Hey
<DrPhoenix>
anyone online?
<Althego>
maybe
<DrPhoenix>
Oh hi your an operator that’s cool
<DrPhoenix>
i would like to ask
<DrPhoenix>
about docking
<DrPhoenix>
Which size of dock is the shielded docking port
<Althego>
that is the medium
<Althego>
you can open it in the editor too
<DrPhoenix>
Oh I’m only a month into a game so would that be Junior senior or regular type?
<Althego>
the regular
<Althego>
the junior is the small one, the senior is the big one
<DrPhoenix>
Ok thanks I’m just thinking as soon I will build a mun station
<Althego>
it has another usage though. very high heat tolerance, so on the nose it can protect you from high speeds
<DrPhoenix>
Ok thanks but I have a question what does it mean to be operator?
<Althego>
you can kick out and ban people ifthey misbehave
<DrPhoenix>
oh cool but you get chosen to be op? I’m new so I don’t know
<Althego>
ops can give ops to others
<DrPhoenix>
Ok makes sense

You debate the feasibility of the Alcubierre Drive. You disappear in a puff of illogic.

<DrPhoenix_>
Hey Althego I have a question I’m going to build a mun station what could be a useful thing to add on to it
<DrPhoenix_>
Like some thing that could be really useful
<Althego>
i usually go for the direct approach in case of mun, no stations
<FLHerne>
> What's going on -- people repeatedly flailing at the bot, apparently
<FLHerne>
Science lab?
<FLHerne>
I tend to attach a survey scanner because they look nice and are something to do, although they're probably more effective as standalone satellites
<DrPhoenix_>
Well Danny2462 has a mun station and I thought why not?
<FLHerne>
fuel tanks for refilling landers from
<DrPhoenix_>
ok
<FLHerne>
lots of docking ports :p
<DrPhoenix_>
That seems useful I could use it as a relay for ships
<DrPhoenix_>
thanks
<Althego>
but danny can destroy the planets
<Althego>
so you thought, why not?
<DrPhoenix_>
Yes
<FLHerne>
I tend to add one of those big Mk3 crew cabins and use it as a dumping ground for excess tourists
<FLHerne>
but that's not useful, just funny
<Althego>
i would put a science lab there
<FLHerne>
Yeah, science lab is the #1 actually useful thing
<DrPhoenix_>
I have loads of science labs in my kerbin station which are really helpful and I earn loads of science so that’s a good idead
<DrPhoenix_>
so ive Already got a probe with a survey scanner which connects to a rover which maps out mun
<Althego>
yes, but they should give you more around the mun
<DrPhoenix_>
yes I’ll make it big so one part can be refuel and relay for ships and other can be science/ living/monitoring mun
<funkenstein>
seismic scanner
<funkenstein>
mpl
<DrPhoenix_>
Thanks guys I’m gonna go start on it ugh docking is gonna suck

docking is horrible
<DrPhoenix_>
This mun station may take a while…
<Deddly>
What part of docking do you find difficult?
<DrPhoenix_>
I line up I move towards it then it refuses to dock
<FLHerne>
You can turn up the capture force a bit
<FLHerne>
is the angle right?
<DrPhoenix_>
Hello Eddi|zuHause2
<DrPhoenix_>
yes
<DrPhoenix_>
im pretty sure
<FLHerne>
I mean, ports parallel and not like \|
<DrPhoenix_>
yep the angle is good
<Althego>
is this the shielded docking port?
<FLHerne>
hm
<Deddly>
Can you take some screenshots when you are almost docked?
<DrPhoenix_>
No I’ve decided to put that on later
<DrPhoenix_>
Deddly I’m on ps5
<Deddly>
Can't you take screenshots on the console version?
<DrPhoenix_>
Yep but I’m on a different device
<DrPhoenix_>
ill see what I can do
<Deddly>
Do the docking ports actually touch, and are they completely lined up straight?
<DrPhoenix_>
ive got 2 docked now I think docking is gonna harder later
rubdos has quit [Ping timeout: 186 seconds]
<DrPhoenix_>
yes I think so at least
<Althego>
when they get close you should feel some pulling
<Althego>
if it is not happening maybe they are stuck in the wrong state
<DrPhoenix_>
They are docked now it just took forever
<DrPhoenix_>
It doesn’t matter
<Deddly>
Are you docking large craft together?
<DrPhoenix_>
No I’m making a mun station
<Deddly>
Yes but are the sections big?
<Deddly>
Big and heavy craft can be fiddly because if you're not exactly lined up they can wobble about for a while before successfully docking.
<DrPhoenix_>
Not right now this is the autonomous part first
<DrPhoenix_>
what are your guys’ best builds (trying to avoid acidentally saying something wrong abt docking/ space stations)
<Deddly>
Best builds for docking together specifically?
<DrPhoenix_>
No just best builds in ksp ever that you made
<DrPhoenix_>
?
<Deddly>
I was quite pleased with this one, considering the lowish tech I had available at the time https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/166447-the-moderation-nation-space-program/&do=findComment&comment=3204048
<Althego>
can you fly it too?
<Althego>
at least my shuttles are notoriously hard to fly
<Althego>
otherwise a really nice recreation of the shape
<Deddly>
It is exceedingly draggy though. It's like flying with airbrakes on.
<Althego>
so like in old ksp?
<DrPhoenix_>
I like it it looks good
<Deddly>
Thanks, I was mostly going for the aesthetics, and it's my first serious attempt at a shuttle. I gained a lot of respect for the engineers who worked on the real thing
<Deddly>
Althego, yeah it felt almost like flying in the old souposhpere
<DrPhoenix_>
my most proud moment in ksp was when I got my first mun base bu my shuttles suck so that’s a real achievement
<Althego>
one problem i dont like that the shuttle is sized incorrectly in the game. it should be smaller to have the orange tank and the original large solid boosters
<Deddly>
Yeah.
<Deddly>
Thanks for the compliments.

