sigh.. I keep meaning to work on a mission, but.... distractions, mood isn't quite there like it used to be. :(
<Mat2ch>
Maybe I should give up on this game. I can't undock the miner...
<Mat2ch>
I click undock and nothing happens.
<Mat2ch>
Nice.

"I’m kind of shocked at the number of KSP players that embark on epic journeys without doing basic mission planning" - uh, well, every time I think about maybe creating a spreadsheet or using Matlab-Tools, I say to myself "that's getting in too deep"

some rough dV and launch window calculations are ok
<hatrix>
I draw on my whiteboard and that's usually enough
<hatrix>
some checklists

where's the fun?
<hatrix>
the fun is in the calculations
ve2dmn has joined #KSPOfficial
<darsie>
I calculate by adding dvs.
<darsie>
Launch window is by trial and error iteration.
Althego has joined #KSPOfficial
<darsie>
Recently I didn't fine tune the launch date and used a bit more dv instead.
<packbart>
so it happens more often than I thought :)
<Althego>
the hitting a deer during takeoff is better

another Boeing problem
<hatrix>
anyone experiencing problems with drag on fairings?
<hatrix>
I tend to remove fairings because it creates too much drag and the rocket tips over

<JVFoxy>
oof... fun times trying to relearn OBS.. >.<
<JVFoxy>
doing a test run for some KSP stuff... trying to push myself to finally do some recording
<packbart>
hatrix: don
<packbart>
err
<packbart>
hatrix: don't make the fairing the root part
<packbart>
it will have unshielded drag
<packbart>
otherwise they work fine for me. creating a bit much lift at the top of the rocket, sometimes

Ezriilc_ is now known as Ezriilc
<hatrix>
oh packbart
<hatrix>
that might be why
<hatrix>
It's usually the top of the booster, so I put the fairing as the root part to move the rocket around

how do you name your crafts? I always end up with like 5 "Duna Orbital Station" around Duna or else
<hatrix>
I started doing something like "5P Orbital station + relay" but there must be a better way to describe crafts
<UmbralRaptop>
Theme names?
<hatrix>
do you have an example?
<UmbralRaptop>
eg: Nergal, Ares, etc for Duna missions
Copper has joined #KSPOfficial
<UmbralRaptop>
Or, like, xl
<UmbralRaptop>
er
<hatrix>
that's a good idea
<packbart>
probes have boring names. KerbRelay, DunaRelay, DMOSat A. stations might have fancier names. I built Vertigo Station, Spiro Station and Minmus Hub
<hatrix>
I'd need to keep tracks of capabilities of those missions though
<packbart>
Spiro had a lot of toroidal tanks
<UmbralRaptop>
unfortunately, stock KSP doesn't have any tanks named E2
<UmbralRaptop>
er, wait. wrong channel for that sort of joke
