FIX IT NOW
<Starwaster>

<Raidernick>
Starwaster, he somehow got ksp with mods to run on a computer with 2gb of ram
<Starwaster>
2GB? He barely has enough to run KSP... actually he's lucky if he CAN run stock KSP
<Raidernick>
ram that is part of a cartridge you insert into your keyboard
<Bornholio>
chips go in keyboard

oh god... I'm having gordon dry flashbacks.... but at least he speaks english...

… is he flying straight up to get to orbit?
<Raidernick>
his building is in 9 pieces of 8
<Raidernick>
obviously he needs to get out of the pirate era and get a new computer
<Starwaster>
well DUH, orbit is up so you have to go up. The straighter up, the more upperer you will go
<Starwaster>
unless orbit of many pieces
<Raidernick>
Starwaster, nonono didn't you read the ground is up and the sky is down
<UmbralRaptor>
If he's in .cs, he isn't sleeping at night.

What version of WildBlueTools do I use for RP-0 dev?
<Bornholio>
1.19
<Bornholio>
noticed that there are some broken engines right now, rd-108, 1kn Thrusters and 2kN thrusters are low thrust
<ferram4>
Are we still mocking this guy?
<Bornholio>
do you know how jiggle tubes work?
<UmbralRaptor>
I assume jellyfish rocket syndrome/a need for more struts.
<Bornholio>
to the point of EXPLOSIVE kidney failure
<wb99999999>
what's wrong with RD-108?
<wb99999999>
oh, I remember
<wb99999999>
nvm
<Raidernick>
ferram4, you are to blame for his jiggle tubes
<Raidernick>
and subsequent kidney explosion
<wb99999999>
let's mock him AFTER fixing the engines
<ferram4>
Indeed. If we can figure out what's wrong.
<ferram4>
Also, wouldn't liquid dynamite just be raw nitroglycerin?
<Raidernick>
yeah which is actually a fuel
<Raidernick>
ngnc
<Raidernick>
well it's not really a liquid
<Raidernick>
but they combine it with a binder
<Raidernick>
so it's sorta the same
<Starwaster>
not really, you can put dynamite in jiggle tubes without it exploding. Nitroglycerin? Not so much
<ferram4>
Something something Ignition! quote
<wb99999999>
if anyone's going to add liquid dynamite I figure it can be in some of the early rocket lol
<Starwaster>
"hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water "
<wb99999999>
any explosives TECHNICALLY doubles as solid fuels
<Starwaster>
there ya go ferram4
<Starwaster>
so I've been meaning to ask, what happened to ferrams 1-3? Failures that had to be destroyed? Or are they on the loose somewhere?
<ferram4>
Starwaster, I was thinking, "an oxidizing end and a reducing end separated by two crossed fingers" but the ClF3 one works too
<Starwaster>
lol
<Bornholio>
several of the solid fuels have high and low explosives as reaction accelerants and energy adders
<Raidernick>
Bornholio, as I said ngnc was used in the aerobee srb kick stage
<ferram4>
No idea. It was given to me by my school for an email address, so I kept it
<Raidernick>
it's basically just nitroglycerin
<ferram4>
And hey, the aluminum/ammonium perchlorate propellant used in the Peacekeeper and Minotaurs are cut with some RDX for extra performance.
<wb99999999>
exactly
<wb99999999>
Some of my friend describe Ariane 5 as being propelled "by military grade explosives" referencing to the EAPs
<wb99999999>
not entirely accurate,but it's fun to say
<Bornholio>
my biggest rocket was 24lbs of Stump remover(potassium Nitrate), 26lbs of find ground white sugar, 3 lbs of ground aluminum and 1 lb of iron oxide
<wb99999999>
3 lbs of aluminum is quite a kick
<Bornholio>
never recovered to rocket :)
<Bornholio>
didn't have to call the fire department !
<wb99999999>
with iron oxide you basically got a thermite
<Bornholio>
my best guess from testing was 110-115 isp
<wb99999999>
pretty good
<wb99999999>
as far as I know most model motors don't go beyond 2 digits

Uh
<awang>
Should have been more precise
<SpecimenSpiff>

SpecimenSpiff: You should add in funds/rep penalties for flying over other countries' airspace

80 log messages a tick sounds like it's great for performance

This alpha version that is just a flight corridor shouldnt be too bad, it will just hurt that first time you take a contract and realize you cant launch from your launch site

When you can't stop cutting the chutes ...

it's fair.

Also can't do, I think
<darsie>
No? How fast do they fall over?
<awang>
Combination of bad framerate and speed not actually getting close enough to zero for some reason

IIRC it hits 4 m/s right after touching the ground

idk why

Is your ground buggy, maybe?

Probably?

Is there a way to tell?

