yo man thanks for the diagram, i was able to use it as a reference for performing 2 gravity assists off kerbin and one off eve to get an encounter with jool

i just put the diagram to practice, it worked well edit: never mind, as a reminder to everyone, you are most definitely not in a safe orbit 4 kilometres from the mun

ah so its a bit like learning to snipe in battlefield, thats a great way of putting it, as a side note i am in the process of teaching myself the math, i decided to take it on so that i could calculate these things accurately one day, i practice for about an hour every day i dont think that diagram is pathetic, ill definitely use this, thank you

by the looks of things, unless you have a degree in orbital mechanics, its guesswork, cool ill keep that in mind, thanks

ive been practicing for like 5 hours now and i even tried to get into the math behind it, my brain is toast, is there a good guide out there or can someone help simplify it for me, i just dont get how you can line up exactly for a gravity assist that brings you directly onto an encounter with another body, my brain is fried

not really, i posted the server request at like 2 in the morning my time

my dad created a server for us to play on but rarely has time to play, he leaves the server open for me but its boring by myself, so if youre interested im just looking for one maybe a second person to play with, just post on here if you want to join and ill pm the ip, please dont share it anywhere i dont want the server to suddenly be packed, i dont mind new players either ive got lots for you to check out if youre new edit: i forgot to mention that we have b9 aerospace installed, so if you want to join you need it

ive been playing for about 5 years now

Such a kind human being, you restore my faith in humanity the asteroid isn't really for me, me and my dad are playing together on a multiplayer server and were supposed to finally have a full day to play on Sunday, so I tried my damnedest to learn how to catch one before that day so we could build a base, and I did it, surprisingly enough, I am pretty excited about building an asteroid base though, planning to get some more soon edit: heres a picture of the asteroid, the base im making around it is going along really nicely:

It would suck

im talking about the official definition in real life

youre a senior spacecraft engineer, asteroids have been around since .23, trust me im the noob here, i finally got around to it for the first time today edit: viewed your profile to check if i was being trolled, youve been here since .25, my apologies if i came off rude, i just wanted to enforce the fact that im a total noob trust me, my apologies as well for making assumptions, i come from the bungie forums, im sure youve seen what a toxic place that is edit 2: i also just realized you have a medical condition preventing you from playing, im so sorry, i feel bad now my condolences

well in the official definition, its never specified how the object ends up in a stable orbit, this is probably an extremely pointless discussion but lets have it anyway, so if a man made rocket intervenes and pulls an object that was made naturally into a stable orbit around the earth, since its not specified how an object gets captured, does it still count as a moon

actually, the only requirement an object needs to be a moon is that it is in orbit around a planetary body, though it is never specified whether it can be naturally formed but artificially placed in orbit, they never specify the exact conditions of objects getting into a stable orbit, vsauce has a great video about it, i just cant remember the title thats an overly complex way of thinking about it, you get a cookie

fair enough hahahaha, awesome you ripped the words right out of my mouth booooriiiiiing

well yea of course, in ksp all the orbits of the official legit moons are on rails, but i still like to classify my asteroids as moons, and what you have said to me justifies it well, therefore i name a new moon of kerbin, the rubble

its technically all still natural material, does it therefore still count as a natural satellite?

ya it did, it exploded when left completely alone i just ordered 2 pieces from eucle3d, and i finally got this joke after reading this for the 4th time, very clever you get a cookie

me and my dad are running a server and decided to install b9 aerospace, is there a faster way to get rid of the ban on all the parts than going through and entering every name of every part

i was wondering what is possible for graphics enhancements with my current build, im hoping to get at least 40 fps specs: amd a10 7850k 3.7GHz 2x 8GB g-skill ripjaws 2133MHz ram

what even, can plasma engines actually produce that kind of specific impulse irl, if so, why are not using them for everything, this is amazing

im using 16 gb of ram with a speed of 1333mhz, i was just wondering if i would see better performance with my 2133 16 gb ram thats on the way, i know that mods sometimes require a lot of ram and in particular the mods im using probably require quite a bit, when theres no mods, or less ram heavy mods the game runs perfectly, so im wondering if the speed of my ram has anything to do with it

azidoazide azide, true story

im running on 1.0.4(my mods havent been updated for 1.0.5 yet)

if not is there anything i can still use to make a ridiculously fast speedboat?
