The white/red ones are carbon-zinc, and the green ones are rechargables. I prefer non rechargables for my mouse though. [03:12:48] <GlassYuri> https://i.imgur.com/CnxYnDN.png [05:11:46] <Aviatior101> Hey Is there any mod that has paragliders [05:55:24] <taniwha> the oracle of the internet indicates "yes" [05:55:30] <taniwha> (gone, but still...) [07:03:36] <diveyez> Hey what is that mod that allows a player to setup a secod computer as a hud and such? [07:04:32] <taniwha> krpc or something like that [07:06:00] <diveyez> Its not that one [07:06:10] <diveyez> I remember using it in 2015 and 2016 [07:06:35] <taniwha> konrad? [07:06:37] <diveyez> This was just for information display [07:06:50] <diveyez> telemachus is it [07:06:52] <diveyez> Yes thanks [07:07:01] <taniwha> ah, yes [07:07:06] <taniwha> sorry, I'd forgotten, too [07:07:31] <diveyez> Yeah, I have a windows surface and a few raspberry pi's [07:07:40] <diveyez> Figure I can get use out of one of them with telemachus [07:07:47] <diveyez> Or all of them XD [07:11:38] <diveyez> https://github.com/chrisnic/mkon [07:11:41] <diveyez> Check this out [07:11:49] <diveyez> I wonder if there is a better front end [07:12:06] <diveyez> Having the windows surface as a touchscreen hud would be realistic kek [07:14:21] <taniwha> nice [07:14:28] <taniwha> such would be good for cinematics [07:20:25] <diveyez> Yeah [07:20:45] <diveyez> There is no plugin folder in the current release so I dont know how to install mkon properly [07:21:19] <diveyez> My bad I downloaded source (Dev Habit) [07:27:18] <diveyez> Testing [07:27:38] <diveyez> taniwha: I will let you know if it works since it hasnt been updated recently, perhaps I can fork and fix it [07:34:49] <diveyez> Game crash, crapo [07:37:41] <diveyez> The window reflection mod caused it [07:37:44] <diveyez> Herh [07:38:05] <diveyez> "Window Shine" [07:39:02] <Althego> hehe [07:44:59] <diveyez> Hmm, now it crashes at mercury parachute box [07:45:05] <diveyez> Anyone know why it would do that? [07:47:47] <diveyez> Dang, I like fasa [07:54:33] <diveyez> It was FASA Mercury Parachute box, no idea why that one part broke it. [07:54:41] <diveyez> Might have to sort that, I like that mod [07:54:46] <taniwha> diveyez: you running 32-bit instead of 64-bit? [07:54:53] <diveyez> OFC not [07:55:09] <taniwha> 1.2 mod in 1.3? [07:55:12] <diveyez> Im trying to setup a mod pack for me and a few friends to play DMP [07:55:14] <diveyez> No [07:55:23] <taniwha> then I don't know [07:55:30] <diveyez> Its just that Mercury Parachute Box [07:55:37] <diveyez> It worked last week \o/ [07:55:43] <taniwha> :/ [07:58:45] <diveyez> Surface Experiments Gofclub crashed it this time [07:59:01] <diveyez> I wonder if I updated those recently,hmmm [08:02:28] <Althego> hehe, wait for the making history expansion, there will be a parachute [08:04:29] <diveyez> Lol [08:04:43] <diveyez> Who needs parachuted when you have SpaceX [08:05:08] <diveyez> Random stuff is crashing the load now, this is weird, never have I seen such random crash [08:05:08] <Althego> parachute for kerbals [08:05:16] <diveyez> Oh, That is cool [08:05:22] <taniwha> Althego: give Elon time ;) [08:05:30] <Althego> for what [08:05:42] <diveyez> StarMan hypersonic parachutes [08:05:43] <Althego> to make kerbal parachutes? we dont ned elon for that [08:06:03] <taniwha> to give EVA humans powered landings [08:06:42] <Althego> hehe [08:07:01] <Althego> let's start with a powered exoskeleton first, then we can add rockets to that later [08:07:11] <Althego> because having starship troopers is cool [08:07:57] <Gasher[work]> Althego, like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2PuYXQ--4Q [08:07:57] <kmath> YouTube - Mini jet engines power this flight suit [08:08:54] <Althego> tyes, it is more or less iron man inspired, the guty even talked about it that he could control it exactly the way tony did in the movie [08:09:24] <Althego> what he assumed that it was cgi, but in reality he was standing on surfaces held up by wires, so that is why it was so realistic in the movie [08:10:04] <Gasher[work]> it