L1[00:20:42] <SporkWitch> Mat2ch: i wouldn't be so sure, the Kraken is a fickle beast, if he deams you should flip, you will flip

L2[00:21:37] <SporkWitch> *deems

L27[11:38:28] <darsie> 1338

L31[13:42:48] <FLHerne> I do wish KSP had some way to automate/timewarp rover travel

L32[13:43:00] <FLHerne> even physical timewarp tends to make the wheels explode in short order

L33[13:44:52] <packbart> the rugged wheels work for me at high physical warp

L34[13:45:25] <packbart> (and of course there's a mod for that. Bon Voyage, the background rover autopilot)

L35[13:46:18] <packbart> hm. only have an example of 2x speed at KSC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzFymVZ5MJw - the rover base survives 30+m/s on Mun, tooo

L39[14:18:42] <darsie> rugged wheels are faster, too.

L40[14:20:08] <Pinkbeast> Kerbal Foundries wheels work :-)

L42[15:19:16] <packbart> yeah, but they use a custom WheelBase which isn't recognized by MechJeb, so the rover autopilot doesn't see them as having ground contact

L43[15:19:54] <packbart> I have an idea how to make them/MJ compatible but was too lazy, yet, to try it. I rarely use the Foundry things

L44[15:30:43] <Pinkbeast> I was thinking about doing the same thing but the current Elcano rules forbid any kind of autopilot

L46[15:59:27] <SporkWitch> bon voyage works well, and no explosion risk since it only operates when it's out of physics range

L47[15:59:46] <SporkWitch> does apply a speed penalty, but that's a minor inconvenience

L48[16:07:06] <FLHerne> hm, I should probably install that

L49[16:07:15] <FLHerne> whenever I have a computer that can run KSP again, anyway

L50[16:07:40] <FLHerne> tbh I kind of hate KSP terrain in general

L51[17:07:41] <Althego> kikkerikii

L52[17:07:52] <Althego> and a rocket is reentering right now

L53[17:08:11] <Althego> seems to be falling into the pacific

L54[17:10:47] <SporkWitch> controlled fall or something-went-wrong fall? O.o

L55[17:11:21] <Althego> went fine, but uncontrolled

L56[17:11:31] <Althego> the lon march 5b that launched the new station module

L57[17:11:48] <Althego> every time a module is launched the first stage stay in orbit

L58[17:16:35] <SporkWitch> oh, them

L59[17:17:36] <SporkWitch> people aren't taking those launches seriously enough, you can bet your but it's not science missions

L60[17:18:47] <SporkWitch> FLHerne: understandable. doesn't help that the physics are a bit wonky so brakes don't work right and you slide around when stationary lol. SOOOOO glad they added that terrain anchor feature

L61[17:19:41] <FLHerne> the sliding is annoying, but it's also just really boring

L62[17:20:24] <FLHerne> the new textures don't stop the surface being incredibly smooth, with basically identical undulations on every planet

L63[17:20:47] <FLHerne> and the scatter objects become unconvincing after driving through a few :p

L64[17:20:58] <FLHerne> although I admit that crashing into them would be annoying too

L65[17:33:10] <packbart> well, there are mod options, too. ISTR one that adds colliders to the scatter objects. and then there's Parallax which adds a whole different way of textures (but is mainly made for stock planets)

L66[17:33:43] <packbart> I want fishies in the oceans :)

L67[17:42:03] <Pinkbeast> Parallax looks nice but rather decreases the correspondence between actual terrain height and visual appearance

L68[17:42:50] <SporkWitch> i just added parallax the other day, definitely improves the visuals

L69[17:43:14] <SporkWitch> i don't find the disparity an issue, since there's little correlation between stock visuals and how your vehicle behaves, either lol

L70[17:44:23] <Pinkbeast> FLHerne: You don't hate KSP terrain. You feel mild dislike. When you have roved around Eve on a polar route, then you will hate KSP terrain. :-)

L71[17:44:33] <FLHerne> Pinkbeast: fair

L72[17:44:51] <Althego> hehe the mun polar regions are also annoying

L73[17:46:13] <SporkWitch> aren't all the poles pretty bad, something about the coordinate system they used?

