06:41 <packbart> Mat2ch: well, you can always clone a part, fudge its numbers and call it a Cheese Engine ;)

09:18 <sandbox> !mission

09:18 <LunchBot> You discharge your Friendship drive. The inevitable happens, shocking everyone.

10:00 <Mat2ch> packbart: true, true

10:05 <Mat2ch> https://europeanspaceflight.com/esa-selects-four-companies-to-develop-reusable-rocket-technology/

10:05 <Mat2ch> ESA is on to something here.

10:08 <Althego> in 5 years after spending a lot of money on it, it will eb cancelled :)

10:09 <Mat2ch> "We don't have enough contracts to justify having reusable rockets"

10:23 <Althego> hehe. which will cause them to have even fewer contracts

10:36 <Althego> hah founf a scientist

11:47 <Althego> these have x thousand units of fuel on station contracts are absolutely stupid

11:48 <Althego> like i would move 7500 t of liquid fuel, and to be useful with oxidizer to mun orbit

11:48 <Althego> maybe for a million

11:48 <Althego> but only 250k, forget it

11:48 <Althego> can fulfill it maybe with liquid fuel only, but that is almost pointless, maybe refill for nukes

11:49 <Althego> even then it is heavy and there is no correctly shaped tanks for that

12:05 <Mat2ch> you need the Making History DLC to get bigger stock tanks

12:05 <Mat2ch> also a few days ago for the first time I had a look at the Making History parts and understood why many thought this DLC was a scam

12:08 <Althego> i have it

12:08 <Althego> the bigger tanks are far away yet

12:11 <darsie> Althego: Why didn't you complete the tech tree?

12:18 <KrazyKrl> ;mission add You have a dental mishap and begin drafting an apology in Zamibian.

12:18 <LunchBot> Added mission: You have a dental mishap and begin drafting an apology in Zamibian.

12:23 <Althego> because it is day 4

12:23 <Althego> and i am colelcting 160 nodes, i have one 300 for the magnetometer and seismometer

12:24 <Althego> even if i did, it is basically 2.5 orange tanks worth of fuel, and other station elemetns, so about 3 orange tanks worth of mass to the mun. ridiculous and stupid. you would need a gargantuan launch vehicle for this

12:57 <darsie> https://0x0.st/XGj4.png I have 7 S4-512 tanks in my big fuel station. Takes off with 6 Mammoths and partially filled tanks, later discards the Mammoths and goes orbital with Wolfhounds. Gets filled up on Minmus, then aerobrakes to LKO. It's for all my refuelling needs e.g. for class I comet capture.

12:58 <darsie> Why did you restart from scratch?

12:58 <Althego> there have been some changes since then

12:59 <Althego> and also the journey is the interesting part

12:59 <darsie> mhm

12:59 <Althego> late career is not too interesting

12:59 <Althego> i like it when things are rolling in mid career. 10 ission in parallel

13:00 <Althego> and there is always something to discover

13:00 <darsie> I don't bother about game time.

13:00 <darsie> I'm year 600 or so.

13:00 <Althego> hehe

13:00 <darsie> 521

13:01 <Althego> usually my goal is to complete the tree and buildings by day 10. but i think i will be slow this time, i am at least 2 days behind

13:19 <Deddly> !mission

13:19 <LunchBot> You put a friend's granddaughter in charge of your craft and fail to adequately supervise her. Cirno is embarassed by your poor math skills.

13:19 <Althego> different universe

13:42 <darsie> Gotta employ a grand daughter if you're bad at math.

15:06 <Deddly> !nextlunch

15:06 <LunchBot> Jalapeño, tomato, onion and mushroom pizza.

15:06 <Deddly> mmmmmmm

15:19 <Deddly> !mission

15:19 <LunchBot> Stock aero comes out. Say what you like about the alien killer crabs, but by God they can organise an invasion! We have a lot to learn from them - though we'd better be quick!

15:19 <Deddly> Wait... stock aero includes killer crabs? WHY

16:48 <sandbox> !mission

16:48 <LunchBot> Your craft starts making a mechanical "whoooom" sound every second or so. The outcome is over your head - both metaphorically and literally.

17:27 <FLHerne> Hunt for Red October?

17:28 <FLHerne> almost everything is overhead on a submarine

17:34 <xxcoder> ;mission

17:34 <LunchBot> You run out of blackmail material and are fired from KSC. The spam filter destroys all your rations.

17:36 <xxcoder> noo my rations! no job to buy more too

19:02 <Mat2ch> found two mods that might work for me. Blueshift and Impulse Party.

19:02 <Mat2ch> Going to build a warp ship now!

19:21 <Althego> lol and now build a new orbital station around minmus, with 7500 fuel. no thanks

19:21 <Althego> maybe with tenth of that that would makesense

19:22 <Althego> and the third one is a repurposed contract sat working as a commsat with about 80 fuel, i am not going to reposition that

19:53 <packbart> Mat2ch: it reaches speeds up to Kraken 7?

20:10 <Mat2ch> No, it goes to 11!

20:10 <Mat2ch> Both mods would require a decent manual. But there's none :(

22:20 <packbart> well, their forum thread usually serves as sort of a manual. someone often already asked the same questions :)

22:30 <darsie> .mission add To avoid future crashes you suggest we switch to IU (international units).

22:30 <LunchBot> Added mission: To avoid future crashes you suggest we switch to IU (international units).

22:47 <xxcoder> ;mission

22:47 <LunchBot> You use !nextlunch to decide your next lunch. Bob collides with a relativistic proton.

22:47 <xxcoder> so, no change to bob eh

22:53 <sandbox> !nextlunch

22:53 <LunchBot> Quiche with spinach, feta, olive, bacon, salami, pickled garlic and fresh basil leaves.

23:18 <FLHerne> That's a fancy lunch

23:28 <xxcoder> nice lunch

23:28 <xxcoder> ;nextlunch

23:28 <LunchBot> Gyros.

23:28 <xxcoder> fancy

23:34 <darsie> .nextlunch reislinsen

23:34 <LunchBot> Reislinsengemüse.
