L74[08:09:43] <marcelinethevampirespleen> as in I don't know what to build, and I've just been making planes drive into the sea
L75[08:11:06] <Althego> you could make planes drive into the sea. on laythe
L76[08:11:59] <Althego> or a plane releasing a submarine on laythe to go to the deepest point
L77[08:12:30] <raptop_> Eve speedboat
L78[08:14:52] <Althego> you can put an electric prop on it

L96[08:21:50] <marcelinethevampirespleen> but I can't seem to get anywhere without getting caught by minmus or ending up in solar orbit
L97[08:22:35] <marcelinethevampirespleen> except when I try to get to minmus, then I get stopped by kerbin or the mun
L98[08:22:42] <umbralraptop> I mean, one can always stay on the pad or in LKO for a few additional orbits to wait for mun/minmus to get out of the way
L99[08:23:36] <Althego> it is actually hard to hit minmus
L100[08:23:44] <marcelinethevampirespleen> and now I will sigh, for my impatience does not behoove me
L101[08:24:10] <marcelinethevampirespleen> ;3
L102[08:24:21] <marcelinethevampirespleen> :3*
L103[08:25:20] <marcelinethevampirespleen> and what's the bis issue with duna? I try to approach from the right angle and I get solar orbit perfectly, rather than an intercept
L104[08:25:37] <marcelinethevampirespleen> *the big issue
L105[08:25:49] <Althego> when do you launch?
L106[08:27:37] <marcelinethevampirespleen> 90 days
L107[08:27:47] <Althego> year 1 day 90?
L108[08:28:45] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I also am yet to figure out how to keep a rover and a base i\together for launch and detach them on-planet
L109[08:28:45] <Althego> duna launch window is around year 1 day 230 +- say 20 days
L110[08:28:53] <marcelinethevampirespleen> oh
L111[08:29:44] <Althego> it is possible to reach duna starting on day 10 too, but requires something like 8000 delta v from lko
L112[08:30:00] <marcelinethevampirespleen> i saw a youtube video where they launched at 90 so I went with that, I suppose they made it look easy as experienced pilots but it's an ordeal
L113[08:30:27] <Althego> then there is the injection burn
L114[08:30:47] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I did slam into it beautifully a few times
L115[08:30:59] <Althego> you dont want to go towards duna right now. you want to go where duna will be
L116[08:31:13] <Althego> ike can help you slow down
L117[08:31:22] <marcelinethevampirespleen> is it possible I'm building oversized rockets
L118[08:31:23] <Althego> also the atmosphere too
L119[08:31:48] <Althego> launch window planner http://alexmoon.github.io/ksp/
L120[08:32:18] <marcelinethevampirespleen> when I have gotten close I found heat shields are excellent for drag and I can float down sans parachute
L121[08:32:34] <Althego> especially the inflatable
L122[08:32:39] <Althego> i think it is way too good
L123[08:32:55] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I was trying to build a lander/base with wheels on
L124[08:33:06] <marcelinethevampirespleen> so it was a touch too heavy
L125[08:34:04] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I really wish I could place 4 fuel tanks, in a square, 12m apart, and connect them with science and struts
L126[08:35:13] <Judge_Dedd> Well, you can
L127[08:35:35] <Judge_Dedd> You can create something like that in the SPH
L128[08:36:06] <Judge_Dedd> I'm sure you could do it in the VAB too but I prefer the SPH symmetry for square craft
L129[08:36:09] <marcelinethevampirespleen> also I experimented with wheels on ts, using set placement, and you can't go 40 meters without jumping, it's comical really
L130[08:36:20] <marcelinethevampirespleen> hm
L131[08:36:28] <marcelinethevampirespleen> how?
L132[08:36:51] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I typed rockets not ts?
L133[08:36:57] <marcelinethevampirespleen> yeesh
L134[08:39:04] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I feel as if there are a whole lot of shortcuts and secrets I'm not aware of in the building process
L135[08:41:13] <Althego> you can change the symmetry type so it doesnt matter anymore where you are building, sph or vab
L136[08:43:53] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I've seen it happen on accident but i have only seen sph symmetry in the vab not vice versa, also as far as I'm aware there is only 2 way symmetry in the sph and you have to have an item connected to another item to place it...so how would one achieve a square with empty space in the center
L137[08:45:01] <marcelinethevampirespleen> 4 separate pillars of fuel or fuselage, separated by several meters, connected only by struts, then add on other parts
L138[08:45:05] <Althego> with the offset tool
L139[08:45:17] <marcelinethevampirespleen> or is that too hyperspecific to attain
L140[08:45:33] <Althego> but if there is something planned in the middle
L141[08:45:33] <marcelinethevampirespleen> i thought that only went a set distance?
L142[08:45:39] <umbralraptop> I want to say the R key for switching between symmetry types
L143[08:45:39] <Althego> it would be easier just to start with that
L144[08:46:08] <Althego> if you hold down shift you can drag farther
L145[08:46:09] <marcelinethevampirespleen> ah ]
L146[08:47:01] <JVFoxy> that thing when you build in KSP, without thinking too much of how you go about it, just comes naturally.. eh...
L147[08:47:12] <marcelinethevampirespleen> my apologies for being a noob
L148[08:47:53] <umbralraptop> no, no, it's fine
L149[08:48:36] <marcelinethevampirespleen> JVFoxy yes, I find myself planning one thing, then adding bits and pieces like customising a recipe, and turning up with something quite unlike what you intended but perfect for some other random use
L150[08:48:53] <Judge_Dedd> KSP is a constant learning process, no matter how long you've been playing. That's why we're here :)
L151[08:49:06] <marcelinethevampirespleen> apparently I'm a master at building high speed drift vehicles
L152[08:49:21] <Judge_Dedd> Hehe

