[00:03:22] thanks [00:05:01] by scaling low-level chutes, I bet I can recover my first stage too. [00:08:08] or just put as many as possible and then some [00:08:24] it's the kerbal way [00:08:40] with a level 1 VAB and 30 parts, as many as possible is distinctly low. [00:10:43] ah, i see [00:11:00] get to orbit already so you can use the funds to upgrade! [00:12:09] someone said upgrading the VAB or whatever.. you loose a biome? [00:12:41] upgrade the VAB one tier so you can do a munar free return? [00:13:06] no, I did use KEI [00:13:17] and that's tempting, never done a free return. Think I'd want nodes for that. [00:13:47] Immediate plan is orbit, then simply get to Mun, orbit, get back. [00:13:55] then I should have the tools to get more funds. [00:14:48] yea but... https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/285225308513847415/7A583D905E3F5BC7512482CDA06E0094EFAA7162/ [00:15:44] https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/285225308513848263/7BA144DC162560954CE0EB361422A837371DE3C3/ [00:15:55] eh..? [00:15:55] why get kerbin science when you can get space science? higher multipliers [00:15:57] just watched saluyt 7 [00:16:00] nice movie [00:16:11] sure it's cheaper to get to but it's not worth living with a 30 part limit [00:16:33] KrazyKrl: stick some fins on for goodness sakes [00:17:45] I've challenged myself to see how far I could get with as few parts... [00:18:00] https://imgur.com/a/NBWta [00:18:00] https://i.imgur.com/2AxSsK4.jpg [00:18:16] that should get to orbit, and very comfortably recover the boosters and first stage [00:18:44] though, hmm, could thrust limit the boosters. glad I made myself check that. [00:19:16] hmm.. anyone ever done drop tanks on a rocket before? [00:19:28] I don't need no stinkin' fins. [00:19:43] 11k munar flyby though. [00:20:32] jcb: kind of unnecessary, plus it raises twr by a lot [00:20:38] jcb: better to just stage [00:21:51] fins don't help unless they are control surfaces anyhow. rockets should be stable enough without stability enhancers. [00:24:14] iirc that rocket was launched on a flyby with literally the launch pad upgraded to level 2... even a level 1 VAB was used. [00:24:49] well, saluyt 7 is a nice movie but I feel like they exagerated the facts a little [00:25:13] A movie that embelishes the facts? What a travesty! [00:27:25] level 2 launch pad is a standard for me. [00:27:32] VAB is pretty expensive. [00:27:45] ... raises twr huh? [00:28:41] I do have electrical parts etc to do the tourist trade [00:28:50] Yep... i pretty much had to upgrade the pad to level 2. I don't think you can make it to the mun with a crew pod along with the starter parts below 18tonnes. [00:28:59] movie based on facts.. wouldn't that just be a documentary? [00:29:28] And if you can... having the extra dV allocated to make up for no patched conics and no manuver nodes would probably be the hitching point. [00:29:57] And even then... i doubt you could pack science experiments. [00:30:29] yeah. [00:31:10] IIRC, the VAB is about as expensive as both components of patched conics. [00:31:14] heh.. strap a kerbal to the stop of the rocket.. there's your science.. I'm sure he'll have lots to say once back [00:31:35] it is possible to do a lot just by priority unlocking the bigger tanks (T-400 in particular) [00:32:10] heh [00:32:20] was thinking EVA reports over Mun biomes [00:32:38] and, indeed, spare dV. [00:32:49] 30 parts does kind of limit you a lot.... its just barely enough to get a plane made with a couple of science parts [00:33:02] Well... the entire point of that flyby mission with level 1 everything(except launchpad)... was for massive science points when most sciences are super cheap. [00:33:25] I still need to learn plane design. [00:33:47] I have every 45 science node, and like 3 @90 [00:33:57] hmm... ya but doing things too quickly, you miss out on some of the firsts based contracts. [00:34:48] like docking in orbit? [00:34:51] a lot of the kerbin and mun firsts aren't really worth it, by the time you get them you've got bigger fish to fry [00:35:04] I don't think there's much else I generally miss. [00:35:23] first docking in orbit actually gives you a few firsts... [00:35:57] when I get back to the game I'll look at that one [00:36:02] it can also be repeated around the mun I think? [00:36:13] Well, you can easily brute force your way though via farming science... The real fun is making your own challenges while not needing to make the game super grindy. [00:36:22] I usually think of it in terms of whether it'll give me as much funds as things that are equally fun and easy to do. [00:37:05] for me.. docking with the JR one.. gave me first meet up, first docking.. don't remember if building spacestation thing was under same as docking. Then you can crew transfer between ships if you a spare seat [00:37:14] yeah. I find science mode too easy, but I'm at the part of the game where I seem to chronically need funds. [00:37:31] orbit kerbin should do a lot to fix that. [00:37:54] meh.. its more about the parts and not enough science for me... [00:38:03] I also sorta force myself delaying upgrading things [00:38:21] Everyone knows that KSP is 90% VAB, 25% Flight. [00:38:33] I' [00:39:09] I'm hoping to do a video of a mun fly around using docking of two craft/ships... Mk1 pod and a booster stage, both sent up seperately [00:39:24] nice [00:39:46] gemini did something similar but kept it in orbit around Earth [00:40:07] a science game would be good for working through USI, setting up bases and such. [00:40:29] its also currently the highest orbiting crewed craft to date... ya we went ot the moon but that wasn't techinically an 'orbit' around Earth [00:40:51] https://78.media.tumblr.com/16f022251a8a19459fe259fe674c5089/tumblr_p2iaolQGE91wftuoeo3_540.png [00:42:21] I've been pondering RP-0... just to change things up a little... [00:43:12] I also get a little nervous just thinking of launching massive creations right from the start [00:43:34] I generally never launch more than a third of my funds. [01:03:24] I rarely launch most of my money, but I often spend it on upgrading. [01:03:31] yeah, this. [01:03:51] I had level 2 launchpad and AC after my... second launch? [01:04:16] I need to learn how to dock in orbit, and how to do those specific survey of Kerbin jobs. Probably easy enough with solid rockets. [01:05:34] starting the game now... [01:05:43] I have a stock install too, so I could do the docking etc tutorials [01:05:49] Pakaran: keep us updated [01:06:03] sorry. [01:06:12] Pakaran: i would strongly recommend tutorials, v helpful [01:06:30] if I'm spamming, tell me. [01:06:49] pfft [01:06:54] Pretty sure I've done that one at some point. One issue is I need to learn the keys. [01:06:56] this channel needs some activity anyway [01:07:04] when you said 'keep us updated', I thought you were being sarcastc. [01:07:08] no sorry [01:07:12] is it the lowercase? [01:07:17] Keep us updated! [01:07:20] is that better [01:07:54] I'll probably just launch the screenshot I shared before. It should be able to reach orbit, and quite cheaply if the recovery systems work. [01:08:10] assuming it doesn't flip [01:08:16] https://i.imgur.com/2AxSsK4.jpg [01:08:24] that's why it has the bigass fins. Ideally. [01:08:25] heh [01:08:42] and yes, I'm cheating by using scaled up mk-16 chutes as booster nosecones. [01:08:46] that... is a lot of mods [01:09:31] heh, the shortcut is named "stockish". [01:10:09] it takes about 5 minutes to load. I don't use mechjeb because it's still fun to maneuver manually [01:10:46] I did set the first stage to light with the boosters, but I'm