looks very stupid to me [08:10:33] <Gasher[work]> like, controlling jets with hands - you should use automatic controls for that [08:10:39] <Gasher[work]> at least for stabilisation [08:12:10] <Althego> yes people still ride bikes [08:12:17] <Althego> *yet [08:12:24] <Althego> it is equally stupid [08:12:28] <Althego> and they dont even fly [08:13:12] <Gasher[work]> that's the exact point - when you lose control you have at least some chances [08:13:15] <taniwha> bikes are weirdly stable when moving (you don't notice the feedback loop) [08:13:58] <Gasher[work]> lol [08:14:42] <Gasher[work]> taniwha, i was thinking sometimes how fast you should go on bike to have its gyroscope effect of the wheels to counteract say, a hit on the wheel's axis by a small tree [08:15:13] <Althego> there are other effect [08:15:14] <Althego> s [08:15:33] <Althego> at least the bicycle stability is not explained completely by the gyroscope of the wheels [08:15:34] <taniwha> it's more that you can shift the position of the wheels below your com [08:15:49] <taniwha> very quickly [08:16:11] <taniwha> or maybe it's the steering forces [08:16:21] <taniwha> but yeah, it's more than gyroscopic [08:17:52] <Althego> https://www.nature.com/news/the-bicycle-problem-that-nearly-broke-mathematics-1.20281 [08:17:57] <Althego> i think i need to read this now [08:18:22] <diveyez> KerbalKrashSystems or Telemachus broke it, it works now. [08:18:38] <taniwha> probably KKS [08:18:48] <taniwha> I know it caused me some trouble when I last tried it [08:58:38] <Gasher[work]> this time the klaw worked https://i.imgur.com/gtphQi1.png [08:58:50] <Gasher[work]> i don't know if the aircraft would though [09:07:29] <Gasher[work]> it flies! https://i.imgur.com/ml7shod.jpg https://i.imgur.com/EOFhPbo.jpg [09:09:57] <Gasher[work]> hm, looks like the asteroid was a bit off, i should have unlocked pivot before taking off and ensure that it was in the center [09:23:11] <Gasher[work]> hm, can you roll asteroid over KSC to harvest science? [09:25:56] <taniwha> in theory [09:26:11] <Gasher[work]> i need a bulldozer [09:34:58] <Mat2ch> uh, how does that work? [09:35:16] <Mat2ch> Analyzing an asteroid in different biomes gives different science points? [09:36:36] <Gasher[work]> in different biomes [09:37:19] <Althego> does it have any science at all? [09:37:27] <Althego> i used to try to science them but htey never did anything [09:37:42] <Gasher[work]> https://i.imgur.com/tYBBhwI.jpg [09:38:08] <Gasher[work]> https://i.imgur.com/L06NKtX.jpg [09:38:11] <Gasher[work]> Althego, [09:39:36] <Mat2ch> ok, next time I start a career I'm not mining Minmus and Mun but asteroids for max science points ;P [09:39:51] <Gasher[work]> when it was collected first time https://i.imgur.com/lWrlBYb.png [09:40:19] <Althego> this is funny [09:40:26] <Gasher[work]> unfortunately ther fuel left in the asteroid lifter is left for only a few rides in KSC [09:40:43] <Althego> a game where you roll your asteroid around ksc to generate science [09:41:03] <Althego> try using electric cars [09:41:11] <Gasher[work]> i'd call that a dozer [09:41:48] <Gasher[work]> that plane can lift that asteroid and if the surface is flat it can detach it and then grab it back [09:44:02] <Gasher[work]> https://i.imgur.com/DK1Kvdc.png recovering [09:47:11] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|zzzz' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [10:13:00] <Einarr> taniwha: You around? [10:28:20] <taniwha> Einarr: yes [10:30:13] <Einarr> Can EPL continue building things if the vessel a 'pad' is in is not in focus? [10:30:33] <taniwha> yes [10:30:45] <Einarr> Oh, good. [10:30:47] <taniwha> sort of (it plays catch up) [10:31:28] <Einarr> Might be close enough. [10:31:42] <taniwha> usually is [10:32:36] <taniwha> the problem is when you have insufficient storage for rocket parts, but sufficient resources to make rocketparts: catching up doesn't work too well [10:32:56] <taniwha> (unless you visit frequently enough) [10:33:18] <Einarr> I always hated Kethane back in the day for the simple fact that I had