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…

lpg. — is it principia that makes crazy flickering orbit lines in map mode to usually disappear after a few seconds? and if so, is there something I can do to _make_ them disappear on the oddball occasion that they don't?
<discord->
lpg. — (orbit lines for planets, that is - at least I think that's what they are)

egg. — @Gregrox in a slightly convoluted way (as far as the active vessel's prediction goes)
<discord->
egg. — but be aware that if you have no vessels, predicting would go just as fast by actually advancing time (timewarping a lot) as it would by advancing a prediction
<discord->
egg. — if you have no vessels, the ephemeris does end up being the limiting factor

egg. — more frames means changes to the frame selector

egg. — Iä! Iä! @Sir Mortimer fhtagn!

egg. — already the 2-body barycentric rotating frame is kinda borked, in that it morally should be the rotating-pulsating frame (but our libraries aren't nicely designed to handle that)
