L115[07:53:41] <Mat2ch> there's a problem with motivation. Being able to do something and wanting to do it are different things.

L124[07:55:55] <Althego> as usual that is hard. like with aluminium and titanium, both common, just in oxidized state
L125[07:56:38] <APlayer> So you expend energy (and thus, indirectly, oil and coal) to produce silicon wafers for solar panels

L227[10:08:37] <Fluburtur> I might try changing the engines on my koyuz T
L228[10:08:46] <Fluburtur> since all the first stage engines are vectors
L229[10:11:09] <APlayer> Is it reusable?
L230[10:11:20] <Althego> a soyuz? why would it be
L231[10:11:25] <Fluburtur> not the boosters but everythinh else can be landed
L232[10:11:34] <APlayer> It's a Koyuz, though
L233[10:11:51] <Althego> yes because in ksp every rename must include a k
L234[10:11:55] <APlayer> So, if the first stage is reusable, nevermind the vectors, they are perfect
L235[10:12:11] <APlayer> If it is not, they get way too expensive
L236[10:12:28] <Fluburtur> well im playing sandbox
L237[10:12:45] <Fluburtur> I want to see if it can fly with weaker engines

L277[10:22:38] <Althego> make the orbit almost touch the surface around the point you want to land. when getting close cancel all horizontal velocity (use surface mode on the navball). then land absolutely verically keeping the velocity vertical and slowing down under 7 m/s before landing

L303[10:29:07] <Helpmeland101> Yes

L306[10:29:39] <Helpmeland101> can u? that would be great!
L307[10:29:57] <APlayer> I highly recommend you install and set up Kerbal Engineer Redux, as this provides useful readouts of all sorts
L308[10:30:03] <Helpmeland101> I wanted to install just the main mods that would be needed.
L309[10:30:04] <Helpmeland101> ok

L323[10:34:07] <Helpmeland101> is that it?

L337[10:37:23] <APlayer> In the VAB, it should open a window which shows your vessel stats

L340[10:38:50] <Helpmeland101> what is VAB?
L341[10:38:50] <APlayer> Pretty sure that's some incompatibility. Try removing the new mods and launch KSP again

L348[10:41:34] <Helpmeland101> that's the last s1
L349[10:41:38] <Helpmeland101> stage*
L350[10:41:51] <APlayer> Helpmeland: You need about 1000 m/s to go there (can be a bit less, but more than 900 m/s anyway), and 600 to land or take off to orbit
L351[10:42:00] <Guest38949> The IR scope isn't even a build option

L360[10:43:42] <Helpmeland101> why doesn't KER work while I'm in the ship it self?
L361[10:44:00] <Helpmeland101> or do i have to intall so tool?
L362[10:44:02] <APlayer> It is probably set to Career mode
L363[10:44:07] <Helpmeland101> yes it is
L364[10:44:21] <Helpmeland101> so it wouldt work in the ship?
L365[10:44:28] <APlayer> Then it requires an on-board engineer, tracking station level 3 or a part to enable KER
L366[10:44:36] <Helpmeland101> ohh
L367[10:44:38] <APlayer> You likely have neither, so set it to Partless mode

L377[10:46:39] <Helpmeland101> ohh
L378[10:46:44] <APlayer> You need about 980 m/s (absolute minimum) to go there, + 600 m/s to land (pinpoint landing will probably require more) + 600 m/s to takeoff, + 270 m/s to go back
L379[10:47:06] <Helpmeland101> so should get the ship back from the orbit?
L380[10:47:09] <APlayer> + at least 50 m/s for error margin, because nobody is perfect
L381[10:47:16] <Helpmeland101> and build another one?

L383[10:47:25] <Helpmeland101> ok
L384[10:47:37] <APlayer> Or add some module on it, if you have docking ports

L400[10:51:02] <Helpmeland101> i very appreciate your help!
L401[10:51:19] <APlayer> Because the delta-v map has pilot margins, which you don't need with proper planning

