It's such a fine rocket, you'd hate to have it get up there, just to tear up, as it'd cause everyone else to, as well. Tear up, I mean. -

Remember, the main reason for hex tiles in the first place, is to prevent hypersonic plasma being channeled in a straight line... I'm not sure of a solution to the curvature problem, personally, but trapezoids and half hexes don't seem to be the answer, considering the reason for initial shape choice. -
This fact is the only thing keeping it from being more than a small voice, but it'd be cool to stack an FL-T100 full of LF (thanks to nert's config) and put three FL-T tanks with non-cryo "oxidizer" (a 400, 200, and 100) to get a perfect burn...
-
I guess I could, and no, not unless the ReStock+ folks add one! It's more to do with the fact that I like a granularity somewhere between RealFuels and stock, using pretty much all of Nertea's mods to do so, and the supposition that the oxidizer in LF/O was oxygen, but the mix ratio being off, in addition to boiloff being handwaved, bugged me slightly. a while ago, I'd read on the Add-on discussion someone's suggestion that RP-1/HTP was the fuel being represented, and it shut the voice in the back of my head up for a good while, until I did some digging, and found the mix ratio in documentation. Now, the little beast won't let me build in peace, nagging that "It's still not quite right..." whenever I put an LF/O rocket together.

A question, any chance of a brit style rebalance of existing LF/O rockets to a 1/7 fuel ox ratio, simulating RP-1 and HTP?

It's folks like you that are keeping it that way, shut up about it. Gods, it's like Half-Life 3 all over again! -
As a final point, I'll let Dr. Kirby Runyon speak for himself, from the past...

Well, I do. I'll admit, however, that I follow the Geophysical Planet Definition put forward by some planetary scientists, the folks who should define the category in the first place. So there.

[1.12.x] Kerbin Date Calendar Recalculated
grungar3x7 replied to linuxgurugamer's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
Those calculations are all based on sidereal periods, but for a monthly observance, like a new mün or new minmus, one should use the synodic period instead, if my reading is correct.
