what do you mean 5 m/s left? [07:20:39] that would make getting back slightly difficult [11:16:44] What's the lowest orbit for Ike? I thought I had 10km but when I landed I couldn't find the craft in orbit anymore :( [11:16:53] I think it crashed, any way I can check that? [11:18:32] The map says Low orbits are 10 km above obstacles or atmosphere and gives 10 km for Ike, but Ike isn't a perfect sphere ... [11:18:57] rip my spacecraft [11:19:14] luckily, bad designs allows me to get back to Kerbin with the lander [11:19:15] 10 km sounds safe, though. [11:20:32] hehe [11:21:47] 3 000m/s is enough for a Ike -> Kerbin, right? [11:22:04] Use the map, Luke. [11:22:11] the maps says it's ok [11:22:16] more than enough [11:22:29] with around 800 you can get back to kerbin from duna [11:22:32] low orbit [11:22:48] Usually you can get away with less, if you have an efficient design and fly well. [11:27:13] There's a large spike on Ikes north pole, but I don't think it's >10 km. [11:27:54] ok nice, from Ike I should only need 630 to get an encounter :) [11:28:08] well, 10km is pretty low for some spikes [11:29:43] iirc you don't crash into planets if you don't have the physics bubble loaded [11:30:41] no, you can totally lose crafts by leaving them in a wrong orbi [11:30:51] or maybe that was just atmosphere? [11:31:48] that has such an effect too [11:37:06] I had a ship disappear at 13451 m on Duna: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot183.png [11:37:35] oops [11:38:44] that is too low lol [11:38:54] oh wait it is not even in orbit [11:57:43] That ship even disappears wiht 10 km Pe while the focus is on a ship in solar orbit and 100x warp. [11:58:11] KER didn't predict an impact. [11:58:45] My 1.7.3 setup has some bugs, though. [11:59:06] Like missing the 'focus camera here' menu item. [12:20:01] wasn't there a setting for "show advanced options"? [12:20:11] haven't played the game in ages [12:20:35] advanced tweakables [12:21:14] Yes, you're my hero :). [12:21:16] That was it. [12:21:29] Reinstalled KSP in vein. [12:22:53] Now I gotta reinstall my mods ... [13:30:14] is that ok for an Eve lander? https://i.imgur.com/ofMFama.png [13:58:02] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:40:02] yeah it worked, first try :) [16:40:05] made an album https://imgur.com/a/MNOPFoo [16:46:55] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:52:50] i usually hide the drogue under the main [16:53:08] 4, even 2 is normally too many [16:53:12] nice mission [16:59:28] I figured it was too many but I prefered to be cautious [16:59:47] did you do the measurements in atmosphere high, low and ground? [17:01:51] nope, only one :/ [17:02:03] I didn't have anything to store the data or transmit [17:02:07] conclusion: you have to send an other one for those too :) [17:02:19] next mission will be a mobile processing lab [17:06:29] selection process for the crew: must like purple [17:06:57] thos scientifs are never coming back you're right [17:08:23] but now I need money, that mission was 300k… [18:34:10] I mean, you could launch a rescue mission in a decade or 3 [19:10:04] now that's a shitty relay network I have around Duna https://i.imgur.com/nnvvOoq.png [19:10:26] My craft -> Orbital station around Duna -> Network aroudn eve x2 -> Kerbin [19:10:45] Action: UmbralRaptop fines hatrix for violating the verbal morality statue [19:10:51] statute [19:11:14] the wonders of Magic CommNet :) [19:11:19] the fine for violating the statue is even higher [19:11:26] lol [19:20:43] touchdown on Ike with 0 fuel left at 15 meters high! [19:20:50] perfect design [19:21:26] \o/ [19:23:00] earned roughly 600k with a craft that cost 70k :) [19:24:03] Seems like a decent ROI [19:27:28] I like to create albums https://imgur.com/a/9mHYQkq [19:38:04] boom, got a contract for an outpost on Eve, I'll use this one for my mobile processing mission :) [19:38:36] wtf, 6000 units of fuel on an outpost :o [19:38:44] how am I supposed to land that kind of thing [19:38:52] hehe i hate these fuel requirements [19:38:57] i usually ignore these [19:39:02] you land and mine it later [19:39:20] you still need an empty tank no? [19:39:27] but that is not heavy [19:39:41] I need to find a design that is both stable and won't burn [19:39:57] inflatable heatshield solves everything [19:40:21] I need 11 kerbals, 6000 fuel and mobile lab [19:40:28] that's going to be a nice outpost [19:41:25] 11 prisoners [19:41:37] they don't require anyone on board, I'll just toss a scientist [20:16:15] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:38:38] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net
