[07:02:56] i'm just surprised this is still a channel [07:02:57] lol [07:03:31] :/ [07:04:22] the channel has exhausted its action points for today [07:14:13] LOL Althego [07:17:11] once channel exists its very hard for it to die [07:17:19] expecially former 700+ member channel [07:19:10] Yeah. I noticed that there's a lot of life still in here - lots of people still lurking and ready to join in when a conversation starts... case in point ;) [07:19:32] normally i wouldnt be back from work for anoither 3 hours [07:19:43] but not this time, got serious dizzy and headache spell so yeah [07:19:55] Oh, sorry to hear that [07:20:04] nah its fine [07:20:08] You OK? [07:20:29] yeah dizzyness isnt too common but it happens [07:20:37] OK, hope it passes soon [07:21:17] me too heh [07:26:26] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v Mod9000' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [09:22:59] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [10:07:10] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Mostly_Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [10:57:15] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [10:59:31] Can anyone recommend a good, ad-free, free VM for Windows? [10:59:48] I've not tried one before but I'd like to give it a go [11:03:50] what do you mean by free VM? like VirtualBox or QEMU? [11:04:12] Yeah, like - what's the difference? [11:06:05] qemu is quite fast, but could be harder to use [11:06:46] that's what Scaleway uses for virtual instances when you order one, for example [11:07:03] virtualbox might be easier if you're not used to CLIs and such [11:07:53] Hmm. Thanks for the info! [11:07:58] what OS are you running? [11:08:13] I'm running Windows [11:08:58] what are you trying to do? [11:09:45] I just wanted to try running another OS and access some of its features now and then [11:10:05] oh yeah, then VirtualBox should be quite enough for you [11:10:10] For example, I'd like to try Icaros, but I don't really want to dual boot right now [11:11:27] I'll look into it, thanks! [11:12:29] you even got some tutorials online for AROS & VirtualBox :) [11:12:43] I'm here [11:13:03] So you are, RuthJg. Welcome ;) [11:19:15] hatrix, what about VMWare Workstation? [11:19:47] expensive ;) [11:19:57] Ooh it's a paid one, eh? [11:20:12] Interesting that it doesn't mention that in the download page [11:25:51] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+b *!*Mibbit@213.108.2.*' by Judge_Dedd!~MrNiceGuy@83-219-206-219.cust.bredband2.com [11:25:56] RuthJg kicked from #kspofficial by Judge_Dedd: RuthJg [11:26:10] /msg spammer [11:26:40] was just about to say [12:01:04] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mQ2BYTsYDg uhm, I have questions [12:03:17] prove it [12:03:37] Judge_Dedd: you don't need that [12:03:47] VirtualBox is quite good and easy to use [12:04:40] darsie: my design looks bad I agree, how would you do that? Put everything vertical and assemble it in orbit? Multiple launches? [12:05:25] hatrix: These are possible alternatives. The ISS was built that way. [12:05:39] the ISS was not landed on Eve though [12:05:54] I might be wrong on this one, I'm no expert [12:05:56] But hey, you are free to play how you like. [12:06:13] No, it's true, ISS did not land on Eve :). [12:06:29] Did you land that on Eve? [12:06:45] it's only a prototype for now [12:06:55] did you see this one a week ago? https://imgur.com/a/yJCv8Gy [12:07:12] no [12:07:33] Doesn't look aerodynamically stable. [12:07:46] but idk [12:08:00] the first one was not [12:08:06] neither was the second one [12:08:18] the third one might work, though I'm not that sure [12:09:01] I'm not into such large structures, kinda.. [12:09:40] I got one contract, they want 6k units of fuel on Eve… [12:09:58] I'd mine it. [12:10:04] Need tanks. [12:10:06] that's what I'll do [12:10:20] the tanks still take space [12:10:34] liquidfuel? [12:10:38] yep [12:11:18] I did an Eve sample return, with the large tanks. [12:11:29] And a mammoth. [12:12:25] I really love the Vector engine [12:12:48] Yeah, they're great. Mammoth has more TWR. [12:13:13] I might need to look into that [12:13:20] No heat shield, just entry burn. [12:13:24] i've got a TWR of 1.19 I think on the last design [12:13:43] after separating the boosters it drops to 1 or so, that thing is hard to get into orbit [12:13:58] wow, you got any pictureS? [12:14:12] Nah, they're gone. [12:15:04] Just imagine a 4 stage rocket or so, starting with a mammoth. I used lots of cubic struts as legs. [12:15:18] to absorb the impact? [12:15:22] mhm [12:15:27] and to avoid falling over. [12:15:42] Refuelled at Gilly with the refinery. [12:15:59] oh, you had to refuel though [12:16:00] Needed 4x physics warp which reduces heat. [12:16:09] Yeah. Also refuelled in LKO. [12:16:33] Staging only happened at Eve ascend. [12:17:21] Used up all stages fuel for SSTO at Kerbin. [12:18:10] an Eve SSTO sounds like a really hard challenge [12:18:46] Sounds impossible. Probably would need wings. [12:19:51] well, just found a video were Scott put a comment saying "impressive" [12:19:57] so I guess I'm far from making it :D [12:21:40] 6k LF? [12:21:48] ? [12:21:58] 6000 liquid fuel on Eve [12:22:38] that's what I need for my contract yes [12:23:03] The big tank has 6480 LF. [12:23:14] I prefer using small ones, looks cute [12:23:22] but I might need to use the big one in the end [12:23:40] I need to support 11 kerbals with a mobile processing lab [12:24:30] I think many contracts guide you to do other things. [12:25:09] Or that's how I make sense of some. [12:29:14] eve ssto might be possible