I don't normally do big spaceships. Was mostly messing around with things, ideas. Sort of took some inspiration from Valiant spaceship in the Jovian Chronicles RPG setting... https://imgur.com/a/vtybuiA

hehehe. existential question of the day. if a transformer dies, can you use the corpse as a regular car?
<packbart>
don't they usually explode when they die?
<Althego>
i dont think so
<raptop>
Depends on the form
<raptop>
Also, they need to be autobots
<Althego>
yes, i thought about that too, as i heard it, they must be autobots obviously
<Althego>
and good point, you cant drive around the dead humanoid form
<Althego>
hey what happened to the starlink 7 launch?
<Althego>
went back to the unknown date pool
<JVFoxy>
Althego I tend to think the transformer would stop to work either form. My thinking is while its powered, it uses some tech to help complete the illusion.

giddy. I just ordered my first "gaming" computer (and the first desktop computer I bought in decades). Ryzen R5 and a RTX 2080 "super", 27" 2560x1440 display
<packbart>
I'm currently saving a lot on travel costs. would be a shame not to spend it
<packbart>
the pro said: buy the best affordable GPU. they become middle-class soon enough while the prices don't drop much. CPUs don't make such great advances performance-wise between models and older variants get cheaper fast
<Mat2ch>
got enough ram, too? And a fast nvme ssd? :)
<packbart>
yeah. 32GB RAM, 8GB VRAM, 480GB SSD, 1TB HD
<packbart>
I meant to buy a gaming laptop - but there I'd either accept a no-so-new GPU or pay way more than I allocated
<JVFoxy>
lol.. what have I done...
<JVFoxy>
ugh.. night time in game. wanna take a screen shot of some silliness
<JVFoxy>
flying ... 'pod' that seats 6...
<Mat2ch>
packbart: good choice.
<Mat2ch>
now you need a monitor with variable refresh rate for the full experience :D
<packbart>
yeah. the Acer thing I ordered doesn't have NVidias G-sync and it's "just" 75Hz
<packbart>
we'll see. the pro-gamer I asked said that I probably wouldn't notice it in KSP ;)
<packbart>
they just don't know how I play KSP

