UmbralRaptor changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is Darboux. We currently target 1.3.1, and 1.4.3. <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell out | https://xkcd.com/323/

I'm kind of surprised you can still get away with playing KSP on a 32-bit computer

Wait, does KSP 1.4 still support 32-bit?
<egg|trappist|egg>
no
<egg|trappist|egg>
wait KSP?
<egg|trappist|egg>
I don't know

principia doesn't

gives GregroxMun a panzer equality/nabla hybrid
<GregroxMun>
Can I see the configs you're using to modify SLIPPIST-1?
<GregroxMun>
oh yeay
<GregroxMun>
yay*
<GregroxMun>
I haven't used a qboid weapon in over half a year
<egg|zzz|egg>
GregroxMun: we haven't written them yet
<GregroxMun>
oh
<GregroxMun>
well
<egg|zzz|egg>
but structurally, it's something like
<egg|zzz|egg>
%gravParameter = <0.89 solar masses> etc.
<GregroxMun>
right
<egg|zzz|egg>
not sure why you called your thing aSLIPPIST-1
<egg|zzz|egg>
but well now you can't rename it because that would break our :AFTER :-p

I do that for Sigma Dimensions compatibility, at one point (maybe still true) SD couldn't overwrite anything after "SIGMA" or something like that.

Fun
<GregroxMun>
the actual reason is a superstitious fear of low letters :P
<GregroxMun>
are you using a full scale TRAPPIST-1?
<egg|zzz|egg>
yup
<egg|zzz|egg>
we're using the real deal, fitted to the real observations with our own optimization code
<egg|zzz|egg>
which seems to fit as well or better than what the authors of "The nature of the TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets" are using :-p
<egg|zzz|egg>
(we'll see what happens when we try randomly distributed small Ω rather than Ω = 0, there is some tuning to do
<GregroxMun>
Ω = ?
<egg|zzz|egg>
longitude of ascending node
<GregroxMun>
right
<egg|zzz|egg>
ω = argument of periapsis, M = mean anomaly

(note that the convention in transit exoplanetology is that the reference plane is the plane of the sky (viewed from Earth), not the plane of the system
<egg|zzz|egg>
so all inclinations are close to 90 degrees
<egg|zzz|egg>
and all Ωs are very close together
<GregroxMun>
right, I think I discovered that in Space Engine
<egg|zzz|egg>
there's a practical reason for that
<GregroxMun>
are you setting it up as a destination star or will it remain the starting system?
<egg|zzz|egg>
it will be the starting system
<egg|zzz|egg>
it will be a fun system to be in on its own
<GregroxMun>
oh yes
<egg|zzz|egg>
you are on an Earth-sized planet which is speeding along at absurd speeds
<egg|zzz|egg>
I strongly recommend using RO if you want to go anywhere :-p
<GregroxMun>
I was tempted to give Echo a moon so you'd have an easier way of refueling in orbit
<egg|zzz|egg>
aiui any moons are unstable there
<egg|zzz|egg>
(I mean, it's crowded)
<GregroxMun>
I'm aware
<egg|zzz|egg>
nah, it's just RSS hardmode :D
<GregroxMun>
No moon, huge interplanetary delta-v
<GregroxMun>
I remember someone thought TRAPPIST-1 would be a great hybrid of RSS and Kerbol
<egg|zzz|egg>
going to Jupiter is too easy, go to TRAPPIST-1b and TRAPPIST-1h :D
<GregroxMun>
they made a post on the reddit
<GregroxMun>
they thought the delta-v would be lower because of the smaller scale
<egg|zzz|egg>
hahahha
<GregroxMun>
but no it's just way worse
<egg|zzz|egg>
so fast