to leave KSP running to complete a scan of a body...and therefore not really be able to do anything else (hardware limitations). [10:33:44] <taniwha> something I plan on fixing someday [10:33:53] <taniwha> easier said than done, though :( [10:33:59] <Einarr> So it still has that issue. :/ [10:34:07] <taniwha> sadly, yes [10:34:20] <Einarr> IIRC, ScanSat also had that issue when it first appeared. [10:34:30] <Einarr> They have since resolved it. [10:34:40] <taniwha> I need to do something for electric charge, then I can have it actually run in the background [10:35:01] <Einarr> Might be worth checking into, assuming you get up enough enthusiasm for it... [10:35:38] <Einarr> IIRC, Squad needs to fix a big with EC and high timewarp... [10:35:51] <taniwha> Squad needs to fix many things [10:35:51] <Einarr> And has needed to do so for several versions now... [10:36:29] Action: Einarr misses Lagrange points... [10:36:41] <Einarr> I used to play Orbiter a ton back in the day... [10:37:04] <Einarr> Proper n body physics allows for awesome things. [10:37:13] <taniwha> there's a mod for that [10:37:22] <taniwha> principia [10:41:32] <Einarr> I have doubts about that working well. [10:41:46] <Einarr> It's usually better if the engine is designed for it from the outset. [10:42:07] <Einarr> Rather than relying on a hackjob to add it.

[12:02:29] <Fluburtur> 1 [12:02:38] <APlayer> ve2dmn: 0. You don't fall there [12:03:06] <Althego> hehe [12:03:11] <APlayer> And if you do, a small puff of RCS and you're flying back to Eve [12:03:18] <Althego> you mean zero radalt [12:03:21] <ve2dmn> I don't want the satelitte to 'despawn' while I'm away [12:03:38] <Althego> then take a 20 km orbit that should be safe [12:03:48] <Althego> required speed is so small it doesnt matter [12:04:07] <ve2dmn> 10km is still considered 'in space high above gilly' [12:04:11] <APlayer> How high can a Kerbal jump on Eve? [12:04:31] <Althego> how mnny kerbals can fir into a capsule [12:04:48] <APlayer> Depends of the capsule [12:05:26] <Althego> i mean it is the same kind of question like how many angels can fit onto a tip of needle [12:05:42] <APlayer> Sorry?

[12:08:07] <APlayer> Fluburtur: So we had to come up with a project for school [12:08:28] <ve2dmn> According to the wiki, the high limit is 6k [12:08:53] <ve2dmn> I can't find the info on the highest peak though [12:08:55] <APlayer> We considered building a railgun. Then we dismissed it. We also considered lots of other things, but we settled on a drone. Current plan is, I think, putting a railgun on the drone [12:09:44] <APlayer> If the motors permit it, I fear this is only half-joke [12:10:03] <Fluburtur> well your current plan won't be able to carry much weight [12:10:13] <APlayer> 100 grams or so are available [12:10:50] <APlayer> If we make the railgun detachable and opt for a less maneuverable drone when it is attached, 150 grams are doable [12:11:57] <APlayer> And, I mean, it certainly would be fun :D [12:13:04] <Fluburtur> oh yeah would be [12:13:18] <ve2dmn> ok, so the highest peak on gilly is 6400... but to be considered not 'high' the limit is 6k... [12:13:31] <ve2dmn> and you cant warp below 8k [12:13:39] <ve2dmn> this is gonna be 'fun' [12:14:09] <APlayer> Can avoid the highest peaks in your orbit [12:14:37] <APlayer> Worst case, elliptic, inclined, synchronous orbit to pass low above the same spots [12:15:01] <ve2dmn> I'm mostly looking for gravity scans of the biomes... [12:15:22] <ve2dmn> so 1 pass of each and I'll put the thing back in a 10km orbit... [12:15:50] <APlayer> Then I suggest the latter option of mine [12:16:14] <ve2dmn> still got 1.5km/s of dv. I could land in each biome.... [12:16:42] <bees> do you mean "touch each biome"? [12:16:43] <APlayer> Well, then I suggest a polar, circular 7 km orbit and dropping the PE occasionally [12:16:53] <bees> because for landing you kinda need gravity [12:17:22] <taniwha> gilly has gravity [12:17:27] <taniwha> not a lot, but it's there [12:17:33] <ve2dmn> Everything has gravity [12:18:31] <ve2dmn> right now, my biggest issue is lack of warp...

