[04:15:33] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [04:28:34] giving myself a little side project: see if I can rebuild my Dakota spaceplane from KSP 1.0.5 in one of the more current versions of the game [05:00:29] looks a lot cleaner without a couple of fuel lines.. [05:06:15] yay [05:17:18] https://imgur.com/a/OYgwAC6 [05:17:36] new is first two pics, older version on bottom [05:18:27] got some decent left over DV, about 800 during the last test when didn't have the brakes, radiators on it [05:19:28] vaguely blackbird looks [05:19:35] also yay for auto struts. :) [05:19:54] those too [05:20:16] 7.6g on pitch, nothing blowing off [05:22:08] a little worried about rocket power phase though. single swivel does get it up there, if I'm careful [05:29:03] actually. other than a bit of heating on the Big S wings, this time 917dv left over in 71km orbit. huh [05:29:27] The radiators weren't on the original [05:30:31] did away with the reaction wheels, not sure why I had them on there in the first place [05:40:32] ooof.. a little bit of a handful on the way down. drop vel down to 1900m/s orbital, things get toasty but with those brakes, slows it down pretty quick. Aero gets a little messy leave them on for too long [05:41:07] just cruising back to ksp right now on two of the four jets [05:48:06] ok stupid aero modeling, plane keeps wanting to roll to one side all the time despite everything's strutted, rigid and mirrored. :\ [05:57:19] lol.. good news, bad news? didn't make it to KSP, made it to the western shore of the mainland at least, 9 seconds of jet power left [06:05:40] i just add a tiny bit of trim [06:05:54] but that roll is stupid [06:07:02] it over compinastes [06:07:21] think it has something to do with body lift not being properly mirrored with some parts [06:08:36] I might try connecting the S wings to the center body instead of the engine/fuel pods on the sides, but later when I feel like it [10:04:00] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v Hikaru' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [10:39:48] this morning i let my phone update. and now i have a rotating high res mars on the lock screen, i really like it [11:14:54] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v Hikaru' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [12:18:44] "Uses the new part highlighting capability introduced in KSP 0.90" - ageless mod descriptions :) [12:20:50] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v Hikaru' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [12:39:43] minotaur launch in 20m: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUUc6rYpm4U [12:39:43] YouTube - NASAWallops Live Stream [12:41:21] t-20 min [12:56:40] I thought of leaving a 5 command seat extension magnetically stuck to my space station, but not connected, so it would be there if a contract asks for an extension. But during time warp it would clip into each other. [12:56:43] hold at t-16 [13:01:00] would it count as an extension if it was launched before the contract was accepted? [13:25:41] packbart: I think so. [13:26:41] Actually, I've recycled an extension already.

[17:17:34] hehe martin's spaceship studio desk [19:26:01] why is there always people honking at 9:20-9:30 PM [19:26:45] better than honking at 4:20 :) [19:41:47] banging pots and stuff here 7pm [19:57:07] Two annoyng ACs here. [20:07:11] didn't get much sleep last night, to people talking just outside my window. Had to tell them I could hear everything.. [21:32:57] ok that was weird ... KSP froze, went into 'you want to send a report' mod, then refused to go away till I forced it a few times under taskmanager. Wonder if my GPU over heated
