Thank you.

Not sure it does. Can't find a command to check throttle level, only the ability to lock the throttle at certain levels.

Hi all. This is backwards from what most people want, but I am working out some configs for some very powerful engines that use insane amounts of energy, and I want to control energy output based on throttle percentage to conserve resources. Basically I would start and stop different modules within an edited config that change energy output, or start and stop different reactors that have different output rates. I can find no mod that works this way.

Maybe this is something I should put in the add-on request forum, but I figure it doesn't hurt to throw it out here as well. What about adding additional categories or subcategories to the part lists? As we all know the utilities tab is quite crowded even without any mods. What about the creation of sub-tabs for utilities as an example? Perhaps when one clicks on the utilities tabs it brings up a set of player created sub-tabs in which parts have been placed. Is something like that possible?

What's the point? You want to watch the entire kerbol system be slowly sucked into a game breaking SOI?

It's more complex then this because of docking. Sure, we can launch all satellites individually with unique names, but that does not fix the docking problem when we dock to our orbital stations that are connected to mission control. When I undock I often lose complete control of my vessel, manned or not. Returning to the Space Center then reloading the vessel will correct the problem, but more often than not I get a bugged Space Center when I do this and need to reload the game. And when I reload the game I often get duplicate vessels I need to delete before flying.

They both might be right. Dewin might have determined at least one circumstance under which this bug occurs, and Peppe might have found a way to prevent the the bug from occurring.

MechJeb has SMA in there, it just isn't a default display. You can find it in the window editor. I personally don't like having to worry about drifting satellites in a network, so I use Hyperedit to fine tune orbits after placing satellties, and adjust them again later if necessary. I don't think this is unrealistic because these are unmanned vehicles controlled from mission control. Those damn kerbals have do some work themselves while I'm busy elsewhere.

Perhaps instead of thinking what we don't want we think about ease of manipulation of the tech tree and parts allowed. That way everyone can tailor the game to suit their desires. And with multi-player now an official goal this concept would fit right in as people tailor their multi-player servers to fit what those playing on it want. We need variety and manipulation, not restriction. Another very popular sandbox game we all know of is very popular because people can create the kind of world they want to play in, not because it restricts how people may play. KSP needs to go down the same path.

If you'll notice he has 2 vehicles in that picture. I'm betting that's how he created symmetry in his launch vehicle.

I think it would be much easier to just simply segregate systems. When you leave one it unloads, and when you enter one it loads. Stargates kind moves away from what this game is supposed to be by a large margin. Instead when you leave a system a timer starts for when your ship will arrive in the next system. And you can have an option of staying behind in the system your leaving, and just sending your ship on its way with notification for when it arrives in the new system, which you would load separately. Low level stuff in all systems can continue to be updated without having those systems actually loaded.

This is pretty much what I'm saying. Next time I'll hire you to ghost write for me.

But it won't stay this way. Someday all bodies will have multiple biomes and they will start balancing career mode. And I can already see the grinding on the wall. I think multiple biomes are fun, and I balance the career tree myself so I don't max everything on day one, but I think having to revisit every single biome multiple times to max science in that biome is just too much.

Agreed. No, I get it. I played years of MMOs. Grind is lazy garbage. Experiencing the game should be any developers goal. I don't think you understand what I am saying. The point is not to unlock everything instantly, but to not do repetitive tasks just because that's the lazy man's solution to content.

Where did I post that?
