L116[15:02:12] <darkie> Eddi|zuHause: If your spot doesn't pass under you precisely enough, you can do a small plane change. Maybe more efficient would be to change your orbital period/size, perhaps even several orbits in advance, but that gets a bit tedious.

L123[15:09:43] <darkie> It's like doing the math.

L125[15:11:07] <darkie> If your tech is sufficiencly advanced I wouldn't even say it's cheating ;).
L126[15:13:13] <darkie> I've done it, and took the time between me passing the latitude and the target passing the orbit. Then I divided that time by the number of orbits and increased the orbital period by that time.
L127[15:13:54] <darkie> I used KER to see the orbital period. You could also take the difference between Ap and Pe.

L146[17:04:28] <darkie> SporkWitch: When I started playing KSP I did a lot of contracts like "Test the radial decoupler between 5000 and 8000 m and 250-300 m/s." Now that I'm seasoned I much more efficiently play towards complete tech tree and fully upgraded buildings. I think it's all ok.
L147[17:05:24] <darkie> Like, I go to orbit on the second flight, and complete 4 Record Society contracts with the first two flights.
L148[17:06:08] <darkie> Complete the tech tree with a lab on Minmus, make money to upgrade all buildings with high value IR Telescope contracts.
L149[17:06:23] <SporkWitch> sure, i'm talking specifically about the "survey X location at Y altitude" ones. They're rarely worth the effort.
L150[17:07:01] <SporkWitch> as to science, i may need to install interstellar soon just to give me stuff to spend it on lol
L151[17:07:03] <darkie> for you
L152[17:07:06] <SporkWitch> science outposts are definitely OP
L153[17:07:36] <darkie> I enjoyed rescue contracts.
L154[17:07:50] <darkie> From Kerbin orbit or Mun orbit/surface.
L155[17:08:09] <SporkWitch> rescue contracts are excellent value, as they're generally pretty easy, they pay proportionally very well, AND you get a free kerbal (though NEVER the role you need at the time lol)
L156[17:08:15] <darkie> Jetpacking from Mun surface to orbit is a nice feat.
L157[17:09:17] <darkie> I have a rescue rocket in Mun orbit where Kerbals can refill their jetpacks and then jetpack to Kerbin.
L158[17:09:29] <darkie> polar orbit
L159[17:09:33] <SporkWitch> need 14 more science to unlock the RA-100 antenna... i'm thinking i'll just timewarp the lab for it, since i'd feel silly sending up the new station with a smaller antenna just to send an upgrade out later
L160[17:09:55] <SporkWitch> that's a pretty clever idea heh
L161[17:10:14] <SporkWitch> good thing kerbals don't need to eat or breath, though lol
L162[17:10:43] <darkie> Kerbals typically need to burn all their jetpack fuel to get to Mun orbit, so the rescue rocket has to do the final rendezvous.
L163[17:11:29] <SporkWitch> one of the reasons i put a bunch of EVA fuel cannisters in the station i'm about to launch
L164[17:11:30] <darkie> And approach the Kerbal so she can grab the capsule.
L165[17:12:01] <darkie> I use the stock infinite EVA fuel in capsules.
L166[17:12:16] <SporkWitch> learned my lesson on the LKO station, I'm sending this one up as one big piece, much easier than maneuvering things into position
L167[17:12:41] <SporkWitch> capsules refill EVA fuel?
L168[17:12:48] <darkie> sure
L169[17:12:55] <SporkWitch> is it ONLY capsules?
L170[17:13:03] <darkie> They don't even have explicit EVA fuel tanks.

L172[17:13:20] <darkie> Dunno about Hitchhiker containers etc.
L173[17:13:36] <darkie> Cockpits, too.
L174[17:13:38] <SporkWitch> because i'd swear the kerbals on my minmus science outpost (a cupula and lab) have consumed and not refilled their EVA fuel...

L178[17:14:35] <SporkWitch> (and they're annoyingly not stackable)
L179[17:15:15] <darkie> shouldn't be much issue in 0 g.
L180[17:16:34] <SporkWitch> i stand corrected, cupula definitely refilled it...
L181[17:17:08] <SporkWitch> so i guess it really is just to extend the single EVA duration. I'll have to test if it refills the inventory item as well, vs just the pack

L185[17:21:11] <SporkWitch> that's really the only practical way, unless you're wanting to do weirdness with landing gear or rover wheels to attach them. I'm really hoping for proper building mechanics in KSP2. Something RTS-like I think would probably be best: have resources on-site, specify where to put the thing, then have a kerbal go over and put it together, and see it slowly get built. Would be how we'd really do it
L186[17:21:21] <SporkWitch> for a long-term colony, vs a temporary or initial outpost
L187[17:22:16] <SporkWitch> Same for orbital construction, I'm hoping we can specify a blueprint from the VAB and just need to deliver the resources, then have a shipyard module construct it over time. Greatly simplify things, and would look awesome
L188[17:23:05] <SporkWitch> you'd still need to land the initial base, and launch and assemble the initial station, but once you gained that foothold in a given orbit, you can build on it, which seems to be in line with the described progression goals in KSP2
L189[17:23:59] <SporkWitch> that said, i'm definitely breaking one of my own rules by getting so hyped for KSP2, especially with how little solid information we have so far. My normal rule is to not get hyped for things, because then you can't get disappointed lol

