<Izzy> bigge
<Izzy> inflatable heatshields as sunshields?
<darsie> For aerobraking when returning from Minmus.
<darsie> Unfortunately I forgot RCS retrothrusters. Not sure whether to put them under the heat shields, might work but is unrealistic, or on deployable booms.
<darsie> And the junior ports might be better next to the standard ports for better clearance.
<darsie> Landing legs are a bit too high.
<darsie> The silly RCS has rotation wiggle.
<packbart> https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/214809-approaching-patch-one/ - today's second communication
<packbart> "We also fixed the "Kraken drive" bug that created insane reverse thrust when an engine’s nozzle was obstructed" - I saw that in action. Put a reversed Rapier on top of your rocket and plug it with a nosecone, reach orbit in seconds

<Izzy> oic, it's a tanker as well
<darsie> It's only a fuel station.
<darsie> Getting fuel from the Minmus refinery rover.
<darsie> My next version of the fuel station is broken. It seems to load the rocket multiple times in the VAB.

<darsie> These RCS thrusters don't work exactly as planned: http://0x0.st/Hi2g.05.webm
<Izzy> delicious
<Izzy> do they work properly if you lock the motors?
<Izzy> also, I got really excited over those teakettle RCS thrusters but they had a higher Isp than the nuclear engines I was putting them with
<Izzy> feels like there should be beefy but low(er) ISP hot gas jets to go with the NERV
<Izzy> oh, it does include a locked segment
<Izzy> oops
<darsie> I did lock the hinge in the video. Can't lock teh motor.
<darsie> This didn't help much, either: http://0x0.st/Hi2F.png

<Izzy> oh, I guess having them fold in to avoid melting is important
<Izzy> was going to suggest using a construction port to attach them once it reaches orbit, but...
<Izzy> Construction port and a piston could work, though?
<Izzy> Or even moving the hinge to half the length, so it's a smaller lever?

<Izzy> hehe, only bends a little
<Althego> what i usually do, i put rcs on top instead and angle it
<Althego> so the angle is small
<Althego> for eve landers
<Althego> exactly the same thing the shuttle did, no rcs port on the underside. if it worked for them it is good enough for mwe

<Mat2ch> darsie: where do you plan to go with that thing?
<darsie> Refuel in KEO or so.
<darsie> It's a fuel station.
<darsie> Heat shields are for aerobraking when coming from Minmus where the fuel comes from.
<darsie> LKO*
<Mat2ch> Ah!
<Mat2ch> I still have to do my Eve mission
<Mat2ch> But I have too many other things to do
<darsie> Which one?
<Mat2ch> when I'm retired maybe. :D
<darsie> heh
<Mat2ch> I have to walk on the surface of Eve.
<darsie> ok
<Mat2ch> Which is not that hard.
<Mat2ch> Coming down is easy.
<darsie> I did an eve sample return.
<Mat2ch> My head just thought to myself: Why not build and land an absolut monster of rocket on Eve?
<Mat2ch> The bigger the better
<Mat2ch> But the framerate will not be happy.
<darsie> That's what I did, kinda. Mammoth, Vector, Terrier.
<Mat2ch> Bigger.
<darsie> With refinery to self refuel.
<Mat2ch> BIGGER.
<Mat2ch> :D
<Mat2ch> A huge thing that has to be assembled in orbit, held together by docking ports and struts I install in orbit

<darsie> Now I know what I forgot on my fuel station. Some non foldable solar panels in case I forget to extend the panels after aerobraking. Ran out of power ... Writing a feature list would have helped.

<darsie> Dang, I can't set different change speed settings on custom1 and custom2 settings for engine thrust limiter. If I set one, the other is set to that value, too.
<darsie> I want a rough and a fine setting.
<darsie> To thange all six Wolfhounds simultaneously.
<darsie> Guess I have to stick with 10%/s as compromise.