oh hi spork
<DrPhoenix_>
i met you yesterday
<SporkWitch>
i don't recall; where you hear with the guest name?
<DrPhoenix_>
I told you about crashing into mun and dissapearing mun
<DrPhoenix_>
yes
<SporkWitch>
gotcha
<DrPhoenix_>
I was webchat772
<DrPhoenix_>
then we talked about dcs and flight sims
<SporkWitch>
yeah, i remember the discussion, just didn't see this name :P
<DrPhoenix_>
Oh and I did the space station
<DrPhoenix_>
its 200-300 parts
<SporkWitch>
nice :)
<SporkWitch>
i need to do a new station around minmus and a ground base, get some fuel production going
<DrPhoenix_>
im planning on a mun station a second mun base and I mapped out kerbin and mun with rovers and probes
<DrPhoenix_>
yes I need to restart my mun science industry
<SporkWitch>
i strongly recommend ScanSat mod. It's really cool. You actually have to get it into a proper orbit because it maps in real-time and realistically, so it has to actually pass over the area to map it. It generates beautiful and useful visual, biome, topographical, and resource maps.
<DrPhoenix_>
im going to map out a landing site get a launchpad and some landers a basic mun base some miner rovers and later assemble a comet lab and base
<DrPhoenix_>
complex*
<DrPhoenix_>
not comet
<SporkWitch>
i usually do more on minmus; shallower gravity well so much easier to work with
<DrPhoenix_>
Yeah I plan to get to minmus I just need some science from mun bases and my new station and build a new mun space station so I can get enough funds for a rocket that was enough TWR and is capable of getting enough Delta v to get to minmus
<SporkWitch>
it takes comparable ΔV to the Mun, and much less to land and take off.
<DrPhoenix_>
I also need to map minmus
<SporkWitch>
so much so that even though needing an inclination change is more complicated, a lot of tutorials even recommend going to minmus BEFORE the mun, for new players lol
<SporkWitch>
you can actually reach orbit on EVA using the kerbal's jetpack lol
<DrPhoenix_>
yeah I’ve only played KSP for 3 years mostly just messing around and waiting for my game to load and I only really got into the community a month ago
<DrPhoenix_>
its a great community and there’s so much stuff to do in KSP and it’s full of nice people I never thought KSP would be so deep and with KSP 2 on the way it’s gonna make a comeback
<DrPhoenix_>
Hey althego you here?