L441[11:00:07] <JCB> most wing tip fins would do is help improve lift. Could see about one near center line
L442[11:00:14] <Helpmeland101> And who do you work in real life?
L443[11:00:24] <Fluburtur> they help with tracking in some cases
L444[11:00:38] <JCB> Been KSP since 0.18, but I go way further, back in the 80-90s with Spacesim
L445[11:00:43] <Fluburtur> some of my wings can't fly without or else they "wiggle the tail"
L446[11:01:04] <Fluburtur> this one can actually fly without winglets
L447[11:01:18] <Fluburtur> but yeah it does fly a bit sideways then
L448[11:01:39] <JCB> ya some designs induce some drag when air comes in from the side, to help with yaw.
L449[11:01:45] <Helpmeland101> what is space sim?
L450[11:01:51] <Fluburtur> most flying wings do that
L451[11:01:55] <Fluburtur> but it's not always enough
L452[11:01:57] <APlayer> Helpmeland: This looks like it will wobble
L453[11:02:05] <Fluburtur> doesn't do much with smaller wings
L454[11:02:17] <Fluburtur> but it works ok on larger ones
L455[11:02:43] <JCB> Spacesim is old program... early days. Didn't have building your own ships in it. But did have similar motion physics in space
L456[11:02:44] <Helpmeland101> APlayer what should i do then to lose length with losing DV?
L457[11:03:01] <Helpmeland101> JCB cool
L458[11:03:18] <Helpmeland101> APlayer without losing DV?
L459[11:03:26] <Fluburtur> also saying that tailless flying wings can't fly without computers is bullshit, it's all in the design
L460[11:03:35] <APlayer> I think you can make the rocket itself smaller
L461[11:03:40] <Helpmeland101> how to?
L462[11:03:55] <JCB> I played with it a bit, then tried Orbitor, I think I played with Spacesim more. Even found a strategy guide for it that taught me a lot.
L463[11:03:57] <APlayer> For one, this is a rescue mission. Don't bring the science equipment
L464[11:04:02] <Helpmeland101> ok
L465[11:04:09] * UmbralRaptop pokes Fluburtur with the language rule
L466[11:04:10] <Helpmeland101> but how should i get the science then?
L467[11:04:11] <APlayer> It's too big and heavy
L468[11:04:26] <Fluburtur> having some spanwise twist in flying wings help a lot with stuff
L469[11:04:26] <APlayer> You want to get the Kerbal back at first. ;-)
L470[11:04:35] <APlayer> Get the science with another probe
L471[11:05:11] <APlayer> Then, you can make the tank of the lander smaller
L472[11:05:35] <Helpmeland101> ok
L473[11:05:39] <APlayer> Without the science equipment, I think the old tank might even be enough
L474[11:05:47] <JCB> As much as I like seeing new players coming to the game, I do wonder at times about trying to make a few tutorials...
L475[11:06:02] <APlayer> You can remove the two parachutes on the sides
L476[11:06:11] <APlayer> The one on the top is enough
L477[11:06:18] <JCB> Anyone tried a live KSP classroom?
L478[11:06:39] <APlayer> If in doubt, test it with a small launch
L479[11:07:11] <APlayer> The capsule *should* survive impact with that parachute
L480[11:07:27] <Helpmeland101> should it?
L481[11:07:28] <JCB> ... heh.. 'should'?
L482[11:07:31] <Helpmeland101> and would it?
L483[11:07:38] <JCB> well.. you don't wanna hit atmos too hard
L484[11:08:06] <JCB> if your orbit is circular just above 70km.. should be ok if you start your deorbit there
L485[11:08:40] <UmbralRaptop> That materials bay I'd unlikely yo survive reentry.
L486[11:09:02] <JCB> ugh those sci-jr things? Ya... serious pain.

L490[11:09:27] <Althego> that lander wouldnt work
L491[11:09:31] <Althego> it is too high
L492[11:09:32] <JCB> I've tried a few things to keep heat off them in past versions. They tend to just blow up for no reason
L493[11:09:34] <Helpmeland101> why?
L494[11:09:35] <Althego> it will tip over
L495[11:09:54] <Helpmeland101> so should i make the lander smaller?
L496[11:09:57] <Althego> those landing legs give you only a tiny baase
L497[11:10:12] <JCB> you going for rescue or landing on the mun?
L498[11:11:03] <Althego> it is always good to make landers flat
L499[11:11:21] <Althego> although that is going against aerodynamics
L500[11:12:31] <JCB> There are times I worry there is so much to keep track of for new people getting into this.
L501[11:12:50] <APlayer> Helpmeland: For the lander, I suggest a simple capsule with a simple tank
L502[11:12:54] <Althego> but as i have heard that russian style capsule is not too aerodynamic anyway
L503[11:13:17] <JCB> things like, does the pod/probe have gyros to help turn, or do you want to go with rcs.. how about power. which engines produce or don't, extra batteries.. or solar?
L504[11:13:57] <JCB> Althego no but generally don't want to re-enter with a fuel tank strapped to your side still.
L505[11:14:12] <Althego> that too
L506[11:15:18] <JCB> Some day.. when i get around to using KIS/KAS, might try doing some of my cargo drop pod designs.

