Was it?

Imitating the upcoming IVA feature as if it's gonna be in 0.2 is 100% misleading and I'm not sure where the "it's only deceitful if the lie is explicit" attitude people have is coming from. A message can be sent through inference and there's a reason the history of cinema isn't just characters telling the meaning of the story into the camera. I think it's completely daft to think the marketing team is in the clear just because there's no outright explicit lies in the tweet. It's still misleading and built to trick people into thinking IVA is going to be in 0.2. It sure as hell tripped me for a second when I saw the tweet.

Why is this controversial? Is it not the marketing team's job to keep in mind people will infer things that are not literally said? If the marketing team keeps showing IVAs done with a frankly stupid workaround and has to keep posting "these aren't actually IVAs" they're doing a crap job and should stick to demonstrating things that are implemented already.

The second clip is no longer relevant; So they're killing the thrust this time, and for clear reasons they begin to drift.

Maybe you ran out of power? I'm not sure what useful information the implied yelling is supposed to convey.

If we go that complex, I'd rather opt for hydrogen tanks being bare and the current standalone trusses having attachment nodes on the inside for tanks and utilities.

Yeah, cause two objects don't qualify as being in the same orbit just because they're within a distance of each other.

Ah, right, because having to append a "sorry we didn't mean to advertise this unimplemented feature" tweet isn't a red flag.

@Dakota I don't usually ping the importants for anything, but surely it's not important to make sure the right messages are being communicated when posting material? The team is just setting traps up to hurt themselves with later here. In-cockpit views don't need advertising until it's an actual feature. Right?

Ah, yes, say it explicitly later then it's perfectly fine. The James Somerton method

They never said it's IVA so no, it isn't. A marketing team doesn't have to explicitly say something for it to be misleading.

Blender and Cura let you position the camera arbitrarily when in ortho mode and I assume the same goes for most other CAD software so I have no idea why the default behaviour here is to snap you out of ortho mode if you face away from one of the cardinal directions. Please don't fix.

I'm saying your working somewhat minced the point I was making. It was slower, now it's worse. Speed and effectiveness are two different worlds from my understanding of programming and development.

Oh, you do. The previous way you were wording it sounded like the complete opposite; This is probably the bit that confused me, cause I never said they'd be faster or slower.

...why use, and I quote if the marks don't make it evident, "100 idiots" to describe the dev team if that's "not what I was getting at".

Okay, well "100 idiots" is a blatant oversimplification of the dev team and you're not gonna see results by throwing them out and replacing them with more developers than before, and whoever is saying that "100 idiots don't make up for 10 trained individuals" isn't me.

I'm literally saying the opposite. What's being assumed here?

I'm trying for a serious convo as well. 100 people don't make a baby in 0.09 months. 100 programmers don't work 100x faster than 1. I don't know what part you're not understanding.

100 pregnant people don't make another person in 0.09 months.

The analogy becomes quite obvious with the context, which is not included in the part you quoted. The analogy is explaining that 100 developers aren't faster than 10 and also that training a new team would be a colossal timesink.

Because you need a signal to use a probe.

I think this looks extremely inconsistent. I'd redesign it from the ground up, keeping symmetry in mind. Instead of mixing an uneven octagon with curved gauges whose curves are wobbly and inconsistent, I'd either follow the template of the original navball, elements that conform to concentric circles, or make the entire element a square and make the gauges out of rectangles.

Even if you properly shut the engines off, you are not in the same orbit as your target and you should still slowly drift away over a period of several minutes. Being within 100m and having no relative velocity does not qualify as being in the same orbit. Also "stationkeeping" isn't a synonym for "staying perfectly still relative to another object". It's "staying roughly still relative to another object via active counteraction of external force". I wonder why they came up with a word which describes this. It's almost like two distant craft follow different paths.

Okay then. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts though when you've actually interacted with the feature you're promoting for 2.

Okay, but have you actually played with a LS mod? Or is this just coming from the image you have in your head of what it might be like? Nope.
