Sir Mortimer. — Why do people complain about the game being too hard after two releases making it EASIER than it was before?
<UmbralRaptor>
is this like how people complained about the new small srb being underpowered because they expected a bigger flea or sepratron instead of a high Δv (for small upper stages) part?
<discord->
DRVeyl. — People complain about funny things. 🙂 Let them, it's amusing?

RurouniDonut. — @egg Is there a way to manually delete history of a spacecraft? In the save file perhaps
<discord->
egg. — nope
<discord->
lpg. — is there a way to manually delete history of _all_ spacecraft at once? or is that data mixed with other important things in the persisted state?
<discord->
RurouniDonut. — Welp, I hope interplanetary crafts history isn’t too scary with the performance impact
Jesin has quit [Ping timeout: 190 seconds]
<discord->
egg. — it's not the interplanetary crafts that are going to be a problem
<discord->
egg. — it's the LEO stuff
<discord->
egg. — @lpg deleting the entire Principia state is likely to make Principia unhappy; don't
<discord->
egg. — we'll need to figure something out eventually
<discord->
egg. — @RurouniDonut @lpg actually there is a way to clear the history of a spacecraft: switch to that spacecraft, hack gravity, and unhack gravity
<discord->
egg. — it's hacky
<discord->
lpg. — ooh clever
<discord->
egg. — @RurouniDonut but don't do it tbh
<discord->
RurouniDonut. — Alright, thanks!
<discord->
egg. — the interplanetary spacecraft aren't the ones that are going to eat your disk
<discord->
egg. — because their trajectories are much straighter, they'll be much more compact
<raptop>
But a Galileo or Cassini equivalent would?

<discord->
egg. — well, yes, but you probably have fewer of them than LEO sats
<discord->
egg. — and their histories are more interesting
<discord->
egg. — so the ones whose histories you should be clearing are really the LEO sats
<discord->
RurouniDonut. — Gotcha
<discord->
RurouniDonut. — I'm deleting old spacecraft so the performance is fine for now
<discord->
RurouniDonut. — But once I have sats that are constantly collecting Kerbalism science I wonder how performance will be affected then

<discord->
egg. — yeah, we'll need to come up with something.
<discord->
egg. — not sure how to address it though; we want to avoid what was happening with the old history length setting, where people were deleting the interesting histories without a second thought
<discord->
egg. — and obviously the ones that you might want to get rid of are those of the many boring sats, so if we have a way to individually clear histories it's going to be very tedious to go through those
<discord->
egg. — perhaps we could forget the bits that are purely under the influence of gravity, and recompute them on-demand? that's going to require lots of design work anyway
