03:40 <queqiao-> ⟨S​umguy⟩ so, I just started using principia. Any tricks to make the experience more user-friendly? What I've tried so far is making a MJ maneuver, then copying the info from that into the flight plan and tweaking from there.

03:40 <queqiao-> ⟨S​umguy⟩ kinda tedious imo

03:40 <queqiao-> ⟨S​umguy⟩ a little tedious imo (edited)

07:20 <queqiao-> ⟨l​eudaimon⟩ learn how the different plotting frames work, and you won't need MJ to plot maneuvers, even when going interplanetary... https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia/wiki/Concepts

11:29 <queqiao-> ⟨S​umguy⟩ I mean more for wanting a certain apoapsis. Is it just trial and error, typing in numbers as you get closer and closer?

11:31 <queqiao-> ⟨b​ongotastic⟩ It is a refinement game: the delta V and timing sliders are on some kind of log scale so you can scan parameters pretty well.

11:31 <queqiao-> ⟨S​tonesmile⟩ The exponential behaviour of the sliders make it quite easy to plan nodes from my experience

11:33 <queqiao-> ⟨b​ongotastic⟩ to me, finding the solution is paying the game. Of course, getting the timing perfect is a pipedream is your burn ends at a high TWR.... you can slowdown to 0.2X with Better Warp, and even then sometimes.

11:46 <queqiao-> ⟨B​utcher⟩ Plan to tune with RCS IMO.

19:21 <queqiao-> ⟨P​aculino (ŝi/ri/she/they)⟩ While also planning to use slowed physics

19:54 <queqiao-> ⟨Z​eusbeer⟩ RCS is super nice anyway, it allows you to tune in all axis without having to turn your spacecraft (with the omni-direction rcs that is)

19:54 <queqiao-> ⟨Z​eusbeer⟩ you just have to try all the rcs buttons to see what works

21:36 <queqiao-> ⟨K​obymaru⟩ So what's the deal with PotatoRoids in Principia? Is it enabled? Does the spawning work? Does it overload Principia if there's too many?

21:38 <queqiao-> ⟨D​amien⟩ principia doesn't disable potatoroids, having potatoroids on does cause a slight performance hit because they're technically vessels, spawning does work

21:39 <queqiao-> ⟨D​amien⟩ and it's really cool to watch them spawn and get captured/ejected by the earth

21:39 <queqiao-> ⟨l​pg⟩ the faq _recommends_ disabling them, for performance reasons

22:13 <queqiao-> ⟨K​obymaru⟩ Ok, thanks

22:13 <queqiao-> ⟨K​obymaru⟩ I've been considering visiting one

22:14 <queqiao-> ⟨K​obymaru⟩ Maybe I'll wait for the History recalc

23:26 <queqiao-> ⟨F​alcon⟩ @egg if i may ask, what do you do for a living, or what did you do for schooling?

23:27 <queqiao-> ⟨F​alcon⟩ that which allowed you to understand and write the mod?