[13:18:06] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:34:22] <APlayer> Fluburtur: Alright, I did some quick estimates, looks like there shall be no flying railguns for now [13:35:57] <Fluburtur> heh [13:36:00] <APlayer> Cannot use magnets to increase the strength because they weigh too much and would also throw off the electronics, and if I don't use extra magnets, I need currents on the order of a few 100 amps [13:37:12] <APlayer> The second option could perhaps be doable with a few supercaps, but I'm afraid there are no electronic switches able to withstand that [13:38:11] <taniwha> multiple in parallel [13:38:32] <APlayer> Multiple means how many? [13:39:01] <taniwha> max / dev-max [13:39:21] <taniwha> also, time is a factor [13:39:40] <APlayer> Time for what? [13:39:57] <taniwha> most device current ratings are for continuous current (though many devices might specify current/time curves) [13:40:08] <taniwha> how long the current is flowing [13:40:13] <taniwha> and for voltage: series [13:40:36] <APlayer> Well, I have not made estimates for how much time one firing would take, but likely less than half a second [13:40:53] <APlayer> Voltage would be manageable [13:41:14] <APlayer> Can't generate more than 25 or so volts in-flight [13:42:03] <APlayer> Except if we mount a supply just for that or pre-charge the caps, but I don't think we are doing either [13:42:08] <taniwha> check out boost converters :) [13:42:16] <APlayer> I am checking them out [13:42:24] <taniwha> they can be /very/ light [13:42:31] <APlayer> 25 is as high as I am going [13:42:42] <taniwha> especially if they don't need to supply much current [13:43:06] <taniwha> 25V will be hard-pressed getting you 100A though an inductor [13:43:18] <taniwha> (your electro-magnet) [13:43:27] <taniwha> V=dI/dt [13:43:36] <taniwha> er, V=L*dI/dt [13:44:24] <APlayer> https://www.pololu.com/product/799 I could perhaps even take two of those and mount them in parallel for 50 V, but that's really the limit [13:44:35] <APlayer> In series, that is [13:44:43] <taniwha> design your own :) [13:44:57] <taniwha> easy enough to get 100s-1000s of V [13:45:16] <APlayer> Well, that would certainly be beyond the scope of this project, LOL [13:45:46] <taniwha> they're not that difficult [13:45:55] <Draconiator> What are you trying to do, Player? [13:46:16] <APlayer> You sure are eager to see this done, aren't you? [13:46:48] <APlayer> Draconiator: Making a drone for a school project, had the stupidity to publicly joke about mounting a railgun on it :P [13:47:03] <taniwha> aw, no credit for finding a ground station :( [13:50:47] <Althego> a very small railgun [13:50:54] <Althego> there must be a limit where it is legal [13:51:01] <Althego> especially in the usa [13:57:27] <Althego> doese scott have a teleprompter? or is it just good editing? [14:12:19] <APlayer> taniwha: So, I just fired up falstad and tried to make a high voltage supply. I cannot really control it. I change a number, which should not affect the thing it does affect, by a little bit and the voltage gets a few 100 V higher. Or lower. I'd kill someone or at least something with high voltage if I built a regulator myself [14:13:13] <taniwha> APlayer: so poke at it until you understand how things interact [14:13:49] <GurrenLagannCWP> Hi [14:14:21] <APlayer> That's getting way beyond the scope of what I'd do [14:14:31] <APlayer> Definitely not an option [14:14:36] <Althego> https://fat.gfycat.com/SickWhimsicalAlaskankleekai.mp4 [14:19:19] <APlayer> taniwha: With 50 v I am getting an exit velocity estimate of 2 m/s, which is actually enough, I guess [14:19:41] <taniwha> yeah, don't want too high [14:19:54] <taniwha> don't want to cause injuries [14:20:16] <APlayer> And currents of 500 Amps [14:20:27] <APlayer> So much for injuries [14:20:34] <taniwha> low inductance? [14:20:42] <APlayer> Low resistance, more like [14:21:05] <taniwha> inductance (L) determines how long it takes to get to max current [14:21:19] <APlayer> Did not account for that, even [14:21:25] <taniwha> dI/dt = V/L [14:22:27] <APlayer> I am making guesstimates on the resistance of the circuit and ignoring the inductance because I have no sensible numbers [14:25:18] <APlayer> Resistance might be 0.1 ohms, because there is not much stuff. The biggest resistance would be that between the rails and the projectile, but I still think it would be quite low if I took a piece of aluminium foil that slightly