i am washing a huge statue in powerwash simulator
<funkenstein>
Hmm
<DrPhoenix_>
Yeah I mostly using stock ksp because it’s a lot less laggy and there’s still a lot to do
<funkenstein>
it takes about a minute for me, but that's unmodded
<DrPhoenix_>
ive got making history I’m planning to get breaking ground
<SporkWitch>
both are very much worth it, but especially breaking ground
<DrPhoenix_>
on ps5 to load a massive rocket takes 15 secs
<DrPhoenix_>
yep I’ve seen breaking ground
<funkenstein>
I meant for the whole game, not a unique craft
<DrPhoenix_>
im very much excited to get more involved in KSP and community
<funkenstein>
15 seconds is insane, how massive?
<SporkWitch>
you might check the settings. I know on PS2 and PS3 there were settings for improving graphics and/or loading speed that you could toggle, when running PS1 and PS2 games on the new systems.
<DrPhoenix_>
for whole game? Still very quick
<DrPhoenix_>
to load whole game on ps5 is maybe 1 min max
<funkenstein>
speedy
<SporkWitch>
i'm usually looking at like a minute to load the launch pad for most rockets and i'm honestly not sure what it is. I'm hoping it's GPU-related, though, because if I'm CPU-bottlenecked that's just insane
<DrPhoenix_>
how massive? About starship size maybe
<SporkWitch>
not really much to upgrade when I'm running a Ryzen 9 3950x
<funkenstein>
xbox one takes 4 minutes, ans sometimes loading my largest rocekts takes 8 minutes

gonna finally upgrade my GPU as a celebration gift to myself
<SporkWitch>
I'm running a Ryzen 9 3950x, 4x32GB of DDR4 3600 RAM, a Firecuda 520 NVMe SSD.... and a GTX-1060...
<DrPhoenix_>
You deserve the upgrade
<DrPhoenix_>
happy launches
<Izaya>
used to have a 2x GTX 980 setup... and an i3 4160
<SporkWitch>
i'm hoping a GPU upgrade will let me replace RealPlume with Waterfall; the latter is soooooo much prettier, but certain engines turn the game to a slideshow when I'm near the ground lol
<DrPhoenix_>
Why is it that studying astrophysics and aerospace engineering is fun?
<funkenstein>
putting my rover on minmus was a poor choice
<DrPhoenix_>
someone explaine
<SporkWitch>
because it's interesting stuff? I always enjoyed physics when i was in school
<SporkWitch>
funkenstein: rovers and minmus don't mix lol. much better makingan RCS-powered drone
<DrPhoenix_>
Yes I’ve always enjoyed physics
<funkenstein>
I love engineering and physics, but math makes me panic
<DrPhoenix_>
yes using maths in things like astrophysics is calm
<DrPhoenix_>
but using maths on class is AAA
<DrPhoenix_>
Lectures are fun too
<DrPhoenix_>
Hey do any of you have a screenshot of an rcs drone I could use?
<funkenstein>
to the point where i've answered difficullt questions when I wasn't paying any attention but I can't answer a simple multiplication problem if I feel like I;m on the spot
<Izaya>
computers are good at maths, let them do it
<SporkWitch>
i used to be really good with maths, but after high school i just didn't use it, so when i went back to university i really struggled, especially since we weren't allowed calculators
<DrPhoenix_>
Yeah that’s why I prefer using math in physics because everybody thinks physics is boring but it’s not so when physics is interesting maths is easier
<Izaya>
speaking of calculators, fun fact: the TI-89 Titanium is more powerful than the original Macintosh
<DrPhoenix_>
Cool fact thanks!
<funkenstein>
I have one of those lol
<SporkWitch>
but not more expensive :P
<funkenstein>
hah
<SporkWitch>
speaking of macs, looks like they're giving me the option of a mac instead of windows for the new job, just gotta get in touch with my new manager to find out if i'm allowed heh
<DrPhoenix_>
Does anyone have any screenshots of an rcs drone for minmus I could use? I need one to explore
<DrPhoenix_>
Did you know you can run ksp on an old MacBook
<Izaya>
DrPhoenix_: stick a probe core on top of a 1.25m RCS tank, put 4 RCS clusters around it, add legs
<SporkWitch>
doesn't need much. RCS tank, 4 RCS blocks, can use an octo and a couple RTGs for power and SAS (as well as operation without a kerbal), and stick a seat on top
<SporkWitch>
at least one leg is a good idea too, yeah; ground anchor is a life saver with the wonky sliding physics even on flat ground, especially in minmus' low gravity
<Izaya>
I should dig up my tiny 8-kerbal lander
<Izaya>
just 8 sests on a monoprop tank

Frustrated by the failure of your heavy spaceplane design, you simply turn it upright, attach launch clamps, and call it a rocket.
<funkenstein>

