UmbralRaptop changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is 🐇. 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…

<discord-> S​tandecco. — Is there a fundamental reason why principia is so complicated or is it just a consequence of it being a mod of a game rather than being native?
<discord-> S​tandecco. — In other words, would a hypothetical KSP 43 (when the average IQ will be the equivalent of today's 150 and no one will complain) with native n-body have to be as complicated as principia?
<egg|cell|egg> A lot of it is intrinsic
<egg|cell|egg> Doing it in a way that doesn't numerically break down is nontrivial
<discord-> e​gg. — If you're talking about things like the mean elements, ksp isn't a concern anymore
<discord-> e​gg. — It's all about coming up with a robust way to compute reasonably behaved elements from a trajectory, all within our astronomy library
<discord-> e​gg. — I worked 6 months on that, and it had nothing to do with ksp
<discord-> e​gg. — It's just astronomy
<discord-> e​gg. — @Standecco If you're talking about things like the mean elements, ksp isn't a concern anymore (edited)
<discord-> e​gg. — The rotations business will eventually run into ksp induced problems, but for now pleroy has just spent months on the fact that rigid body rotation is complicated
<discord-> S​ir Mortimer. — btw friendly reminder, your deadline for this is in 10 days https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia/issues/2347
<discord-> e​gg. — @Sir Mortimer not quite, the next new moon is on the 28th
<discord-> S​ir Mortimer. — Ah, very well then 🙂
<discord-> e​gg. — the original issue is weird, but so is the reply to it
<discord-> e​gg. — that cites a forum post that contradicts what is being said

<discord-> S​umguy. — so, I hit merge node, and it doesn't actually change anything. it just deletes the second node.
<egg|work|egg> merge node? what's that

<discord-> e​gg. — @Sir Mortimer oh gods it keeps going
<discord-> S​ir Mortimer. — I suggest to close the issue after you replied thusly:

<discord-> e​gg. — @Sir Mortimer what do you think about the documentation of the orbit analyser? I feel like it nicely ties into our mission design ideas
