[00:22:57] ooh, KSP shirts. but no Jebediah Kerman's Junkyard and Spaceship Parts Co. mugs, yet ;/ [01:15:33] did the Mk 1 cockpit always have an invisible ladder or is that new in 1.9? https://formularfetischisten.de/~packbart/temp/foo.jpg [01:16:32] I seem to remember Jeb having trouble getting back up there. Now there's a "[F] Grab" hint. maybe I always missed it [01:21:54] Aerobraking at Eve: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot21.png [01:24:20] All rights Take-Two Interactive, Inc. [03:28:38] My klaw pivot jammed. Couldn't correct and almost lost my asteroid. Started rolling the asteroid to cancel the misalignment on average, somewhat. [03:28:53] reload, restart didn't help. Gonna try reattach. [03:41:37] Got it. Pe is out of Eve's atmosphere. Asteroid in LEO. Contract complete.

[08:09:30] 7*4/84+9217+ [10:23:29] lol scott [10:23:51] because drain valves have a thrust, you can use them as engines :) [10:24:04] quick, someone let danny know [10:24:15] or make a plane using it yourselkf [10:24:29] lol they can drain intake air too :) [10:24:48] so essentially an infinite fuel plane [10:25:11] :) [10:25:39] reminds me of the old style jets [10:27:25] one of manga plot has water snake that got so powerful that its called water disaster. [10:27:51] how? easy enough, its a game type universe, and it had ability to purify water, and it gains power when in purified water [10:28:02] it also gained ability to make water more dense [10:28:44] which means more purified water around it, so it loops, stealing water from world [10:29:10] ksp had couple that could be used to make a "disaster". like my snowflake plane [10:29:31] 5,000 kps just using drag/trust inequality [10:29:37] *thurst [10:29:41] how is it possible that i dont know of this isekai? :) [10:30:48] A Reincarnated Demon’s Tales of Wonder [10:31:01] its not super amazing but its fun to read [10:31:30] world has 8 disasters, including water one I menioned heh [10:31:45] seems to be light novel [10:32:04] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [10:33:08] yeah. right now im reading the simulacrum. its more typical "die and find self in weird universe" but it twists it around a lot. charactor dont remember past life at all, but guy certainly remember the basic facts [10:33:23] you probably will really enjoy that one [10:36:16] I hate it when that happens [10:36:42] other unusual one is world keeper. [10:37:25] it starts with driver driving when really tired, and hitting someone, which turns out to be a keeper. and whatever kills keeper becomes a keeper [10:37:57] everything got wiped with keeper so new one have to make new world, etc [10:38:32] 451 chapters, that one [10:40:39] Althego: they have thrust, but it's so insignificant that you can hardly do anything with it [10:40:51] yet scott made it into orbit [10:40:58] mat3ch i made ion engine plane. granted, it was pre-nerf... [10:41:09] someone else made ion engine plane go to space [10:45:17] Ions alone cannot get to space [10:45:30] But Electricity + ion is possible [10:45:36] they can if you start from a maountain tio [10:45:44] lol but of course [10:45:46] Unless you launch from the highest mountain, then it might just about be possible [10:46:02] video i saw guy started from landing stri[ [10:46:08] so thats near sea level [10:46:14] By Electricity + ion I mean other electric propulsion, like propellors [10:46:15] its pre-nerf [10:46:16] how old is that video? [10:46:20] Ok [10:46:25] it was possible back then, yes [10:46:40] Yeah, back in the old days, it could be done easily [10:46:47] yeah. my "carplane" that uses ion engine cant even power itself around [10:46:54] its hard actually even prenerf [10:46:57] I couldnt do it [10:47:04] Deddly: with props high enough, then switching to ions and ditching the props? ;) [10:47:11] Mat2ch, yes [10:47:17] I'd like to see that [10:47:20] what ion nerf? [10:47:39] anyway i didnt use it at all, so a nerf is not going to change my mind [10:47:39] ion engine had a nerf while ago, huge impact on perforance when in air [10:48:08] Bradley Whistance did it from the mountain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz3VkTPzSw4 [10:48:08] YouTube - Orbiting Kerbin with only ion engines - KSP [10:48:12] ah you mean the one years