UmbralRaptor changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is del Ferro. We currently target 1.5.1, 1.6.1, and 1.7.x. <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell out | https://xkcd.com/323/ | <egg> calculating the influence of lamont on Pluto is a bit silly…

Myshiko. — Very much the same (“failure to disconnect the vertical speed autopilot”) happened to one of my planes about 2 weeks ago. Time warped a bit too much, and around 100 meters alt tried to level the plane and land. When it failed to arrest the vertical speed of -20m/s and made a small long crater, realized that MechJeb vertical speed autopilot was still on and I was wrestling with it.

Myshiko. — Planes are hard. Navigation in space - easy.

Myshiko. — Back to the Principia core topic: if we (Kerbals) ever get to true inter-stellar flight, it would be rather cool to have real N-body for a group of stars and modeling of gravitational fields when traveling.

Myshiko. — I bet the interactions of gravitational fields of stars rotating around distant galactic center would make a very interesting trajectories

If you're willing to live with extremely long flight times, anyway. Cruise speeds of at least a few percent c would be somewhat less so.
