<raptop>
seems like a reasonable selection of lunches
<funkenstein>
I haven't the slightest what the first two are
<funkenstein>
a fleet of ???
<raptop>
The first one is fish & chips from a place that's apparently a meme in the UK
<raptop>
The second is a fleet of battleship rolls
<funkenstein>
ah
<SporkWitch>
gonna take years to deploy these commsats lol
<raptop>
yay for timewarp
<SporkWitch>
i think i only actually need the middle ring of satellites though. maxed KSC tracking station and RA-100 relays, i feel like that will probably cover the whole solar system
<SporkWitch>
i do wish they had an overlay to show max range assuming the weakest antenna at the other end
<SporkWitch>
cost almost a million to send up, but will be worth it
<funkenstein>
IT'S PRETTY, BUT i CAN'T QUITE TELL WHAT i'M LOOKING AT
<funkenstein>
oh jeez
<funkenstein>
caps lock
<SporkWitch>
it's a monstrosity lol. it's a big fuel tank, a large NTR, and 4 stacks of 3 RA-100 commsats each attached radially
<SporkWitch>
setting up a constellation at 25 million km around the sun
<funkenstein>
NTR?
<SporkWitch>
Nuclear Thermal Rocket
<funkenstein>
doh!
<SporkWitch>
needed a lot of ΔV and the maps aren't great for figuring out arbitrary solar orbits, so wanted to play it safe
<FLHerne>
funkenstein: in case you missed it when you ragequit, [21:35] <FLHerne> funkenstein: You can, everyone can <FLHerne> except people who are banned, obviously <FLHerne> ;banlist add funkenstein
<FLHerne>
you can also ;banlist del, naturally
<FLHerne>
SporkWitch: ...WHY do you want a constellation at 25 million km around the sun?
<FLHerne>
is there some mod that adds anything of any interest out there?
<SporkWitch>
relay network. RA-100's there to connect to RA-2 constellations around planets and moons
<FLHerne>
or just because you feel like putting something there
<SporkWitch>
too lazy to cehck the maths myself, so just going by the recommended constellations on the wiki
<SporkWitch>
i could just turn off commnet, but that's lame, and i like the pretty commnet lines on the map lol
<SporkWitch>
and the engine just committed itself to the kraken...
<raptop>
F
<SporkWitch>
*sighs*
<FLHerne>
I feel like it would be easier to put a couple of big antennas on each probe that happens to go out there than to deploy a constellation of dozens of sats, for any reasonable number of probes :p
<SporkWitch>
screw it, cheat menu to the deployment orbit...
<FLHerne>
but then KSP has never been about doing things the easy way
<FLHerne>
nor the reasonable one
<SporkWitch>
yeah, i just like doing the satellites, it's fun. sure antennae combine, so i could just stick a bunch of direct ones on the ship unless i'm occluded, but the relays are the "right" way to do it. and doing the ring of 12 RA-100's at 25Gm makes sense to allow smaller commsats around the planets. Then you've got coverage with anything wherever you're operating.
<SporkWitch>
and the commnet lines look pretty when everything's all set up :P
<FLHerne>
true
<umaxtu>
man its been a hot minute since I've tried RP-1 what happened to the science?
<SporkWitch>
never done RP-1, couldn't say
<SporkWitch>
i'm doing MKS and KSPI
<SporkWitch>
that's the realism overhaul, right? makes everything bigger to scale with RSS?

last mission of the night is going to be ferrying up the rest of the crew to fly and manage the transport route between the KSC and LKO using MKS's "Wolf" parts for "virtual" bases. Let's me background the ferrying of fuel and food to kerbin orbit so I don't have to do tedious repeat missions I already know i can do :)

watching the official vids about ksp2 again, i just caught something i missed before: they're doing 3-body maths. They're talking about a binary where both will be affecting your trajectory at the same time. gaahhhhhhh KSP2 needs to come out! lol

In lieu of an Alcubierre drive, you try an Alsphereierre drive instead. You accidentally call Vall "Wall" in a science report, and Wernher Von Kerman seems highly confused.

think i finally figured out what precisely the bottleneck is and why certain engines result in going from playable to slideshow by just adding one more: I'm VRAM capped lol.
<SporkWitch>
definitely feels like an optimization issue, though, given how fast large ships cause it.
<SporkWitch>
CPU is high, but not pegged, but that makes sense since each vessel runs on a single thread. Sounds like a GPU upgrade will do exactly what I need :)