planning to use it quite lightly [01:11:33] Pakaran: MJ still has its uses [01:11:53] I'm basically using Roverdude mods, FAR, and stage recovery and parts mods. [01:12:03] MJ is great for when you need to do your billionth hohman transfer [01:12:05] such as having multiple tugs doing orbital construction all at the same time [01:12:23] that sounds awesome heh [01:12:24] (I've had up to five running at a time) [01:12:33] ok that's crazy talk [01:12:36] though it would involve learning to dock. [01:12:45] usually i have a fleet of 2 or 3 tugs at a time [01:12:58] Pakaran: learn to dock! it's so rewarding [01:13:13] Pakaran: NavyFish Docking Port Alignment Indicator [01:13:23] ^ [01:14:29] using that, I can dock even behemoths for < 10u monoprop (and a LOT of patience) [01:14:35] thanks [01:14:57] (and have my ports aligned to within 0.1 degrees:) [01:15:05] pfft, monoprop is for the weak. REAL pilots just use the main engines. [01:15:08] I'll get that installing, open my stock game, and do the tutorial. [01:15:19] markovify: I've done that... without SAS [01:15:30] taniwha: we've all been there [01:15:35] (scientist on a ship with no RCS pods) [01:15:42] that's the other issue I was having. heh. I didn't know the controls, so before I used the main engines to bump, and EVA over. [01:15:47] that one time you forget to bring a pilot... [01:15:48] that was... annoying [01:15:56] once i docked with only gimbal for attitude control [01:16:00] that was not fun [01:16:11] thankfully it was a very small craft [01:16:12] markovify: ouch [01:16:28] yeah, just basically a seat + engine + fuel + port [01:16:28] Pakaran: qweasd ijklhn :) [01:16:47] well, that's why I'm going to do the tutorials. [01:17:01] i've never used docking mode to dock before... only for driving rovers [01:17:01] do not use docking mode, it's the abomination [01:17:04] yeah [01:17:12] even for rovers [01:17:20] nah it works fine for rovers [01:17:32] (set your control reference appropriately and turn off all torque sources) [01:17:35] prevents reaction wheels from going crazy [01:17:42] ok fine but i'm lazy [01:18:00] for dedicated rovers, I turn off reaction wheels in the SPH [01:18:10] (planes, too) [01:18:21] all of my 'rovers' have rocket engines [01:18:44] and for multi-mode, there's action groups :) [01:29:58] .nextlaunch [01:29:58] Falcon Heavy | Demo Flight 1 (Maiden Flight) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbSwFU6tY1c - NET February 6, 2018 18:30:00 UTC - T-17:00:01 [01:29:59] YouTube - Falcon Heavy Test Flight [01:31:46] 16 hours 'til and there's already 2244 people streaming [01:42:41] Tutorial is too easy to get into a state where I can't continue it.

I guess the mass ratio of the tanks is pretty high [02:41:46] What is that supposed to be [02:41:51] A new tank design? [02:42:44] yeah [02:43:03] tanks, habs, structural (I've shown those earlier) [02:43:54] http://taniwha.org/~bill/screenshot4184.png [02:46:21] yeah, mass ratio is about 11.5:1 [02:48:03] hmm, small adapters are about 5.4:1 [02:50:19] 5.4:1 up to 12.2:1 [02:50:43] might have the walls a little thin on that part [02:57:36] Oh. I recognize it now [02:59:49] "So what are we launching today?" "A Art - 1 Quantity" [05:29:34] Silly question: I can load a vessel in the VAB that has "locked or invalid parts" -- is there an easy way to see which parts those are? [05:31:36] Not that I'm aware of. Besides just going to the craft file and reading the list of parts [07:48:14] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk338VXcb24 [07:48:15] YouTube - Falcon Heavy Animation [07:48:25] old [07:48:32] at least now it is not unlisted [07:48:40] Whenever I say things like "this is how KSP should look like" my graphics card is screaming in agony [07:48:44] ;P [07:49:07] Althego: When was that originally uploaded then?

