Update on Kerbin circumnavigation. Got another drag issue. So I restarted the Kerbin trip for the thid time. This time I used the SAS as a pseudo-autopilot: The rover is currently at 15.56° S, and it's been a day and 53 seconds since launch - make that a day in the water. <screenshot coming soon> Quick math: t(15°)=1day <=> t(90°)=6day=36h Underwater part will take (approx.) 35 to 36 hours. While the SAS keeps the rover pointing south, I can do other stuff, like reading War and Peace (I'm serious).

Something I just discovered, that may be useful for lengthy circumnavigations: The SAS is actually useful, but the default key bindings make it pretty useless: it resets the direction it wants to point towards when you press any rotation key, and rover movement is bound to such keys, so if you constantly press 'w' the SAS will keep resetting itself. I remapped 'w' to 't' for rover movement (added 't' as secondary key), and now the SAS follows a steady 159° instead of drifting every now and then. Acrually, it kept following 159° for 2 hours! Except for when I ran out of EC. Also, if you're laying waypoints, you can change the frequency at which Kerbnet updates: set KERBNET_REFRESH_SLOW_INTERVAL and KERBNET_REFRESH_FAST_INTERVAL in settings.cfg. Not that refreshing more than every 3.5 seconds would be that useful, but still. The SAS "trick" may work as a stock "autopilot" in that case, no?

Same example as before: (can be found at https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/200044-112x-everoth-star-cluster-v12-currently-just-the-estrela-dobre-system/page/8/#comment-4321621) It is C++ btw.

Let's see... If I allocate 1h a day for this, I may have finished the ocean trip by christmas, and probably by the end of the month, too.

Syntax highlighting is still in "dark-mode color" in light mode. Could it be fixed, please? It makes reading syntax-highlighted code blocks hard in light mode. If the un-syntax-highlighted code color can be changed through some css, I see no reason syntax-highlight colors can't. Thanks.
