And, wow awesome! 5 hours ago, FreeThinker said: Btw, notice the Alcubiere Warpdrive can also be used to redevous with any target, simply select as a target, and head streight for it. It will automaticly jump out of warp at the exact moment, it is the closest to the target and it orbit will perfectly match with the target. After that its just a matter of applying some RCS to dock with it. Notice the auto dropping out will also work when traveling to any planet, it will even automaticly slow down and prevent you from flying into the planet and atmosphere. That is super cool! Absolutely going to lead with that in the next tutorial. I'll also try to address the [many] errors I made in this one. Next one is to be on the magnetic scoop. That is a fun and interesting device. I'll try to make it a little shorter in length. cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be possible to in less than 10 minutes. The trick will be to navigate the most optimal path between all bodies and don't be afraid use the MAX speed button Edited September 20, 2019 by FreeThinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmborg Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Hello @FreeThinker, Until now I have beginning using the Kerbstein engine in (KspiEpstein, but now for the first time am also trying to use KspiEpsteinUDD) there is any fundamental change in those besides the fuel? Because after a few seconds of use the power drop to 1/3 I am still trying to find a way avoid this, I think that maybe is related with megajules or wastheat?

Most likely Wasteheat as it requires no power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmborg Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Hello, I confess that I still don't understand why this eve ship is performing below the expectations: Please note @FreeThinker that Fusion Ration is 0.341743 The question is what can I do to make it having 1.0? any hint? ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeThinker Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) @pmborg The Fusion engine start performing worse when overheating. To Solve, add more radiators. Notice In the next release I make the engine more wasteheat resistant and reduce wasteheat output. Edit: fixed version is available from here Edited September 22, 2019 by FreeThinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: Does it have to be a brand new ship launched from the pad on Kerbin or can it be a ship already in orbit around a body (counting that body as the starting point)? Because if it can be a ship I already have... I think I have a good candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmborg Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Problem solved, with your hint thanks once again: - removed the nuclear reactor once computer core have one in his core - doubled the size of radiators - doubled the radiators Fusion Ratio: 0.984569 is very acceptable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You rock! One tiny thing though. While the charging issue is for sure fixed, as far as I can tell, the warp trail is persistent on any vessel with two alcubierre drives. I tested with the folding and large warp drives, having two on the vessel causes the warp trail to show up (and extend far into the distance) whether the drive is active or not. It's just there. It does not appear to affect anything, gameplay wise, it's like a graphical glitch or something. I reverted back to 1.23.1 and the issue does not exist there (but the charging issue does) and also 1.23.4 has the persistent warp trail as well. Back to 1.23.5, still there. Appears on newly loaded vessels as well as those that were already in play. I have EVE and Scatterer installed, could it be a conflict with one of those visual mods? Is there a way to toggle the effect on and off, by chance? Let me know if you need more info. Thank you again for the update! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 10/2/2019 at 8:12 AM, Nansuchao said: Wonderful video, bad landing tough. So what happened was I ended up losing control of the vessel and the game itself. Nothing worked, not staging, not parachutes, not quick loading! I was able to eva one of the kerbals, thinking I'd be able to deploy chutes and save them, but I had no control over the kerbal as well. Couldn't switch vessels or anything. After the crash, I couldn't even open the escape menu. Game stuck, had to reload. So no, wasn't meant to crash but circumstance and laziness prevented me from doing a retake. It's a thing that has happened to me in kerbal before. Not an interstellar bug as it's happened without the mod even installed. Just cost of doing business when playing ksp and I figured it went with the theme of O Fortuna so... yeah, I left it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
