L98[07:27:14] <transhohmann> I can't make an SSTO without rapiers for crap
L99[07:31:36] <Althego> you can with turbojets
L100[07:31:55] <Althego> you lose possibblt 100-200 m/s max speed on them
L101[07:32:12] <Althego> butthey take of way easier
L102[07:33:32] <transhohmann> I can't get above 18km to get the readings for that contract still, either
L103[07:34:05] <transhohmann> and so far all attempts with suborbital rockets have been thwarted by my high altitude
L104[07:34:22] <Althego> those are annoying early careeer contracts
L105[07:34:41] <Althego> you can only do them with the panthers
L106[07:34:42] <transhohmann> my best jet engine is a wheesley
L107[07:34:55] <transhohmann> that's obnoxious
L108[07:35:01] <Althego> or alternatively fly a plane with a rocket there on slower jets and use the rocket to hop up
L109[07:35:15] <transhohmann> also have been trying that
L110[07:35:26] <Althego> i you do it right you can have maybe 4 jumps before the fuel runs out
L111[07:35:41] <Althego> but it is easier to way for the pantehr
L112[07:37:34] <transhohmann> Also, geostationary orbit over hte cannery?
L113[07:39:19] <Althego> contracts specify the orbit. so you just need to reach it when you are above the target
L114[07:39:31] <Althego> and you dont even need to be exactly above
L115[07:39:36] <Althego> so possible to eyeball it
L116[07:39:43] <transhohmann> oh nice
L117[07:39:59] <transhohmann> it says specific meters
L118[07:40:21] <Althego> but normally they also show the orbit you need to reach
L119[07:40:39] <transhohmann> how do I collect the seismic data on the mun, I have tried 3 times and gotten data but apparently not the right data?
L120[07:40:44] <Althego> and that specific altitude should be the keostationary altitude anyway
L121[07:41:43] <Althego> seizmic with the yellow small cylinder? that needs to be at the points the mission specifies. you get a notification when you enter the zone of a waypoint
L122[07:41:49] <Althego> there is an other instrument
L123[07:41:54] <Althego> possibly in dlc
L124[07:42:10] <transhohmann> it doesn't ask for a location
L125[07:42:10] <Althego> that you can install anywhere, then bombard the mun wiht things, and it collects seizmic data
L126[07:42:31] <Althego> the closer to the install location and faster, the better
L127[07:42:33] <transhohmann> I have the cylinder and it wants bombaardment
L128[07:42:45] <transhohmann> what things
L129[07:42:49] <Althego> that is not the correct insturment. you need to install a deployable instrument
L130[07:43:04] <Althego> i usually use burned out stages or similar
L131[07:43:33] <transhohmann> I lonly have one deployable intrument and it is the magnetometer
L132[07:43:50] <Althego> there are others, maybe you havent enabled them yet
L133[07:44:31] <Althego> so for t he deployable science, you need to install a control station, power, possibly solar panels early on, then install the instrument. and panels like to be installed by engineers, while science instruments by scientists
L134[07:44:38] <Althego> you get bonuses for the correct job
L135[07:45:11] <Althego> on the mun the solar panels are kind of annoying because of the long night

L194[15:44:49] <SporkWitch> mildly annoying since it means i can't get the EVA and flag planting XP while i'm here, but not a huge deal since it's a pilot anyway, and i don't really need pilots right now.
L195[15:45:06] <SporkWitch> no way to with the rescue craft, but yeah, i'm just going to teleport it to the kerbin surface
L196[15:45:30] <SporkWitch> for all intents and purposes i already completed the mission, since i made rendesvous and have plenty of dV left to land and then return to kerbin
L197[15:46:36] <transhohmann> will antennae work when attached to girders
L198[15:46:39] <SporkWitch> and this will give me enough science for some new nuclear engines, including a nuclear equivalent of the rapier; no fuel consumption in stmosphere (and it doesn't care what the atmosphere is), and then can toggle it to various liquid fuels once the air's too thin
L199[15:46:54] <transhohmann> nice
L200[15:47:10] <SporkWitch> transhohmann: yes, antennae only care that they're not stowed (inside a closed cargo bay or a fairing) and are deployed
L201[15:47:23] <SporkWitch> fixed antennae will work even when in a fairing, since they don't need to deploy
L202[15:50:37] <darsie> I deployed a Communotron-16 in a fairing in the VAB.
L203[15:51:34] <SporkWitch> i think the 16 is physicsless so it doesn't count; the ones that are affected by physics stop you when inside a fairing, at least when i've tried

L205[15:54:02] <SporkWitch> clipping is still allowed to occur unless you have same vessel interaction enabled, but most deployable stuff will give an error message if you try to deploy it while stowed

L220[18:49:21] <SporkWitch> my wings burned up on the way to orbit :'(
L221[18:51:38] <Althego> there was some movie, maybe in the 80s, when some passenger space plane was stuck in orbit, and they moved some guy out in a coffin. also an other plane was flying in front of it to act as a heat shield when landing. anybody remember this?
L222[18:52:00] <SporkWitch> doesn't sound familiar

