  1. They have had the FTL drive for about a year now

    , they just need to polish it and implement it, which would be pointless atm.

    Source?

    By the way, i don't really like the idea to see FTL travel, i prefer to make the Kerbol system binary, it would be awesome :)

  2. The problem is your pixel light count. Press escape in-flight and turn it up. From what I have found, you can only so many lights on per setting until the lights overlap enough to make problems if you do not increase the pixel light count.

    So i just need to move high the pixel count?

    Thanks to all btw!

  3. Imagine the speed of an old Russian satellite that is in polar orbit. Now you have the ISS in equatorial orbit. Paths cross and KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.

    I know this story.... Sandra has to get not let herself get below 50m/s or her suit will explode...

    Seriously rofled.

  4. It really depends on the mission and the craft. I did a mothership to jool mission where I quicksaved before every maneuver because I didn't have enough confidence in my redesign (during testing the mothership managed to shake parts off). At the other extreme, I've done moon landing and returns without ever quicksaving. My normal level is to quicksave after an SoI change.

    Same for me

  5. I don't like mechjeb, I don't. People claim "Well Apollo 11 used autopilot" Yes it did, but on a computer as powerful as a calculator not as powerful as a high end PC. Also a few Apollo missions had to turn off autopilot near landing. But my point is the fun in KSP is piloting. I don't care how tedious it gets. I think my dislike of mechjeb comes from when it ruined my first mun landing. I made a basic rocket and told it to go there and it was done. No fun or heart pounding landings like the real thing. I NEVER whine cheater but i don't care if people do.

    Actually LEM Autopilot was better than MJ

  6. Seeing as both of these things are not modeled, the orbital decay must come from what I mentioned earlier; Phantom forces coming from rounded off numbers, or weird physics calculations.

    The orbital decay happened to me also on probe 100% stopped without ASAS

  7. And there is small amounts of particles outside of a bodies atmosphere that can slow you down. However, the effects are tremendously minute.

    I approve on this but this works only on body with atmosphere, on Mun the orbital decay must came from the first thing i said no?

  8. What you mean about the craters/mountains, are increased/decreased mass relative to the center of the body. Truthfully, that shouldnt really matter anyway.

    No, as the drag is the particles outside of the planets atmosphere, either solar winds or random stray particles. The earths atmosphere is immensely denser than this, so it will probably not even be measurable, even if it was the case.

    I'm talking on a little difference in gravitational force under mountain which can "curve" your orbit

    For LEO and LKO (ISS need to be boosted some time at year) but on Mun and Minmus there's no atmosphere

  9. Orbital decay is not modeled, as there is no... "Solar Atmosphere" (Cannot remember actual term) causing drag.

    I think the drag on a orbital decaying is caused by difference between gravity torce by passing on top of mountains or crater (Look for the reason why CM of Apollo Program orbit at that height)