presses against the rails [14:25:31] <Althego> resistance is futile :) [14:25:59] <taniwha> voltage over current is futile :P [14:26:19] <Althego> what is the unit of resistance? partisan per square mater [14:26:21] <taniwha> futility is current under voltage [14:26:30] <Althego> *meter [14:26:32] <taniwha> hehe [14:26:35] <Gasher> lol [14:27:04] <Gasher> the more close to field unit of measure would be per square kilometer really [14:27:19] <APlayer> I have a bad omen about those partisans? [14:27:34] <Althego> yes, there would be almost always less than 1 for every square meter [14:27:56] <Gasher> Althego, also there is a joke that if Newton stood on a square meter of area, he'd become Pascal [14:28:05] <Althego> hehe [14:28:11] <Gasher> Althego, unless it's death chamber lol [14:28:46] <APlayer> taniwha: So, what might be the inductance of 10 cm of wire? [14:29:00] <APlayer> Thick wire, even [14:29:01] <taniwha> straight? pretty darn low [14:29:14] <Althego> probably h as more to do with its shape [14:29:20] <Gasher> of course lol [14:29:24] <APlayer> Well, so there we go, low resistance and low inductance [14:29:47] <taniwha> APlayer: do watch out for back voltage, though [14:30:00] <APlayer> Back voltage? [14:30:14] <taniwha> (ie, when you remove the voltage, the collapsing field will create a high voltage spike) [14:30:21] <Gasher> makes a good physics exercise - calculate maximum possible inductance of 10cm of copper wire [14:30:35] <Althego> and then measure it [14:30:46] <Althego> find the reason for the difference [14:30:58] <APlayer> taniwha: I would not suddenly remove the voltage [14:31:02] <Gasher> i mean, of different form and diameter [14:31:26] <GurrenLagannCWP> I'm gonna destroy the planet! [14:31:48] <taniwha> APlayer: flicking a switch does just that [14:32:02] <APlayer> I'd have capacitors that discharge comparatively slowly when firing, and when done firing the remaining voltage would just stay there [14:32:21] <APlayer> GurrenLagannCWP: Pics or it didn't happen [14:32:26] <taniwha> capacitor + inductor = oscillator :) [14:32:45] <Althego> what do you do tonight? the same thing i do every night, i am gonna destroy the planet [14:33:41] <Fluburtur> my grandma decided to put order in my room and now I can't find anything [14:33:52] <Fluburtur> everything was exactly where it was supposed to be before [14:33:54] <Althego> hehe [14:34:12] <Althego> hah new wolfie video [14:34:20] <Althego> less than an hour ago [14:46:38] <GurrenLagannCWP> makes a new craft [14:48:13] <taniwha> gurren lagann? that was a while ago [14:48:30] <Althego> i actually intentionally skipped that [14:48:49] <taniwha> it was pretty good, though [14:49:13] <Althego> for most people haruhi was good too [14:49:24] <taniwha> yeah, I enjoyed that, too [14:49:47] <legion> i didn't like that one... (though i've read the manga only) [14:50:02] <legion> currently watching Violet Evergarden [14:50:11] <Althego> and i watched that so i could tell i watched it and can have an opinion on it (that yes, it was bad, and i would have slapped that girl sveral times) [14:50:41] <Althego> unanomious youtube comment on violet evergarden: unlimited budget works [14:50:57] <Althego> anonymous [14:51:44] <legion> i say to that: i do not know about budgets for it, i just started watching on a whim and like dit. [14:53:04] <Althego> based on the trailer it really looks good enough to warrant that comment [14:55:52] <legion> i didn't like it because of that. though it does look pretty. it is just very well written [14:56:37] <taniwha> I think kekkaishi is my favorite [14:56:38] <GurrenLagannCWP> When your name starts a conversation about anime [14:56:47] <taniwha> (both watched the anime and read the manga) [14:58:02] <legion> i usually tend to favour manga over anime if i read th emanga before seeing/knowing the anime [14:58:45] <Althego> manga takes less time and usually runs far longer [14:59:34] <legion> and doesn't cut corners on story. (usually) [15:01:24] <taniwha> the anime series ended a little differently to the manga (nothing major, just the anime had more Tokine time), but after that point, the manga was just wow [15:02:19] <taniwha> need to read it again. both for the sake of reading it, and to get my japanese reading back up [15:08:19] <legion> dang. now i've got to wait another week for th enext episode... [15:13:11] <taniwha> heh [15:14:06] <Althego> i was the watch it all in one sitting type [15:14:27] <taniwha> I did that a lot. [15:15:02] <Althego> i watched the last 96 episodes of kodomo no omochan uninterrupted :9 [15:15:12] <Althego> -n [15:15:13] <legion> eek [15:15:18] <taniwha> I'd been studying Japanese for a couple of years, then sat down and watched the first season of Slayers in one 11h marathon [15:15:23] <Althego> (only 102 episodes long) [15:15:23] <taniwha> raw :P [15:15:46] <taniwha> at the beginning, couldn't even pick out words. at the end of the first episode, was getting little bits [15:16:06] <taniwha> by the time Amelia showed up, I was getting some of the jokes [15:16:34] <taniwha> during the last 6 episodes, I was understanding most of what was being said [15:16:44] <Althego> nice progress [15:16:44] <taniwha> or thought I was :P [15:17:03] <taniwha> next day, watched season 2. same cycle, but a little faster [15:17:11] <taniwha> next day, season 3: even faster [15:17:46] <taniwha> then lost universe: couldn't finish the final episode: I was exhausted [15:17:53] <taniwha> (finished it the next day) [15:18:12] <taniwha> probably got 80+% of the story [15:18:23] <legion> it's a shame there isn't more anime on Netflix... [15:20:55] <Althego> but since i downloaded ksp in 2014 it took too much time :) [15:21:21] <taniwha> 2013 for me [15:29:55] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Dman979' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:35:39] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Distractedman979' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:41:42] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Dozeman979' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:43:33] <GurrenLagannCWP> I got a asteroid that almost got into orbit [15:44:07] <GurrenLagannCWP> Like really close, less than geostationary orbit close [15:44:24] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:45:13] <GurrenLagannCWP> I got a asteroid that almost got into orbit.

[16:21:43] <scrat9518> Basically, you'd just set up some rubber bands behind servos and release them to fire. [16:24:01] <Draconiator> nassault...my FAVORITE from him is titled "Jool" [16:26:26] <Fluburtur> nassault makes cool stuff [16:27:11] <APlayer> scrat9518: That might actually be an interesting idea. The railgun emerged from initially considering it as a standalone project and it kind of stuck. Not mounting a rubber band or spring based gun might be a fun idea to incorporate, if it works [16:27:34] <APlayer> Now mounting* [16:27:42] <Fluburtur> will flip your quad [16:27:45] <Fluburtur> if enough recoil [16:27:52] <Fluburtur> or at least push it backwards [16:27:57] <APlayer> Not going to make such a strong gun [16:28:16] <Fluburtur> I should open fusion and start making my BB machinegun thing for planes [16:29:06] <Draconiator> Ooooh, Manley narrated this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgIVnvunLuQ [16:29:07] <kmath> YouTube - V O Y A G E R - The Interstellar Quest [16:36:23] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Badie' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:37:59] <TheKosmonaut> Nassault... One of the better cinematic KSP types. It is too bad that he didn't do much after [16:43:21] <scrat9518> APlayer: I think it might be simpler because you wouldn't have to worry about EM interference from high currents. Just a thought. [16:43:38] <APlayer> It would definitely be more doable [16:44:08] <scrat9518> As for recoil, obviously that's unavoidable as the energy delivered to the payload increases. (You can blame Newton for that one.) [16:44:21] <scrat9518> With a stable quadcopter, though, it may not matter. [16:44:43] <Fluburtur> if you align the thing with the center of mass it should cancel any torque [16:44:47] <Fluburtur> or just make it close enough [16:44:50] <scrat9518> ^^^ [16:46:31] <Fluburtur> also idk how much power you can get out of a railgun [16:46:44] <Fluburtur> a more regular coilgun will probably work better [16:48:34] <APlayer> The thing is, no sort of weapon was really planned originally. We're still largely at the draft stage, so we can incorporate one now as a fun extra, though [16:49:02] <APlayer> The supervising teacher would tell us to make it fly at all first, though [16:49:42] <APlayer> Well, whatever. I'll mention it to my partner, we'll see if we like the idea and how feasible it is. Thank you for the suggestion! [16:50:03] <APlayer> And I need to go, but be back soon. See you!

