Columbus could believe that he is going to cross a 30 000 or a 60 000 km wide ocean, but after he had arrived, he knew exactly, what distance separates him from the Europe. And especially, several crossings later. So, he could be telling everybody that he visited China, but he definitely was aware that it is "another China". It makes even more impossible for Columbus to believe in a 60 000 km wide China.

Please see my post earlier in this thread. Europeans believed the Earth to be about 26000 km in diameter up until Magellan's expedition sailed across the Pacific 25 years after Columbus. Magellan himself expected the Pacific to be a small sea separating the Americas from Asia. It scared the *crap* out of them when they ended up sailing for 40 days across it to reach more familiar lands. (Magellan's slave could speak Malay and found that he could speak with some of the people where they first made landfall, near the modern day Phillipines, so they knew they' d reached somewhere close to the Malaccas.)

Granted. Then one Kerbal on Tylo will be wishing to respawn on the Earth.

Believe what you want, I guess, but Columbus was not aware of the correct radius of the Earth, even though it had been pretty accurately calculated more than 1000 years before him. That's why he had so much trouble finding backers who were willing to fund his expedition -- most everyone else was aware that China was much farther away than Columbus believed it to be.

Breaking the rules is exactly what they call cheating.

They should use a vacuum cleaner. It's a lot of vacuum around. Used astronaut diapers. This should also save the mass of the lunar ship by absence of toilet. *** Btw, has anyone suggested a broom? Of course, we know that there are no dust clouds in vacuum. A long broom with an alpenstock at the opposite end. An a PP-duster for fine cleaning. By nuking it first, they can have a flat lake of glass.

Mi-28 has a radio compartment, also purposed for the evacuation of 2 (3 if tamp) people, or bail out a squad of hobbitroopers.

I believe that a person who crossed the ocean, was enough experienced in star navigation and thus aware of the Earth radius to understand that no China can be 30 000 km across. Exactly like Drake and others unlikely could believe in West India and East India occupying similar territory together. It's another question that they called every non-Bibleic land "China" or "India", and were keeping in secret everything possible to help their competitors with finding the lands they had found. Nobody was declaring "All! Look, we have found Australia! But we won't tell you where it is!" All of them got used to keep the tongue behind the teeth. So, like in the USSR there were cities like Chelyabinsk and Chelyabinsk-70, Arzamas and Arzamas-16, Moscow and Moscow-400 and so on, separated with hundreds kilometers, read their "China" as "China-92", and "India" as "India-12" and "India-14", or "a china", "an india".

Fantastic news! My craft has been causing all kinds of issues with Dv calculations... I want to ask why saving/reloading screws my dV calculations as well, is this something you guys have seen internally? I have a craft that causes it 100% of the time so if not I can send that to you guys to test with as well

Quite a few things have changed since then.

The first rule of cheating is to not talk about cheating. Which means everyone in this thread is breaking the first rule, and therefore cheating.

Don Dokken ban for being a Dream Warrior.

Granted. Everything else in KSP is now worse. I wish to be a Kerbal who respawns on Tylo when I die.

More specifically Blue Archive (Japanese: ブルーアーカイブ; Korean: 블루 아카이브; Chinese: 蔚蓝档案) is a South Korean role-playing game developed by Nexon Games (formerly NAT Games), a subsidiary of Nexon. It was released in 2021 for Android and iOS, first in Japan by Yostar and worldwide later that year by Nexon.[2] The game is free-to-playwith gacha game mechanics as a means to obtain new characters. An anime television series adaptation titled Blue Archive The Animationpremiered in April 2024. 212004263024

Just looked it up it looks like just another anime game.

Would be nice if they would at some point remember to post those kind of responses here in the forum. Just saying.

Columbus didn't, and it's true that he died convinced he'd found Asia, but several Icelanders made pilgrimages to Rome in the 11th century, with knowledge of the existence of lands to the west. Gudrid the Far-Traveled even became a nun in Rome after having given birth to the first European in Vinland (which was likely located in modern day Nova Sotia or New Brunswick). If the church was paying attention, they would have known of the existence of North America, 500 years before Columbus. (And they probably were paying attention, but were like "meh"...)

Are you using the latest release? I think I had fixed this here: https://github.com/net-lisias-ksp/DistantObject/issues/38 I will give this a peek before bedtime, but it will help to publish your current KSP.log (after reproducing the problem, and after quitting KSP to prevent the log from being truncated) it will surely help on the diagnosing. === == = POST EDIT I just fired up my "Acceptance" (acp ) test bed, where I have installed all the add'ons I publish on the latest releases, and... It's working for me. It was a pretty simple test (hey, I sleep now and then and I'm already done for today): Fired up KSP 1.12.5 (acp) Loaded the DOE's smoke test savegame Opened the DOE's Settings Dialog Set Show names on mousever to off (i.e., unticked the check box). It was On at that time. Pressed Apply Quit KSP Load it (again) Loaded the DOES's smoke test savegame (again) Opened the DOE's Settings Dialog (again) The Show names on mousever is still off. Just to be on the safe side, I also used the Tracking Station to jump into a living spacecraft and the option not only was still deactivated when I checked the Dialog, the feature itself wasn't active as expected. Activating the feature on the Settings made it work again, so the cycle is closed. So: there's something fishy in your rig; or your are using an old DOE's release (just checked SpaceDock and CurseForge, I confirm they have the latest); or there's something that you are not telling me on the bug report (perhaps a use case that I had messed up, and that wasn't tested by this simple test session I did). So please send me your KSP.log so I can check the options 1 and 2, and please describe step by step (like I did above) how to reproduce the problem, so we can rule out (or not) the option 3.

As in. They’re not going to make it so that you can’t plan past Dv again once they fix the calculations. A lot of people were worried about that.

What is Blue Archive?

So they plan to remove it, improve it, then not implement it? wut?

I'm having an issue with settings reverting every time I restart ksp. When I make changes in the UI settings dialogue, and hit apply, they persist through scene changes and even going back to the main menu and reloading a save. But no matter what I do, including manually editing both the settings.cfg files in the DistantObject and DistantObject/PluginData, somehow the settings are all reverted to defaults every time I reload ksp.
