egg changed the topic of #principia to: Logs: https://esper.irclog.whitequark.org/principia | <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…

⟨Mudkip909 | 𒀱 supporter⟩ i know principias fps can get bad, but how tf is it THIS bad
<queqiao->
⟨Mudkip909 | 𒀱 supporter⟩ it started after opening the target view in the map

⟨dimefan09⟩ Sheesh

⟨Starcatcher⟩ How to select a planet as target in Principia?
<queqiao->
⟨Transparent_Elemental⟩ click on it in the map view if you have all required ground infrastructure upgrades
<queqiao->
⟨Starcatcher⟩ ⟪Transparent_Elemental⟫ click on it in the map view if you have […] ⮪ right clicked, left clicked. In sandbox mode.
<queqiao->
⟨Starcatcher⟩ It just focus on the planet.
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ ⟪Starcatcher⟫ It just focus on the planet. ⮪ in the principia window, theres a "select target celestial" button, press that, then left click on your target
<queqiao->
⟨Starcatcher⟩ ⟪pEdro⟫ in the principia window, theres a […] ⮪ really? I only see "select target vessel"
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ open the drop down menus
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ its in there somewhere
<queqiao->
⟨scimas⟩ You cannot "target" celestials with Principia, that's what reference frames are for. Unless you are landed, then you can target just like in stock.
<queqiao->
⟨Transparent_Elemental⟩ you absolutely can target celestials, target system is still used for mechjeb's PVG
<queqiao->
⟨Transparent_Elemental⟩ but yeah, I didn't know it was based on whether you're landed or not
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ It might be of some use for non-Principia systems, but as scimas points out the need for targeting celestials is very limited: reference frames are what you want.
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ * appropriately switching between reference frames is
<queqiao->
⟨Starcatcher⟩ ⟪egg⟫ It might be of some use for […] ⮪ i use mechjeb2, it needs to target a specfic planet for the manœuvre
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ yeah; this sort of thing is why the option still exists.
<queqiao->
⟨Starcatcher⟩ I decided to just crash into Neptune lol
<queqiao->
apparently my second stage still got too much delta v to spare, so I need a way to consume it, for fun
<queqiao->
⟨Starcatcher⟩ It uses a Bimodal NTR, Hydrolox