ago [10:48:43] It's not that ions got nerfed so much as isp was correctly implemented according to atmospheric pressure [10:49:23] bah its still a nerf, I cant fly a ion plane anymore lol [10:49:27] But this is my favourite ions to orbit project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee59XkEufjA [10:49:27] YouTube - KSP - Duna and back using ONLY electric power and Xenon! [10:49:54] Action: Deddly AFK [11:08:53] turns out even though it's at the top of a hill the minimus base still is in darkness a long time [11:09:06] RTGs! [11:09:12] Or a big tower [11:09:25] deddly yeah that things awesome. its no wonder its your fav [11:09:27] yes, go and build a huuuuuuuge tower on Minmus! [11:09:36] very tall thin tower with solars on top [11:09:41] auto aiming solar panels [11:10:21] Funny thing. My Jool exploration vessel is so big that when it comes in loading range you can see it pretty well... [11:10:29] *into loading range [11:10:43] time for some indoor rain [11:18:26] hehe i have just started to listen to lhbp approach through liveatc. the hungarian accent of the controller is just too strong to bear [11:30:05] matt lowne... just who thinks of visiting dres when a new update is released? [11:32:46] i didn't bring enough I-beams for a large tower [11:33:57] game seems to treat the sun as one tiny light source, instead of a spread out one. so even though i can see it, it's treated as blocked by terrain [11:34:36] it is worse than that [11:34:51] there are regular eclipses because of the equatorial orbits many thigns have [11:34:59] and when that happens [11:35:04] the sun continues to shine [11:35:09] but there is no power on the solar panels [11:35:30] i'm not worried about eclipses [11:36:33] but driving around with a rover i've seen there is a sharp edge between "full power" and "no power", with no partial shade transition [11:37:13] there should be on planets with atmosphere [11:37:52] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sh8_3-R90I interesting [11:39:16] this has nothing to do with atmosphere [11:39:29] it does because there is some scattering [11:39:39] this is about the sun being a circle, not a point [11:40:32] that effect is a lot smaller than the scattering [11:41:48] after noon nap [11:42:21] but i don't care about the scattering [12:10:44] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQN_JuWhFqU srsly [12:11:00] they didn't hire Danny as beta tester? They really should. :D [12:13:09] there is people that think planes fly on compressed gas? jeez lol [12:13:39] technically not that wrong [12:13:49] but something needs to be there to compress the gas [12:14:03] i'm fairly sure you can make a pneumatic airplane [12:15:08] there apparently was a french guy who built a pneumatic car, and some guy tried convincing me that it costs only 1/5 of regular fuel [12:15:24] air pressure buses does exist [12:15:45] ... which i totally believe works, but i have no intention of believing the price [12:16:05] "thermal staging" [12:16:06] Nice [12:16:59] so... when i launched this rocket, i put all sorts of foundations and connector parts with me in storage, but they all seemed to have disappeared [12:47:31] I really need another level of time warp. Waiting 2 years on max timewarp still takes too long :P [12:51:42] i think i'll need to use this debug feature https://github.com/ihsoft/KAS/wiki/Legacy-parts-destiny#using-kis-to-cleanup-the-game [13:02:23] I've again got doubts on that design https://i.imgur.com/tpupZuT.png [13:04:21] i don't like parts clipping like that [13:04:31] me neither [13:10:05] https://imgur.com/a/fP1qAVZ also this looks distressingly beautiful... [13:10:05] https://i.imgur.com/safdp7u.png [13:10:57] it could go wreong in so many ways [13:14:32] can i modify the time that splash screen images are shown? it switches a little too fast for my taste [13:17:37] that means your computer is too fast ;) [13:17:55] that can't be true :p [13:19:36] what's the purpose of that mission Mat2ch ? [13:26:13] yolo [13:39:40] hatrix: doing all the World Firsts Contracts in order... [13:40:02] which means having a huge Jool mission to explore all planets. Hopefully the game doesn't screw me over again :P [13:48:13] something is not right https://ibin.co/5CQHIfavtBVD.jpg [13:48:33] i