L156[08:50:24] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I wish there was a mod for better ion engines
L157[08:50:43] <Althego> they are already like 1000x better than real ones
L158[08:50:56] <marcelinethevampirespleen> and personally I'd love to make a mod for leaving tracks on the sandy/dusty planets
L159[08:51:01] <marcelinethevampirespleen> true
L160[08:51:17] <Althego> there must be a visual mod that already does this
L161[08:51:27] <marcelinethevampirespleen> but waiting an irl month for a transfer is insane
L162[08:51:28] <JVFoxy> @marcelinethevampirespleen I'm an avid aviation type. Planes and flying/piloting. I can do rockets but I tend to stick to more reasonable sizes. I don't get into the overly crazy projects.
L163[08:53:00] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I make reasonable to small planes, JVFoxy, but my rockets tend to include 6+ boosters and barely fit in the vab without clipping into the floor, if they do at all
L164[08:53:32] <Althego> have you tried docking instead? :)
L165[08:53:33] <umbralraptop> eh, they can always be moved up

L173[08:55:02] <Althego> hehe

L200[09:03:13] <JVFoxy> sorry, haven't the files on laptop... At friend's right now
L201[09:03:14] <Althego> you probably have a wrong ascent profile
L202[09:03:53] <marcelinethevampirespleen> i try to ascend at 40 degreess up to 5000m then switch to 10 degrees
L203[09:04:37] <Althego> based on designs you either need to go with maximum speed close to the ground, going almost horizontal, or wait until at least 7 km and go supersonic there almost horizontally, barely ascending, and going at least 1300 when you flame out around 20-25 km
L204[09:05:01] <marcelinethevampirespleen> my dad was a fighter pilot and he apparently flew that way so I adopted it
L205[09:05:49] <marcelinethevampirespleen> i'm usually at 3000m/s or above but at only 15-18k
L206[09:05:52] <Althego> i havent started ksp for a few weeks now, since i collected the science tree in career
L207[09:06:07] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I'm avoiding career
L208[09:06:10] <Althego> but it is always nice to build a quick ssto
L209[09:06:14] <marcelinethevampirespleen> haven't tried
L210[09:06:29] <Althego> it is ok, but the heart of the game is in sandbox
L211[09:07:30] <JVFoxy> oh... ssto spaceplanes. uh.. let me poke my youtube a sec
L212[09:07:35] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I don't understand how to get an ssto into orbit around another planet, seeing as they take most of their fuel (if not all) getting into LKO
L213[09:08:34] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I've been trying piggybacking them on rockets but then they're too heavy to launch (possibly oversized rockets) and counterbalancing is awkward
L214[09:09:35] <Althego> maybe i go with a simpe small turbojet design now. but they always end up looking like the blackbird :)
L215[09:09:48] <marcelinethevampirespleen> right?
L216[09:10:20] <marcelinethevampirespleen> and I can't help myself, always starting with a mk. 2 and wing straakes
L217[09:11:42] <JVFoxy> lol.. I guess launching a spaceplane with the Mk3 cockpit be too much of a challenge for ya

