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…

⟨goblijn22⟩ i designing principia stuff
<queqiao->
⟨goblijn22⟩ i dont even know what kind of bug this is
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ Yes, but whatever it is you are observing has nothing to do with Principia. Please move that budding bug report to a more appropriate channel.

⟨goblijn22⟩ alot of mid course manuvers
<queqiao->
⟨prdxcl⟩ sorry if this is too unrelated, I just thought it was interesting to see; I wonder how they rendered them in '58
<queqiao->
⟨kuzinat0r⟩ Hi! Has anyone used Jupiter's moons for free capture? It's rather easy to get an encounter in the stock KSP, but with principia it gets too laggy when I change the reference frame to Jupiter-Ganimede(when my ship just ended burning in LEO)
<queqiao->
⟨pineconez⟩ well, speed is orbital energy, or something like that
<queqiao->
⟨pineconez⟩ * orbital energy is armor,

⟨mmeridian⟩ It seems like the rcs engine config for the gemini OAMS does not work with principia
<queqiao->
⟨mmeridian⟩ flight planner, when active rcs is selected, and the engines set to "fore by throttle" on, it assumes the engines provide basically zero thrust, which causes burns to take an infinite time
<queqiao->
⟨mmeridian⟩ i searched this issue and found it came up in 2022 with no apparent resolve. i didn't sim this launch beforehand, just switched the thruster 💔
<queqiao->
⟨Kirk (He/Him)⟩ Yeah, Principia doesn't consider RCS to be engines
<queqiao->
⟨Kirk (He/Him)⟩ Which is why the engine version of the OAMS exists
<queqiao->
⟨mmeridian⟩ it works fine with standard rcs pods or thrusters. which is why i wouldn't have thought this one would be different
<queqiao->
⟨mmeridian⟩ it's okay i am now docked with the target vehicle through the power of instant impulse planning, F5+F9, and strength of will
