[00:11:17] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> hi [00:11:46] <flayer> hi [00:11:51] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> I've just started off [00:12:04] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> trying to do an SSTO [00:12:24] <flayer> a spaceplane SSTO? [00:12:32] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> can't seem to get out of the atmosphere, yet I've got hella delta V [00:12:38] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> yuppers [00:13:04] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> I cap at 380-odd meters per second [00:13:13] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> then pitch down unavoidably [00:13:26] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> unsure if it's the craft or my piloting\ [00:14:18] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> I did alt-f12 to place myself in orbit to see if it would land safely and it glides like a dream [00:14:38] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> but I feel as if I'm throwing myself against a wall [00:14:50] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> or rather, kerbals against the ocean [00:15:04] <flayer> its probably a matter of speed/intake/thrust/weight [00:15:27] <flayer> if you're too heavy, you can't get up to speed to get a proper amount of intake/thrust for your jet engines to function properly [00:16:06] <raptop> Yeah, at least some engines lose thrust at mach 1, and drag does peak around there. [00:16:19] <raptop> I know some craft/players have a portion where the ascent includes a dive to get above it [00:16:19] <flayer> what's helped me solve this is reducing the amount of fuel [00:16:36] <raptop> Yeah, aircraft are weird in how sometimes less is more (because of drag) [00:16:39] <flayer> sometimes i do that, sometimes i fire my orbital thrusters for a bit of a boost [00:16:59] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> 1 nerv and 2 rapiers [00:17:11] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> I tried nosing down [00:17:20] <flayer> switch the rapiers to closed cycle for a bit [00:17:30] <flayer> to test things out [00:17:42] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> certainly [00:17:52] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> that's how I got to 380ms [00:18:08] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> 2o degrees got me to 30km [00:18:15] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> 20* [00:18:17] <flayer> then you're just too heavy, i reckon [00:18:29] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> twr is 1.67 [00:18:44] <flayer> numbers mean nothing to me [00:18:47] <flayer> i do everything by feel [00:18:51] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> fair nuff [00:20:25] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> should I give up on making it a mining rig [00:21:45] <flayer> i can't imagine 2 rapiers being capable of bringing a mining rig and nerv into orbit [00:22:20] <flayer> but i have almost no experience with rapiers [00:28:04] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> mini rig but yeah maybe underpowered [00:28:12] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> unsure what else to use [00:28:26] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> attempting to figure out screenshotting [00:28:52] <flayer> replace the nerv with another rapier and see what happens [00:32:18] <darsie> You could use rockets. [00:38:29] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> https://imgur.com/a/T5LGLcm [01:15:37] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> @darsie how so? do you mean those such as the vector engine? [01:16:15] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> I'm a bit scatterbrained, partially due to the cooking of the all important snacks [01:20:27] <raptop> shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu: orange tank + skipper can get you something like 4 tonnes to LKO. (IIRC, an orange tank is a bit too much propellant for the engine, but eh) [01:23:21] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> hmm [01:23:42] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> now it reaaaly wants to go left, and smashed its bckside off [01:23:48] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> *really [01:38:22] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> now it seems to be overpowered [01:38:45] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> leaps to 95m/s then does a power slide [01:38:46] <flayer> then you can scale back down or add more weight! [01:39:01] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> maybe I'm stupid but [01:39:15] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> WHERE DO I ADD MORE WEIGHT OMG [01:39:33] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> without increasing drag overmuch [01:39:40] <flayer> somewhere in the middle [01:40:07] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> extra fuel/oxidizer then [01:43:10] <umaxtu> oh my thats a long nick [01:45:11] Action: raptop wonders what esper's max length is [01:46:03] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> it was supposed to be "shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatube [01:46:27] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> so it must be 31 [01:48:12] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> now it truly has all of the wibbly-wobbly and none of the timey-wimey [02:04:23] <umaxtu> no Doctor Who fans allowed here I'm afraid [02:13:26] Action: umaxtu takes a sip from his Tardis mug [03:51:55] Action: packbart is listening to 11th Doctor Audio Books [04:19:31] <umaxtu> audio