rescuing a kerbal off of minmus is proving far harder than it should be
<transhohmann>
I am sitting next to the stranded kerbal, but since he's a contract kerbal I have no idea how to pick him up
<transhohmann>
I've gotten in and out of the vessel and there is no evident way to interact with the contract kerbal
<transhohmann>
I found UmbralRaptor on a ksp reddit postlol

he is under the front wheel of my cockpit'

so switch to him

(square brakcet)

how./

the best i have done is set him as target

I can't make an SSTO without rapiers for crap
<Althego>
you can with turbojets
<Althego>
you lose possibblt 100-200 m/s max speed on them
<Althego>
butthey take of way easier
<transhohmann>
I can't get above 18km to get the readings for that contract still, either
<transhohmann>
and so far all attempts with suborbital rockets have been thwarted by my high altitude
<Althego>
those are annoying early careeer contracts
<Althego>
you can only do them with the panthers
<transhohmann>
my best jet engine is a wheesley
<transhohmann>
that's obnoxious
<Althego>
or alternatively fly a plane with a rocket there on slower jets and use the rocket to hop up
<transhohmann>
also have been trying that
<Althego>
i you do it right you can have maybe 4 jumps before the fuel runs out
<Althego>
but it is easier to way for the pantehr
<transhohmann>
Also, geostationary orbit over hte cannery?
<Althego>
contracts specify the orbit. so you just need to reach it when you are above the target
<Althego>
and you dont even need to be exactly above
<Althego>
so possible to eyeball it
<transhohmann>
oh nice
<transhohmann>
it says specific meters
<Althego>
but normally they also show the orbit you need to reach
<transhohmann>
how do I collect the seismic data on the mun, I have tried 3 times and gotten data but apparently not the right data?
<Althego>
and that specific altitude should be the keostationary altitude anyway
<Althego>
seizmic with the yellow small cylinder? that needs to be at the points the mission specifies. you get a notification when you enter the zone of a waypoint
<Althego>
there is an other instrument
<Althego>
possibly in dlc
<transhohmann>
it doesn't ask for a location
<Althego>
that you can install anywhere, then bombard the mun wiht things, and it collects seizmic data
<Althego>
the closer to the install location and faster, the better
<transhohmann>
I have the cylinder and it wants bombaardment
<transhohmann>
what things
<Althego>
that is not the correct insturment. you need to install a deployable instrument
<Althego>
i usually use burned out stages or similar
<transhohmann>
I lonly have one deployable intrument and it is the magnetometer
<Althego>
there are others, maybe you havent enabled them yet
<Althego>
so for t he deployable science, you need to install a control station, power, possibly solar panels early on, then install the instrument. and panels like to be installed by engineers, while science instruments by scientists
<Althego>
you get bonuses for the correct job
<Althego>
on the mun the solar panels are kind of annoying because of the long night

how does one deal with eve
<transhohmann>
just a flyby with a probe
<SporkWitch>
don't try to aerobrake, that atmosphere is stupid thick
<Althego>
you can, with the absolutely op inflatable heat shield
<Althego>
otherwise that astmosphere is quite deadly in multiple ways
<SporkWitch>
... my rescue mission spawned the kerbal in a module with no hatch... lol
<Althego>
lol
<Althego>
what kind of module is that?
<Althego>
a mod?
<SporkWitch>
one of the MKS modules
<SporkWitch>
yeah
<SporkWitch>
apparently the Tundra Multihub has a single crew slot, but it has no hatch unless you attach one lol
<Althego>
then just take the module home
<SporkWitch>
mildly annoying since it means i can't get the EVA and flag planting XP while i'm here, but not a huge deal since it's a pilot anyway, and i don't really need pilots right now.
<SporkWitch>
no way to with the rescue craft, but yeah, i'm just going to teleport it to the kerbin surface
<SporkWitch>
for all intents and purposes i already completed the mission, since i made rendesvous and have plenty of dV left to land and then return to kerbin
<transhohmann>
will antennae work when attached to girders
<SporkWitch>
and this will give me enough science for some new nuclear engines, including a nuclear equivalent of the rapier; no fuel consumption in stmosphere (and it doesn't care what the atmosphere is), and then can toggle it to various liquid fuels once the air's too thin
<transhohmann>
nice
<SporkWitch>
transhohmann: yes, antennae only care that they're not stowed (inside a closed cargo bay or a fairing) and are deployed
<SporkWitch>
fixed antennae will work even when in a fairing, since they don't need to deploy
<darsie>
I deployed a Communotron-16 in a fairing in the VAB.
<SporkWitch>
i think the 16 is physicsless so it doesn't count; the ones that are affected by physics stop you when inside a fairing, at least when i've tried
<darsie>
It pierced the reflector of the Resource Survey Scanner when it deployed.
<SporkWitch>
clipping is still allowed to occur unless you have same vessel interaction enabled, but most deployable stuff will give an error message if you try to deploy it while stowed

my wings burned up on the way to orbit :'(

there was some movie, maybe in the 80s, when some passenger space plane was stuck in orbit, and they moved some guy out in a coffin. also an other plane was flying in front of it to act as a heat shield when landing. anybody remember this?

<Mat2ch>
Oh, how I wish that there will be a part-builder mode in KSP, where you can design your own parts and maybe even share it. Like having a huge database of parts from other people. With votes and such things
<Mat2ch>
Or being able to tweak every aspect of an engine. (with the problem that they can just explode if you turn the chamber pressure up too high)
<SporkWitch>
that could be fun heh
<Mat2ch>
oh yes
<Mat2ch>
I had an idea for KSP2 where you get a fully programmable controller. And you can take programming lessons in game where you learn how to program the controller, but also how to calculate orbits, transfers, etc.
<Mat2ch>
and then you can use those small programs to create whole flight plans
<Mat2ch>
launching, gravity turn, orbit insertion, transfer burns, etc.
<Izaya>
kOS as a stock feature?
<Mat2ch>
maybe even barge landing
<Mat2ch>
yes, but please not kOS itself. The programming style is horrible...
trace has joined #KSPOfficial
<Izaya>
yeah the kOS programming language pains me
<Izaya>
it's a stack machine though so I ALMOST want to write a forth for it
<Mat2ch>
well, you can use external scripts... but a programmable computer integrated into KSP would make things so much easier

i wish the ventral cargo bay had a variant that lowered the floor to the ground. I can make one using pistons, but it doesn't look good since you can't properly attach multiple pistons to the single panel piece

See, that's what I mean by parts builder... You could go in there, build it and use it right away. :D