with propellers? [12:29:56] yeah [12:30:19] he's using ion engines and vector [12:31:39] Does ditching the wings count as staging? [12:31:46] Yes [12:31:57] It's just to reduce drag. [12:32:06] Fold them away :) [12:32:12] Can't. [12:32:41] Well, it does count as staging. SSTO by definition means not jettisoning any parts. [12:33:03] k [12:33:47] It would still be undeniably cool, though [12:34:53] it doesn't count as staging if the wings burn off on ascend ;) [12:35:38] :) [12:44:18] hehe [12:44:25] you dont need them in space anyway [12:47:46] But for landing and the next take off. [12:48:08] But yeah, SSTO doesn't include landing or reuse. [12:50:49] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Mostly_Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:18:19] Hmm, the Cupola isn't as unaerodynamic as I thought: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot23.png [13:18:29] Doesn't have to be in a fairing. [13:22:04] might get a bit hot? [13:22:53] Yeah, depending on ascend profile. [13:22:59] Nothing I couldn't handle. [13:23:17] But I had 4700 m/s. Now trying less. [13:23:35] already flipped over once ... [13:34:43] Has more TWR, I guess, so I need to throttle and have less control. [13:36:05] Ok, it's unaerodynamic. [14:06:50] A nosecone helps: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot24.png [14:07:30] yeah, that's similar to what I do [14:08:06] although sometimes I put a smalld decoupler and a fairing on top and drape the fairing over the cupola and add a nosecone [14:08:27] I didn't test the difference in dV on orbit [14:10:44] Fairing and nosecone? [14:10:47] I have a decoupler. [14:14:09] Hi [14:17:42] I bet I know what this is [14:17:50] another spammer? [14:18:00] Likely [14:20:30] sandbox, did you get anything yet? [14:20:38] nope [14:20:42] OK [14:21:34] Hi PatriciaHH1993, how are you? [14:22:25] sick days are good excuses to build huge overengineered rescue ships [14:25:38] PatriciaHH1993 spammed me in pm.

[14:37:47] If someone has verified it was actually mibbit being used you can give them a prod about it, though axod is a bit MIA these days I think [14:38:15] But no spammers like that have been around for decades, just depends on the visibility/popularity of somewhere generally :P [14:39:51] We're popular! \o/ [15:26:09] Well, I hope we gain some more people with KSP2 :) [15:27:17] not on IRC, I'm afraid [15:27:21] still a nan [15:27:25] not even a beta [15:27:28] KSP2 will probably have its own discord channel [15:27:54] a reason to start discord again [15:28:07] Althego: let them take their time. KSP 1.x is still around [15:28:16] still alive [15:28:17] https://spaceadventures.com/space-adventures-announces-agreement-with-spacex-to-launch-private-citizens-on-the-crew-dragon-spacecraft/ [15:28:20] but the server is down. [15:28:41] hehe [15:28:53] still probably not under 20 million usd [15:29:22] the blue origin hopper thingie is probably lot cheaper [15:29:33] that's why I wanted to visit that site [15:29:36] :D [15:30:04] lol it is running on windows [15:30:20] Whatever the Blue Origin thing costs, I fear it will be poor value. The flight is incredibly brief [15:30:54] once in a lifetime and stuff [15:30:55] I bet you'd get more value from one of those zero-gravity flights in an aeroplane [15:31:06] so for the windows... https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/overwatch_gamepedia/6/66/Melee_kill2.ogg [15:31:42] the incredibly brief is like 5 minutes of weightlessness [15:31:51] while on the airplane you get something like 20 second [15:31:52] s [15:32:00] with another minute of 2 g [15:32:08] but the airplanes don't go to "space" [15:32:19] so you don't get the scout badge for that [15:32:25] hehe [15:32:34] but i am already on my way to pathfinder in elite :) [15:33:10] Althego, 5 mins, are you sure? I didn't time it but it seemed a lot shorter than that in the video I watched [15:33:21] what did you measure? [15:33:44] it is weightless after the engine cut out, and quite a while after it when it is falling down [15:33:45] I didn't time it [15:33:55] :P [15:34:07] I expect you're right [15:34:20] bad Deddly [15:34:34] maybe it is just 4 :) [15:34:55] But I think that orbital is the only thing that would really feel like "space" to me [15:35:13] So I'll save my countless millions for that [15:35:13] 100 km is just barely going there [15:35:25] so true orbital is probably a lot better [15:36:25] "At the top of the ride, you’ll have 3.5 to 4 minutes of weightless" sez https://www.geekwire.com/2017/riding-jeff-bezos-blue-origin-new-shepard/ [15:36:52] the whole flight takes about 11 minutes [15:37:03] Well, we could offer capsule dives [15:37:08] skydiving inside a capsule [15:37:22] we could try getting a minute, too [15:37:30] for a much lower price [15:38:26] Deddly: well, it's good enough for Kerbals. Ascend, circularize and then deorbit immediately still counts as "orbit around Kerbin" [15:38:33] Or, for the really adventurous, there's Copenhagen Suborbitals :) [15:38:50] that is suborbital too [15:38:53] True, packbart. I could live with that ;) [15:38:58] but from basically minimal money [15:39:24] if you made it into orbit you could stay at least one complete orbit [15:39:26] Nah, I'd want one revolution, like I give my Kerbals [15:40:13] aint nobody has tim fo that [15:42:34] who's Tim Fo?

I usually skip those test and haul contracts (unless I can do them on the launchpad ;) [19:46:03] hehe yes launchpad tests are the best :) [19:50:25] I find i become limited to test/haul/survey contracts relatively quickly which is a shame with little science unlocks.
