L19[01:51:49] <SporkWitch> so to my question last night re: efficiently moving fuel around, if you open multiple tanks and hit "out" on the one you want to be the source, it will fill all of the open tanks
L20[01:51:58] <SporkWitch> i assuming it obeys priority, as well
L21[01:53:47] <SporkWitch> gah, and because of how I sent my tug up, it now thinks its orientation is upside down >_< lol
L22[01:54:03] <SporkWitch> is there any way to redefine which is dorsal and which is ventral ? lol
L23[01:54:52] <SporkWitch> i was wondering why my controls werenn't working how i expected lol
L24[01:55:30] <SporkWitch> nm, control point was wrong, that's what did it >_< lol
L25[02:05:13] <SporkWitch> ... when you accidentally hit left-shift after docking your tug and forgetting to turn the engines off...
L26[02:08:46] <SporkWitch> station construction lesson definitely learned: if you plan to have a bunch of fuel storage on it, make sure the fuel storage module is the first thing you put in orbit; everything else will be lighter and easier to rendesvous and attach lol

L93[12:43:34] <Althego> doesnt look special
L94[12:46:54] <darkie> It has uniform thinness, which makes it break less likely from thermal shock.
L95[12:47:09] <darkie> I like them.
L96[12:47:24] <Althego> just dont keep molten lead in them or something
L97[12:47:44] <darkie> I could, if I heat the glass slowly.
L98[12:48:13] <darkie> But when the lead melts and sticks to the glass, then solidifies and contracts it can break.
L99[12:48:57] <Althego> anyway for human consumable liquids the possibility of thermal shock induced break is low

L158[16:40:50] <Althego> simplest solution is irssi in screen
L159[16:41:08] <Althego> you dont even need to install it on multiple machines, just one
L160[16:42:00] <SporkWitch> Bebiezaza: you need something that stays connected, like a bouncer (such as znc), or as Althego said, just run irssi in a screen or tmux session

L171[17:33:50] <darkie> Hmm, at Kerbin it's 950 to SOI, so maybe teh same.
L172[17:34:42] <darkie> But then you can launch East.
L173[17:34:55] <darkie> hmm

L198[18:07:43] <SporkWitch> still no idea what a kiara is
L199[18:07:43] <Althego> usually not more than once a day
L200[18:08:03] <Althego> a phoenix :)
L201[18:09:25] <darkie> I have two ongoing missions, blocking free play.
L202[18:09:33] * SporkWitch rolls eyes
L203[18:10:54] <darkie> 1. Capture a gargantuan class I comet to solar orbit. 2. Get to Dres and back with a tight dv budget.
L204[18:11:29] <SporkWitch> in what sense are they blocking free play?
L205[18:11:45] <Eddi|zuHause> on my current trajectory i have a duna encounter in 3 years... what maneuvers could i run with ca. 1000m/s that would make it sooner?
L206[18:12:01] <darkie> If I return to my comet mission everything I have played after that will be in a dead timeline.
L207[18:12:30] <darkie> Except I'd still have teh rocket designs.
L208[18:12:52] <SporkWitch> ah, you're not willing to let the mission run concurrently, gotcha
L209[18:13:34] <darkie> Well, I do that, but eventually I want just one active timeline.
L210[18:14:09] <Eddi|zuHause> i don't understand, why can't you just switch back and forth between vessels?
L211[18:14:19] <SporkWitch> if you are letting missions run concurrently, you HAVE one timeline... concurrent means concurrent: your comet mission is there, time is elapsing, you're just doing something else while it's on its way...
L212[18:14:50] <SporkWitch> Eddi|zuHause: i'm 99% sure he literally has a separate quicksave and doesn't want to run missions concurrently since it complicates loading quicksaves to correct mistakes
L213[18:15:02] <darkie> Ahh, that. No, I'm well beyond the time to intercept the comet.
L214[18:15:19] <darkie> I could capture a different comet.
L215[18:15:48] <SporkWitch> i tend to run one mission at a time for similar reasons, but i have stuff I've no problem just letting run, because i'm comfortable enough with it at this point I don't need to worry about a screwup on the larger scale. That stuff at most needs a quicksave before and after burns / landing attempts
L216[18:16:21] <darkie> But I guess the current one would have to escape the solar system. Or I could stop tracking it. But I already accepted the contract and I'm not sure if it doesn't expire and thus can't be cancelled.
L217[18:16:41] <darkie> Eddi|zuHause: Reduce Pe?
L218[18:21:45] <darkie> Eddi|zuHause: If you start a Duna mission during a transfer window it doesn't last 3 years.
L219[18:27:02] <Eddi|zuHause> i didn't start a duna mission, i started an "escape kerbin" mission, where i caught a mun flyby and am now on a minimus flyby. now looking at where to go from there
L220[18:28:36] <darkie> Did you escape nicely prograde, or is your orbit crossing Kerbin's orbit?
L221[18:29:47] <darkie> ppl told me a Mun flyby isn't worth it. I guess that's true, if you have enough dv. But it can save a bit. Minmus won't do much gravity assist wise.
L222[18:29:58] <Eddi|zuHause> current trajectory is prograde, and i have two maneuvers planned, one at minimus PE to raise AP to duna level, and one at future AP to lower PE to find a duna flyby
L223[18:30:18] <Eddi|zuHause> well, the objective was to get science from the flyby
L224[18:30:24] <darkie> mhm
L225[18:30:55] <SporkWitch> i assume this is a probe mission?
L226[18:31:05] <Eddi|zuHause> yes. unmanned probe
L227[18:31:10] <darkie> if you flyby Duna (and maybe even Ike), you could return to Kerbin.
L228[18:31:35] <Eddi|zuHause> not much point in flying back
L229[18:31:42] <SporkWitch> Not a big deal if it's lost, then. Lessons learned either way. My first trip to a planet is always unmanned for exactly that reason
L230[18:31:50] <darkie> Got comms to transmit science to Kerbin?
L231[18:32:13] <Eddi|zuHause> yes, not sure how far they work, though
L232[18:33:06] <darkie> May have to wait for a Kerbin conjunction.

