[00:09:11] well, that's a painfully long cruise phase: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/PSJ/abe6aa [00:09:35] This is to be clear, just a proposal. It hasn't been selected [03:57:00] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Althego' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [06:08:27] LOL https://youtu.be/W3UuBZao4kM [06:23:57] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [06:40:29] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [06:43:32] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [07:07:48] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [10:59:45] How much EC do the other arms need? [11:00:21] the bigger the more [11:01:11] What's science does the yellow light do? Illumination for camera? [11:35:13] . [11:35:27] Althego, you're gonna miss it! [11:35:36] hah i missed it [11:35:45] maybe not yet [12:53:09] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:00:44] channellog [13:35:25] i didnt reach the end of the gura training stream and calli is streaming again. and there is still some accumulated flat earth [14:16:44] so 1.12.1 is really just an emergency fix. good, i want to see that ground thingie [14:18:25] Yeah [14:21:25] Action: darsie scans an olivine formation on Minmus: https://i.postimg.cc/qpJ6vj4n/screenshot38.png [14:24:30] Bit steep [14:26:07] mhm [14:26:48] Oddly my rover woudn't stop driving forward when I released the controls. Fixed after save/load. [14:26:56] would be nice if say after 20 years they would release the source code [14:27:34] Infocom released their text advantures decades later in a bundle. [14:27:40] decades [14:27:59] there is a falloff. after a while peopel are going to buy ksp2, not old ksp1. so pointless to even hold onto it [14:28:14] but if you release the source, it is goping to live on forever [14:28:23] like doom, tyrian, etc [14:30:10] 1.12.1 still has inverted mouse and slow motion. [14:30:30] as they stated there is actually one fix in it [14:30:54] Olivine was said to be in midlands etc., but I found it while still in lowlands. [14:31:25] i think each of these mentions 3 biomes [14:32:14] hence 'etc.' [14:32:37] The others were highlands and poles, IIRC. [14:33:03] then flip them [14:33:22] I also found a green sandstone in lowlands, near the great flats. [14:34:03] too bad they fixed the old jpeg texture problem, where compression artifacts caused random biomes to pop up in random places in small patches. i used that [14:34:13] :) [14:35:05] But yeah, that rover has amazing climb capability. [14:35:14] on minmus [14:35:17] mhm [14:35:24] on eve 30 deg slopes are already hard [14:35:55] Shouldn't there be a Kraken in the depths of Jool? [14:36:05] when you try to cross the surface [14:36:16] the zero altitude line [14:36:43] or you can turn on pressure limits in difficulty and parts give up before that [14:37:08] Does anything last at 0 m? [14:37:25] We could have nuclear powered airplanes there. [14:37:37] you mean submarines [14:37:54] It's hard to say in a supercritical fluid :). [14:37:59] i thin at 0 everything is destroyed [14:39:49] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1uVaE3mBdE [14:40:00] at least in 1.8.1 they made this jool ssto [14:40:04] apparently survived 0 altitude [15:54:29] Action: darsie feels a bit silly. He landed his arm rover in the Mun far side crater to analyze a mun stone. But there's no signal to control the rover ... :) [15:55:37] First I thought ... let's wait till the Mun turns this side towards Kerbin ... :) [15:57:14] lel [15:58:33] Time to make those relays ... :) [15:58:41] hehehe [16:10:15] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:24:06] So, is it appropriate to drop a large rock on Kerbin to celebrate aseroid day? [16:24:21] I don't have fairing interstage nodes. [16:24:45] Ahh, they only show up when I have something to attach in the mouse. [18:04:45] let's see if today it can launch https://youtu.be/sSiuW1HcGjA [18:05:05] without jason statham [18:39:57] hmm delay [18:40:33] about half an hour, because of weather [18:49:54] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQXTb29HwJc I knew it. [18:50:03] The fireworks can be used for weird stuff. :D [18:51:58] just call it nebelwerfer [18:55:45] tired: fog generator [18:55:48] wired: nebelwerfer [18:57:07] then call it katyusha [18:59:28] heh [19:06:48] as the prince was looking at the hourglass, he asked kaileena: "times is running low. you ready?" but kaileena just kept looking at the hourglass and did not answer [19:08:19] Perry Rhodan? [19:09:03] i dont know what that is [19:09:21] hmm, german space opera franchise [19:09:23] interesting [19:13:11] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhn02_mB_lU this is a very weird advert with Marc Rebillet... [19:14:28] Althego: music is on! [19:15:11] also, get some Schmand! [19:15:18] Where is the Schmand?! [19:15:20] :D [19:15:46] what for? [19:16:34] Click my link! [19:16:52] time is really running short [19:16:58] or low, as the prince said it [19:19:36] "Great day for a rocket launch" [19:19:39] weeeeeeelllllllllll [19:22:02] not that great if they had to delay because of weather [19:24:08] t-5 min [19:29:08] 0 [19:29:12] liftoff [19:32:11] hah, boostback burn [19:36:00] entry burn [19:37:56] landed [20:16:03] Action: darsie scanned a Mun crater and a Mun large crater. [20:16:25] They're nowhere near actual large craters :). [20:16:38] hehe [20:16:52] there are a bajillion min crater biomes already [20:17:57] Mun large crater was