L9[00:36:20] <mischief> got my ore from minmus but now i can't get it home.
L10[00:37:17] <Gasher[work]> can't?
L11[00:37:25] <mischief> ran out of fuel leaving.
L12[00:37:41] <mischief> need a redesign

L19[00:40:13] <mischief> no, i don't use any mods.

L21[00:40:20] <Gasher[work]> ah ok
L22[00:40:43] <mischief> it is tempting to just install mechjeb, which i did have when i played years ago
L23[00:41:02] <mischief> but this time around, i wanted to try to get through as much of career mode without help
L24[00:47:23] <Althego> but if you use ker only in the vab it just does the computation you woulddo
L25[00:48:56] <Gasher[work]> well you can just calculate that on paper
L26[00:49:08] <Althego> but gets boring after a while

L42[01:16:01] <mischief> yeah, i wanted to avoid any during deployment.

L257[03:36:21] <mischief> aw man
L258[03:36:25] <mischief> i forgot my heat sinks :(
L259[03:38:55] <mischief> whatever, i'm already here. i'll just wait it out if i overheat
L260[03:47:56] <mischief> 82 days for 100 ore
L261[03:47:58] <mischief> >_>
L262[03:48:04] <Althego> lol
L263[03:48:07] <mischief> maybe i better go fly another mission
L264[03:48:15] <Althego> try highest timewarp
L265[03:48:22] <Althego> that usually hekps with the battery too
L266[03:48:26] <Althego> because power is stuck
L267[03:48:26] <mischief> Althego: i put it very high, but i don't want to waste days
L268[03:48:35] <mischief> also my drills are eating away at my heat shield
L269[03:48:41] <mischief> because i forgot the thermal disappators
L270[03:48:57] <Althego> i never tried what happens to the thermal issue
L271[03:49:03] <Althego> but if you switch to highest timewarp quickly
L272[03:49:07] <Althego> the game just ignores battery
L273[03:49:12] <Althego> so it will mine day and night
L274[03:49:18] <Althego> maybe the same is true for heat
L275[03:49:20] <mischief> Althego: i brought 16000 battery units
L276[03:49:23] <mischief> it's no problem ;-)
L277[03:49:28] <Althego> i am explaining the principle
L278[03:49:33] <Althego> that there is an exploitable bug
L279[03:49:51] <mischief> it looks like battery is used when it is night time
L280[03:49:53] <Althego> oh wait
L281[03:49:56] <Althego> is this ap robe?
L282[03:50:01] <mischief> even at the highest warp, 100,000
L283[03:50:03] <mischief> yes
L284[03:50:04] <Althego> bringing a single engineer would help you a lot

L325[05:02:34] <mischief> yeah, i was unwarping
L326[05:02:40] <mischief> but i actually warped many times
L327[05:02:47] <mischief> because the solar panels cant power my drills
L328[05:03:09] <mischief> so the battery would drain, the drills turned off, the solar panels charged, then i'd unwarp and turn them on again

L378[06:22:42] <Gasher[work]> mischief, what thing starts to shake? legs?
L379[06:22:44] <Althego> you still trying to use those chutes?
L380[06:22:45] <Althego> why?
L381[06:22:51] <Althego> cute kerbal at the top
L382[06:23:00] <mischief> Gasher[work]: um, all of it
L383[06:23:21] <mischief> rather, it is difficult to discern which piece begins the shaking.
L384[06:23:30] <Eddi|zuHause> shaking even without SAS?
L385[06:23:34] <Gasher[work]> i was thinking of increasing leg springs' strength and damping but that might not be the case
L386[06:23:36] <Althego> for landing the highest mass with lowest speed, you need the blue ones. only 1-2 orange ones are needed to slow you down for the blue ones to activate safely
L387[06:24:07] <mischief> i've got no sas on
L388[06:24:07] <Gasher[work]> Althego, that kerbal knows that the safest spot on the vessel is outside
L389[06:24:20] <mischief> and when i take off, i put the landing gears up first
L390[06:24:31] <mischief> before it would just explode simply by turning off the drill
L391[06:24:36] <mischief> but i worked around that i guess
L392[06:25:38] <mischief> hm
L393[06:26:35] <mischief> i think it's some combination of the ore tanks, the ship's body and the circular batteries
L394[06:26:37] <darsie> mischief: Get KJR
L395[06:26:51] <mischief> underneath those ore tanks is this as the core of my ship
L396[06:26:54] <mischief> Kerbodyne ADTP-2-3
L397[06:27:31] <mischief> it's also possible the parachutes are clipping the batteries, and somehow the tanks being full triggers unplanned deconstruction.
L398[06:28:16] <Eddi|zuHause> these chutes seem near useless to me
L399[06:29:57] <mischief> even applying the tiniest amount of thrust to my engines triggers it
L400[06:30:40] <Eddi|zuHause> and if you retract gear first?