<Slavi>
I was just asking if anyone knew why the LR101 vernier costs 58000 to research, which feels like, really high
<Bornholio>
it include parts cost from the LR105 and LR79/89
<Bornholio>
50k less if you research the others first, or the others drop 50k cost when 101
<Slavi>
Ooooh
a_schack has quit [Ping timeout: 180 seconds]
<Slavi>
I don't know if I like that - it makes a really high barrier to entry for some part combos...
<NathanKell>
they literally run off the LR105's turbopump
<NathanKell>
so you kinda have to research that. Except if you did it'd be 130k not 50k, so we made you a deal
<Bornholio>
yup, but the combustion cycle work on that series of engines was all developed in tandem. Similarly the gama 2 and 8 share a portion of their costs
<Slavi>
NathanKell: I don't really mind in that specific circumstance, haha
<Slavi>
I dunno, I just wish the costs weren't so prohibitively high in a career mode where I'm struggling to ever have more than 80k - I keep doing these low tech satellite launches and the profit margins [especially with the exhorbitant rollout costs] are razor thin

NathanKell: I got a quick question about how flybys work
<NathanKell>
ya?
<Slavi>
I plan on throwing one of my sputniks moonward shortly [still using the RD-103 because I'm poor] and I was wondering if an impact counts as a flyby
<blowfish>
well if you used A9s that might explain why you're stapped for cash now...
<Slavi>
The idea is I'd have a sputnik + antennas + science instruments mounted ontop of a service module with batteries, HTP and an avionics module. If I smash the avionics module into the moon and have the sputnik fly past, is that two birds with one stone?
<NathanKell>
Slavi: The flyby contract requires you to get within 5000km of the moon *and transmit science*
<NathanKell>
so as long as you transmit lunar science, and get within 5000km (which you obvs will if you impact) then yep
<Slavi>
Also, how many sputnik antennas do I need to have contact from that distance
<Slavi>
I was thinking of rocking 8.
<Slavi>
Hedgehognik.
<NathanKell>
8 isn't enough
<NathanKell>
10 is
<NathanKell>
they're 1/10th a Comm16
<SpecimenSpiff>
NathanKell do you know offhand what I need to do so that my window properly dissapears when you hit f2 to make the gui go away? I mostly copied my UI from RP-0, which doesnt seem to do that, and isnt in the flight scene anyways

Hi there! Would anyone know a potential reason why I don't have the ability to take an eva report in space? I've upgraded the astro complex, so that's not a problem, but my kerbal/human goes on eva as normal, but then cannot perform an eva report through the drop-down menu or xscience
<A1Tubb>
Am running the dev versions of RSS, RO and RP0
<awang>
Not 100% sure this will fix it, but do you have DMagic Orbital Science and WildBlueTools installed too?
<Bornholio>
i have that same problem, no eva report, even thoug i can eva (development RP0)
<awang>
Ah, never mind then
<A1Tubb>
Yeah, I do have both of those
<A1Tubb>
Sorry, cooking dinner too
<A1Tubb>
Glad I'm not the only one
<A1Tubb>
It kinda screws up the first eva contract
<SpecimenSpiff>
awang, I currently just cheat myself enough credits to upgrade the runway at the start of the game
<awang>
SpecimenSpiff: Wait, the runway isn't already upgraded all the way?
<Slavi>
So the current plan is to throw 225kg of sputnik and other goodies to the moon by late July 1953
<awang>
SpecimenSpiff: Apparently it isn't. Do you have to upgrade it all the way, or just to level 2?
<Slavi>
I don't have maneuver nodes yet, so I have to eyeball everything
<SpecimenSpiff>
I think level makes it flat enough to take off from reliably

<awang>
SpecimenSpiff: Level what?
<awang>
And level 2 didn't appear to change anything :(
<SpecimenSpiff>
hm, last time I tried, that worked for me. Maybe I just got lucky on my take off
<SpecimenSpiff>
I mostly got in that habit when you started with the dirt runway
<awang>
I don't think upgrading changes the runway model?
<awang>
Or at least I didn't notice a change
<patamorphism>
level 3 is definitely paved
<SpecimenSpiff>
you can also just ignore the runway, wheel off to the grass and then throttle up
<Bornholio>
kerbal konstructsw or wait till 1.3, nothin fixes it
<awang>
SpecimenSpiff: Ah, the good old-fashioned way
<awang>
I'll probably end up doing that
<awang>
It seems to happen to me between runway segments
<awang>
I can see a pretty clear seam
<awang>
Bornholio: I do have KK installed :(
<Bornholio>
need a nice big sideways runway attached
<awang>

I will say it is hilarious that my space agency is sending probes to the moon and putting up spy satellites to take pictures of those pesky americans yet we launch our rocket planes from a grassy runway

