⟨test_account9540⟩ A non-issue because of how kerbalism works, Your vessel's orientation stays the same while it's unloaded
<queqiao->
Slow rotation only happens when you're at the vessel and you can spin stabilize it to point to the sun during that (usually brief) time
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ +for the purpose of calculating solar panel output
<queqiao->
⟨Joshua Wood⟩ spin at 5rpm = problem solved

⟨ezsnack⟩ i spin at 1.5 lol

⟨kaborl⟩ Tbh, I think the performance of my computer is very very good when near the Moon...
<queqiao->
⟨kaborl⟩ I do notice something strange. Right after crashing, the battery check fails. However, to me that makes sense since the vessel has now disappeared LOL.
<queqiao->
⟨kaborl⟩ Is there an easy way to record a video? Do you think that might help for troubleshooting?

⟨makoivis⟩ any tips for doing gravity assists with Principia + KSP? what do I need to take into account to make it successful, do I need to wait for certain conjunction dates to make them possible at all? I'm trying to do an Earth => Venus Fly-by => Mars Fly-by mission
<queqiao->
⟨makoivis⟩ a good way to make things stable is to have three handles instead of two, that works even if it would otherwise be prone to flipping
<queqiao->
⟨kaborl⟩ Thanks Siimav!
<queqiao->
If anyone is interested... here is the video of the crash. You can also see that nearby the crash, the framerate is of 60fps. I've also removed the most boring parts.
<queqiao->
⟨kaborl⟩ That's my impression too, indeed.
<queqiao->
⟨Joshua Wood⟩ you are under 3500m for like 5s haha should be plenty of time :p i impacted the moon and survived recently and it still counted it...
<queqiao->
⟨lancisman⟩ One workaround solution I sometimes use when contracts bug like this is to cheat complete them, since it's a bug I personally don't consider it cheating
<queqiao->
⟨kaborl⟩ I'll post the video in RSSReborn, maybe Fox has an opinion about it too.
<queqiao->
⟨benjamin9511⟩ Probably a question someone has already asked. But would it be worth it for in my RP1 with principia game to build a relay satellite that will sit in the Earth moon L2 point to act as a relay for the far side of the moon?
<queqiao->
⟨makoivis⟩ Yes, but the orbits are only quasi-stable so you will have to do periodic station-keeping
<queqiao->
⟨butcher6994⟩ It's not beyond the realms of possibility that RSS reborn is throwing off the altitude check.
<queqiao->
⟨makoivis⟩ you can see when it starts to diverge and schedule a maneuver then to keep it around the L2 point and use KAC
<queqiao->
⟨lancisman⟩ Forgot to say but it's active contracts section of the alt-f12 menu
<queqiao->
⟨butcher6994⟩ I have done it, it was a chore in practice since you tend to have to station keep roughly every 30 days.
<queqiao->
⟨butcher6994⟩ I found sticking a few relays in DRO was a better solution. They were stable for years or decades and gave adequate coverage.
<queqiao->
⟨benjamin9511⟩ What's DRO?
<queqiao->
⟨lancisman⟩ Distant retrograde orbit
<queqiao->
⟨kaborl⟩ Why retrograde orbit would make a difference?
<queqiao->
⟨benjamin9511⟩ Is that retrograde around earth or the moon?
<queqiao->
⟨raptop | ²³⁹Pu powered⟩ Retrograde around the Moon, and you get better stabbity from the perturbations being shorter in duration (IIRC)
<queqiao->
⟨raptop | ²³⁹Pu powered⟩ ...though it occurs to me that there's nothing stopping you from trying to put something in a distant retrograde Earth orbit
<queqiao->
⟨lancisman⟩ A DRO is also interesting because it can allow some interesting orbit shapes, such as a square, pentagon, hexagon and so on.
<queqiao->
⟨lancisman⟩ * on, until it's basically a circle iirc

⟨ezsnack⟩ does principia have any hotkeys? like to open the main window without scrolling or the plotting frame selection? if not why not
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ No, because no-one did anything to make that happen, because this does not sound particularly fun to do.

⟨butcher6994⟩ Around the moon, though technically it's outside the hill sphere so it's in an earth orbit that happens to look like a lunar orbit.

<queqiao->
⟨butcher6994⟩ The main advantages are being high enough above the moon to get good line of sight to earth for almost all of the orbit and stability.
<queqiao->
⟨ezsnack⟩ also is there a better way to cheat an orbit than hack gravity => set orbit => enable gravity again
_whitelogger_ has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<queqiao->
⟨siimav⟩ Someone should patch the stock tool to do that automatically when Principia is installed.

⟨test_account9540⟩ Let's say there is a kerbal on a ladder, on a ship that is in orbit...
<queqiao->
The kerbal can move up and down the ladder, and his orbital parameters change accordingly when he moves. When he stops moving, the original orbit is restored (No ladder drive).
<queqiao->
But why does the kerbal remain on the ladder? What keeps him there?
<queqiao->
(does the game just forcibly set his location to be on the ladder, without applying forces etc., and principia lets that happen instead of making him fly away?)
_whitelogger_ has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<queqiao->
⟨Kirk (He/Him)⟩ I'm pretty sure Kraken drives work fine in Principia
<queqiao->
⟨Kirk (He/Him)⟩ Because yeah, KSP just applies force to the Kerbal and vessel to try and keep them appropriately aligned
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ They do not.
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ ah, so when the kerbal goes outside the allowed area on the ladder, a force is applied to return him to that area?
<queqiao->
⟨Kirk (He/Him)⟩ Huh, really?
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ Ripping out half the game helps with making more principled.
