I use windows mostly cause its the thing I know best. Doesn't mean I particularly like it. Has good compatibility for what I need though. Have tried using Linux before. Though its fine and nice I guess, I wouldn't use it probably for personal home use... Also hassle to convert my current systems over, as nice as itd be probably.

uhh for solid modeling dont use blender. Its not really meant for solid modelling, its more for I think for mesh based stuff. Fusion 360 is free (ish, there's like paid tiers for additional features, but the core modelling should still be there), and might work on mac? Its what I'd personally use to make just quick home project 3d models for printing. General usage of fusion is make a sketch extrude, make new sketches. There's also a funky program called OpenSCAD which is script based and open source, but I would not use that personally. Edit: Gonna leave a link since the autodesk site is terrible to navigate - https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/personal

EVE online is a very notable space combat sim sort of. Also Elite Dangerous IIRC. Its not a really super big space but its large enough. Also yes you can for flying (after setting some stuff up in the settings). I dont think building with a HOTAS is very nice.

Is there not a way to like "purchase as gift" so that you could hold on to them in the steam sales or sth?

Kerbin Helicopter Circumnavigation

while in principle I dont disagree, with the KSP aero model being the way it is I dont mind being somewhat more lenient with defining helicopter as "thing that uses rotors for lift" since you know, proper swashplates and cyclic control are hard. -
Kerbin Helicopter Circumnavigation
qzgy replied to Hotel26's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
Huh this'll be interesting to follow. Although done with ye olde turbo prop tech, I have managed to do 40 minutes of sustained ~70 m/s flight (which itself was a challenge). Doing the math thats about 200 km That was also using afterburning panthers for speed, (at some points) though and also using (mostly aesthetic?) stubby wings so how useful of a comparison it is is questionable.. If you do use more efficient tech, it might not be totally insane..... I think water hugging or not depends on the inter-fuel drop range of your craft. Let's first see though if it is possible. -

I need tips for building a munar base.
qzgy replied to computercat04's topic in KSP1 The Spacecraft Exchange
Well there's efficient and effective. The most efficient is a suicide burn where you basically after deorbiting freefall and wait till the last possible second to burn at full power retrograde. Efficient, but hard to perfectly pull off. If you fail you end up smacking into the ground. Easier is to first just cancel most of your horizontal velocity then do a vertical burn. Still better to wait till almost too late for those for more efficiency. I hope that made sense. And yeah echoing DeadJohn, you can probably just land the entire base in one piece. -
