  1. When you change the name there will be an option to change the type of craft as well.. Plane Rocket Probe Relay Etc.
  2. I once had the same issue. Forget if it was a fuel cell or what but the original upgrade mission was missing the engineer and screw driver... the flow up personall mission went smoothly, but I still forgot the screwdriver.
  3. So I have been playing a twisted Probes First playthrough.. my space company automates EVERYTHING they can. A few worlds first to after extensive UA adventures. I am only really doing probe and tourist missions that don't require a pilot. A particular probe lander was my primary science collector. The final compenet to return to kerbin was a single cargo containers / probe core with a storage module. Upon recovering my vessel from the first moho fly by had me realize I forgot to collect the science Jr data before jettisoning it. Did I mention I don't really time warp... that concurrent missions are designed around a maximum 24 hour warp window. Ugh. I got sad just remembering. That model now uses action groups for staging with a collection set up before staging.
  4. I do not recall where I found these instructions. The have been saved in my notes for 18 months now and thought they would be helpful. Forgive me but I asked an automation tool to clean it up for a form post. 1. Understand Key Orbital Terms: Longitude of Ascending Node (LAN): This is the angle, measured from a reference direction (in KSP, typically from the prime meridian at longitude = 0°), indicating where your orbit crosses from south to north over the equator. Inclination: The angle between your orbit plane and the planet’s equator. 2. Planning Your Launch Window: The trick to hitting a specific LAN is timing. You need to: Launch when your launch site passes directly underneath the intended orbit plane. Use KER (Kerbal Engineer Redux) or MechJeb (optional but highly recommended) to see real-time orbital data and planet rotation relative to your target orbit. Optimal Timing: Warp time until your launch site aligns closely underneath the orbit line on your map. (This is the most critical part. Launch site alignment with end goal. I ALWAYS have to perform minor orbital maneuvers to get the LAN perfect) If you're launching from Kerbal Space Center (KSC), wait until KSC rotates under your target orbit’s path on the map screen (watch from the Tracking Station or Map view). 3. Setting Inclination at Launch: Before liftoff, note if the orbit line moves slightly north or south relative to your launch site. If the orbit line moves northeast, launch into a heading slightly northward of the standard eastward (typically around 90°) direction (e.g., heading of 50°-70°). If the orbit line moves southeast, aim slightly south of eastward (e.g., heading of 100°-120°). A rough heading-to-inclination guideline: 0° heading: Directly North 90° heading: Directly East (equatorial orbit) 180° heading: Directly South 270° heading: Directly West (retrograde orbit, rarely useful) Adjust heading slightly during ascent to match target inclination precisely. 4. During Launch (Gravity Turn and Adjustments): Start your gravity turn normally (around 50-100 m/s vertical speed), but angle immediately towards the determined heading (north or south of the 90° standard East). Watch the Ascending Node (AN) and Inclination indicators provided by KER or MechJeb during ascent to fine-tune your trajectory. Small adjustments early on save huge delta-v later. 5. Circularize as Close to AP as Possible 6. Achieving Exact LAN: For precise LAN targeting, remember the planet rotation: Kerbin rotates roughly 1° every 60 seconds (1°/minute, 360° rotation every ~6 hours). Adjust your launch time if your first attempt misses the LAN by a known angle. Example: If your orbit ends 10° off your desired LAN, adjust launch by ~10 minutes forward or backward. I usually eye ball the intersect for a normal / radial translation to the proper site but you can relaunch until you get better at it. Example (Practical Summary): Check contract: Inclination 30°, LAN = 120°. Open map view, find when KSC aligns under orbit line (around LAN=120°). Launch at this exact time, aim for approximately 60° heading (30° inclination). Fine-tune on ascent. Minimal circularization burn to stabilize orbit. Hope this Helps
  5. Your definition is still inadequate to fully encompass the glory of soup. Scandinavian & Central European countries have fruit souls Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine includes Gazpacho & Tarator bot soup by definition of the dish, but excluded by the cooking portion. There are no exclusionary provisions mentioned in the definition that would still include soups of tomato or cream. Soup is so amazing you cannot contain it with such a simple definition. Proposed All-Encompassing Soup Definition: “A liquid-based dish, typically intended for consumption by spoon, in which water, stock, dairy, or other fluid serves as the primary medium for distributing flavors, textures, or suspended solids. This includes both hot and cold preparations, with or without cooking, and may incorporate meats, vegetables, fungi, legumes, grains, dairy, or emulsified ingredients to achieve varying consistencies
  6. Mushrooms are absolutely not vegetables. The posited definition obviously fails to encompass soup. Saying so things is a foreign dish and therfore exists as some kind of nebulous outlier is asinine. Soup exists across an array of culture. Those that truly love soup do not usually stop there, it extended to bisque, chowders and stew. Consume as well as Gazpacho. As proven by the very inadequate definition, all the above is *qualified* by the accepted lay meaning of soup.