docked using the fuel transfer thingie, and it started drifting through the wall [13:49:17] RTS-1 Resource Transfer Station [13:50:17] because you clicked "docking mode" and didn't set "same-vessel interaction"? [13:52:47] that would explain the "through the wall" part, but not the drifting in the first place, which before docking was prevented by the brakes [13:53:24] i think i need a more rigid connector here [14:03:37] yeah, it works better with the telescope arm [15:08:31] using the resource transfer station as some sort of "power line" doesn't seem to work... [15:09:13] parts "attached to ground" seem to drift around [15:10:55] parts or wheels? the autostrutted suspension might try and drag you towards the heaviest part [15:14:36] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:15:11] docked mode is magic. https://i.imgur.com/Teguj15.mp4 [15:15:43] lol [15:22:41] packbart: i put a pylon on the ground, and connected it in undocked mode. after a while it disconnected [15:24:10] you must construct additional pylons :) [15:25:30] wrong game :p [15:35:59] odd. I only used the plain ground pylons so far, to construct permanent relay stations and such [15:36:27] do you have WorldStabilizer installed? it doesn't play nice with ground pylons, iirc [15:38:43] no [16:33:03] i know there's not windows on this planet to break us free, but maybe one will be just enough for some dignity [17:32:19] in my dreams, i am dirty broke, beautiful and free [19:21:42] less than 1 hour until cygnus [19:44:48] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5ApQ8k_Gt0 [19:44:48] YouTube - Northrop Grumman Antares and Cygnus Launch to the International Space Station [19:45:38] also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op84bubZvwc [19:45:38] YouTube - LIVE: Launch of Antares Rocket with Cygnus CRS-13 Cargo Craft for Space Station [20:11:26] 10 minutes [20:18:24] 3 minutes [20:20:58] what inhuman takes away the timer befrore the launch [20:21:27] launch [20:22:20] IRC nominal [20:25:25] SpaceX has cameras on the boosters... [20:26:09] yes, even the soyuz has a camera on the upper stage [20:26:45] spacex makes the best show [20:26:50] maybe rocket labs comes after them [20:26:50] solid fuel stage 2? [20:27:05] spacex is like 90% marketing [20:27:10] especially when they are going to start catching the boosters [20:27:28] they dont even need marketing, they are the cheapest because of obviosu reasons [20:30:10] net says solid second stage [20:30:43] yeah.. right... [20:30:57] well, SpaceX does get the audio routing right ;) [20:31:13] this phone, and the previous hot mic incident [20:31:28] dont know if it was lame or funny [20:31:57] weird graphic glitches [20:32:00] lol [20:32:27] we can compare this with spacex tomorrow [20:47:03] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:36:54] Last message repeated 1 time(s).

[22:31:14] Flayer: and SpaceX does good marketing, but their product is als superb [22:48:55] i have my doubts about some of their finances [22:49:20] their product is excellent though, yeah, in terms of the mechanical aspects [22:49:48] it is seriously impressive to see two of them return at the same time on the falcon heavy [22:58:36] I have no doubt about their finances. [22:58:48] They sell a rocket for 60 Million, but fly it 10 times. [22:58:56] Well, the first stage at least [22:59:16] Others take even more money for the same service and throw their vehicle away [22:59:26] so they're making big money with every launch [22:59:33] because there is no competition [23:00:02] Starlink launch postponed to Monday [23:00:08] https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1228811526464667648 [23:00:09] <✔SpaceX> Standing down from tomorrow’s Starlink launch; team is taking a closer look at a second stage valve component. Now… https://t.co/A5F2fRgjv2 [23:00:19] Didn't we have a bot here telling us the launch dates? :P [23:01:26] not sure... [23:31:29] I see stock vessels include a Val-Copter now https://formularfetischisten.de/~packbart/temp/foo.jpg [23:32:00] uses reaction wheels for steering, though. I was going to test the new rotor controls [23:34:06] [SimCopter voice] Val-Copter One reporting heavy traffic [23:37:49] landed it without breakin anything. nice tri-copter [23:39:00] yay
