Ship name "printed" on the side
Darnok replied to SebLavK's topic in KSP1 Suggestions & Development Discussion
We can put flag on any part? -

I would like to see this as tweakable right next to flag button. -

Cheat option: infinite electricity
Darnok replied to Gameslinx's topic in KSP1 Suggestions & Development Discussion
You can always disable 1 battery and if you run out of power enable it for few seconds, after your craft starts producing power again disable it for future use. Btw I call it hibernation mode -
KSP 2.0 - What would you expect (or wish) for a sequel?
Darnok replied to carlorizzante's topic in KSP1 Discussion
KSP 2.0 DoTa - every few months aliens sends their minions to conquer planet, your mission is to place defences near KSC and cities to have funds income and winning condition is to find alien bases and upload them deadly virus Kerbals vs Asteroids - aliens are redirecting asteroids to destroy KSC your mission is to put in orbit enough lasers or other weapons to be able to defend Kerbals. Each Kerbal city is providing you additions funds, tech and other resources if you let too many cities get destroyed your progress will be too slow and you will lose. KSP Exploration MMO - multiplayer hosted on Squads servers with interstellar capability, each solar system is different and is hosted physically on different server, but we can travel between them after we boost our boosters with real money KSP RPG MMO - PC players can play as corporation owners and make plans, build ships to conquer space, PS4 players can be only pilots, getting quests and funds they are able to upgrade and buy new ships to travel to new planets. KSP Space Sim - You have corporation building space crafts, your job is to find, gather, transport and sell resources around solar system. Kerbals having enough resources are going to build new bases, outposts, cities and terraform new planets. -
But that doesn't makes sense if we have both jet engines and intakes as separate parts. It would be ok if intake and jet engine would be single large part with CoM like you said.
-
I turns out that it is not rotation gizmo issue just jet engines and rapier have broken CoM :/ It is far to high.
-
Put two parts one as root and second radially (for example tank), rotate tank by 90deg and attach engine on bottom node. Look at CoM it is going up and if you remove fuel from rotated tank CoM is going even further up.

Constellation Mission Packs Discussion Thread!
Darnok replied to Mad Rocket Scientist's topic in KSP1 The Spacecraft Exchange
Does it have to be replica? Or you also accept vehicles with similar functions? -
I support idea of new planet. If devs added female kerbal as "very important content" then new planets should have priority of female kerbal ^ 2. It would be nice to have random planet. I do understand that planets in KSP are on rails, but size, textures, biomes, temperatures, atmo or no atmo, mass and all other planetary attributes should be randomized a bit. So for every new game (even in sandbox) we would get something new unexplored just to have more fun.

On second picture it looks like very sharp edges in center of that crater or it just me

And how you calculate speed without length unit? And how you can calculate distance without unit? Time is also inaccurate, so is speed of light, because to measure the duration of 9192631770 periods of the caesium 133 atom you also needed OLD time unit. So basically we are using meters calculated using old-inaccurate meters and second calculated using old-inaccurate seconds... and we call that science
-
If you need distance and speed, so you need old value of your length unit? Without it you can say 1/random number = 1 meter
-
Metric you say... ok so 1 meter is calculated as 1 second / speed of light in m/s. So you are calculating 1 meter using meters per second, where did you get "old" value of meter from? And how accurate it can be? Not to mention how second is calculated and how many errors we get using both in one equation I am not from USA and not really like miles and inches etc, but meters suck.
-
I think there is possible to make parts limit to be almost unlimited... we would need switch "physics on/off", so if you have placed your building you click physics off and it will only render textures and collisions as for static object (for example building in KSC).
-
Really? So there is single consistent theory about movement of particles, planets, stars and galaxies?
-
I know, I do understand them (not all, but most of them)... but if I want to simplify few things I have to start from scratch, I can't go further with fundamentally broken hypothesis (theory is something that was proven not only on paper, right?). And simplest thing I can think about is basic structure of universe, before we can say what is universe we should think about "what values can be stored in universe in plain/raw form". Just like I was saying few posts before speed/velocity for me is construct (calculated from positions and vector of object in some imaginary time span) not a raw value stored by universe. Same is mass and gravity, space pressure can replace it, from human perspective it works same between two objects we can measure force. But grid with nodes is simpler than magical and not yet discovered force pulling object towards each other, I know about Higgs Boson, but its existence doesn't prove it does what Higgs claimed in his calculations. And methodology of science saddens me because most of people is looking for answer for single question. But they are forgetting that making experiment for example with Higgs Boson they are looking for things to confirm calculations from hypothesis, but you may at same time misinterpret results of experiment. At same time you can miss the real image of universe. Also @LN400 saying that some hypothesis are faulty should lead you to conclusion that they may be fundamentally wrong. It is like with basic math in school, if you get exercise a very clever one and few students is going to interpret them same exercise in very different way. For example one of given values is 4 and you have to create right equation to solve it and you know that solution is 2: √4 = 2 4 / 2 = 2 4 - 2 = 2 Who is right? We can't be sure, unless there is second part of exercise with different given value like 8 and correct answer is 4: √8 = 2,82 8 / 2 = 4 8 - 2 = 6 so now you are sure who done it correct But science in that kind of situation is doing something very wrong, some people are saying ok but 8 - 2*2 = 4 because it is special case just for this range of given values. Well in school you would fail that exam, but in science with right authority you may even get awarded They don't even try to think that they made fundamentally wrong equation, they are shuffling ranges, values to create special case/exception for their hypothesis. I know, but first I need to imagine the right way?

Just wrong use of words I was thinking about ship that is outside of galaxy and it is not moving at all ( I know in relation to what? ), but galaxy is running away from him.
-
Space pressure is not scientific term because science is focused around gravity and mass? But they are trying to make graceful transition towards space pressure using dark matter and dark energy and adding some magical dimension where both of them are stored. As for photon look at my posts in this thread two of them should give you hint why photon maybe particle looking like wave because of errors in our tools we are using to measure it. You can't think on your own without authority of others? How do you think new theories are created? Someone had to think that things described by others are wrong
-
You are aware it was never tested? I wonder what if we have two ships, one is travelling inside galaxy with 0.99c and other is outside of galaxy with zero speed relative to galaxy and galaxy is getting further away from him. So if you would try to shoot laser beams between those ships then guy on 0.99c ship would never see it, while guy on ship that is not moving would be able to see it?
