I claim this planet for Humanity! the best damn species in the known universe!

Iv'e always wanted to see this compatible with Mechjeb one day. Where you could send your commands to mechjeb and the commands would be delayed. Have you talked to R4m0n about it?

Ion engines aren't very realistic anyways.

Good job! Which solar panel did you find?

Has there ever been a standard established by Squad or the community for the realistic range of engine parameters? things like, the density of fuel, the mass of engines the dry weight and capacity of tanks the masses of random connection parts Engine fuel burn rates It would be nice, for example to say, in a challenge, that only parts which comply to the realistic standard are allowed. has any attempt been made to derive masses and tank capacities from the mesh? I'm thinking of writing something to do this.

Go find a solar panel that actually works using the latest version of Kreuzung's electrical energy plugin. open the cfg file. copy the Module block at the bottom (the line starting with module, and including the block of code contained in curly brakets below it) paste this module into the bottom of the cfg file of the panel you wish to change. alter the electrical energy gain to something balanced and appropriate.

Why are you worried that mechjeb will go away? It's open source. If r4m0n disappears, someone else will pick up the slack.

Try a phase angle of more like -73° (let Kerbin get a little farther ahead) and then on your mid course correction burn, "scan" Kerbin's orbit by lowering your peri. At a certain point, the amount of catchup you do on this short bit under kerbin's orbit will match the amount that you are behind it. Note, you will hit kerbin with more velocity this way.

How did you remove the launch tower?

Granted, but it gets released one night and everybody in the world is trying to download it at the same time from some dusty old server at Squad, and your download gets interrupted over and over forever. I wish for a flawless theory of the functioning of the human brain.

It flies like a leaf in the wind

a what? .

Granted. Its about the ISS, the Earth gets bored with it and stops sending up supplies. The commode breaks again, the air pumps degrade and by the time it's heading down for a destructive re-entry the astronauts are dehydrated, hungry and drowning in their own filth. Overall the movie makes you sick and hate your species. I wish for the fastest computer in the world.

Oh god, not that engine again. That things is so cheaty and ugly. And the texture has the wrong number of channels. and you used photobucket! :thehorror:

The flat 2m to 2x1m adapter from the novapunch pack, under the ascent vessel's decoupler. Turns out, just about nothing about this whole lander works at all. It needs a lot of modifications, and you have to remember that 270 is "up". I'm trying to re-create this

I dropped one Kerb on the surface of each moon (cept Bop, and Gilly. They are cursed)

You have to put weird music in a youtube video anyway so they don't call you out on licensing. That said, this dicks dicks dubstep song is a little over the top.

Selecting a ship in the mechjeb rendezvous tool enables more buttons in the smart A.S.S. tool. The button RVEL- will point you in the direction such that if you burn you will slow down relative to your target. The TGT+ button will point you at the target. If you are close, like within 20km, and you alternate between burning in these two directions, eventually you will get there. (warp till your distance to the target hits a minimum, zero out your relative velocity, and burn TGT+ until your ETA to the target is about 100s, rinse and repeat.) It's kind of like the iterative proportional fitting algorithm.

It tends to regenerate the damn maps at the slightest opportunity. you can back them up, and restore them, but it wont read them in anyways. Luckily it does read in the Deposits.dat file which everything is based on. If you see that it started making new maps, go to the space center, alt-tab out of KSP without closing it, restore your Deposits.dat file, and then go back to the flight. It will not show your old maps but it will at least generate Kethane in the same places. At least I think that's how it works.

I'll try it. Seems to just be a matter of timing. I think you would need to spend long time going around the back of jool if you can. if you use a standard Hohmann transfer to Jool, when you are ready to come back Kerbin will be about 90° too far behind. I'll bet you could swing it if you go around the sun and extra time or 5 on the way back. Also, avoiding Jools moons is just a matter of luck.

if you have plenty of fuel, just get close, set your mechjeb rendezvous target to the other craft, and just alternate beween burning RVEL- and TGT+