L220[09:13:17] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I have
L221[09:13:33] <marcelinethevampirespleen> but I kept losing my wings
L222[09:13:42] <Althego> i eagerly await the stock navigation lights
L223[09:13:55] <Althego> that is what makes a plane. also would help woth night docking
L224[09:14:12] <JVFoxy> one of my unlisted (please don't share) videos from 5 years ago. A version of my Dynafly going up to orbit. There'd been some changes in KSP since so I had to go through some revisions since. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gzfHZDQ0Y8
L225[09:14:14] <marcelinethevampirespleen> not my ailerons or elevators, which is odd cos they were on in precarious ways
L226[09:14:41] <marcelinethevampirespleen> but poosh! at 40k
L227[09:14:59] <marcelinethevampirespleen> crested and wobbled and left wing gone
L228[09:15:15] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I managed to land safely though
L229[09:15:21] <marcelinethevampirespleen> one-winged
L230[09:18:09] <marcelinethevampirespleen> lovely design, are those old rapiers or?
L231[09:19:13] <marcelinethevampirespleen> JVFoxy is that really stock
L232[09:19:22] <marcelinethevampirespleen> o.o
L233[09:19:31] <JVFoxy> ya stock, old ksp version
L234[09:20:29] <JVFoxy> old whiplash engines actually...
L235[09:20:32] <marcelinethevampirespleen> color me imprressed
L236[09:20:56] <marcelinethevampirespleen> perfect filight
L237[09:21:06] <marcelinethevampirespleen> why can't I type
L238[09:21:11] <JVFoxy> but as I said, game went through a lot of changes since. Current version can carry 1t to orbit in the 1U cargo bay
L239[09:21:49] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I hate cargo bays lol
L240[09:21:52] <JVFoxy> I've another version that has a docking tunnel in the bay for use with stations
L241[09:21:57] <marcelinethevampirespleen> they explode the contents
L242[09:21:58] <Althego> let's see how the well renowned untitled spacecraft fares
L243[09:23:36] <JVFoxy> I've another spaceplane, my Dakota, uses Mk2 body parts. its a bit of an odd ball. Set of Mk2 fuel tanks with intakes and pair of whiplashes on the sides, but they are sideways. (widest section is vertical)
L244[09:24:01] <marcelinethevampirespleen> ooh

