Craft Manager does those things: -
Yes, the exhaust definitely needs neutralization. Otherwise all kinds of weird things happen to your ship and its exhaust.
-
Woah, the whole thing is bugging out. Everybody's profile picture is duplicated...
-
Yep, exactly.

A little nitpicky, but they're actually called hollow cathodes. Electron guns use field emission to generate high-voltage streams of electrons, but low current. Hollow cathodes ionize a gas, like xenon or argon, to get way higher amperage. Ion thrusters require multiple amps of current from the hollow cathodes, something an electron gun would never be able to provide.
-
Nope. The reason the electrons fly back is due to Coulomb's law, and so the electrons will also be pulling on you (Newton's laws), so no net thrust. This is why people use ion engines - they provide actual thrust and they don't charge your spacecraft. Hopefully not. There's just nothing to slow things down, not something speeding it up. Magnetic fields aren't charged, and even then, they depend on velocity to have any force. Have you looked at the Lorentz force law? LFL: F = qE + q(v x B) (If you haven't done extra calculus or linear algebra, the x is a cross product)

I stated that in the title. I just wanted to know what people around here thought.

Kerbal Space Program 2 - Feature Videos Teaser
Entropian replied to prestja's topic in Prelaunch KSP2 Discussion
Much KSP! So space! Wow. -
Do not ε0. Ever. Always use ε.
-
What about bleu cheese?
-
Wow, this really shows how out of touch I've been with the MC community... I'm not the only one! I loved the old java launcher! Changelog and everything right there!
-
What the heck? This is ridiculous. I started playing way back in alpha, long before Microsoft bought it. Nasty ol' corporate capitalism. I would think they'll start doing microtransactions for special skins and capes next.

Thanks IT for the less whitespace change!

Real Solar System night more than day
Entropian replied to taiwanluthiers's topic in KSP1 Mods Discussions
I think it uses UTC, so that might cause the late sunsets and sunrises. -
I would think water. Either liquid under the surface or way more ice.
-
Well, some of the parts exist, but the rocket itself has never been assembled, so it does exist, but only partially. SLS: Super Lame Spacecraft

Auto Warp changes trajectory

It's already in the bugtracker: https://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/25761 -
So NASA is saying that they have an "exciting new discovery" about the Moon that they'll release in a teleconference on Monday... What could it be? https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-to-announce-new-science-results-about-moon

Comic Sans, you say? I've got something even worse... Do not ever, under any circumstances, allow yourself or people around you, including, but not limited to, friends, family, and other humans, attempt to commit TeRRIblE writing crimes.

No procedural wings = no buy. Simple.
Entropian replied to Vegatoxi's topic in Prelaunch KSP2 Discussion
KSP development != KSP2 development, simply. KSP2 has way more funding behind it, and more experienced developers right out the gate. -
This is way better with the gray background. Thanks to the IT person!

Where's the edit edit button button?
-
Edit is in the ... tab to the upper right. The thread opening preferences are in account settings.

Auto Warp changes trajectory
Entropian replied to Razzer's topic in KSP1 Technical Support (Console)
No fix so far. I don't think the devs are even looking at it.