L521[11:21:01] <Helpmeland101> no ;)

L523[11:21:20] <Helpmeland101> Basically I'm trying to return my kerb from mun
L524[11:21:50] <Helpmeland101> And knowing that i cant really land pin point next to my kerb
L525[11:21:56] <Helpmeland101> what should i do?
L526[11:22:03] <JCB> I've got a rescue mission on the mun but its down around 45 degrees south. Rather than making a new craft, going to use something I already have in orbit and proven to work.. just need to bring more fuel because of how far south it is
L527[11:22:22] <Althego> you can go a few kms on foot and with the suit jets
L528[11:22:30] <Helpmeland101> yep
L529[11:22:31] <Helpmeland101> ok
L530[11:22:36] <JCB> just practice...
L531[11:23:01] <Helpmeland101> how do u transfer fuel?
L532[11:23:21] <JCB> landing pinpoint isn't too hard.. its making sure you retro properly so you don't either crash or go back into orbit again
L533[11:23:32] <Helpmeland101> ohh
L534[11:23:33] <Helpmeland101> k
L535[11:24:28] <Helpmeland101> so is the ship good enogh?
L536[11:24:33] <Helpmeland101> do i need more DV
L537[11:24:33] <Helpmeland101> ?
L538[11:24:48] <JCB> you in career? I think you may have to upgrade one of your facilities for resource transfer. Otherwise, you can just right click hte part with fuel. Hold 'Ctrl' (if on PC) and right click another fuel tank part
L539[11:25:39] <Eddi|zuHause> did they change that? it used to be some convoluted right-shift (or alt) click
L540[11:25:39] <Helpmeland101> yep i have to upgrade
L541[11:26:08] <JCB> sorry.. alt..
L542[11:26:14] <Althego> alt on windows, right shift otherwise
L543[11:26:45] <JCB> I hadn't used it in a while so I sorta reverted back to the standard select/deselect convention windows uses

L590[11:54:48] <UmbralRaptop> Ultimately, kerbals are replaceable. >_>
L591[11:54:51] <Althego> i would go with a single engine for the lander
L592[11:55:08] <Althego> and tanks would be detachable after liftoff

L597[11:55:36] <Althego> you can change the ker window to full indication

L675[12:14:45] <JCB> I tried the docking sim at the Museum of Flight in Seattle... You in the MMU with the grapple trying to latch into something. I got a good high score, but it warned I rushed too much. Yet they gave you fuel, battery limits)
L676[12:14:58] <Althego> so choose a concentric orbit to catch up or wait for tha target than place a node to find where to burn
L677[12:15:03] <Eddi|zuHause> rendevouz is easy, go in a slightly elliptic orbit with one end touching the orbit you want to reach, then adjust the maneuver timing for when you're close
L678[12:15:40] <Eddi|zuHause> with two maneuvers you should be ready to meet
L679[12:15:58] <Eddi|zuHause> that's how i do low orbit rendevouz

L694[12:20:22] <Helpmeland101> is 2,200 dv enough to get to mun and back?
L695[12:20:45] <Rokker> Helpmeland101: use a dv map
L696[12:20:57] <Helpmeland101> I'm not sure how to use one
L697[12:21:02] <Althego> no

L700[12:21:15] <Althego> you see, from kerbin orbit
L701[12:21:17] <Helpmeland101> Do i need to x2 them?
L702[12:21:38] <Rokker> Helpmeland101: add the numbers up, if there is a down arrow you only need to add them in one direction
L703[12:21:40] <Althego> add 860 + 310 + 580 + 580 + 310 that is with aerobraking on kerbin

L705[12:22:01] <Rokker> because in the other direction the atmosphere helps you brake
L706[12:22:10] <Althego> but this doesnt give you any error margin, especially for the landing in your case i would go with at least 800
L707[12:22:31] <Helpmeland101> 860 + 310 + 580 + 580 + 310 = 2640

L713[12:23:02] <Rokker> Kerbin
L714[12:23:13] <Rokker> should be 2640 by your numbers
L715[12:23:16] <Rokker> so no
L716[12:23:19] <Helpmeland101> ok
L717[12:23:30] <Helpmeland101> lets try do it slightly different way
L718[12:23:32] <Althego> and also at least 300 more for reserve

L949[20:47:09] <AlterJeb> what about planet blocking? You need some high eccentricity polar orbit long range commsats
L950[20:48:55] <marcus> oh, this is only for LKO comms
L951[20:50:22] <marcus> For long distance, I'll set up another constellation of relays in a polar orbit, with a dedicated relay in synchronous orbit over the space center
L952[20:51:45] <KrazyKrl> Just use L4/L5 for the long range comsats.
L953[20:52:07] <marcus> For the Duna comms backbone, I'll also put a backup relay in a simulated L5 point (and possibly L4) to avoid disconnects when the sun is on the other side
L954[20:53:23] <KrazyKrl> Probably 3 sats at L3+L4+L5 would handle 99.999% of situations.
L955[20:53:51] <marcus> Using RemoteTech though, so dishes have to point at one specific place
L956[21:03:33] <Eddi|zuHause> kerbin L4/5 or duna L4/5?
L957[21:12:13] <KrazyKrl> Well... the fact that KSP only has 1 SoI at a time; you can probably setup a constellation of sats along kerbin's orbital path. Then you just need to point your sats at the orbital plane of kerbin to get a signal.
