[00:02:18] Action: darsie made an improved tanker with heat shielded solar panels, an additional battery for attitude control during aerobraking and I put the docking port for the fuel truck at the correct height. [00:03:33] ...and then it exploded? [00:03:36] no [00:03:44] Aw, no fun [00:03:56] Well, yes, when I tried aerobraking at 40 km. [00:05:58] That's the new one: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot125.png http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot130.png [00:24:12] I could set up my laptop to do math for einstein@home but it would take like 2 weeks to do one task [00:24:12] but I rarely use it anyways [00:28:16] Keep it running. [00:28:43] I'm getting a GTX 750TI card. [00:30:55] 6.5 times faster than my quadro FX 1800, if passmark is correct. [00:31:46] We'll see if it makes KSP faster. IIRC you said it's cpu bound.

[02:09:17] i don't think there is a right amount of KSP to resolve this matter [02:11:17] Action: Raptop mainly just commits bird crimes [02:11:30] (jay walking and sci-hub) [02:27:12] bwoop [02:27:39] i joined, eh? [02:27:51] there we go [02:30:56] i do not understand asparagus staging with practical craft [02:31:12] never heard about that. [02:32:08] its where bits that you jetison have more fuel the closer to the core stage ? or something [03:20:04] https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Asparagus_staging [03:20:54] It's less important now than it used to be, given that engines have higher TWR, and the souposphere is gone [03:23:59] i just put 3 jumbos next to each other and feed into the center one [04:22:21] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|ktns' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [04:22:53] hm https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.04357 [04:36:57] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|ktns' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [04:37:41] ahh the moment has passed [06:50:27] https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/191160-ksp-loading-no-place-like-kerbin/ [06:50:32] 1.9 is out [06:50:38] if this is true [06:51:16] or is this just a preview [06:53:53] ah no release yetú [07:05:09] oh bugger [07:05:16] i'll never get to jool [07:05:22] not that hard [07:05:31] it is if i keep starting over every patch [07:05:36] before i get there [07:05:37] hehe [07:05:48] you dont need to [07:06:09] but even if you do, it is possible to max out the tree before the next one [07:06:33] the tree isn't the problem [07:07:19] but i'll withhold from upgrading this time unless the two inventory systems become merged [07:57:01] The new screenshot function sounds nice [07:57:43] And the drain valve sounds nice [07:58:09] And I think they will be very practical on SSTOs [07:58:28] on reentry you want to have as few fuel as possible to be as light as possible... [08:27:17] i kind of want to try a game without quicksaves or reverting, but it's so easy to forget things [09:06:26] "Rotor blades in the Breaking Ground Expansion are getting some improvements by adding cyclic and collective deflection controls." - ohh [09:18:40] some screens of yesterday's mission to Duna's ground https://imgur.com/a/ivesIBU [09:26:26] rofl [09:26:44] i walked away from the launch of my shuttle [09:26:53] just as it had exited the atmosphere [09:27:00] when i came back it was splashed down in the ocean. intact. [09:27:14] i'm gonna call this design a success rofl [09:47:44] i think for the next version they should fix the lights of the LY-10 small landing gear shining through the plane's body [09:51:22] all lights shine through all parts, as far as I know [09:51:27] only suns throw shadows [09:51:39] oh, i've only noticed it with that [09:51:49] they should just be unable to turn on if tucked away then [09:52:35] ack, the lights look a bit weird when stowed [09:53:04] it lights up my station thoroughly when im docking [09:53:18] far more intense than anything else i've seen lol [12:24:51] so when the timer goes yellow, that's a sign of too many parts, right? [12:26:53] more too many part modules [12:30:59] removing excessive parts like control probes, antenna. rcs thrusters will help? [12:31:35] a little, but just getting used to it helps more [12:37:08] i'm still going to do what i can [12:39:17] it depends on where the bottleneck is with your system [12:40:15] mine is RAM. 8GB is not enough. so I get better performance when I let KSP swap out everything else by allocating a large chunk of memory once [12:41:55] (and I do that by switching texture quality from full to half, press Apply, change back to full and press Accept) [12:47:10] https://i.imgur.com/UQ4Vext.png [12:48:29] Action: Raptop wonders if this means that my wintendo will have trouble with KSP after 1.9 or something [12:48:45] https://i.imgur.com/pSGwT65.png [16:54:02] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:10:10] one of these days i will figure out how to make a helicopter [17:10:52] and after that you have to figure out how to fly it :) [17:11:58] well, that's kind of the point where I'm at... possibly. Maybe I'm not making it right. [17:12:23] It looks like a helicopter. Sometimes it takes off. Sometimes it doesn't. If it does, it veers off course pretty fast. [17:12:28] since 1.9 adds cyclic and collective, that would help tremendously [18:21:09] ok, that orbital station with a Δv or 27 000 will go anywhere :D [18:21:13] of [18:21:58] ok 44 600 now, wtf [18:24:30] ions? [18:24:58] ionic, doric, corinthian? :) [18:28:08] nuclear [18:28:17] I guess that's just a glitch somewhere [18:28:43] actually not, just a lightweight payload and a lot of fuel [19:21:06] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|ktns' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [23:06:10] Last message repeated 2 time(s). [23:06:10] derp... noticed the new little alert when you log in.. hopefully its been helpful. Although, I log in two channels at once, got me a little mixed up with my channels for a moment. :\