estimated to be found in the Canyon, but I found one in the farside crater near the canyon. [20:19:02] they are everywhere [20:20:41] biomes are a bit wonky [20:20:46] and have been since they were added [20:20:55] my rocket keeps rolling [20:21:21] add winglets [20:21:26] i did [20:21:32] but it keeps rolling [20:21:39] making it imposible to fly it [20:21:44] Switch from static to the moving ones? Turn on SAS? [20:22:11] roll as in longitudinal axis? [20:22:45] and maybe upload a screenshot to imgur.com and post the URL [20:22:47] engine start coming up [20:22:49] I assume so, otherwise they would have said pitch or yaw? [20:23:21] not obvious if you lack the vocabulary [20:23:41] Action: raptop confused cawing [20:23:46] am crow [20:24:06] now comes 88 deploys [20:24:14] i should be sleeping but still not finished the comics [20:24:19] (obviously this stuff is intuitive to a typical corvid) [20:25:11] KSP rockets are usualy flip-stabilized ;) [20:25:17] https://imgur.com/a/BQQ2rEV [20:26:31] hm. looks normal enough (unless the boosters are not centered on their decouplers) [20:26:33] hrm, not sure on the staging, but it's quite possible that it's only running SRBs initially and so doesn't have much control authority. Also, those are the fixed fins [20:26:54] packbart: yeah, I'm also somewhat concerned that those don't look like they were placed with symmetry [20:27:21] i only have fixed fins [20:29:49] I'd try to get some clearance between booster exhaust and fins. but other than that, I don't see anything obviously wrong about it [20:30:14] it worked [20:30:15] thanks [20:30:21] i guess it is rolling because of the booster rockets flexing on the decouplers [20:30:25] ...but we didn't do anything? [20:30:38] i checked the staging [20:30:45] and replace the booster [20:30:51] possibly also from the 2x vs 3x symmetry meaning that forces are completely symmetrical aroudn the long axis of the rocket and getting a net torque? [20:30:54] ah [20:34:03] huh, the AV-R8 is now way up the tech tree from what I remember [20:35:09] Guest66709: Rolling can be caused by boosters that are twisted by air. Try struts. [20:35:12] oh, I missed the 1.12.1 update [20:35:36] i got the game a few days ago [20:35:41] and its awesome [20:36:00] 1.12.1 is a hotfix [20:36:06] if you dont have any problems you can skip it [20:36:12] 1.12.2 is coming shortly [20:37:16] yeah, I just saw the forum post. I'll have to check that "auto-struts no longer cross docking ports" thing in my save, too [20:43:10] Guest66709: well then, welcome to the league of orbital mechanics :) [20:43:37] i got to orbit once [20:43:37] ^ [20:43:52] im trying to get to the mun [20:45:35] getting to Minmus is easier, though [20:46:54] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:47:55] spacex could out on one of the free musics from ksp once :) [20:48:20] landing on minmus is easier. getting there is harder because of the inclination [20:49:21] ok [20:49:39] im just trying to get an orbit [20:49:44] so i can get some science [20:50:04] getting the in space science does not requires orbit [20:50:10] -s [20:56:06] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:58:44] well ill have more time [20:58:52] and getting to moon orbit will be fun [21:03:10] oh, it sure is. (inefficient spoiler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQKREmvilm0 ) [21:20:14] Action: darsie scanned the Baobab tree: https://i.postimg.cc/ZJjqT3w7/screenshot48.png [21:24:40] Hmm, I forgot to land the Kerbal in Minmus orbit ... [21:25:21] oops [21:54:33] Landed [22:23:44] Is it time to consult the oracle yet? [22:25:16] ksp crashed [22:28:21] Solar_Oracle: will this program halt? [22:28:29] Action: raptop hands over a stack of punch cards [22:28:43] Only if you forget to keep feeding me punch cards. [22:28:56] Action: Solar_Oracle begins to loom patterns. [22:29:54] it would be cool if Squad/Taketwo would change the ToS on KSP EoL to allow injecting/overriding code in stock classes with Harmony [22:30:10] that way, modders could try and fix issues going forward [22:31:47] I'm actually surprised at the level of readership my Let's Read got. [22:33:17] hrm [22:33:54] I take it that web troll was the author's avatar wishing to be a badS military type? [22:34:51] the thumbnail for linuxgurugamer's latest KSP play-stream shows the crash reporter. ominous [22:40:29] "I improved my framerate from 3-4fps to 10-12" - and over in the Elite forums, people bawl over 30fps :D (granted, E:D is not modable at all and lgg runs some 200+ mods) [22:47:19] on a plane do you want the COT to be behind or infront of COM [22:48:24] That shouldn't matter too much, though you'll want them to be in-line. CoL, however should be behind CoM [22:48:43] ok [22:56:49] I should get several chapters uploaded tonight . . . But at what cost? [23:05:08] if you already read the book, the damage to your sanity (I assume there's some left ;) is already done [23:05:39] if not: get out while you still can! :) [23:06:07] [Chaos Space Marine Voice]SANITY IS FOR THE WEAK![/Chaos Space Marine Voice] [23:08:05] there are even sequels?! ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ringo ) [23:08:34] Oh yeah, there are a metric crap ton of sequels, though many are not written by him. [23:08:41] The worst belongs to Tom Kratman. [23:20:47] I still want to know why you'd put *multiple grams of antimatter* in a discarding sabot [23:20:55] Are you fighting bolos? [23:21:28] And, like, does your cannon have a muzzle velocity >11 km/s?
