hi

Hello, shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu
00:15
<
Mod9000 >
Hello, flayer
00:15
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
I've just started off
00:15
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
trying to do an SSTO
00:15
<
flayer >
a spaceplane SSTO?
00:15
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
can't seem to get out of the atmosphere, yet I've got hella delta V
00:15
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
yuppers
00:16
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
I cap at 380-odd meters per second
00:16
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
then pitch down unavoidably
00:16
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
unsure if it's the craft or my piloting\
00:17
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
I did alt-f12 to place myself in orbit to see if it would land safely and it glides like a dream
00:17
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
but I feel as if I'm throwing myself against a wall
00:18
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
or rather, kerbals against the ocean
00:18
<
flayer >
its probably a matter of speed/intake/thrust/weight
00:18
<
flayer >
if you're too heavy, you can't get up to speed to get a proper amount of intake/thrust for your jet engines to function properly
00:19
<
raptop >
Yeah, at least some engines lose thrust at mach 1, and drag does peak around there.
00:19
<
raptop >
I know some craft/players have a portion where the ascent includes a dive to get above it
00:19
<
flayer >
what's helped me solve this is reducing the amount of fuel
00:19
<
raptop >
Yeah, aircraft are weird in how sometimes less is more (because of drag)
00:19
<
flayer >
sometimes i do that, sometimes i fire my orbital thrusters for a bit of a boost
00:20
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
1 nerv and 2 rapiers
00:20
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
I tried nosing down
00:20
<
flayer >
switch the rapiers to closed cycle for a bit
00:20
<
flayer >
to test things out
00:20
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
certainly
00:21
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
that's how I got to 380ms
00:21
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
2o degrees got me to 30km
00:21
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
20*
00:21
<
flayer >
then you're just too heavy, i reckon
00:21
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
twr is 1.67
00:21
<
flayer >
numbers mean nothing to me
00:22
<
flayer >
i do everything by feel
00:22
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
fair nuff
00:23
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
should I give up on making it a mining rig
00:25
<
flayer >
i can't imagine 2 rapiers being capable of bringing a mining rig and nerv into orbit
00:25
<
flayer >
but i have almost no experience with rapiers
00:31
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
mini rig but yeah maybe underpowered
00:31
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
unsure what else to use
00:31
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
attempting to figure out screenshotting
00:32
<
flayer >
replace the nerv with another rapier and see what happens
00:35

shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu: orange tank + skipper can get you something like 4 tonnes to LKO. (IIRC, an orange tank is a bit too much propellant for the engine, but eh)

leaps to 95m/s then does a power slide

then you can scale back down or add more weight!
01:42

shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
maybe I'm stupid but
01:42
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
WHERE DO I ADD MORE WEIGHT OMG
01:42
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
without increasing drag overmuch
01:42

The wiki says: "Rocket engines using liquid fuel and oxidizer, use a volumetric mixture of 9 units of liquid fuel per 11 units of oxidizer."
20:00
<
raptop >
Yeah, all of the stock ones do that. I think shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu is also using jet engines at some points so wants additional lf
20:01
<
packbart >
yeah, the page says "Jet engines use intake air in a volumetric mixture of 1 unit of liquid fuel per 15 units of intake air."
20:01
<
packbart >
and it gets more complicated if you run nukes at the same time
20:01
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
I did as you suggested and switched to a rapier
20:01
<
shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
which is why oxidiser became a problm
20:02

shoveakerbalinahatchthroughatu >
I had originally chosen a NERV for the efficiency and lack of high ox drain

the nuke is really heavy, so it is only efficient for low twr long burns