L238[20:20:37] <SporkWitch> my spaceplane does NOT want to slow down during reentry
L239[20:20:48] <SporkWitch> i'm only bleeding speed at like 0.1m/s^2
L240[20:21:11] <Mat2ch> uh, B4 is back on the OLT
L241[20:21:29] <Mat2ch> SporkWitch: you are not pancaking enough!
L242[20:21:55] <SporkWitch> Mat2ch: i'm using FAR, 45° is about the most i can risk at this altitude or i'd likely lose control
L243[20:22:04] <SporkWitch> as it is it's warning me about the crazy angle of attack lol
L244[20:22:38] <Mat2ch> you need to go in flat bottom first :D
L245[20:22:47] <Mat2ch> So you might have to redesign
L246[20:23:05] <SporkWitch> my non-FAR spaceplanes have always come in at around 45 without issue

L248[20:26:07] <SporkWitch> in fairness, it's a mk4 hull
L249[20:34:52] <SporkWitch> gonna need to add airbrakes... lol
L250[20:35:14] <SporkWitch> down to 24km and still doing 1272m/s lol
L251[20:35:42] <Mat2ch> Uh, I played with the MK4 parts very very long ago
L252[20:35:46] <Mat2ch> they look really great
L253[20:36:14] <SporkWitch> the engines i'm using lose a lot of efficiency when i scaled them down to mk2 size, and they're really built for mk4 size heh
L254[20:36:15] <Mat2ch> So scifi. Needs a warp drive now. :D
L255[20:37:04] <SporkWitch> 2.5m nuclear engines that use the atmosphere as propellant, then toggle over to liquid fuel when needed
L256[20:37:32] <SporkWitch> amusingly, the radiators i used to keep the reactor from overheating are ALSO keeping the airplane wings from melting lol
L257[20:37:43] <SporkWitch> still get warning bars, but they stay under control
L258[20:38:38] <Mat2ch> You can park another space plane in that cargo bay...
L259[20:38:55] <Mat2ch> Even bigger stock parts would've been great to have in KSP.

L261[20:39:12] <Mat2ch> I'm really looking forward to KSP2. I hope crafts with thousands of parts are possible now.
L262[20:39:29] <Mat2ch> uhh, interesting design.
L263[20:39:48] <SporkWitch> simple design, heh
L264[20:40:09] <SporkWitch> just a cockpit, the shoulder intakes, pair of engines, fat-455 wings and tailfins
L265[20:40:13] <Mat2ch> Imho the wings are not designed for this and should be much smaller
L266[20:40:17] <SporkWitch> two of the short cargo segments
L267[20:40:24] <Mat2ch> https://imgur.com/EWg4oy0 or even this design (screenshot from the parts gallery)
L268[20:40:55] <SporkWitch> may try that when i get those parts; i don't have the Big-S parts on this career yet lol

L270[20:43:27] <Mat2ch> ah, that explains the choice
L271[20:43:35] <Mat2ch> but airliner parts are not made for reentry!
L272[20:44:05] <SporkWitch> i know lol
L273[20:44:13] <SporkWitch> but i wanted to test the new engines lol
L274[20:46:20] <SporkWitch> massive overshoot, but i've turned around and trying to line up with the runway, heh
L275[20:55:54] <SporkWitch> well, i landed, but i couldn't slow down lol
L276[20:56:22] <SporkWitch> lost the wings and tailfins, but everything else was fine lol
L277[20:59:57] <Mat2ch> Well, a landing you can walk away from...
L278[21:07:13] <SporkWitch> sufficient airbrakes? lol https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/812736295814168623/939990596062429274/unknown.png

L288[21:21:37] <SporkWitch> those engines pump out over 1400kN lol
L289[21:22:04] <Mat2ch> Oh, how I wish that there will be a part-builder mode in KSP, where you can design your own parts and maybe even share it. Like having a huge database of parts from other people. With votes and such things
L290[21:22:55] <Mat2ch> Or being able to tweak every aspect of an engine. (with the problem that they can just explode if you turn the chamber pressure up too high)
L291[21:23:15] <SporkWitch> that could be fun heh
L292[21:23:24] <Mat2ch> oh yes
L293[21:24:07] <Mat2ch> I had an idea for KSP2 where you get a fully programmable controller. And you can take programming lessons in game where you learn how to program the controller, but also how to calculate orbits, transfers, etc.
L294[21:24:38] <Mat2ch> and then you can use those small programs to create whole flight plans
L295[21:25:00] <Mat2ch> launching, gravity turn, orbit insertion, transfer burns, etc.
L296[21:25:04] <Izaya> kOS as a stock feature?
L297[21:25:10] <Mat2ch> maybe even barge landing
L298[21:25:24] <Mat2ch> yes, but please not kOS itself. The programming style is horrible...

L304[21:38:45] <SporkWitch> i wish the ventral cargo bay had a variant that lowered the floor to the ground. I can make one using pistons, but it doesn't look good since you can't properly attach multiple pistons to the single panel piece