Canadian thing [14:48:22] http://www.rolluptherimtowin.com/en/countdown.php [14:48:34] (or http://www.rolluptherimtowin.com/fr/countdown.php for Fluburtur ) [14:54:21] hmm. [14:54:45] looks like with KSS installed, I specifically do not want sigmadimensions? [14:56:17] removing it now (via ckan, which all my non-KSS mods are under) [15:01:11] basically at this point, my "allegedly stockish" game is USI, a couple parts mods, FAR and Deadly Reentry, and now much of KSS. [15:01:49] Once I settle on what I want, I'll back it up and/or take it out of ckan control. [15:02:38] USI, including USI-LS ? [15:03:48] yes, though I may turn it off in future, and I do have drives that are capable of crewed interstellar missions in my far future, if I'm not mistaken. [15:03:59] I may also just exempt veterans. [15:04:09] I'm trying to settle on mods before progressing the real save too far. [15:04:56] I mean, if I really wanted, I could probably use orion and "alkerbierrie" drive to make a colony launchable from the surface of Kerbin. [15:05:22] I made the USI-LS consequences temporary, because it's my first foray into the mod [15:06:01] Yeah, I think that's what I'll stick with. Plus recursive rescue missions are fun! [15:06:44] "Send more potatoes!" [15:06:50] Also, it looks like pilots are immune to habitation. [15:06:59] not completely [15:07:08] ? [15:07:08] but they are easier to satisfy [15:07:22] they get permanent habitation beyond 1 year [15:07:35] the other specialties with 50 years to spare [15:07:49] except scouts - they are like pilots [15:08:09] I guess Pilots are used to small cockpits [15:08:14] they just can't provide SAS? [15:08:39] scouts are some general purpose colonists [15:09:00] But my colonization attempts so far have not been too great [15:09:06] yeah, I was sort of looking at the colony economy [15:09:34] it looks like I'll mostly use machinery and fertilizer from kerbin, at the least [15:10:33] always nice when mods come with new loading screen art :) [15:11:42] With colonization my problems are the various resource requirements of different mods - so K&K / Pathfinder and MKS all want different building resources [15:12:18] ah, I have a lot of parts mods, but don't have other life support mods (though apparently TAC is supported), and don't have Interstellar. [15:12:59] I like the shared resources that Pathfinder introduces [15:13:29] because it allows for smaller bases scattered around with less risk for sudden kraken desintegration [15:14:24] ah, but it just turns into Factorio trying to arrange production of everything? [15:14:56] that is why I have not gone into colony building [15:15:12] somewhere along the lines you get from one game into another [15:15:29] ah, thanks. [15:15:38] and KSP is a great space simulator - but a shitty city builder :) [15:15:46] Heh [15:16:16] EricPoehlsen: Ahem, please mind the language in this channel.

[15:26:36] heh outpost [15:26:44] that was in an other, more civilized time [15:30:49] I dreamed of remaking that game [15:31:07] Just to add visuals for the ressources trucks [15:33:26] Sadly, I'm just not good enough as a developper [15:36:08] yeah it would be fun doing something in that regards [15:37:13] But the most important thing if you do game development on your own is: are you ready to code Pong - or do you dare to progress to Tetris [15:38:04] trying to do a Triple-A Project as one man show will definitly lead into despair and crumbled dreams :) [15:38:50] of course there are some exceptional one-man / small-team projects - but they are rare [15:44:43] uh I have no pitcure of the non inevrting mirror at the cit� des sciences [15:50:24] wait, did the japanese succeed with the smallest orbital rocket? [15:50:34] https://youtu.be/Dvb3tbmIF1w [15:50:35] YouTube - Last Minute Updates on Falcon Heavy & BFR - February 6th [15:50:44] they did make ungided ones [15:50:55] dunno how they compare to the electron [15:57:43] doesnt matter how many times he says it, i am not going to fly a safe [15:58:29] Aww, no dragon 2. [15:58:41] but it was almost finished [15:58:45] I