L234[18:33:39] <darkie> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposition_(astronomy)
L235[18:33:45] <Eddi|zuHause> i have two of the 5M antennas on the probe
L236[18:33:57] <Eddi|zuHause> they say "combinable"
L237[18:34:00] <darkie> That won't suffice, I think.
L238[18:34:05] <SporkWitch> My first Eve probe came up short on dV, ended up with a ridiculously eccentric orbit that swings between low- and high-space, even after exhausting my RCS fuel to bring the apoapsis down as much as i could heh
L239[18:34:19] <SporkWitch> (that was before I had ion engines, though, so it was just an ant and a bunch of oscar-b tanks)
L240[18:35:08] <SporkWitch> per the chart in the link i gave you, that's not nearly enough signal strength; that probe is lost

L242[18:35:33] * darkie wrote this silly, insanely long https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Tutorial:Low_tech_Duna_sample_return
L243[18:35:43] <SporkWitch> well, at least until you set up a relay network with better antennas, but since you won't be able to make the capture burn unless it's perfectly oriented before it loses signal, that'd be moot
L244[18:35:47] <Eddi|zuHause> that's ok... reaching duna was never the point. just a nice gimmick
L245[18:36:07] <SporkWitch> fair, and remember: failure is part of the fun and the learning process
L246[18:36:21] <SporkWitch> that's why we use probes first: no kerbals (and more importantly, their xp) lost
L247[18:36:49] <Eddi|zuHause> the point was always just "escape kerbin SOI"

L249[18:37:08] <SporkWitch> escaping kerbin's SOI isn't overly difficult, only takes like 1km/s
L250[18:37:11] <Eddi|zuHause> so the last expected thing was to transmit sun SOI science
L251[19:01:33] <SporkWitch> please tell me this wasn't fixed, i soooo need to use this to make a TIE Fighter lol
L252[19:01:35] <SporkWitch> https://youtu.be/zZqe5B7Kiak?t=126
L253[19:02:34] <Althego> i think it wasnt
L254[19:03:09] <Althego> if the docking port engine is still there that is better for a tie fighter

L299[21:19:59] <Eddi|zuHause> the problem with plane missions on the other side of the planet: you can't fast forward 30 minutes
L300[21:20:24] <SporkWitch> Eddi|zuHause: 1) suborbital hop, 2) better time warp mod
L301[21:23:41] <Eddi|zuHause> i might check out 2
L302[21:25:11] <Eddi|zuHause> later...
L303[21:29:22] <SporkWitch> better time warp enables higher physics timewarp rates, as well as time warp while accelerating in space (time warp through that 2h ion engine burn!)
L304[21:32:36] <SporkWitch> also enables slowing or even pausing time (so you can take your time calculating maneuvers; this is a huge one IMO, since unlike IRL, we can't really calculate everything from mission start, especially the ascent)
