CQ! All hands to action stations, prepare for high thrust! [02:01:31] This is not a drill, repeat, this is not a drill. [02:01:43] [the needle moves to somewhere between 1 and 10 cm/s^2 [02:01:46] ] [02:02:42] how many G is that? :p [02:03:19] about 0.001-0.01? [02:04:24] yeah [02:04:40] All hands, brace. RCS warning in effect. [02:04:51] (I mean, it would be amazing if an ion engine ever did it) [02:07:11] Maybe plasma/low end, not melt your engine fusion drive? [02:07:48] hrm [02:08:07] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders how high thrust electro-thermal water RCS could be). [02:08:29] One thing Children of a Dead Earth does not seem to implement, at least in the stock version, are RCS quads. [02:09:06] So your ships only turn with rather wasteful main engine high angle gimbal burns. [02:10:10] eek [02:10:50] That would make docking, ah, interesting, considering that any ship worth their salt are also nuclear powered. [02:11:23] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders an out-of-control warship irradiating a docking repair vessel. [02:15:31] There are mods, too, that add silly high performance propulsion systems ala The Expanse. [02:16:34] That would presumably lead to some silly encounters? [02:17:35] I sort of like the present-day NTR performance. It makes it more a puzzle game than anything else. [02:18:24] Like, "Hm, I could burn through 2,000 m/s of delta-v to dodge these missiles but give the enemy the space guage, or I could see if I can intercept them with my own missiles to give me the upper hand in delta-v." [02:19:15] Action: Scolar_Visari also ponders why the game insists on gunnery CIWS as a primary means of defense instead of intercepting missiles as is the case in real life anti-missile defense. [02:26:58] ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [02:27:09] point defence lasers? [02:35:09] I pointed my laser at ppl in the park who played loud music at midnight. With spread beam so they don't get harmed. [02:35:29] uh [02:35:57] They reduced the volume. My flat mate has to work tomorrow. [02:40:28] Action: darsie installed 1.7 today and landed on the Mun. [02:41:24] 3 separate flights, flyby, orbit, landing, to get all the contract rewards. [02:41:58] The new maneuver node tuning is great. [02:42:13] I wanted that a long tim. [02:42:14] e [02:42:30] UmbralRaptop: Lasers sort of stink but the game does feature rather effective, Expanse style rapid fire coil guns. [02:43:55] Action: Scolar_Visari still grumbles at the PDC's tendency to have their rights go through the entire hull of a ship, rather unlike most penetrator rounds in real life. [02:47:32] Unless ships in The Expanse are armored with paper. [02:55:00] Action: Scolar_Visari looks up videos of depleted uranium using penetrator tests with footage of the after-penetration effects, gets videos on, "lethal radioactivity" of DU instead. [02:59:30] Action: Scolar_Visari also forgets we're in the future, 360 degree videos are a thing. [03:01:27] Scolar_Visari, are you talking about a mod or a game other than KSP? [03:02:44] Children of a Dead Earth, a very, very, very hard sci-fi space combat game. [03:03:11] Not only is there no FTL, there's also nothing higher performance propulsion wise than NTR and low-end plasma rockets. [03:03:22] Action: UmbralRaptop really should play that at some point [03:04:32] Action: UmbralRaptop assumes that ships in The Expanse have muzzle velocities high enough to cause some relativistic effects [03:05:43] That doesn't seem to be the case and, if it were, I can imagine the rounds turning into an immutably deadly plasma after penetration. [03:07:09] Action: Scolar_Visari notes the PDCs are only used at human spitting distance ranges. [03:20:07] hrm [03:22:27] Action: JVFoxy ehs... chews on code, frustrated with constant crashes [03:23:04] crashes or crashes? [03:23:39] application crapping out.. [03:24:06] its installed on two different systems.. yet, keeps pulling some subscript error. [03:24:45] ah. also, aaaaaaaaa [03:27:47] home PC (windows 7 64) and laptop (windows 10 32), this stupid little program.. it'll run ok, but, randomly when it has to transfer data to a port, it'll crash.. I can't debug it because thanks to MS Visual Studio being stupid [04:28:04] yeah steam... downloading game 37.0 of 38.5 MB... remaining time: 2 hours [04:30:06] 37.8/38.5 rmemaining: 9 days [08:21:21] Can anyone help out? Trying to figure out what a digital camera cost new, but I can't find the model. HP Photosmart 210 Digital camera. no idea if it's because of the age or the rarity... [08:36:19] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [09:57:30] Draconiator: are you sure about the name? Photosmart is a printer series, not camera afaik [10:02:04] hehe [10:45:36] well, the image search reveals, they used Photosmart for cams, too [10:46:30] But photosmart 210 seems to be a printer. [10:46:43] And yes, it really looks like HP doesn't make any digital cameras anymore [10:47:16] https://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Photosmart-210-Digital-Camera/312564485595 well [10:48:43] It's good for HP that there are no curse words allowed here. I have some very obscene in mind, when I think about their product naming department. [10:49:03] Draconiator: the ebay link above shows: It's old. [11:05:44] it was inevitable [14:01:55] haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q1MPrgea1M [14:01:55] YouTube - EEVblog #1200 - BUSTED! - Energizer & Duracell NiMH [14:27:00] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:10:00] lol the m87 supermassive black hole picture resulted in... black hole chan waifu memes :) [15:13:55] It turns our that the intersection of horny, interested in science, and want to die is rather large [15:16:10] did you really just question rule 34?