L191[17:24:59] <Izaya> I don't trust Take 2, at all. I'm interested to see what interesting mod interactions we get now that we're on a permanently stable KSP version
L192[17:26:15] <SporkWitch> i'm ambivalent about take 2, i'm not even sure what of theirs i've played, but my understanding is that the team working on and running KSP2's development is largely the original people, and based on what they HAVE shown and said, they seem dedicated and passionate. I'm optimistic
L193[17:26:52] <SporkWitch> I'd think the publisher would also understand that if they mess with what made KSP so successful, they'll have wasted their money, so I think they'll give the devs a fairly free hand
L194[17:29:50] <sandbox> I haven't been hyped for anything for ages
L195[17:43:30] <SporkWitch> ... why aren't the "shelves" of the service module attached to the top? lol Is this thing going to act as a separate when I deploy it? lol
L196[17:46:36] <darkie> Where did I mispost?
L197[17:47:56] <darkie> #freenode@freenode
L198[17:47:58] <darkie> All tested capsules refill EVA fuel. Two couldn't be exited from because the inline hatch was obstructed. https://i.postimg.cc/RmkRrYKB/screenshot547.png
L199[17:58:10] <SporkWitch> it just occurred to me: all kerbals have the same surname. Kerbin is basically one giant Alabamma, they're all inbred!
L200[18:17:32] <darkie> In Arabia all have the same first name: Muhammad :)
L201[18:22:36] <darkie> The other containers also refill EVA fuel: https://i.postimg.cc/pvgKp1WL/screenshot548.png
L202[18:24:52] <SporkWitch> Just finished assembly of the new minmus station: command cupula, science, 113k EC, 11k fuel, 12k oxidizer, 9k monopropellant, and 5 available docking ports. Dry mass of ~65t, wet 204 tonnes. Now to see if I can launch it loaded to minmus, or if I'll have to empty it out lol

L204[19:15:11] <Eddi|zuHause> minimus surface stuff needs large batteries to get through the night. i once tried to find the spot on the pole that has full sunlight, but couldn't find it
L205[19:16:36] <SporkWitch> >_< i got this monstrosity into orbit, and as I deploy the solar panels i notice i had symmetry off >_< lol

L208[19:17:28] <Althego> so many panels
L209[19:17:38] <Althego> will be fine
L210[19:17:51] <raptop> infinite panels, and amusing RCS layout
L211[19:18:09] <SporkWitch> it doesn't actually have any RCS, just reaction wheels
L212[19:18:28] <SporkWitch> plenty of RCS fuel though; it's a science and refueling station for minmus orbit
L213[19:20:25] <raptop> nice
L214[19:21:04] <SporkWitch> as for all the panels, labs suck up tons of power, as does transmission, so i figured go for overkill
L215[19:21:12] <SporkWitch> total EC storage is 113k
L216[19:21:31] <SporkWitch> gonna relaunch with all the panels, will grab a shot of the lifter
L217[19:24:29] <SporkWitch> wtf, 255 part limit?!
L218[19:24:51] <SporkWitch> oh, i apparently hadn't done the last VAB upgrade lol
L219[19:25:10] <SporkWitch> bah, and now i don't have enough money to launch it lol

L227[19:34:25] <SporkWitch> i did hear about that, replaced the texture on the back to say "wrong side" lol
L228[19:46:51] <SporkWitch> just occurred to me i don't even need to aim this thing, i can literally just go straight up until i reach escape velocity... lol
L229[19:49:29] <Eddi|zuHause> btw. trajectories mod seems to do what i was looking for

L244[20:08:42] <SporkWitch> i'll just throw the cheapest one on; it's not a practical station, i'm probably just gonna scrap it once i get mission credit lol
L245[20:16:38] <SporkWitch> >_< didn't reach escape lol
L246[20:16:56] <SporkWitch> that's how perfect it was, the weight of the antenna threw it off lol

L255[21:32:19] <SporkWitch> what's a good minmus altitude for easy rendesvous? 20km too low?
L256[21:33:01] <Izaya> I went for 25 with my station but I always get distracted before actually using it >.>
L257[21:33:27] <Izaya> figured if I can safely orbit at 10 then 25 would let me conveniently launch whenever
L258[21:34:12] <FLHerne> I just put it as low as possible
L259[21:34:21] <FLHerne> best-case is better
L260[21:34:43] <FLHerne> worst case I can launch to a higher orbit and let it catch up
L261[21:36:06] <Eddi|zuHause> suppose i want to leave mun from surface... should i point towards kerbin, or parallel, or away?
L262[21:37:41] <Eddi|zuHause> i suppose it doesn't really matter, i'll end up in almost polar orbit anyway
L263[21:38:55] <FLHerne> You want to be retrograde parallel to the Mun's orbit, I think
L264[21:40:04] <SporkWitch> there we go, station is now in minmus orbit with a 0.2° inclination, 11km oribt with 0.0033 eccentricity, and 105m/s left in the transfer stage :)
L265[21:44:34] <Eddi|zuHause> it's fairly irrelvant from a polar orbit, you can just put the maneuver node at the right spot
L266[21:45:26] <Eddi|zuHause> unfortunately i smashed my landing stage engine, so i couldn't do another hop on the mun for extra science
L267[21:45:39] <Eddi|zuHause> and i forgot to plant a flag
L268[21:57:52] <SporkWitch> d'oh. apparently my seismic sensor wasn't powered when the transfer stage impacted; i put it into the ground real close to it, too >_< lol
L269[22:01:48] <SporkWitch> grrr, it didn't count docking the tug back on the ship as docking in minmus orbit...
L270[22:30:19] <SporkWitch> KSC is now fully upgraded and just 2100 science to finish the stock tech tree ^^
L271[22:39:11] <darkie> My flatmate plays KSP again, because for ecological reasons I said I'll fly with her somewhere when she returns a Duna sample. :)
