IF your CoM is considerably above aero (and in the center "horizonatally looking") - then could be 1.8 ? - i have put MASSIVE fairings and TWR of up to ~3 etc (but sometimes you have to launch straight up obviously until atmosphere gets more sparse....) so i don't understand why that would be a problem.
(dunno why it would "flip out" (as opposed to "curve to be downward pointing") also, but would be dependant on word definition.)
if you have had no problems up until 1.8 then this would be suggestive also IMO - as maybe a 1.8 bug in some parts interaction because your rocket is complicated... (may be resolved with different parts or if you built it again ?).
(unless your TWR was way too low in the first place ?)

also don't forget for bug ironing - game crash > log > view data > "fix".

From your quote.
The devil is always in the details
the detail being that this information is generic, and as you should know... can not be omitted due to computers being computers (i.e. without an identification number, then the unidentified people behind the number wouldn't even be able to access the bits of the internet that they wanted............).
an ip address can identify a location, a location AND a ip address, IF PERMITTED BY REGULATORY AUTHORITIES (being "a non corperate entity who have better things to do with their time then looking at boring metadata") can identify a household; not a person; this is not a privay violation................................................................................................. and it's written in international law; so i don't really know what else to say.

90% of the natives in the Americas die in any counterfactual history where they ever make contact with Europeans.
Disease.
/\ this.
but adding to that > the remaining 10% would be superior in every respect to the europeans...

Good argument, until you add enough data, or more than one source. In an age of facebook, no metadata is " meta" for very long.
This arguememt also isn't legally sustainable in the EU anyway, due to the GDPR.
yes it is... and it's not an argument, it's the law:
Quotethis is not in metadata.... - once harvested it is in a metapile in a server somewhere the quantity of information beyond which ones natural brain can not comprehend and can not BEYOND DOUBT (law) be attributed back to person.
- get 5 random persons metadata piles (as opposed to the BILLIONS that is being collected) and the 5 people who it is derived from, and you won't be linking them back correctly, even if you are highly educated.
(get 5 tinfoil hat persons metadata and you successrate may well 0% how fruity the metadata is going to be...)

The RD-0410 is a much smaller engine than the NERVA, having only about 20-25% of the thrust of the NERVA.
it's ALOT better according to my research but they had +20 years or something to develop it...

It was a casual joke.
I have zero personal concerns. Some privacy ethics concerns, yes, but that comes from a different side of me (I work in my retirement occasionally as a freelance security consultant, see my extended post on this below).
oops sorry... makes you wonder what these people do with their computers huh ?
59 minutes ago, R-T-B said:And how this all doesn't violate EU privacy laws is beyond me, my guess is they simply claim they discard data from the EU. But I'd be a skeptic that that always happens.
it is not a "privacy violation" because it is not about the person see "metatdata" "data about data" > if was personal it wouldn't be "meta".
("personal information" is freely available by facebook anyway......................................................).

Supporting the "already sold" doesn't generate revenue
it gives them their fix so they will buy #2 #3 etc.
when is KSP3 coming out anyway ? do you guys know (i heard there was going to be motorboats, aliens, clouds and black holes in it ???).

can you get rid of this please (moaning)

In the steam client, right click on the game in your library list, select properties from the dropdown list, then in the Local files tab select Verify integrity of game cache.
If everything verifies correctly then you should have the latest patched release on the Steam servers.1.8 was stuck on my "will download later" list so i had to activate it somewhow that i can't remember, but hopefully the above will sort it for you.

I mean though, I use Windows 10, so I'm already a dead duck.
windows 10 is great put your tinfoil hat away.
look - it's boring metadata; yes they collect everything and then some, and people get "profiled" - but how many fishes are there in the net ? you need to understand how completely insignificant it actually is.
WHAT I WILL TELL YOU THOUGH:
think about how interesting the juicy metadata behind the IP and DNS block secret more appealling metadata is; that's going to be some real juicy metadata though!.

Egads. Whut?
So if I don't want the owner of the noodle shop on the corner pickpocketing me for a bit of extra cash every time I eat there, I should just stop going outside?
Seriously? The answer to companies grabbing a bit extra on the side at your expense and against your wishes is to disconnect from the internet? Why didn't I think of that.
you stop buying noodles if they taste bad, and report pickpockets to the police.
(clue: you don't own the noodleshop, like you don't own the software (that you have paid for the privelege to use (IN IT'S ENTIRETY) OR yes; you don't use it (on the basis you have no grounds for argument) and do something more productive with your time...

Plato’s warning that our senses are misleading: only with ideas can we get out of the cave and reach the truth. This quest for the truth spans the history of thought, especially in the Western world, in which reason and logic oversee the modes of structuring ‘true’ arguments. For many centuries, God was the standard and ideal through which truth could be understood. From the Renaissance period and continuing into the Enlightenment, divine authority was progressively replaced by science in determining what was true or false. The truth-value associated with science thus increased and mathematics, the ‘queen of sciences’, imposed itself as a model for reasoning.
The Age of Enlightenment (also known as the Age of Reason [sarcasm] or simply the Enlightenment [sarcasm])[1][2] was an intellectual and philosophical movement that dominated the world of ideas in Europe during the 18th century, the *"Century of Philosophy"
(*as according to mathematicians... anyway (...sarcasm))
how come the greeks knew about microbiology prior to microscopes ? (or computers... (on "institutionalised narcissism")
because you know when plato did it already, then immitating it again thereafter x100, through time doesn't infact mean "you did it too" (- it just means you are a egotist).
QuoteThe ideas of the Enlightenment undermined the authority of the monarchy and the Church and paved the way for the political revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries
...and here we are today.
so you need to get it back to when they didn't charge people interest for loans etc... / "do what plato did" BUT instead "wipe out the "age of egotism" (people are going to be butthurt) AND whilst not destroying capitalism (whilst meanwhile teaching kerbals to "stop being capitalists").
or else when wendigo is freed from the pyramid then hell on kerbin etc etc