  7. Yes. Indeed the semantic Olympics can make an argument for many non traditional soups like cereal. Stew, Porridge, Soup, Broth have a deal of overlap with the constant goal of any culinary enthusiast to challenge the established norms. Noodles have long been staples in many soup like dishes. Noodles have many similarities to my cornflake. No meat / veggie Egg Drop Soup Consume Cream of Mushroom Legume based soup
  8. THIS The vegetable need not resemble anything remotely close to it original shape, but i argue most cereal is processed wheat or corn. Ah, lucky charms my new favorite Gazpacho.
  9. I love soup. Mostly during the colder months, but a poor choice for my first attempted life companion in the game r/outside saw me shouldered with 95% of the tasks related to domesticity. Combine this with a 60+ hour work week for the majority of my Early adult experience and I developed a healthy love for soup and all things single dish. My Current Favorites Chili will always rank at the top. While typically more of a stew in traditional compositional make up, I feel the 10 million variations of this recipe give it a great deal of traction in the race. (I even put beans it it despite what the entire state of Texas proclaims subjectively as an objective truth) I am also in love with Cauliflower bisque with black beans. Omg. If I'm feeling froggy I roast some Cauliflower with cracked pepper to go in the soup as a *fixin'* One of the things I made a great deal when .. not quite as old.. Cabbage stew. A timeless staple of the poverty stricken since the potato tried to slay Ireland. Simple Tomato based stock. Chicken Broth, Celery, Carrots and Onions for the base. (Mir Paise or something). Cook it down in a pot while putting a good sea on some seasoned chicken. After sear put in oven until temp. Add tomatoes and yummy stuff cooking with chicken (musshies, green peppers, what evers) into pot. Add kidney beans and simmer with tons of cabbage. Best part do immersion blender needed. I probably forgot something as coffee was not part of my soup fueled reverie.
  10. This is my big fear as well. I see teaching I initiatives locally and curriculum where classes teach children how to prompt. There as a little bit of research showing correlation in cognitive decline / creative decline. Before the current shift in things, there were some interesting reports and people linking the inability to "fight" back in two generations & this was way before AI. This is of course in my country.. but common core distanced children from parents. Made parents feel stupid and opened a gap. Not all.. but the majority of overworked, underpaid, exhausted masses that utilize public schools. The younger People are using AI for everything.. menus, productivity guides .. it is obviously a subject matter expert on everything ever. Might as well take it as gospel.
  11. We will move to using these complex algorithms for more and more and less and less will be recorded on hardcopies. The solar flares will return us to a dark age when those bibliophiles with large collections will be Venerated and heralded as the prophets of the new age .... Sorry, my primary coping mechanism lately has been writing short stories and I keep seeing visions of this in my daydreams.
  12. I wish you the best. I dripped out of the discord a while back because there was no chat in months. Is development have an open portal that public might view ideas and discuss things? I primarily use discord to manage my D&D group and a server I host. I know alot of people younger than myself LOVE the thing. I honestly expected a bit more shade and general negativity to be tossed your way. I applaud your effort to continue to improve something you love. I had a discussion that I think captured the sentiment that this effort was founded upon.. We were lamenting what KSP2 might have been without scope creep. If it were approached more like a KSP1 remaster plus. With the mods that are available and how repo hand offs have went.. I can almost see the Title kSP continued Watch out for legal and do not get to hurt if you have enjoy it from a small circle and word of mouth dissemination. I think it equally likey thay anything that is well done.. would be incorporated under the MIT with appreciation. I imagine the modders are more familiar with the game than new owners and think it highly unlikely they would ever continue the project. Go do You. (I may even reinstall the game one day)
  13. You are responding to an 11 year old comment. Keep that in mind while waiting for a reply. Also, being unable to sample the glory of mods has likely led to an established bias. How can I tell you ask? The Superfluous negativity & repetition with which you qualify your own accomplishment without the need for mods. The mention of console & "never gonna play with mods" would have been more than adequate. Sharing some of the marvelous Modless creation would be better. Not all engineers use dismissive language and most utilize formatting due to the volume of document control and need to present things in an easy to follow manner.
