From what i know battlefield does some kind of bullet simulation rather than hitscan type stuff. Bullets have velocity, and do indeed drop. The game has funtions to even adjust scopes and iron sights for different distances to account for this drop. no idea how its calculated in the game though.

indeed they are.

I wonder what the flat Earthers must think watching this....I presume they choose to just not watch.

damn, that would've been dope to just check back in 6 months and see how far its gone

Are they planning on keeping the starman stream live for as long as possible? as in potentially until it passes mars and beyond?

loveing savage bro.

alas, they are not.

How long does it take a sparrow to move an entire beach across an ocean one grain of sand at a time?

You are absolutely right, but when i'm playing KSP it feels sometimes like I'm watching through a camera especially looking at screenshots like above. To me even though the naked eye can see stars in space, more realistic not to see them.

The rocket equation is going to be your friend here. In stock, a perfect and i mean perfect launch trajectory with perfect thrust to weight ratios to avoid drag loss while minimizing gravity losses simultaneously, orbit can be achieved with 3300 m/s to 3400 m/s of delta v (change in velocity) 3600 m/s is a good number to shoot for with excess just in case. The rocket equation is what you use to determine how much your ship has. Change in Veloctiy= ln(massstart/massend)*Velocityexhaust Where massstart is equal to the mass of your fully fueled rocket and massend is equal to your rocket completely dry or having used all fuel. Velocityexhaust is equal to Isp*9.81 m/s ISP can be found under the info tab on all rocket engines. For example, my ship weighs 20 tonnes, and dry my ship weighs 6 tonnes and I'm using the LV-T30 "Reliant" engine which has an isp of 310 in vacuum. Since this will be a single stage to orbit we will assume average isp of 300( (265 isp @ 1atm and 310 @ vacuum most of the flight will occur at near vacuum pressures) ln(20/6)*300*9.81=3543.29 m/s. This rocket will make it to space (read orbit) assuming good piloting. This is an example of how you can use the rocket equation to get to space. just remember to keep your TWR @ 1.2 minimum on the launch pad and remember TWR= thrust/mass, this number will be in m/s so around 11.772 m/s is the number you want to see. 11.772/9.81=1.2 GEEEEEEEEEES baby! Hope this helps, sorry its so mathy....

what mod makes the stars realistically dim like that? is that part of your visual enhancement mods?

moar pixels please

my eyes are burning its so loveing beautiful.

screenshot or it didn't happen lol

Just checked out this website you mentioned. This is a very dangerous time hole, I just spent almost an hour brushing up on antimatter only with the intention of taking a quick little peak. I could see losing hours on that site with great ease.

Must. See. Moar.

on normal career mode setting money is not an issue. just play smart and think a few steps ahead and make the most out of every launch. If you can launch a satellite and rescue a kerbal in orbit all the better or launch 3 satellite for 3 contracts or plant a flag and gather science from a body etc.... despite the mundane nature of the contract, ferrying tourists is a very lucrative business.

I can definitely see where you're coming from. It does take much much longer to launch and land, however for me (I know everyone has different tastes), the piloting aspect is just as fun as the orbital assembly, collecting science, and faffing around in rovers, etc...

My standard "sub-assemblies" are reusable spaceplanes. The biggest I made was capable of carrying 80 tonnes to orbit and the cost per tonne was incredibly low. 200ish credits per tonne if not less. The only cost was fuel since the plane landed back on the runway. Very economical and 80 tonnes to orbit was more than plenty for my career at the time.

Interestingly enough, Kerbin had almost the same axial tilt as Earth before the impact. The tremendous stike rotated the planet to its near perfectly 0° axial tilt that we see today.

I would recommend OPT Spaceplane parts. There are some futuristic engines in there and some that could realistically be possible in our own reality. The one I have in mind for your craft is the Dark matter drive with and ISP of 15,000 in atmospheric and vacuum conditions and also very large thrust. This engine is extremely unrealistic for our reality but the USS enterprise isn't from our reality (Timeline) is it? The craft above is utilizing the dark matter drive engine.

I'm having a hard time finding skyboxes, I remember there being a red and blue nebula, the milkyway and another variation of the milky way with red and blue shift made by @PooD IIRC. Would anyone we able to help find them? Thank you,

Hello, I've been taking quite a long break from KSP and the last time I played they had just released the language pack. Returning, I'm just curious if anyone has heard any rumors of new updates to come and what they may entail. Also anything I may need to watch out for returning? Thank you in advance. -Leafy

are you loveing kidding me!? that is the dopest thing i've seen yet!

I've had issues similarly to this and it was ultimately due to wheel placement/angle. pictures of craft from side and front with CoM/CoL/CoT would be most helpful.
