⟨Mudkip909 | 𒀱⟩ ⟪Butcher⟫ Out...side? What is this madness you […] ⮪ outside is a vast world in ksp which has yet to exist irl
<queqiao->
⟨Milly⟩ I was pretty sure outside was the relatively rubbish screensaver on my Windows of my office.
<queqiao->
⟨kcalbsphere⟩ ⟪Proton | Mod.ROTanks Protester⟫ Nice! In my opinion, Principia manovs […] ⮪ Yeah, and especially fine-tuning them. But just like IRL, it's not the calculations and planning that are difficult, it's the difficulty if execution that makes trajectory tuning so hard.
<queqiao->
⟨kcalbsphere⟩ * of
<queqiao->
⟨kcalbsphere⟩ I have the most trouble with RCS severely offsetting my trajectory, and thus i cannot really point the good way for a maneuver because by the time i get to the point, my trajectory is severely offset and i have to create a new flight plan
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ Such offsets are not an issue, whatever offset RCS caused can be easily fixed by RCS corrections after the maneuver
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ Unless of course the burn is an unguided kick stage 😬
<queqiao->
⟨Kalpyy⟩ I generally bring the small orbital maneuvering thrusters for this
<queqiao->
⟨Proton | Mod.ROTanks Protester⟩ I got a big question here. I'm playing on principia, for some reason my lunar orbiter just stops responding for a while even though I have communications and full control of the probe (yes, avionics are enabled)
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ can't be caused by principia, also what does it mean - stop responding?
<queqiao->
⟨Proton | Mod.ROTanks Protester⟩ Nevermind, I think I know the issue. Lack of axis for RCS
<queqiao->
⟨Proton | Mod.ROTanks Protester⟩ Mechjeb doesn't rotate the craft.
<queqiao->
⟨kcalbsphere⟩ ⟪Proton | Mod.ROTanks Protester⟫ I got a big question here. I'm playing […] ⮪ Are your avionics set to "deep space"?
<queqiao->
⟨kcalbsphere⟩ Anything above twice the geostationary distance will require deep-space avionics to be controllable
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ Some people need to be muted. This is one of them.
<queqiao->
⟨kcalbsphere⟩ Can you please stop your toxicity and explain what i did wrong instead?
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ Can't you please stop you idiocy and start reading other people's messages? Like this one: "Nevermind, I think I know the issue. Lack of axis for RCS"
<queqiao->
⟨kcalbsphere⟩ "I think i know the issue"
<queqiao->
⟨kcalbsphere⟩ That means that a person is not sure. Providing information is always better than leaving someone to figure a problem on their own.
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ "for some reason my lunar orbiter just stops responding for a while" implies that the orbiter was responding, then responds again
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ this can't happen with LEO avionics in lunar orbit
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ this too: "(yes, avionics are enabled)"
<queqiao->
⟨kcalbsphere⟩ Avionics can display a message saying that there are no control in rapid time warp. It can be misleading for people.
