[06:19:25] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [07:22:34] so... jeb+val did a docking mission. Rather than landing them seperate, re-entered side by side. They ended up staying less than 1/2 km a part from each other [07:24:27] hadn't done that before.. was interesting [07:56:40] hehe, nice jokes and effects https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xa5M19pck5E [07:56:40] YouTube - Building An Antenna for Johnny 5 [07:56:49] you wouldnt expect this from a machining video [08:31:34] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:16:33] i started the tutorial pf surviving mars. i already found one really annoying thing. the transporter loads and unloads from the front, while it has all the cargo in the back, obviously accessible from the back [13:21:32] it has the feeling of planetbase, but looks like a bit more complex [13:21:58] but the basics are pretty much the same [13:55:03] all fungi are edible but some only once :) [13:56:42] sures casts something on "in least try this once" [14:09:51] friend tried seafood once... lived but now ... deathly alergies [14:11:02] I guess it was no surprise it happened while visiting Australia.. land of 'everything tries to kill you'.. or so I hear [15:00:41] Althego: if that's the only thing that'll ever annoy you about a game, then you should be fine, i guess :p [15:00:57] we shall see now [15:01:02] just have to start somehow [15:01:11] but even before the start there are too many options [15:02:48] i dont want to choose the international mars mission as sponsor because it is listed as very easy [15:03:11] ... which game now? [15:03:49] surviving mars [15:03:55] hehe spacey :) [15:04:00] SpaceY [15:06:34] Action: JVFoxy ahs [15:07:17] some of these games that come out now these days... I don't know.. maybe I'm stuck on 'old school' or something. [15:11:41] lol dont panick, and sickle and hammer logo [15:26:44] Hmm... SpaceZ [15:27:02] XYZ... [15:29:00] taniwha: *reads gaming headlines* [15:29:06] So that's what you've been up to eh [16:24:34] yo [16:33:27] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [18:30:24] Last message repeated 1 time(s). [18:30:24] anyone tried geostationary orbits? [18:33:34] not yet, I didn't really have any use for them [18:34:43] got the orbit.. but my speed was way off [18:35:07] they saying something like 1009.81m/s.. but think I was something a bit above that? [18:35:27] surface velocity did say I was nearly 80m/s off [18:36:18] playing career with KSC as only place that has DSN.. [18:38:37] ah, ok. I usually just use an equatorial relay triangl [18:42:30] eventually I was going to do a few sats at geo stationary.. its just getting the altittude and speed to match.. though kind of wondering if figures given are a little off [18:45:11] There's a chance that it's slightly off since Kerbin was actually spun up in 1.0 [18:55:56] orbit cheated just to test in sandbox... no numbers are solid it seems. slight shift to the plane of the obit throwing off velocity some [18:57:32] In sandboxes, I cheat myself a nice tetrahedral constellation (orbital parameters from a forum post). 100% coverage all the time [19:01:09] just thought I'd try something different [19:06:13] Action: UmbralRaptop is in favor of doing best-effort, and then save editing because lolstationkeeping [19:17:53] I sync the orbital period of the relay triangle I use in career as best as I can, within a few ms. that's good enough for years [19:20:59] or you can launch 20 super basic sats in one rocket and deploy them with a few m/s difference [19:22:10] hm. now that you say that - where's the first Starlink simulation in KSP? [19:22:26] Action: packbart goes to check Youtub [19:23:15] chances that 20 out of 20 sats would be outside of ~40% sky sector are close to zero [19:23:37] well, several recreations of the 60-sat launches - but no 42k sats full constellation yet :) [19:24:10] copy-paste 42k sats to the save file, ez [20:04:57] I'm sure you could do it with a bit of Perl or Python [20:30:23] and add Principia on top [20:30:30] a proper test for NASA supercomputers