L246[09:25:01] <JVFoxy> Uses the big S shuttle wings and can still look ok
L247[09:25:41] <JVFoxy> oof.. ok now I'm wondering if I should snag my KSP pic archive next time I swing by home so I can at least show
L248[09:26:36] <marcelinethevampirespleen> sounds a bit like my Dart Evader, same idea, same wings, but built with four wings for stable flight at any angle, I find it flies better onits sidelike a fish, though this may just be weight distribution
L249[09:26:55] <marcelinethevampirespleen> yes, the name is memeworthy
L250[09:29:50] <Althego> 500 m/s remains in orbit, enough for a docking and getting back
L251[09:30:08] <Althego> with 2 passengers aside from the pilot
L252[09:31:52] <JVFoxy> mine doesn't have to fly sideways cuz of the body parts
L253[09:34:24] ⇨ Joins: sandbox (~sandbox@host-92-1-148-207.as43234.net)
L254[09:34:31] <Althego> hehe exploded because of incorrect reentry
L255[09:40:07] <JVFoxy> ... too steep or too shallow?
L256[09:40:29] <Althego> usually i want to glide to the space center
L257[09:40:54] <Althego> because of this i kept it at low angle for less drag for a while
L258[09:41:00] <Althego> and the mk1 cockpit doesnt like that
L259[09:41:16] <Althego> have to have it at max angle as long as possible
L260[09:42:32] <marcelinethevampirespleen> hm
L261[09:44:27] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I like to come in with trhe bottom of the plane pointing prograde, use that to aerobrake through the outer atmosphere, and freefall til kss is in reasonable range, and kick in the engines to right myself and start the glide in to the runway
L262[09:44:41] <JVFoxy> getting the right approach I've found to always be a pain. Far too many parameters to take into account
L263[09:44:53] <Althego> yes but i would have needed to use the engine to reeach ksc
L264[09:45:11] <marcelinethevampirespleen> however I turn at random on the runway while taking off and often drive off the runway and launch off of the grass
L265[09:45:22] <Althego> the trajectory was ok but the heating was not. would do better on second try
L266[09:46:03] <marcelinethevampirespleen> lol all my planes have radiators, i assume I'm coming in hot and if I don't that's a bonus
L267[09:46:15] <Althego> useless weight
L268[09:46:25] <marcelinethevampirespleen> ish
L269[09:46:27] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I'
L270[09:46:40] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I've used radiators as wings before
L271[09:46:41] <JVFoxy> heh.. only time I've used a Mk1 pod was as a test flight. Treated it like building with a Mk1 command pod. Stuck a tiny heatshield to the bakside.
L272[09:46:46] <marcelinethevampirespleen> unintentionally
L273[09:47:00] <marcelinethevampirespleen> hah
L274[09:47:35] <JVFoxy> what would you use radiators for in early career anyways?
L275[09:47:55] <Althego> they work as heat shield
L276[09:48:10] <Althego> i guess sticking them on the underside of thep lane would help
L277[09:48:24] <JVFoxy> cannon fodder mode or?
L278[09:49:34] <marcelinethevampirespleen> on the front of the aerofoil
L279[09:49:35] <JVFoxy> far as I know, the simple non-folding panel types only help to cool the part they are attached to, and in smaller part, anything attached to the part it son
L280[09:49:48] <Althego> yes
L281[09:49:53] <Althego> but you dont even need to turn them on
L282[09:50:06] <Althego> they wouldnt have time to radiate away the heat anyway
L283[09:50:17] <Althego> the point is that they have higher heat tolerance than the mk1 parts
L284[09:50:32] <JVFoxy> I barely use them as is anyways.. far as I remember, they always on. But there's been some changes to them in recent KSP versions
L285[09:50:40] <marcelinethevampirespleen> well they at least explode first so the wings don't have to
L286[09:51:07] <marcelinethevampirespleen> it's fixed some really inefficient planes survive for me
L287[09:53:46] <JVFoxy> Althego some of my plane designs, the engines get pretty hot after a bit. you'd think the radiator panels would help a bit? Or would they create too much drag?
L288[09:54:03] <Althego> but you cant put them on the engines
L289[09:54:16] <JVFoxy> jet engines, not rocket
L290[09:55:04] <Althego> the smaller jet engines get how when you operate the mat thigh speeds
L291[09:55:11] <JVFoxy> well ok, not directly, but to the nacelle connected to them.
L292[09:55:30] <Althego> but otherwise it isnt an issue i ever worried about
L293[09:55:44] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I'd try it
L294[09:55:58] <marcelinethevampirespleen> but don't listen to me on any account
L295[09:56:09] <JVFoxy> I've noticed one of my high speed early career birds, flying low and fast, wheezers do get a bit toasty
L296[09:56:25] <Althego> they can even explode, i think it happened to me once
L297[09:56:45] <marcelinethevampirespleen> ohhh yes
L298[09:56:51] <marcelinethevampirespleen> yesyesyyes
L299[09:57:16] <JVFoxy> granted.. I don't usually fly low if its a long flight. Better to go up high, around 8-10km, better fuel range
L300[09:57:30] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I've had a glider explode and kill the crew just from overheating
L301[09:57:53] <Judge_Dedd> I haven't read the whole scrollback but RE: something you were talking about earlier: I remember there used to be a mod to leave footprints and tyre tracks
L302[09:58:08] <marcelinethevampirespleen> oh?
L303[09:58:11] <JVFoxy> lol... when flying hot for a while. landing the plane, kerbal gets out, shows heat warning on kerbal. Glitch?
L304[09:58:37] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I've seen this JVFoxy
L305[09:59:06] <JVFoxy> ya, seen it once or twice, not sure whats going on. Maybe Kerbal getting radiated by plane skin?
L306[09:59:17] <marcelinethevampirespleen> but I was crash-landing a rover rocket on moho