know [15:58:58] But human rating a falcon heavy would be expensive. [15:59:03] also the bfr is probably not for iss [15:59:11] so there would be some need for a smaller capsule [15:59:59] You could just bring the entire rest of the ISS's lifespan of supplies in one trip. [16:00:15] not really [16:00:26] for example food cant be stored indefinitely [16:00:30] Oh, right. [16:00:34] also some live animals [16:00:40] stuff like that [16:02:41] The Japanese used a modified sounding rocket to put a cubesat into space (If I remember correctly) [16:08:21] Fluburtur: oh, the youtubers, always need to make a video about things. :D [16:09:03] yeah [16:09:12] but scott videos are always nice [16:09:44] "Hey everyone! YoutuberX here! Just made this video to say hi! Don't forget to click Subscribe and hit that tumbs up button. Peace out!" [16:11:37] Is human rating hard? [16:12:15] not according to Sturgeon's Law [16:12:25] probably long and tedious [16:13:46] Do you think the whole car thing was a joke or serious at the start? [16:16:43] I think he said he wanted to put the most ridicoulous thing he could think of for the test flight [16:17:44] I wonder what that car will look like in a few years [16:17:56] It's silly but it needs solar panels if it's going to be jamming forever. [16:18:30] May want a bolt on RCS or some other method of stabalizing due to it tumbling not looking cool enough. [16:18:55] Flywheel? [16:19:04] Has it's own issues but may work. [16:19:31] I was thinking cold gas thrusters hidden pretty well with tiny discrete ports poking out of the wheel wells and body panels. [16:19:42] You want this to look good. [16:20:16] You could use the wheels as 'flywheels' [16:20:43] But they would have to spin forever and not vaccum weld when the lube vaporized or froze. [16:21:46] I wanted the car to have a bubblehead of jeb on the dashboard, but my sources assured me that the dashboard has a KSP reference of some sort... [16:21:57] ... I have my doubts about thoses sources [16:22:03] Jeb bobblehead would be rad. [16:22:15] I hope they have a gopro in the helmet. [16:24:10] a car is big enough to be its own flywheel. just as most probes spin [16:24:32] eh, there's a tweet going around that tells people to unfriend poor friends to increase their rating... [16:24:43] https://twitter.com/tijmenschep/status/960566672187904000 [16:24:43] TIP: Unfriend your poor friends on Facebook, it will help you get better interest rates on your loans. This tool ca& https://t.co/s0mg8FEajW [16:24:59] that s already a system in china [16:25:07] for loans and such [16:26:09] @TheKosmonaut ^ is this normal? [16:26:33] i doubt 1 person can define norma [16:26:34] l [16:26:41] ? [16:26:47] at least staistical normal [16:27:14] APlayer: is what normal? [16:27:26] The NextLaunchBackup quitting then coming back? [16:27:29] It's probably fine [16:27:31] Yes [16:27:40] hehe [16:27:43] has it been doing it a lot? [16:27:51] why is it backup at all [16:27:56] must be getting attacked by ULA bees [16:28:02] Well, is it normal if it quits and does /not/ come back? :P [16:28:04] Althego: Because the original person went awol [16:28:14] Hm [16:28:46] APlayer: Dunno.. he's working on it I think. [16:28:50] Probably overloaded by people trying to find out when FH launches :P [16:28:52] Imma sleep a little before the FH launch. [16:29:01] just a couple hours left [16:29:12] Sure, good idea. Anything we can do to wake you up in case you are missing it? [16:29:18] Like, wildly ping you? :P [16:31:14] Couple hours, like... 2? [16:31:26] Unless the 1830 UTC was a blatant lie [16:34:12] 18:30 UTC, the time stands, to my knowledge [16:35:02] Elon just assured that everything is still on time [16:35:14] https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/960910705808609280 [16:35:14] All systems remain go for todays test flight of Falcon Heavy. Weather is 90% favorable for todays two-and-a-half& https://t.co/RLAu8JYQKI [16:36:43] 77,615 waiting [16:36:45] :D [16:36:55] And counting! [16:37:12] What was the biggest event youtube ever streamed? [16:37:34]
