⟨Proton | Mod.ROTanks Protester⟩ What is "Active Engines, Active RCS" and most IMPORTANTLY, "Instant Impulse"
<queqiao->
⟨Proton | Mod.ROTanks Protester⟩ Also, is there any sort of guide for maneuver planning with unguided kick stages like ABL Altair X-248?
<queqiao->
⟨zephyr⟩ Active engines and inertially fixed iirc
<queqiao->
⟨zephyr⟩ Active engines means the manuver planner takes the engines into account for planning (as opposed to doing the burn with rcs which would be more relevant when doing rendezvous)
<queqiao->
⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ No proper way to flight plan with any kind of solid motor, really. Instant impulse + spin-stabilization + inertially fixed and guess the correct dV. (And hope that variance doesn't throw you off too much.)
<queqiao->
⟨zephyr⟩ Would it actually be instant impluse? Does active engines not take thrust curves into account?
<queqiao->
⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ The problem is that the SRM doesn't count as active before firing it...
<queqiao->
⟨zephyr⟩ Right, rip i guess
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ (unless you ahem do something about that)
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ no , just exposure to 🧀 accusations

Raptop, what does +o mean before your username?
<raptop>
that I have ops, so cna do various stuff with messing with channel settings, do the mod thing of kick/ban, etc
