    @kraden The 2 for Eta is on purpose, I think. but you caught me with Hox. Thanks for noticing. The black numbers are maximum required for plane change.

    Today....yesterday I did two more forms of testing. One was launches from worlds with atmosphere, to nearly complete the dV map, and the other was (actually pretty casual) flying of a non-space plane in various ratios of atmosphere pressure and gravity to measure an experience I'd like to share and know how to build more crafts for. The planet I was hoping to be the best for this turned out to be the worst but it's not a bummer. It's a fun little challenge to overcome. There was more epic screenshottery but I don't wanna spoiler too much. Here are the better of the casual flights --with interesting titles: The Beast Rising Desert Thunder

    Rounded the numbers up. v0.55
  4. JadeOfMaar
    I see what you did there. And I'm liking it.
  5. JadeOfMaar
    Oops! I didn't catch that part about rounding or I'd have done it. I'll make that adjustment soon. For deorbiting into a gas planet I was quite neutral and would leave it blank, figuring the only people who'll want to do that are out for some serious science (therefore they have expendable vessels) or they're going to aerobrake. Don't go computing anything for this...with serious intentions anyway.

    @OhioBob I was expecting poor performance as while Tarsiss has exactly Duna's atmosphere pressure, the half of Duna's gravity and nearly twice the atmo height (and surely a different atmo curve provided by yourself vs Stock) would make worlds of difference. So yes, I was quite surprised. On the subject of atmosphere pressures, I've measured the ascent dV for the remaining atmo worlds excepting Catulluss and Tellumo, and stated Gael GSO in meters. Here's the updated chart, v0.5: Anyone who wants to use it, feel free and let us know.

    @Ohm Machre I was going to point out the fuel balance pretty quickly. I hope the optimal weight turns out to be very generous. I rather like the cockpit's position. Quite boat-like and fairly appropriate.

    Going to add these to the Gratian dossier. Until now I never saw what it was that kept bleeding my PC's performance anytime I came to low orbit here. But now I know what it is... Worth it! Then I went to Tarsiss. My plane works just fine, surprisingly, but Niven's proportion of atmosphere pressure to gravity makes it struggle when I had hoped Niven would be the best place for crafts like this.

    I've developed my competency for resource writing from just that-- cheating ships around with scanners attached and knowing I don't need to change saves. I gave up on Range pretty quickly and defaulted to 1 for all planets except one where I said meh and put 50. I can happily go about figuring out Range again because of what I'm trying to do with it and Karbonite and Karborundum. Thanks to you I can put that nail in the coffin and even offer to update the documentation inside the resource files because this line: //Express all numbers as percentages 0.0-100.0, not 0.0-1.0! Is partially misleading and very obsolete.
  10. JadeOfMaar
    That's the kind of answer I've been waiting for, for a long time now since I started probing the CRP. Now does this formula apply only to the Sun or to every celestial body? Does the Range parameter also use this formula? I write resource allocations and have been trying to understand these two the entire time through trial and error so your answer will make my day.
  11. JadeOfMaar
    What is that and can you replicate it? xD Moon looks like Ceti. And in the first picture, what are we looking for? Improved pine tree scatter?

    @Brownhair2 I've seen Titanus on a livestream. How can you just... land on -that- planet with a tiny Mk2 plane? o.o! ohoho... I see your X-43's. Looks like I've made a new friend.
  13. JadeOfMaar
    This @Brownhair2 I like your New Horizons adventure by the way. I've wanted to see some action with that planet pack.
  14. JadeOfMaar
    I forgot that I was trying to avoid that. Head was in the clouds... *badum tish* It's hard to tolerate that when screenshotting is concerned. Thanks for the headsup.
  15. JadeOfMaar
    Mine contains just a little Mk2 Expansion and Tweakscale-- easily replacable for a stock-only variant which I already planned for. Your idea is awesome. You may PM me for building tips. It's basic stuff. Progress is smooth, unlike a GIF. Staring at the star while it was above Otho gave me the thought "Why don't you... catch the END of an eclipse while in atmosphere?" And so I did. Valentina's been landing on the minor worlds with atmosphere and putting the yard stick to them for liftoff... So you don't have to™.
  16. JadeOfMaar
    Experiencing Otho's flag... while landed!
  17. JadeOfMaar
    A challenger appears!

    Getting back to business in KSP 1.2.1... So much screenshottery to do and delta-V to measure for the sake of my KSPedia-like thing and an upcoming dV map for the Galilean Planets. Here's Jebediah who's supposed to be old and retired as happy as any kerbal can get at Tarsiss, the moon of moon. And then at Catullus, keeper of the Tarsiss. I didn't try to land him there for screenies. (He's not in polar orbit but) I find this view unexpectedly epic. The mix of lights give the scout ship a Romulan vibe, doesn't it? Also, running medium SVE wouldn't do any screenshots justice. I can guarantee you it will look like Eve down there. Valentina was sent instead to be landed on Catullus, with a better dV measuring craft but that still went very poorly. So she landed on Loki, the nearest moon of Gauss and discovered the Shadow Fest! Truly all is not as it seems in Gaussian space.
  19. JadeOfMaar
    Only among Galileo's Planets will you get views like... Update: It's officially a shadow fest. All the moons are doing it.
  20. JadeOfMaar
    Eeloo. need MORE boosters RTGs. :U
  21. JadeOfMaar
    Forget all that. Look at how shiny the navball is. He's got some new kind of pre-release graphics mod and it's overexposing things. Read the warning label, dude!
  22. JadeOfMaar
    Cool. I wonder what value you'll get for Niven as I already put something rough for ascent (2200m/s) with my own manual testing with an orbit of 62~64km. I did mentally exclaim "What the deuce?" when I read "South Pole star" in your thread. That GIF!
  23. JadeOfMaar
    Test release of dV map. I plugged in all the numbers I got so far and added a version number.
  24. JadeOfMaar
    Then the case is settled. No one's objecting.
  25. JadeOfMaar
    I feel for OhioBob. But GN is purely a sandbox thing indeed.... Now I've poisoned my imagination with having these planets around an A-class star, from all the blue in this mod's promo art.