L309[09:59:48] <JVFoxy> Mine you, heat gauge doesn't seem to go down. I think some people even reported seeing it going up, even when not doing anything
L310[10:00:36] <marcelinethevampirespleen> if only we had inflatable landing cushions like the ones used for the u.s's curiosity rover

L314[10:01:34] <Althego> there used to be a mod with those inflatable things
L315[10:01:39] <Althego> maybe it still exists
L316[10:02:02] <marcelinethevampirespleen> ah wait
L317[10:02:15] <marcelinethevampirespleen> Judge_Dedd it seems the mod died
L318[10:02:46] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I found a mod with inflatable habitats but not safe for bouncing
L319[10:02:51] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I've tried
L320[10:03:16] <Judge_Dedd> Mods often die, sadly, but they are often revived by others. Might be worth searching around a bit
L321[10:03:38] <JVFoxy> I should see if Kerbinside still alive
L322[10:04:37] <JVFoxy> When I put a few building, something of a settlement south of KSP, later I realized Kerbintown was actually in the same area
L323[10:07:36] <marcelinethevampirespleen> ... town?\
L324[10:08:14] <marcelinethevampirespleen> settlement?
L325[10:08:17] <marcelinethevampirespleen> building?
L326[10:08:29] <marcelinethevampirespleen> these word are foreign to me
L327[10:08:34] <marcelinethevampirespleen> lolol
L328[10:09:01] <marcelinethevampirespleen> kerbal knows only sky, and death
L329[10:09:08] <marcelinethevampirespleen> x3
L330[10:12:13] <JVFoxy> kerbintown was a mod from ages ago. Places a city under construction near the southern tip of the mainland from KSP. Kerbinside is another mod, allows more specific buildings. Alternate launch sites, a nav feature.

L528[14:24:19] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I'm guessing since it flew fine until flipping backwards, not enough tail
L529[14:25:08] <Althego> convention is x forward y right z down
L530[14:27:00] <marcelinethevampirespleen> ok it was spinning to the left while remaining pointed at 0 degrees are you happy now'
L531[14:27:21] <marcelinethevampirespleen> I'm bad at math, tranch
L532[14:27:27] <marcelinethevampirespleen> lol
L533[14:27:33] <Althego> they also correspond to roll pitch and yaw
L534[14:28:04] <marcelinethevampirespleen> well what's -x then, retrograde travel?
L535[14:29:47] <darsie> Althego: I think x/y/z should be roll/yaw/pitch.
L536[14:29:56] <Althego> that s what i said
L537[14:30:41] <Althego> x axis points forward, therefore rotating around it is roll, y points right, rotation is pitch, z points down rotation is yaw
L538[14:32:02] <marcelinethevampirespleen> wack
L539[14:32:18] <marcelinethevampirespleen> rotation is pitch
L540[14:32:48] <marcelinethevampirespleen> fine it was spinnin on the z axis with little to no yx axis movement

