  1. A word of advice. never leave Eris out the list, note the Trojan War...
  2. I tend to look for good contracts and spend quite some time on optimizing craft for those missions. (Esp rescue and tourist missions).
  3. No it shouldn't, but it has previously appear that it does Edit: Unity seems to have some builtin "feature" that scans for possible drives/networks.
  4. Autostruts or EVA Struts depending on your personal choice.
  5. Technically there's a difference. Deleting means deleting the account and all related data. There's a global discussion about "the right to be forgotten". But it's a discussion better taken to other forums dedicated to those issues. As Senior Information Security Analyst (yes, that's what it says on my business card issued by a major player in the area), I follow those forums and I don't think this one is relevant in that area
  6. The key differences are that Rocksim calculates a relatively simple rocket very exactly while KSP calculates a quite complicated rocket(s) in a quite relaxed manner too be able to handle that complex environment on a normal/decent computer/console. It's somewhat like comparing AstroGator and KSPTOT. Edit: For those who haven't tried both. Astrogator does a decent job using the data and resources available. KSPTOT use mathlab to bring your selected platform to it's knees (I've actually having to change the fan control of my computer because KSPTOT triggered an over heat... )
  7. Doesn't the console version have backups?
  8. I both quicksave before every serious maneuver and my startup script backups my career saves to a second drive at every start...
  9. 2 things to evaluate. - memory bandwidth, KSP loves RAM and CPU speed doesn't always correlate with RAM speed (and it's not on the package, it's what's actually used). - Unity has a very strange habit of checking all available and possible disks/networks/clouds.
  10. I've noticed similar hiccups. Do you have any mounted remote drive (like cloud drives or local LAN ones)? Or any unused network connectors? (firewire/wifi/bluetooth)?
  11. Given that I don't understand your post then it's most likely is.
  12. Did you ponder that non-english natives populates other forums?
  13. Once upon a time I worked as sysadmin at Tech Uni. Two our departments (Mechanics and Fluid Dynamics) had been granted a joint sum of money to buy a new 'super' computer, While I had a lot of fun (not all of it actually related to what I was supposed to do) I learned that simulation of physics isn't always the same. The Mech dudes had a quite large but fixed data set that had to be iterated over and over again, and very easy to perform with a vector or parallel computer. The Fluid Dynamics gang had a quite small data set, but where every <redacted> node interacted, almost impossible to split into nice chunks to be process in parallel. The very nice computer we where allowed to test (it also doubled as heater) failed due to the second criteria. It told me that computational power isn't as easy as I believed, and that issues like memory and cross core/thread bandwidth is a real thing.
  14. Mobiles, including the foreseeable advance in tech, will still be very far from the performance and available memory of a potato-grade computer, or console. Not to mention the lack of control devices (touch and optional gyro doesn't quite cut it). Besides, anyone who want to play KSP on a 5" screen should ponder to contact a professional.
  15. As a neighboring Swede we have another name for them Edit: Note that the clip is from a Danish TV Series
  16. Any data on that? And do you mean natives or people who has English (or some variant there of) as a known language besides their own?
  17. Umlauts (or metal dots) is quite often abused for graphical reasons by designers who doesn't fully understand what they're doing Back to the subject I blame my wasted years of learning German so I pronounce it "myn".
