Or Jool, perhaps? The space program has crumbled to bankruptcy every time the World's Firsters have checked their archives and issued chargebacks on all the wrongly re-awarded awards? I think I am starting to understand...

Another possible cause is something new overwriting the mass after the asteroid has been generated. Did they mention something about reloading assets while the game is running to speed up development and testing in dev notes before 1.1? Such a feature could do it. As to how the mass is calculated, I would hazard a guess that they would calculate the volume of the asteroid and multiply it by a constant density. Throw in a random factor for ore content and you are all set. One could calculate the exact volume from the generated mesh, but since real asteroids are not all exactly the same density you would get away with estimating it from the average radius with the sphere volume formula. If you cannot access the average radius used to generate the mesh you may have to estimate that too. Averaging a few random vertices from the mesh should get you close enough.

Yup, and not just one change either: As someone who has been there and done that I feel really sorry for @NathanKell; Any half-decent QA process should have stopped these on their tracks before they reached a release. Any fully decent process would have stopped them before reaching the master branch. But we know how rare a fully decent QA process is on the enterprise software side of the business, and we're swimming in budget compared to game industry.

Astronaut Center. Thst is where I recruit them from.

It works like that on Linux. 400% CPU utilization FTW!

You know, I do really wonder who goes around throwing these pebbles about. Great aim though.

Take her out to the black. Tell them she ain't coming back. Then you can stay.

My 0.02€: Equating rockets.

I find those uneclipsed clouds above the eclipsed surface especially haunting...

We need more of this attitude on this forum. Kudos to you! On the topic, I have used them as second stage engines when I need to shave just a meter off the top to fit in the earlier pads' limits. Also when I lack a suitable 2.5m engine to use inline on a stack of that size.

IIRC what I have seen suggests the raw dV needed is actually noticeably less, but you need to pack it in a lot more aerodynamic shape. Haven't been there nor done that though, so it's all second/third/... hand information.

I think I saw some of those around just the other day... Okay, they were stock, that makes them a little clumsier looking. By MattiPaavola (Own work) [CC BY-SA 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0) or GFDL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html)], via Wikimedia Commons

"BLT?" ... "BLT?" ... "Where's my BLT!" Enter Lunch Lady. The first on that list no doubt discovered by Dr. Murrell Kerman. Comic Sans on my Ubuntu box. Tested with Opera and FF. (I do have the windows font package installed for Wine)

T30: First available, and a cluster of seven gives a Mainsail a run for it's money. In fact I never use a Mainsail, as I find the Twin Boar superior and they are in the same tech node. Mk55: Can add nice oomph to a 1.25m stack when you really need it. Also makes for a great zero-length sustainer engine, which allows me to fit longer stacks under the early VAB/pad limits.

Oh I use it with my early planes all right. In fact those planes could barely get in the air if not for the helpful bumps giving them a nice... bump up into the air. Of course this works for take-off only, but honestly, rarely if ever those planes have enough fuel and/or stability to make it back to anywhere near the KSC. Let alone attempt landing on the runway.

It did, to me anyway. I doubt it, there's a lot that's still untold before Edgas was shot to the Mün... will shoot for the Mün... oh, whatever!

Yes, really. If you want to build a TARDIS, don't expect the interiors to make sense in euclidean space. But if you don't mind, then clip away!

That bar reminded me about another one, a universe away. A place named after a musical instrument that has been restored to functional status. Also, surprised me with the origin of the RSFs. Well done!

I remembered right. The terrain scatter memory leak was mentioned as fixed in 1.0 release notes.

Here: http://everything2.com/title/thrust+termination Bummer, links won't work when posting from my phone.

AFAIK KSP does not model airflow interactions between any parts. So no, slats just won't work. Flaps only work by increasing their own lift with AoA, too. Although it could be possible for the control surface module to modify the Cl of the parent part depending on the deployed status of the flap/slat...

Probe cores, mostly. Sometimes batteries, monoprop or science instrumets if a station needs lots of those. But I do build my early career satellites out of 1.25m service bays, up to the point I get around to unlocking fairings. Take one service bay and put an OKTO inside. Add a Communotron 16 on a free node and rotate it so it points out from one of the hatches. Put an OX-STAT on either side of the probe core, and add science instuments to taste - or contract requirements. Close hatches, stack a few on top of a launcher with decouplers in between. Top it off with a decoupler and nosecone, launch and profit. Unless you mess up the staging list, like I have a few times. Nothing like staging to lose the nose cone and seeing the entire stack of expensive satellites float off way before reaching the first contracted orbit without any means of propulsion...

So, could you just switch to any of those from the tracking station? Should you choose to drop the role play and just do that. Because, if not but you have instead managed to rig them up so you have to approach them with a ship before you can switch to them, I want to ask you how.

No, but I am not arguing with you for taking it slower. Here, let me make it easier to read: My argument is with your calling others impatient. You should not feel invalidated because other people choose to play with a more rushed pace than you.

Yes, that's all right and a good way to have fun. Does that excuse calling us, who can spare less than 10 hours a month to play, impatient for wanting to proceed a little quicker?