L554[14:44:46] <marcelinethevampirespleen> yes

L566[14:47:46] <Althego> usually because as fuel drains the com moves, so you want to keep a relationship like this even for reentry when you are low on fuel

L575[14:58:11] <Mat2ch> Althego: that's one of the things I find the hardest to do. Keeping the CoM almost in the same position while the fuel drains
L576[14:58:56] <Mat2ch> and it would be much much muuuuuuuuuuuuch easier if there was an option to drain all active lf and ox fuels simultaneous
L577[14:58:57] <Althego> problem if you build your plane asa one long tube
L578[14:59:28] <Mat2ch> But that's how planes are built. Low profile for fewest drag! ;)
L579[15:01:44] <Althego> then you have to keep a little ballast

L584[15:07:35] <Mat2ch> well, it usually try to select a few heavy parts that get on the front to counter the weight of the engines
L585[15:07:50] <Mat2ch> and it would be also easier if the smaller wings would hold fuel as well
L586[15:08:39] <Mat2ch> and I have managed to get the ration right, but it's hard and lots of fiddeling around.
L587[15:08:58] <Mat2ch> Could be made easy by having a slider which lets you fuel/unload the plane
L588[15:09:08] <Althego> this is the reason why skylon has the engines on the wingtips
L589[15:09:25] <Althego> yes that fuel slider thing is something i always wanted
L590[15:09:44] <Althego> really annoying to do it for all tanks during editing
L591[15:12:55] <Mat2ch> yeah
L592[15:13:02] <Mat2ch> I wonder how Skylon is doing
L593[15:13:13] <Althego> skylon is not doing, allah is doing
L594[15:13:20] <Althego> i could not let it pass
L595[15:13:43] <Althego> although i think this highlights the mods
L596[15:14:35] <Mat2ch> hrhr
L597[15:14:51] <Althego> the engine is still not finished
L598[15:15:09] <Althego> the precooler operation was a requirement for the engine
L599[15:15:20] <Althego> but it is just one part and the whole thing is completely new
L600[15:15:40] <Althego> on the other hand spacex made more progress with starship in less time
L601[15:19:35] <Mat2ch> Starship will probably be flying on a regular basis, when Skylon first lifts off.
L602[15:20:11] <Althego> why would anybody want to use anything else at that point?
L603[15:20:35] <Mat2ch> And that is what annoys me about ESA, they're slow, make some erratic decisions and have some unnecessary secrecy to them (or just bad information politics)
L604[15:20:47] <Mat2ch> a bit like Valve, but with tax payers money
L605[15:21:09] <Althego> nasa and roscosmos does the same
L606[15:21:40] <Althego> maybe the chinese are going to move in the right direction, but it will take them years to catch up
L607[15:22:36] <Mat2ch> until they run out of money.
L608[15:22:55] <Mat2ch> then it's going to be as slow als the rest. :D
L609[15:23:02] <Althego> meanwhile the indians achieve human spaceflight with conventional rockets

L658[21:22:14] <Mat2ch> I really should complain in the forum that we don't get any updates from there here and I have to do that :P
L659[21:28:43] <packbart> there's probably a bot for that ;)
L660[21:31:04] <packbart> oh, the inventory thingy now has volume
L661[21:33:07] <packbart> interesting addition. I like it
L662[21:35:45] <Mat2ch> yeah, well, now it needs containers for repair kits
L663[21:36:56] <packbart> hm? oh right, this isn't exclusively Breaking Ground, is it?
L664[21:37:06] <Mat2ch> time to hit the sheets
L665[21:37:24] <Mat2ch> what they were showing is a container for three repair kits or other tools
L666[21:37:34] <Mat2ch> and you need three repair kits for one wheel
L667[21:37:36] <Mat2ch> so...
L668[21:37:46] <Mat2ch> better carry a few hundred around
L669[21:38:03] <packbart> ah. hm. looked like the BG inventory to me, su I assumed the same containers would work
L670[21:38:33] <packbart> but yeah, maybe you can stack them at that's what the volume bar is for. we'll see
