Hello fellow KSPers :3 I just found out I have the day off from work, so guess what I'm doing, lol.
<umaxtu>
robbing a bank?
<Guest29820>
How did you know that? Hm... A space bank... Actually, I'm trying to decide on a new save file / purpose. I finished career mode a while ago (well, unlocked tech tree), so now I'm looking for a goal to run a new campaign on...
<Mat2ch>
Eve mission!
<Mat2ch>
Bring down three Kerbals, do some science, bring all three back.
<darsie>
gl
<Mat2ch>
No aspargus staging. Refueling at Eve is allowed.
<darsie>
aspargus?
<Mat2ch>
Draining outside tanks first and then throwing them away with an engine on it
<Mat2ch>
makes Eve so much easier
<Mat2ch>
If Eve is too hard, do Jool-5. Visit and land on all of Jools five moons with a single mission.
<Mat2ch>
Building several crafts and docking them to a main craft in orbit of Kerbin is allowed.
<Mat2ch>
(I go for a SSTO for Laythe usually)
<Guest29820>
Too hard? No such thing. Only physically impossible matters. xD
<Guest29820>
I have wanted to build something massive in orbit piece by piece... hm
<Guest29820>
Thank you for the suggestions :3
<darsie>
I tried to make a craft that captures a comet to Kerbol orbit, but it was too unstable.
<darsie>
I used 4 nervs.
<Guest29820>
In sandbox I grabbed a few asteroids and put them in Kerbin orbit. That was pretty fun
<Izaya>
Implement NASA's Integrated Program Plan from the 70s
<Izaya>
reusable nuclear orbit-to-orbit shuttles are very convenient for moving large payloads, NASA was definitely onto something https://shadowkat.net/tmp/da9b.jpg
<Guest29820>
Nice. I didn't know this existed, but I was toying a bit with the idea of setting up fuel depots on/around all the planets with "helpers" that would bring fuel to you if you could just get captured
<Izaya>
transfer to rendezvous is pretty straightforward most of the time
<Izaya>
the further away it is the simpler it is
<Guest29820>
yeah cuz phasing mhm -- the idea was that you'd go to the fuel depot most of the time, but the helpers are like a failsafe in case it's an emergency or something
<Izaya>
that makes sense
<Izaya>
consider also a fuel tanker that can assemble itself into a station
<Izaya>
like, one design of tanker to get fuel to orbit from the surface
<Guest29820>
i like it
<Izaya>
make it so you can dock multiple together
<Izaya>
so your fuel station is just a bunch of tankers attached to each other
<Guest29820>
or like one universal build that can be launched and sent anywhere, mine for fuel, and set up in orbit
<Guest29820>
and then those be combinable
<Izaya>
then you can just detach one and send it to rendezvous if necessary
<Guest29820>
yep nice
<Izaya>
that's not a bad way to do it, but I usually send down my ISRU plant with the first crewed expedition
<Guest29820>
i typically don't do crewed expeditions.. i always feel guilty and like there's a weight on me to retrieve them at some point, which i lose interest in doing (hence the guilt xD)
<Guest29820>
plus automated stuff is just so cool.. yeah i can't deploy surface science like that, but pure robotic solutions are just neat yk
<Izaya>
there's something really satisfying about sending a successful mission to somewhere and back with kerbals onboard
funkenstein has joined #KSPOfficial
<Guest29820>
I agree... Just not satisfying enough for me to follow through xD
<Izaya>
eh, if it's a long trip I put em on a return trajectory and set a reminder
<Guest29820>
I have done it a few times, but it doesn't pique my interest moving forward I mean
<funkenstein>

ew this new launcher... thumbs down
<Neal>
the steam version now installs a launcher
<raptop>
It can at least be worked around
<Neal>
"E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\KSP_x64.exe" %command% -popupwindow
<Neal>
wonder how long it will work =
<Pinkbeast>
If you're unwise enough to use Steam (or anything else that can scribble on your KSP install), keep a complete copy of the install somewhere else and play _that_.
<raptop>
especially with mods
<Neal>
hmm yeah maybe I should do a full backup of this version, who knows how long it will remain drm-ree

You hold a press conference about your space program. You find yourself feeling floofy, and exothermic.