books? [04:24:56] <packbart> yes. I like listening better than reading. Eyes are not multi-tasking [04:28:57] <umaxtu> doctor who books? [04:29:28] <packbart> yes. there are lots of them. most of them by Big Finish [04:29:56] <packbart> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Doctor_Who_audiobooks [04:34:14] <umaxtu> huh. til [04:34:38] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Althego' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [04:34:40] <umaxtu> I'm still not caught up on the 12th's antics [13:26:29] <Izaya> CKAN are you okay? Eggplant? https://social.shadowkat.net/media/6ab0b548bb23b7ecad1daa7b43ad4a7a10e1d11fcc0d59b96c4919d56213cb47.png [13:27:06] <flayer> you have a folder called 'eggplant' on your desktop [13:27:26] <Izaya> It appears I do. [13:27:28] <Izaya> Huh. [13:27:41] Action: Izaya doesn't run anything that provides desktop icons and generally forgets the folder exists [13:28:25] <flayer> why do you have a folder called eggplant on your desktop? [13:28:51] <Izaya> Got a mod for RimWorld that screenshots the map at regular intervals, and apparently I used the seed "eggplant" [13:31:05] <Izaya> https://social.shadowkat.net/xmpp/upload/fjIRXtssskCljkXS/w.jpg [14:38:51] <Althego> docking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21X5lGlDOfg [14:39:05] <Althego> the prichal iss module [14:52:06] <Mat2ch> nice nice [15:00:37] <Mat2ch> I wonder if the ISS will be spun around again... [15:00:51] <Althego> seems to be a common occurance now [15:01:44] <Mat2ch> Exactly [15:05:00] <Mat2ch> Also I hope all of you have soled their Lilium stonks, because they will soon run out of money... [15:10:38] <Althego> lilium was the much overrated elfen lied opening [15:20:51] <Althego> the end looked really bad, it was seriously misaligned at it was visible that id did fast corrections [15:38:03] <Mat2ch> you mean the video from two weeks ago? [15:38:15] <Althego> no, this one [15:38:35] <Althego> it was even a comical timing that the american said perfectly aligned, and the russian side said 30 deg off [15:38:58] <Mat2ch> hrhr [15:39:18] <Mat2ch> I really wonder what is going on at Roskosmos? They had such a great software department for years and now this? [15:40:29] <Althego> hired ex-kerbal programmers? :) [15:41:24] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:44:25] <Izaya> switched to kOS [15:53:38] <Althego> that sounds like a mission [15:53:48] <Althego> now we just need to find an outcome [15:59:42] <Eddi|zuHause> an unscheduled kOS update delayed your maneuver node [16:00:12] <Izaya> I didn't know we were up to kOS 10 [16:00:42] <Eddi|zuHause> isn't it 11 by now? [16:01:14] <Izaya> I think I'll be sticking to kOS 2000 either way [16:04:38] <Mat2ch> kOS 95 was the best one. [16:04:52] <Althego> does it have a windows naming scheme? [16:05:10] <Althego> or are we talking about ms stuff now? [16:09:47] <packbart> Red Onion is better, eehniweeh! :) [16:10:02] <packbart> (ok, it's Lua... still better than that kOS syntax) [17:05:18] <Althego> kikkeri-ho-ho-ho lol [17:15:21] <raptop> Should I be concerned by the menu ideas? [17:16:11] <Althego> seems turkey is on now [18:23:47] <Kalpa> Kikkerikuu [19:31:42] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> The crew of the ISS begins singing "you spin me right 'round" [19:35:33] <FLHerne> what, AGAIN?! [19:51:50] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> lul what [19:52:08] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> I ran out of oxidiser [19:52:28] <Althego> not yet, but they are already expecting it :) [19:53:27] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:53:49] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> with 5740 lf and 1060 ox, I ran out of oxidiser at 2161 units of fuel... meaning for every 3579 lf I require 1060 oxidiser...correct? [19:56:15] <packbart> The wiki says: "Rocket engines using liquid fuel and oxidizer, use a volumetric mixture of 9 units of liquid fuel per 11 units of oxidizer." [19:56:41] <packbart> ( https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Liquid_fuel ) [19:57:12] <raptop> Yeah, all of the stock ones do that. I think shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu is also using jet engines at some points so wants additional lf [19:57:56] <packbart> yeah, the page says "Jet engines use intake air in a volumetric mixture of 1 unit of liquid fuel per 15 units of intake air." [19:58:09] <packbart> and it gets more complicated if you run nukes at the same time [19:58:28] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> I did as you suggested and switched to a rapier [19:58:40] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> which is why oxidiser became a problm [19:59:30] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> I had originally chosen a NERV for the efficiency and lack of high ox drain [20:01:04] <Althego> the nuke is really heavy, so it is only efficient for low twr long burns [20:55:48] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> thanks [21:11:36] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> the auto-generated subtitles on the nasa stream [21:11:56] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> gamma rays? no, Camrys [21:12:54] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> (inaudible) work has uncovered previously overlooked orbits that can produce [21:13:04] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> EXTREMELY ENERGETIC CAMRYS [21:15:46] <raptop> Oh no, a 10 MeV Toyota has collided with me! [21:29:27] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> outcome [21:30:30] <shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu> switched to kOS, a 10MeV Toyota has collided with you!
