You receive a tentacle-written note from the Kraken requesting the random detachment of 8937 control surfaces, or else. And that's *yet another* XK-class End of the World Event that's your fault.

You send spaceships to colonize the planets with the power of metal music. While threading the eye of the needle of debris, you notice a kerbal is missing.

they headbanged too much?

This sounds like that scene from Star Trek [3rd new one I forgot the name of]
<FLHerne>
the one where they blow up a cloud of asteroids with music or something
<Althego>
i still remember the wings colliding with launchpad, even when i was in orbit. that was the most annoying disappearing bug for a spaceplane

How do I launch 2 on Linux without steam?
<darsie>
Do I have to track missions to complete them?
<darsie>
like accepting contracts
<darsie>
Can I complete missions with deeds done before the mission was available?
<darsie>
2 hogs my computer while in the background. It stops sound then.
<Azander>
yes you have to track them
<Azander>
no you cannot complete a mission with previous deeds, they didn't get tracked
<darsie>
ok
<darsie>
I don't like the slow typing of tooltips.
<darsie>
I want mission objectives in the VAB.
<darsie>
oops, I accidently reverted to VAB after recovering the vessle and lost the mission. Was just Jr. lab on the pad, fortunately.
<Althego>
hehe
<Althego>
could be worse. you successfully return from tylo and accidentally revert instead of recover :)
<darsie>
*After* recovering.
<Althego>
i think revert would stop working after a scene change
<darsie>
I'd save several times on a Tylo mission.
<Althego>
me too, because many things can happen. randomly changing orbit, game crash, freezing kerbal, strange physics during docking, etc
<Althego>
but the mission design is always doable without retries
<Azander>
there is a mod to fix that, but yes you would think so
<darsie>
I kinda like how heat shields are not as superfluous as before.
<Althego>
they werent
<Althego>
and i always played on 120% heat anyway
<darsie>
Didn't need them for a return from Mun in 1.
<Althego>
if you were careful, yes
<darsie>
Or even interplanetary, IIRC.
<darsie>
I played normal.
<Althego>
but the center part overheating seems to be still a problem
<Althego>
usually it was the science jr for me, but one of the ksp2 videos hsowed a similar issue, that the heat shield didnt protect a part several parts behind it
<darsie>
But it's ok to not need heat shields if there's a 'rocket scientist' level.
<darsie>
in 'normal'.
<Althego>
wjat does it do
<darsie>
idk
<darsie>
in one it was 'hard', IICR.
<darsie>
The VAB save scheme takes some time to understand.
<darsie>
In debian/Linux with xkcd umm ... xfce 2 drops to the last task in the alt-tab task switcher, so I can't quickly switch to IRC and back.
<Althego>
hehe xkcd
<darsie>
:)
<darsie>
My rocket lost its root part in the VAB and is dipping into the ground and I can't get it up.
<Althego>
that last part sounded funny
<darsie>
:)
<darsie>
Can someone explain the save scheme in 2? Workspace, vehicle name? Is that like Workspace 'mun orbit' and iteration 1, 2, ...?
<Althego>
wait, they could overcomplicate saving?
<Althego>
how is t hat even possible
<Althego>
maybe something similar to subassemblies?
<darsie>
Did someone push the launch button in the VAB?
<Althego>
lol thos etiles

You attempt to argue with Rokker. The resulting flame war goes on for days.

Oh no, attitude control still overshoots if RWs are <100% :(.

The unit for torque (RWs) is Nm, not N.

I guess the lander can can't survive reentry even with 1,25 m heat shield. https://0x0.st/HgY1.png

Lol, the trip planner includes 3400 m/s for Kerbin landing.

darsie, have you figured out how to move the camera up and down in the VAB?
<darsie>
yes, but not the rocket in that case.

middle finger up and down.

umm, mouse button.

not scrolling.
