I just happened to stumble on this on the forum
<FLHerne>
Welcome to #KSPOfficial then
<Guest60584>
Thank you
<Guest60584>
What do you all talk about? Well, besides KSP
<Althego>
sadly not much is going on lately. but aside from ksp sometimes real life launches
<FLHerne>
(it's an IRC channel on irc.esper.net , not many people use the forum webclient except random visitors like you)
<Guest60584>
Oh
<FLHerne>
mostly it's KSP or poking LunchBot
<FLHerne>
;mission
<LunchBot>
After trying a meta-meat pie at the KSC, you build a protein/anti-protein generator. Unfortuantely, the KAL-1000 can't do that for Dave Kerman.
<Guest60584>
Well, i am honored to have found it
<Mat2ch>
FLHerne: You remind me of something
<Guest60584>
LunchBot ?
<LunchBot>
I am a bot operated by FLHerne. Try !{nextlunch,lunch,lunchmode,nextbook,book,answer,8ball,mission,outcome,stupid,wisdom,quote,colloid,nextcolloid,colloid²,nextfrog,frog,rocks,space!,nextbankruptcy,bankruptcy,nextpinecone,nextyear,nextfire,choose,startup,nextstartup,startup1,startup2,startup3,banlist,help} help.
<FLHerne>
sometimes real science/spaceflight
<FLHerne>
I need to make that help message suck less
<Mat2ch>
I need to test the wing configuration thing Scott Manley mentioned
<Guest60584>
Ha
<Mat2ch>
Maybe makes my SSTOs more stable on reentry
<FLHerne>
there's also #SpaceX on here which is a lot more active and less frequently on-topic
<Guest60584>
My motto is "It worked in KSP"
<Guest60584>

<FLHerne>

<Guest60584>

Eggdrop soup (say, from 200 km up)
<Guest60584>
Ha
<FLHerne>
you can add lunches you want, and then it'll suggest them to the next guy
<Guest60584>
Thats is actually pretty cool
<FLHerne>
!mission
<LunchBot>
You disturb the PrefixCactus. Physics fails you, and you fall through the floor.
<FLHerne>
^ suggests stupid things
<Guest60584>
!mission
<LunchBot>
You do an aileron roll! You find Kashyyyk was in the Kerbal system the whole time.
<FLHerne>
frankly, most of the commands suggest stupid things
<Guest60584>
lol
<Guest60584>
So, what do you guys do for fun
<FLHerne>
boat, write stupid IRC bots, occasionally play KSP or OpenTTD
<Guest60584>
Oh, cool
<FLHerne>
well, I live on the boat, so maybe it's not "fun" as such
<FLHerne>
but it's fun
<Guest60584>
I just got done coping the KSP wiki in a notebook
<Guest60584>
what kind of boat do you live on?
<FLHerne>
short blue narrowboat
<Guest60584>
oh, cool
<Guest60584>
Thats alot of room
<Guest60584>

The best answer to any defect in the past must be a remedy in the future.
<darsie>
I'm trying to make a propeller Eve ascender.
<ThatOneGuy>
Thank you
<darsie>
.
<ThatOneGuy>
Now, that is actually pretty useful
<darsie>
It would be if it worked.
<ThatOneGuy>
I got tired of making landing craft so huge, i just stoped going to Eve
<darsie>
Landing doesn't take much.
<ThatOneGuy>
For me, when ever i did go down, I made sure i droped tanks as i flew to get max thrust/wieght ratio
<ThatOneGuy>
But this led to making, like, 8 stage craft for ascent
<darsie>
ok, ascent.
<darsie>
That's the tough thing.
<darsie>
And entry heat.
<ThatOneGuy>
nobody wants to land a full size rocket, JUST to take back off
<ThatOneGuy>
Yes and entry heat
<ThatOneGuy>
that was easy
<darsie>
There must be challenges for advanced players.
<darsie>
I like Gilly :).
<ThatOneGuy>
just some goliaths on the bottom on a detachable stage that went up the side of the rocket with heat sheilds worked for me
<ThatOneGuy>
gilly?!
<darsie>
Eve's moon.
<ThatOneGuy>
Thats the one you like?
<ThatOneGuy>
I like eloo
<darsie>
I landed there with ion thrusters :).
<ThatOneGuy>
I know where it is Ive been playing since 2018
<ThatOneGuy>
well, yeah its the size of an astroid XD
<darsie>
I landed on Eloo with ion thrusters :).
<ThatOneGuy>
oh
<ThatOneGuy>
yeah well
<ThatOneGuy>
uh
<ThatOneGuy>
um
<darsie>
:)
<ThatOneGuy>
okay you win
<darsie>
8 or 9 dawns
<ThatOneGuy>
You just love giving yourself a hard time, huh
<darsie>
On a strut frame with lots of solar panels.
<darsie>
idk, It's far away, you need a lot of dv.
<ThatOneGuy>
I dont think i could torture myself enough to do that
<ThatOneGuy>
i like flame and exaughst, and i always will
<ThatOneGuy>
FLHerne, youve been pretty quiet
<ThatOneGuy>