<Slavi>
you see comrade, in 1953 we hadn't yet mastered building runways
Slavi has quit [Quit: Web client closed]
<patamorphism>
you see ivan, when plane launch on grass, you shall always lift off because of fear of fire
<awang>
I can't even launch properly off the grass on the side of the runway
<awang>
Theheck
<patamorphism>
awang: are you going perpendicular to the runway?
<awang>
patamorphism: No, parallel
<awang>
Should I be going perpendicular?
<patamorphism>
I found I tended to have more success going perpendicular, its flatter for longer
<awang>
Going north or south?
<patamorphism>
isn't the runway north->south? so you should be going east, as west runs into the buildings
<awang>
Uh
<awang>
I thought planes spawned facing more or less easy
<awang>
s/easy/east
<Qboid>
awang meant to say: I thought planes spawned facing more or less east
<patamorphism>
well I'm not sure. But just mentally draw a line perpendicular to the runway, and go the opposite direction of the buildings
<awang>
What series of events led you to that image?

has anyone seen a hab module for extended orion missions? i'm designing a new ship and want to get the proportions right, but can't remember the name of the design
<A1Tubb>
The deep space habitat maybe?
<patamorphism>
I was thinking that, but it was just a single module not the whole station, like just the MPLM
<A1Tubb>
Ah, fair enough, something like eyes turned skywards' apollo mission module?
<A1Tubb>
but for orion
<patamorphism>
Yeah something like that, thanks
<A1Tubb>
No problem, I hope you find it, but I'll keep looking too

Hey guys, a quick word to let you know the survey that I've adressed to KSP modders last month is still online at https://goo.gl/forms/1vrkPYH4az8l32sb2 . Please take 10 minutes to fill it. It will help immeasurably and be much appreciated ;^)
<awang>
How do I figure out what the performance of a jet engine will actually be?
<awang>
Like the editor says a turbojet has ~16 kN thrust, but I get ~12 in flight
<awang>
Not enough intake air?
<awang>
Bad fuel mixture?
<A1Tubb>
I think it may be due to altitude, but I'm not sure, I think 16KN is at sea level
<xShadowx>
Asymptote: you forgot to ask SS# and mothers name
<xShadowx>
whyyy would one need all that info o.O
<A1Tubb>
Also, apparently as airspeed increases, net thrust decreases, due to the air coming out of the engine not being able to move faster than the speed of sound
<Bornholio>
starwaster cool -tan, new mission flag for fairy flight career :)
<awang>
A1Tubb: 12 kN was on the runway, interestingly
<awang>
Basically right at liftoff
<awang>
Didn't know about the airspeed/thrust relation, though
<Asymptote>
lol, I was totally looking for a channel to join right now.
<xShadowx>
a jok b/c you ask nearly everything else
<Asymptote>
Yup. As I did last month.

whyyy
<Asymptote>
A few people have completed it and thanks to Sarbian, it's stayed in the OP, but I still need more replies
<xShadowx>
whyyy
<Asymptote>
Because empirical evidences are the backbone of any research and only you can provide it at this point ;^)
<xShadowx>
research of ?
<Asymptote>
Oh I study open source strategies in the game software's industry. I'm questionning how modding communities emerge relatively to co-development strategy with an emphasis on social and technical practices. I've chosen to observe KSP as a field case study.
<Maxsimal_>
!tell NathanKell: B9 wing tanks can be a pretty good cheat, early on, mass/weight ratio can be better than tank 1's.
<Qboid>
Maxsimal_: I'll redirect this as soon as they are around.
<Qboid>
Bornholio: I'll redirect this as soon as they are around.
<Bornholio>
fully expect its something dumb i did, but i'm out of ideas
<Asymptote>
Is the "!tell" command supposed to postpone a message to NathanKell so he gets it when he returns from AFK?
Probus__ has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<Maxsimal_>
yeah, when he says anything qboid will repeat the message
<A1Tubb>
That is a really great idea
<Bornholio>
the name feild will take wildcard * and multiple names with comma seperation ( and no spaces)
<Asymptote>
Sounds like qboid comes in handy

This should be fun: http://imgur.com/a/Ldp2X From the runway, you can zip up for a quick little hop and use the chutes to land. But I'm really hoping to stick this on top of an A-4 :)
<Slavi>
SpecimenSpiff: that looks really sweet - just make sure you don't blow yourself up by forgetting to put big fins near the base of the A4
<Slavi>
Also, use the A9 or bust.
<Starwaster>
hmmmmm I wonder, do eclipses affect radiation at all?
<xShadowx>
since the sun gives off radiation, and eclipses block it, yes
SirKeplan|AFK is now known as SirKeplan
<xShadowx>
and magnetic field of the moon manipulating earth's field, so merely the motion of the moon effects it