[19:55:34] <Althego> i just needed a trajectory that ended up in the atmoshpere [19:58:32] <Althego> because of this it took longer to come back, there was not enough to boost the return trip [20:02:12] <Fluburtur> who wants to see my familly sorted by size [20:03:35] <RefreshingJuices> A colleague was talking about buying the game. So I felt like playing it a bit again [20:04:02] <RefreshingJuices> I always spend far too long between gos. So I always have to catch up with everything. Like getting to the mun [20:04:50] <APlayer> RefreshingJuices: We are here to help you with your first steps! :D [20:08:10] <RefreshingJuices> One thing I want to know the most though. Since I can't try for myself. Has RemoteTech fixed the automatic turning issue? [20:08:36] <RefreshingJuices> I remember something about enabling control wheels got probes spinning out of control. It made aiming telescopes very hard [20:09:18] <APlayer> I don't know of such an issue. Persistent Rotation used to have a similar one, but that was fixed a while ago [20:10:32] <Althego> lol mission. put 850 ore units from duna to orbit of ike [20:10:45] <Althego> i would normally mine that on ike if really have to [20:11:05] <Althego> and the first duna probe will be on site in about 200 days [20:11:44] <Althego> when the launch window is open. so if i start some kerbals at that time it will still take forever [20:11:51] <Althego> and completely pointless [20:12:23] <Althego> but almost 200k advance and 540 k on completion [20:12:34] <Althego> maybe that 200k advance isnt worth it [20:14:31] <RefreshingJuices> I'll just find out when I can download the game again [20:15:11] <Althego> the complete ground gravity and seismic measurements of the mun are still missing. maybe i just need to send 17 tiny probes in a shell there something [20:18:21] <APlayer> Althego: Rovers? [20:18:37] <APlayer> One per three adjoining biomes is good [20:25:56] <Althego> that would take forever [20:26:17] <Althego> most of the biomes are isolated, craters or basins or poles [20:26:29] <APlayer> Then land probes on those [20:27:50] <Althego> which is the 17 probes approach, very expensive because of the sensors [20:28:22] <APlayer> But short-cut with rovers where multiple biomes adjoin [20:28:40] <Althego> and 10 times the ain [20:28:43] <APlayer> Or biome hopping, but I never did this, so no useful advice [20:28:46] <Althego> p+ [21:09:55] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [22:08:34] <Guest10027> How do i get to other planets [22:08:55] <Fluburtur> point rocket the right way and use thruster [22:09:17] <Guest10027> Is it the same proceedure as mun landinh [22:09:32] <Fluburtur> depends how well you do that [22:09:42] <Fluburtur> but the whole transfer stuff is similar [22:10:14] <Fluburtur> there is a trasnfer angle thingy on the internet that show where planets are supposed to be located for transfers [22:10:39] <Guest10027> Oh really and you line them up [22:11:25] <Fluburtur> http://i.imgur.com/ud5UMx3h.png [22:11:32] <Fluburtur> there is a better one however [22:11:34] <Fluburtur> easier to read [22:13:27] <Guest10027> Thanks.