<Mat2ch>
you wouldn't notice the 2080 in KSP either. But maybe in KSP2 :)
<packbart>
my current Quadro FX 1800M laptop GPU is about 10 years old and couldn't fully support game graphics even then. good for design work, though
<packbart>
KSP 2 promised more brilliant explosions. I got that covered now, I hope :)
<packbart>
already the doubts set in. I don't buy computers very often and got no real clue. did I buy the right display? I was going for 24" 1920x1080 at first but then realized it would be an insult to the GPU. I did want LED-IPS instead of LED-TN but am not quite sure, why
<packbart>
the 2080 Ti was still much too expensive, so I hope the "super" variant will serve me the next 10+ years or so. I wanted to try AMD Ryzen this time, even though it costs more than Intel. so it's "just" a R5, no R7 or even R9
<packbart>
anyway, the bill is paid. now I wait. 3 to 10 days, they said
<Flayer>
gone forever, gone forever
<Althego>
virgin galactic... 15 years ago they were great. then messed up and they are still nothing. at that time i thought nothing of spacex. now spacex is king and nobody else is even close to them
<packbart>
it's the Flat Musk conspiracy at work
<XXCoder>
flip musk
<Mat2ch>
Althego: well, they will provide some people with some space experience for less than SpaceX
<Althego>
they just never get there
<Mat2ch>
oh, I guess they will fly passengers soon
<Althego>
they stood still while time was moving
<Mat2ch>
yeah, sadly
<Althego>
this should have happened at least 5 years ago
<Mat2ch>
Richard Branson is not that lucky when it comes to airlines and space
<Mat2ch>
I have an idea for a real rocket for him, though. But I don't know if he'd listen
<Althego>
out of the 3 rich guys one must give us cheap access to space
<Mat2ch>
Althego: the style is different because there's nobody you have to explain the failures to
<Mat2ch>
and that works well
<Althego>
not much to explain
<Mat2ch>
if people aren't in fear that mistakes will cost them their jobs or reputation, then they will work differently
<Mat2ch>
ah, you are right
<packbart>
Mat2ch: about 4k€ at my preferred dealer. not bad :)
<Mat2ch>
preaching to the choir :)
<Mat2ch>
packbart: 4k is expensive. I can live on 4k for month...
<packbart>
yeah, way beyond what I was willing to spend. but less than I expected
<packbart>
ok, it's the "plain" 2080. neither super nor Ti
<packbart>
something about shader core numbers, iirc
<Mat2ch>
that would burn through your desk :D
<packbart>
moar is probably better
<Mat2ch>
the more, the better!
<Mat2ch>
the shader core thingies do shader calculations in parallel, so more means more calculations possible means more fps
<Althego>
nvidia rtx is a gimmick
<packbart>
and some tensor cores on the non-gaming variants (I looked at the P4000, I think)
<Althego>
if we get real raytracing from somehwere, it is going to be amd. why? because the consoles are going to have it
Kabouik has joined #KSPOfficial
<Althego>
just as consoles are going to push eight thread games
<packbart>
well, I switched from Intel CPU to AMD with this one. give me some time. NVidia is the only name I know ;)
<Althego>
which is bad for intel, but who cares
<packbart>
I remember some pains with AMD GPUs and Linux. but that's old lore
<Althego>
strange i always remember nvidia driver issues on linux :)
<Althego>
ok, amd wa sprobably somewhat worse
<Althego>
this box gets to be 5 years old now. still decent, not great though. i thought i would buy the next one next year, because of 5 nm and new socket. but then it turned out we get pcie5 and ddr5 in 2022
<Althego>
damn, 7 years is really stretching it
<Mat2ch>
my old one was also 7 years old. I'm happy it lasted that long, but also happy I could afford a new one.
<Mat2ch>
Well, this year I wont be able to make any investments in such things. I might have to register as unemployed next month :/
<Althego>
eh
<packbart>
and that's why I'm spending the money now while I still have it. it's not looking too bleak right now but we're just a small business
<Mat2ch>
yeah, I'm waiting for call to know if I can keep my business at the side and still get some support. But this year is weird.
<packbart>
it's a bug in the Matrix. it can't handle years with repeating numbers like 2020 or 1919. probably some low-level byte-order glitch
* packbart
tries to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow
<Flayer>
i'm good for two months at least, that's more security than I've had in a long time tbh
<Mat2ch>
well, I was good for a few month, but they are over now ;)

hehe, 139.975t rocket to launch enough fuel for at least 4 mun landings
<Flayer>
don't have to upgrade the launch platform just yet!
<Mat2ch>
and after the 4 mun landings you will have enough money to do so I guess...
<Flayer>
i'm trying to upgrade the tech thing

Hey guys, my x-science isn't working. I've been away from the game for a long time. Did something happen that I'm not aware of? (I hope it's ok to ask mod questions here)
<Flayer>
Yes.
Flayer has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<Dutchy45>
Okay :) Can you explain? Yes to x-science Q or mod Q?
Flayer has joined #KSPOfficial
<Dutchy45>
And if x-science, is there a way to fix it?
<Mat2ch>
did you update the game recently?
<Mat2ch>
Then you might need a new version of x-science
<Mat2ch>
also it is possible that it's no longer supported. Best advice is to take a look at the forum thread of the mod
<Dutchy45>
Ok, thanks Mat2ch. I'll have a look there
<Dutchy45>
I looked. Is it now a mod you have to pay for? The message I got is that I've gotta buy a winrar license
<Mat2ch>
Dutchy45: click either link above and you should get a working version of it

I personally think ScienceAlert is better, but that's just a matter of taste
<packbart>
joys of a shared namespace. "ScienceAlert ReAlerted". I see. I mainly used the mod so I don't have to click on every single goo container in the early flights
<packbart>
I like Kerbalism's way where science experiment take (a long) time to run but can be automated and left to themselves