L507[08:12:48] <mischief> no fuel.
L508[08:12:55] <Althego> bit tight fuel margins
L509[08:13:34] <Althego> i would have used the tiny orange chutes and blue for everything else
L510[08:13:48] <Althego> i mean you can clip a few of those tiny oranges anywahere

L512[08:18:15] <Eddi|zuHause> never ever needed an orange chute, but haven't tried bringing back something really heavy either

L535[08:58:48] <Althego> maybe a short?
L536[08:59:19] <Eddi|zuHause> i had a problem with a screw falling down, and the PSU is at the bottom and it fell in
L537[08:59:32] <Eddi|zuHause> had to take the PSU out, and wiggle it a bit so the screw came back out
L538[08:59:33] <Althego> au
L539[08:59:47] <Eddi|zuHause> and then put in the PSU the other way around so maybe that doesn't happen again
L540[09:00:18] <Althego> what, you put it in backwards?
L541[09:00:43] <Eddi|zuHause> sure. backwards :p
L542[09:01:04] <Eddi|zuHause> no, put the top at the bottom

L544[09:01:46] <Althego> you disturb the intended heatflow
L545[09:02:02] <Eddi|zuHause> the fan is now on the bottom, and there are holes there where air can come in
L546[09:02:03] <Althego> that can make a significant difference in temperature
L547[09:02:13] <Eddi|zuHause> i have other case fans handling CPU heat
L548[09:02:36] <Althego> but the psu heat may be problematic now, unless it was upside down to begin with

L601[13:11:12] <Althego> i dont get it. probably for the better
L602[13:11:18] <Scolar_Visari> Visari's Law of Optics: If someone starts measuring the strength of a device based on the amount of megapixels it has, they probably don't know what they are talking about.
L603[13:11:49] <Scolar_Visari> Case in point: "One of the problems of digital microscopes is they also seem to live in this 1 megapixal world so they do not digitally enlarge very much"
L604[13:12:26] <Althego> why would i want digital zoom
L605[13:13:14] <Scolar_Visari> It got worse: "When magnifying, the pixels have to be smaller as the microbes are smaller, as being smaller 20mpixels are smaller than 6x4mm which is harder to make and its doubtful these landers have an adequate electric supply to run these gadgets without which these 4billion year old fossilis will be passed by unseen"
L606[13:14:06] <Scolar_Visari> Every time someone believes that detecting microfossils from a sample is as easy as observing with a microscope, Charles Darwin strikes down a finch.
L607[13:17:21] <Althego> how do you detect them?
L608[13:17:57] <Althego> btw nothin on mars is searching for microfossils, neither will be 2020

L610[13:18:31] <Scolar_Visari> Althego: The samples have to be prepared (physically removing dust, for instance), and small microorganism fossils are particularly difficult to differentiate from geological phenomenon.
L611[13:19:19] <Scolar_Visari> We take fossils of monocellular organisms or their colonies for granted on Earth because Earth is known to have life, whereas that same luxury cannot be afforded for Martian astrobiology.

L692[17:59:59] <darsie> yep
L693[18:00:15] <darsie> drills and radiators retracted.
L694[18:00:23] <mischief> darsie: turn on autostrut of some kind (i forgot which) on the ore barrels
L695[18:00:42] <darsie> That would require me to fly again?
L696[18:00:57] <mischief> if that doesn't work, i think i also added autostrut to the parachutes, and also the radially-mounted fuel tanks
L697[18:01:11] <mischief> darsie: well, nevermind
L698[18:01:27] <mischief> i need to redesign the ship any way, because it isn't landable on kerbin.
L699[18:02:51] <darsie> KJR doesn't help, either. I guess it's not active cause it's incompatible with 1.5.1.
L700[18:05:16] <mischief> got any bright ideas for an ore ship to bring 2800 back from minmus? :P
L701[18:05:59] <mischief> i almost certainly need more solar panels
L702[18:06:04] <mischief> and more parachutes.
L703[18:06:14] <mischief> or, uh, better parachutes.
L704[18:07:04] <darsie> mischief: How about clustering tanks in an inline fairing.

L709[18:30:41] <mischief> because i need like 9x300ore tanks + 2 small tanks to fit the payload i need
L710[18:30:59] <mischief> ah
L711[18:31:07] <mischief> i used the tri-stack adapter
L712[18:31:19] <mischief> i guess placing them sideways radially could work but that seems unstable
L713[18:32:18] <darsie> Gotta land carefully.
L714[18:32:35] <Eddi|zuHause> use more struts