L74[17:46:20] <Althego> yes

L75[17:46:31] <SporkWitch> that's how we got moho's mohole

L76[17:46:40] <Althego> which is now an actual feature

L77[17:46:49] <SporkWitch> granted, but it started as a bug :P

L78[17:47:15] <Althego> bug or feature, it is relative

L79[17:47:32] <SporkWitch> much like skiing in StarSiege Tribes. Exploitable bug in the first game, but it enhanced the gameplay and was universally loved by players they made sure it still worked in Tribes 2, made it easier to pull off, and even made it part of the (pretty minimal, making it even more noteworthy) tutorial

L80[17:48:45] <SporkWitch> i'm watching a movie on amazon that's supposed to be based in the cthulhu mythos and it is insultingly bad :'(

L81[17:48:57] <SporkWitch> ican't stop watching though, have to see how it ends lol

L83[18:46:38] <packbart> yeah, the spacetime rift at the Mun's poles are weird. An expedition fell through and went poof

L84[18:49:13] <packbart> .oO( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPUJG2jTw9s )

L85[18:49:27] <Althego> hehe nanowar of steel

L86[18:49:36] <packbart> Do you feel beyond good and evil today?

L87[18:53:29] <Althego> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUUGVVQjUNk

L88[18:55:52] <Althego> to this day i havent found an official lyrics. somebody must have sung it up, so it must have existed

L89[18:56:07] <Althego> doesnt help that the language is made up

L90[18:58:57] <Mat2ch> !mission

L91[18:58:57] <LunchBot> No mission for you. You get Carth. KSC is burned down by a 400-gigawatt maser.

L92[18:59:20] <Althego> hehe

L93[18:59:54] <Althego> so what or who is carth,

L94[18:59:55] <Althego> ?

L95[19:02:43] <packbart> Althego: I actually bought two of the Adiemus albums (as heard on TV). They're similar in that they use voice as an instrument. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze4TijdkoS8&list=PLDC1820097E3A5635&index=9

L98[19:17:29] <raptop> ^

L99[19:17:44] <raptop> Althego: I think this means we should encourage you to play Knights of the Old Republic

L100[19:17:56] <Althego> i never played it

L105[20:42:45] <raptop> !outcome add That's right, it goes in the square hole!

L106[20:42:45] <LunchBot> Added outcome: That's right, it goes in the square hole!

L107[20:46:57] <Az> !mission

L108[20:46:57] <LunchBot> You build a Dyson Sphere around Kerbol. Structural failure occurs on the linkage between Jebediah Kerman and EAS-1 External Command Seat.

L113[21:51:04] <Mat2ch> !mission

L114[21:51:04] <LunchBot> You find yourself in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Дмитрий Рогозин offers to sell you a trampoline.

L115[21:51:54] <Mat2ch> Uh, nope, he can keep that trampoline.

L116[21:52:03] <Mat2ch> It's probably stolen anyway :P

L122[22:25:28] <UmbralRaptop> !mission

L123[22:25:28] <LunchBot> You establish a Munbase. The only transmissions you can receive are the words "john madden" repeated over and over again. You attempt to obtain a surface sample from Jool.

L124[22:25:43] <UmbralRaptop> o_O

L125[22:29:55] <Mat2ch> It feels like two outcomes in one.

L126[22:29:57] <Mat2ch> !mission

L127[22:29:58] <LunchBot> You fornicate without the consent of the Kraken. You are attacked by the Infinite Space Goose.

L128[22:30:20] <Mat2ch> Whoops.

L129[22:45:33] <raptop> The Kraken has many spies and allies

L130[22:47:17] <Mat2ch> And I should not read twitter hashtags.

L131[22:47:21] <Mat2ch> It melts your brain.

L133[22:53:55] <XXCoder1> ;mission

L134[22:53:55] <LunchBot> You invent another clever name that #KSPOfficial should be renamed to. Your efforts are misdirected and fail to address the underlying problem. Everything explodes.

L136[22:54:16] <XXCoder1> oh boy conceptal exposion

L137[22:54:21] <XXCoder1> most dangerous one of all
