Hmmm... I think the time warp issue is more of an imprecision error, where when you go from 1x into a low, then to a high warp rate, the game sets the orbit of current vessel on rails and probably increase gravity so when the time step per i game second goes down, orbits don’t change. However, if you suddenly go into a high rate from 1x, the game ends up increasing gravity too early and causes the orbit to instantly shrink just before its set on rails. However, this theory is likely incorrect as it only accounts for highly elliptical orbits at periapsis, OR it’s that the gravity change is so small, it’s only noticeable in that situation where a tiny amount of energy makes orbit change a lot.

Ok, so, single ship as in the entire thing needs to land everywhere?

yes, and it would be good to have solar wind collector, also, you collect antimatter in magnetic fields of planets... tho.... idk if its there for all planets or kspie does some calculations and stuff

Speaking of twr, you can use the Kspie antimatter radiant drive, and to refuel, have big and light solar panels and/or scoops to collect hydrogen or something for reactors, and then deploy a small space plane to land anywhere. Drawback: years of thrusting between stars, benefit: going significant portion of c in the process... or does it need to be a single ship

InSight launching in 2018

Hmm if only it had a space grade broom to brush dust off the panels... -
I had this happen to an old save that had big ships, I was using the overthrow effect around Eve to get to Gilly, I got encounter, set it to auto warp, bam, ap was halfway to Gilly’s orbit... this was fixed by going into 5x time warp and then doing auto warp, or suddenly going into a high warp rate.

Make a wish... and have it horribly corrupted!

Granted and they use it properly, but it still explodes from absorbing too much radiation ( or just doesn’t work enough due to too much rads, idk how it works, like does it absorb or reflect radiation?) I wish 3d printers were able to print faster -
ok, hmm.. yes since they eclipse, the light level will be a little lower, but i will still have ice lakes on Paxt, and add flat areas all over... rn its just a noiseball... Should Xaxt be a more... greyish color? (yes it does use the exact color heightmap as Avon, thats why ima change it)

Isn’t it that the body is so efficient that you still gain calories from eating celery? Like only 20% of celery calorie is used to process it I think? hmm this went a little off.. also, did the guy post more hilariously incorrect things on that website? Hmm.. also, what is the difference in strength of a tank when it’s a sphere or a flat sheet? I’m pretty sure a sphere would be orders of magnitude stronger than a very thin tank made of the same material and thickness? also isn’t having thin tanks of cryogenic liquid in thin wings bad for hypersonic flight due to extreme heat? Wouldn’t you want some sort of cooling there instead?

You wash nothing, but it’s an object that you just washed, aaand it broke spacetime again. i wish for a popsicle rocket -
it doesnt rebuild it it uses its own program to generate a galaxy, you drop galaxy into gamedata and bam, galaxy, i think. yes this mod is awesome

Omg I just looked at that “linear aerospike” and I lost a few brain cells I think, as HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK LIKE AN AEROSPIKE?! It’s like two engines on each side with lazily merged nozzles that are nowhere near correct, and the part that merges are unaerodynamic. And there’s that tiny af wedge... how does that qualify as an aerospike... most of the exhaust is going to miss the microscopic thing. With that reasoning, the Concorde had a single aerospike. And then the fuel.... it would be significantly easier and far safer for designated passenger section and a fuel section with round tank instead of encapsulating the passengers in fuel. And there’s no apparent cooling... and that’s just one of them... also looks like there’s no way to get in seats without crawling over... also, lavatories with an inch thick 550 bar fuel tank? Uh. No. Just..... the bs is so bad that I’m trying my best to not criticize it so hard it’s it’s own mega thread from it.....

Yep... reeeeks red flags, the flat “high pressure” tanks has a spherical red flag literally.. even if I have plasma engines on my concept plane, it would still not be that amazing of an SSTO (if at all) and I would seek info wether it may work. also, the “delivery ssto” is just wrong for hypersonic aerodynamics, especially the curved intakes... it will cause extreme drag. Yes i agree a ton with what you said this is effectively nearing the peak of that lol..

You know you played KSP too long when...
JcoolTheShipbuilder replied to Magzimum's topic in Forum Games!
When you made so many spaceplanes and not radially symmetrical (mirror mode), that you start flying a ship and banking like it’s a plane in a game that a) you’re currently in space and b) it doesn’t simulate air or orbital mechanics lol. -

2330: the most normal floor ever -
This was more of what happened over the weekend, but I went to a go kart race. Saturday morning there was controlled practice as there were 132 entries (usually about 70-80) because there were racing events at the track later in the week lol. And I somehow avoided a small wreck in one turn during practice lol (it was a bunch that spun out avoiding each other lol). And then there was qualifying, i passed a few people, ended up 12th out of 20 in the same class. prefinal was a little crazy, a few went off, and I kinda kept up. The main event was a lot of fun, I was keeping up with like four others, all slightly faster than each other but constant swapping lol. And two of them were getting a little rough with each other until after the last turn, one bumped the other one off the track lol... as me and dad were leaving, one of the classes was really big, constant stream go karts lol. there was also cake since it was somebody’s birthday (not mine) lol

totm april 2021 What was your favorite first in KSP?
JcoolTheShipbuilder replied to Tsar_bomba's topic in KSP1 Discussion
My other favorite first was refueling at a station in a 1000km orbit around Kerbin with a giant asteroid, and then bringing that giant ship to Ike to refuel a smaller ship, then landing it on top of another ship on Gilly and refueling lol -

2328: you finally reach the top, you breath some fresh air, then decide to go down the stairs, but some non Euclidean stuff happens and by going down, you have gone up to balcony that was below you, and from here, it just looks like a normal floor, but you drop down, still on floor 2328, and get a view of the sky. Perplexed, you go down the stairs and end up on the balcony overlooking the floor, then realize the drop was two meters instead of the seeming 10 meter drop, and in the middle appears to be a spacetime rift (that is emitting a blueish smoke) causing the floor to be 25m tall then going up, but at the same time, being 4m going down. And then the rift yeets you into the next floor. (all this happened on floor 2328)