<FLHerne>

oh duh

those wheels don't look effective
<funkenstein>
they're stowed for launch
<FLHerne>
ah
<FLHerne>
I keep forgetting that hinges are a thing now, should really buy Breaking Ground
<FLHerne>
oh, 1.12 has the engineer tweaking thing
<funkenstein>
they have a retrct option just like the lanbding legs
<FLHerne>
and they retract in that axis? huh
<funkenstein>
I can't type, but I CAN has chezburger
<SporkWitch>
but those ta-tas are still spectacular lol
<DrPhoenix_>
Wit what’s going on?
<raptop>
Somewhere in the next 4-24 hours, there will be more UFO reports from the upper stage and/or satellites
<SporkWitch>
massive quantities of orbital litter :P
* raptop
pokes things
<SporkWitch>
though it occurs to me that there aren't really any good MMORPGs anymore and most of what i play is single player now, i could probably get away with starlink living in the middle of nowhere...
<SporkWitch>
heck, latency was the only reason i never considered volunteering for a mars colony lol
<DrPhoenix_>
Hey if you guys like Mars colonies you should try surviving Mars it’s a realistic survival sim which is greatly hard
<DrPhoenix_>
really*
<DrPhoenix_>
build a Mars colony and stuff
<DrPhoenix_>
or just play ksp
<DrPhoenix_>
ksp is peak Elon sim
<Izaya>
surviving mars is something else I need to give another go
<Izaya>
keep ending up playing RimWorld instead >.>
<SporkWitch>
there's an organ harvesting mod for rimworld lol
<Izaya>
mod?
<Izaya>
you can do it in vanilla
<DrPhoenix_>
You played it? I enjoyed it very much I found a flat level of ground with loads of deposits and water sources and it stops dust storm from killing everything I have completed it and I have a fully finctional colony with 500 people
<Pinkbeast>
Surviving Mars is... not remotely realistic, starting from an intentional pulp SF aesthetic
<SporkWitch>
Izaya: oh? i was under the impression it was a mod from the video i watched heh
<Izaya>
there's mods that make it easier or more practical
<Izaya>
but you can have people donate lungs at gunpoint in vanilla just fine
<Pinkbeast>
I've played it a lot, and I liked it, but it's not a place to look for realism - I think this most strongly struck me when I realised once you have fuel infrastructure the marginal cost of having a rocket make a round trip from Earth to Mars and back is so low you could quite sensibly have one bring you a ham sandwich
<funkenstein>
gimme your lung or I'll put a hole in it, style of thing?
<funkenstein>
very Repo
<Izaya>
you broke it, you buy it

about to launch a mission to set up commsats around the sun, this is going to get complicated heh. going by the wiki, i'll need a ring of 6, a ring of 12, and a ring of 24 for total coverage lol
<FLHerne>
SporkWitch: yeah, I banned them to demonstrate how to ban people :p
<SporkWitch>
*her
<FLHerne>
ok
<SporkWitch>
singule "them" drives me nuts and is grammatically incorrect, and funk's said explicitly that she's a she
<SporkWitch>
*singular
<SporkWitch>
i did an oopsy... was adjusting my orbit and didn't notice the periapsis dip into duna's atmosphere... lol
<SporkWitch>
luckily no damage heh
<SporkWitch>
i should do more aerobraking when visiting duna, this atmosphere is VERY forgiving
<SporkWitch>
poop, i didn't notice steam was still showing the framerate inthe corner >_<
<Mat2ch>
Oh. OH. I always wondered why that one extandable ladder looked like it looks. And now I see a picture of an A-10, which has exactly that ladder built in...
<SporkWitch>
lol
<SporkWitch>
you mean the one that's a central pole with "spokes" on the sides?
<SporkWitch>
leaves more weight for the fireworks :)
<Mat2ch>
And I found out about it, because some nation is doing preliminary tests with a flight simulator to evaluate the A-10...
<Mat2ch>
Because it was made in the 1970s to use against Sowjet tanks...
<Pinkbeast>
I submit there are a limited number of designs for extensible ladders - form follows function
<Mat2ch>
That is true, but even the color matches.
<Mat2ch>
the ladder in KSP is just two steps longer. But I think that the A-10 ladder was the inspiration.
<Mat2ch>
The form of the steps is also the same. You wouldn't have to do that if you just draw a lightweight ladder
<FLHerne>
SporkWitch: I didn't remember that she's a she, "he" would be statistically likely given IRC but risky and in this case wrong, and "it" is kind of impersonal :p
<FLHerne>
Hard to argue that singular they/them is "incorrect" for the last couple of decades, English has never been a prescriptive language
<FLHerne>
I don't love it, but the need exists and silly ideas like "xem" are worse
<SporkWitch>
FLHerne: "he" is also standard convention in english when it's unknown; goes back to how "wereman" and "wyfman" became just "man" and "woman"; we're left with masculine being neuter as well.
<SporkWitch>
don't bow to the cult and their Newspeak
