[00:17:18] darsie ooooh... those the ones which can only dock in a specific rotation as an option? [00:19:33] yes [00:19:44] There are different versions. [00:20:19] know there is one of those config file mod things you could do for stock that adds specific rotation locking on ports. [00:21:00] I was after less massive ports, for tiny probes. [00:21:31] heh.. micro sats wee [00:23:09] I was able to fit two sat/probes into the larger of the two round service bays for a mission. It was pretty cramped though and had to ... cheat a little with the stock jr docking port for it to work. (read, they were a little 'floaty) [00:37:12] the stock docking ports have an unused "angle-snapping" feature. https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/139980-- [00:37:17] never tried it, yet [00:44:34] ya, module manager, couldn't remember the name of the mod that you used to set it with... gaming PC currently parts :( [01:24:33] Action: darsie added picoports to his fuel ship and docked: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot2.png http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot1.png [01:57:14] Action: darsie scienced data from the surface of the Mun.

They're really going for it [08:42:38] coming up soon* [09:04:29] Judge_Dedd: soon the sky will just be solid star link [09:04:49] Inb4 the Musk makes the Dyson Sphere but around earth [09:05:17] I'm trying to think of an advantage of having a Dyson sphere around a planet :) [09:06:05] I suppose it would allow SpaceX to control any and all interplanetary travel, preventing future attacks on Mars ;) [09:06:50] hehe [09:07:27] I strongly recommend reading the book "Spin" by Robert Wilson [09:07:32] if you're into space and spheres stuff [09:07:53] Thanks for the tip [09:08:49] TheKosmonaut, or maybe the "link" in the name is a clue that Musk can command all the satellites to link together into one massive craft, which he will use to take over the galaxy. [09:12:55] Galaxies are not doing SpaceX is doing [09:13:48] Action: Judge_Dedd wonders if anyone here still gets that reference [09:15:07] you lost me [09:16:17] hatrix, there used to be a network of spambots advocating a certain religion that used similar phraseology. [09:16:49] Every now and then, one would pop in here and start spamming. It became something of a meme [09:17:39] It would always start with: [Deity] is doing [09:18:09] Then it would go through a bunch of other lines, like "Galaxies are not doing [deity] is doing" etc. [09:18:50] I'm even more confused now [09:19:09] That's what made it funny - it confused everyone [09:21:21] Judge_Dedd: musk just doesn’t want the planet to see when his Martian fleet arrives [09:22:11] TheKosmonaut, ah, that must be it. That must be the real reason he's testing albedo-reducing (read: stealth) technology. [09:26:05] Muskbot 9000 will teach us all [09:35:13] Judge_Dedd: I have to repeat myself. It only sounds funny in your head ;) [09:38:36] Some would dispute the fact that I have a head, Mat2ch [09:40:16] ooh, 1.9. time to update [09:40:36] ah, the groaning of a thousand Kopernicus users [09:41:21] Judge_Dedd: I'd like to meet those people. [09:45:56] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLWuHo63C8k they will mount guns on those. [09:52:15] Tat's pretty cool. But then... a forklift is a bit like that, no? ;) [09:52:41] yes and no [09:53:16] look at the suitcase example. You can't transport them with a forklift [09:53:28] although standardized suitcases would be neat [09:53:41] True [09:53:49] ISO standard suitcase? [09:53:58] I can see that being used instead of some cranes where I work [09:54:23] another application could be heavy windows [09:54:34] Forklifts are seriously cool though. Once you dive them for a while, it actually starts to feel like an exoskeleton, and the forks feel like extensions to your own arms [09:55:24] It's a pit that Staplerfahrer Klaus is against the rules here. ;) [09:55:28] (If you have the right kind of forklift, of course) [10:16:55] the workplace "safety" video?

[13:23:51] Judge_Dedd: jep [13:24:08] and it did land hard. But it looks like it's built to manage this [13:24:15] Cruch core? [13:24:28] I never saw Elon or SpaceX mention it [13:24:59] Those big rods are shock absorbers, like in a car [13:25:25] and they probably caught it. Maybe something inside needs replacement, but they folded in just fine [13:26:25] Nice [13:57:32] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Mostly_Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [14:09:52] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:13:44] Last message repeated 1 time(s).

[19:17:54] i take it it's a bad time to look at getting back into the game, for mod compatibility reasons? [19:19:53] idk. Allegedly RO/RP1/RSS are compatible with 1.7.3, but it's too buggy for me. [19:20:50] Joints move on parts when I rearrange them, so I have to dump the part and reattache everything that was attached to it. Sucks. [19:21:18] dunno what you're talking about [19:45:24] the list of mods compatible with 1.9 looks about as what i expected [20:25:10] Eddi|zuHause, few underlying changes in 1.9 that would affect mods. I bet 1.8 mods will work fine [20:56:06] Judge_Dedd: but i can't update the ones i have from 1.7 era [20:56:56] when i last played [21:10:05] Oh, if you have mods from 1.7, they certainly likely to have problems in the latest version (unless they're just parts mods) because there was a Unity upgrade in 1.8 [21:10:54] That's why Kopernicus wasn't released for 1.8 until just recently [23:39:12] The main sail and the twin board seem to have their joint a bit off center: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot7.png [23:39:31] Torque 0.02 kNm [23:39:52] oh no [23:40:18] That might be why my orbit tilts at ascend. [23:40:48] After staging it's stable, IIRC. [23:41:05] twin boar* [23:41:53] I could try and rotate the engine. [23:51:22] but write also a bug report