1) I never gave unity permission to collect said metadata. Doesn't matter that is is boring, or not.
1a) I was given the upgrade and no new agreement for EULA for either Squad/Take2 or Unity. Clearly I did not agree to have my data collected.
2) I have a very fixed amount of bandwidth per month, and a slow(ish) connection. Unity is stealing some of that. Just like Microsoft would, if It could (I use linux). Again without my permission. Will they provide compensation for said data use?
3) Where is their disclosure statements? Where is their Data retention and use policy?
3a) in the US, this is a FTC violation. Maybe a class action should be started? In the EU this is clearly a GDPR issue.
4) As other have said, it is just one more point of potential failure.
5) Changes to the EULA need to be announced and should require a new "Yes I agree" when it changes when we get an update. They f ailed to do this.
#1, #1a, #3, #3a, and #5 are the important ones.
#2 is a problem for some, like myself. Remember not everyone has a good internet connection available to them. I'm lucky to get 1Mbps out of my connection, and the latency is very high (1000ms+). I do not have the option for fiber, cable, or DSL. So those that say this isn't a big deal... Are YOU, Squad/Take2, or Unity going to provide that good internet connection so I can use their game/program without it lagging my connection that is SHARED across several computers? I doubt it, so they better stop stealing my bandwidth and 'you' had better stop saying that their collection isn't a minor or non-issue. It may not affect my gameplay while playing KSP, but it may affect my SO's use of the internet at the time. So it doesn't affect "just me".
"ding ding round 2."
1 / 1a) yes you did, you just didn't read the small print.
2) then turn your internet off; kerbals is a single player game... (you want "compensation" for subjectively choosing to play on computer games whilst leaving your internet on ???)
3/ 3a) here you go - https://unity3d.com/legal/privacy-policy
4) potentially... being very neurotic (might also get hit by a bus.)
5) they don't need to do this, so why would you expect them to do this, when you are already in agreement with them ?
i wish you well trying to take an algorithm to the supreme court (not that if that was even possible, it would have a case to answer...)

Not the poster you quoted, but I'm 100% sure it means, exactly, using your mouse to aim your digital gun at a digital head on your screen, its placement determined by network traffic that may or may not be hindered by KSP gathering metadata in the background.
so they think that microsoft is less "smart" then a "developer, publisher and marketer of interactive entertainment" ?.
damn pesky .txt eating up my 50mb/s internet "GRRRRR" - i would have totally got that headshot...

I was trying to figure this out back when that tweet was made. I can't figure out the 100-125t vs 150 if all are fully resusable, and why the 150t is reference vs the lower mass to LEO.
I guess that the propellant reserves for deorbit and landing must be 25+ tons, so you'd not include them to compare with other rockets that don't reuse S2?
i dunno, but it liquided me off because it sounds very much like "marketing spiel" and people who buildspace ships shouldn't be spieling.
i bet you are right and they referenced the 150mT as absolute max, as you say; by way of "not infact being able to reclaim pieces due to not having the required propellant", ...and then all the nonsense is to "save face" (because it's embarrassing being 33% out and getting called out by morons like myself.).
the "comparing with other rockets" is complete nonsense though; they should have come out and said "our guys shouldn't have been telling you that" it can actually transit payloads of [X]mT.

Actually it could definitely be considered false advertising if they do not put that text there ... by displaying pictures in the loading screen of a released piece of software with pictures made with mods for said software then the company who released said software can be held liable for misrepresenting how the game will look
Period ... do not pass go and do not collect $200
well no because they have pictures of kerbals looking down sticks etc - do we get to pick up sticks and look down them with kerbals ???.
"i like the bit about flying spaceships, but i could not pick up a stick so GIMMEZ MY MONEY BACK"
(further to this point you don't even get to see the pictures prior to buying the game, so it would be nice for the pretty pictures to not be degraded)

Rendering in space is vastly easier than rendering something like a first person game set in a detailed ground environment.
thankyou; one (without knowledge...) would assume - that with a fps (with solid ground), "graphics" can be pre-rendered from prest ?, whereas in space there is no ground and thus light rendering has to be more "on the fly" due to dimensions omitted by the "solid ground" ("preset gun with sun above" vs. rotating spaceship, sun location "undefined" etc ?) - i.e. some [terminology] about multidimensional lighting equations in kerbals would be more complicated then a grass and sky scene or no ? or is that todo with CPU processing ?
thanks.

150mT for reference payload compared to other rockets
instead; how about the rocket that people are talking about ?
Quote100mT to 125mT for true useful load to useful orbit
oh right; 100mT is much less then 150mT... that's very "true"
QuoteAbout double in fully expendable config, which is hopefully never
maybe it would be helpful to try focus more on the reusable configs and then not get the numbers 33% out ?

the "european union" doesn't have "lawyers" (they are the judges..................................).
anyway; not arguing, you obviously know better about the details then the people you have been nicely trying to explain to.... "GIMME BACK MEH METADATA".
what can not be argued; is that frogs are way kewler then the people who make billions perversely harvesting data, by way of exploiting people AND within law, as i believe we are from the beginning very much already in agreement with.
