rugged wheels are faster, too.

Kerbal Foundries wheels work :-)

<packbart>
yeah, but they use a custom WheelBase which isn't recognized by MechJeb, so the rover autopilot doesn't see them as having ground contact
<packbart>
I have an idea how to make them/MJ compatible but was too lazy, yet, to try it. I rarely use the Foundry things
<Pinkbeast>
I was thinking about doing the same thing but the current Elcano rules forbid any kind of autopilot

bon voyage works well, and no explosion risk since it only operates when it's out of physics range
<SporkWitch>
does apply a speed penalty, but that's a minor inconvenience
<FLHerne>
hm, I should probably install that
<FLHerne>
whenever I have a computer that can run KSP again, anyway
<FLHerne>
tbh I kind of hate KSP terrain in general
<Althego>
kikkerikii
<Althego>
and a rocket is reentering right now
<Althego>
seems to be falling into the pacific
<SporkWitch>
controlled fall or something-went-wrong fall? O.o
<Althego>
went fine, but uncontrolled
<Althego>
the lon march 5b that launched the new station module
<Althego>
every time a module is launched the first stage stay in orbit
<SporkWitch>
oh, them
<SporkWitch>
people aren't taking those launches seriously enough, you can bet your but it's not science missions
<SporkWitch>
FLHerne: understandable. doesn't help that the physics are a bit wonky so brakes don't work right and you slide around when stationary lol. SOOOOO glad they added that terrain anchor feature
<FLHerne>
the sliding is annoying, but it's also just really boring
<FLHerne>
the new textures don't stop the surface being incredibly smooth, with basically identical undulations on every planet
<FLHerne>
and the scatter objects become unconvincing after driving through a few :p
<FLHerne>
although I admit that crashing into them would be annoying too
<packbart>
well, there are mod options, too. ISTR one that adds colliders to the scatter objects. and then there's Parallax which adds a whole different way of textures (but is mainly made for stock planets)
<packbart>
I want fishies in the oceans :)
<Pinkbeast>
Parallax looks nice but rather decreases the correspondence between actual terrain height and visual appearance
<SporkWitch>
i just added parallax the other day, definitely improves the visuals
<SporkWitch>
i don't find the disparity an issue, since there's little correlation between stock visuals and how your vehicle behaves, either lol
<Pinkbeast>
FLHerne: You don't hate KSP terrain. You feel mild dislike. When you have roved around Eve on a polar route, then you will hate KSP terrain. :-)
<FLHerne>
Pinkbeast: fair
<Althego>
hehe the mun polar regions are also annoying
<SporkWitch>
aren't all the poles pretty bad, something about the coordinate system they used?
<Althego>
yes
<SporkWitch>
that's how we got moho's mohole
<Althego>
which is now an actual feature
<SporkWitch>
granted, but it started as a bug :P
<Althego>
bug or feature, it is relative
<SporkWitch>
much like skiing in StarSiege Tribes. Exploitable bug in the first game, but it enhanced the gameplay and was universally loved by players they made sure it still worked in Tribes 2, made it easier to pull off, and even made it part of the (pretty minimal, making it even more noteworthy) tutorial
<SporkWitch>
i'm watching a movie on amazon that's supposed to be based in the cthulhu mythos and it is insultingly bad :'(
<SporkWitch>
ican't stop watching though, have to see how it ends lol

yeah, the spacetime rift at the Mun's poles are weird. An expedition fell through and went poof

<Althego>
i never played it

Uh, nope, he can keep that trampoline.

You invent another clever name that #KSPOfficial should be renamed to. Your efforts are misdirected and fail to address the underlying problem. Everything explodes.
