klesh Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Very cool! Continually amazed at the life that gets injected into this game. I had the pleasure of making a Rosetta recreation back in the day when it happened. I also saw a press conference with the Rosetta team where a reporter asked the inevitable KSP question and one of the scientists said she liked the game. I pinched my nose and reluctantly made a twitter, and tweeted my screenshot of Rosetta telling her how proud I was of them and that I was following along at home with my dumb KSP version. She actually replied and liked or whatever you do to posts and I got a warm fuzzy inside. It was a charming little connection with a real scientist doing real science stuff half a wold away. Thanks KSP!

Poodmund Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Its pretty obvious, now, that the collaboration was started when the Mainsail got redone to look like a Vulcain motor but it still doesn't answer why SQUAD chose to make it the Mainsail rather than the Skipper. If you end up making a 2.5m diameter Ariane 5 replica with 2 Pollux SRBs and a Mainsail core the thing is going to jump off the pad and hit Mach 1 before you even know whats happening. With a 2.5m version you're looking at 1500m/s left when in orbit with a payload of 10 tons but you get a TWR off the pad of 2... which quickly ramps to 3 after a few seconds. Which is WAY too much. I guess it depends on scale. The Mainsail is 2.5m but, really, if you're doing an Ariane 5 build it would be more accurate to use a diameter of 3.75m... which means the launch TWR with a Mainsail and 2 of the biggest Clydesdale SRBs is actually not bad (around 1.3), however, this is with around 30 tons of payload and gets you into LEO with around 2500m/s of dV left when in orbit. The Ariane 5 in reality can only get around 10 tons to GTO. So scale is the problem. But its always been the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Terrier (or if you want it bigger the Wolfhound) would make a decent Aestus look-alike They don't really care about duplicates though. Now we have both Skiff and Rhino for J-2; and Twin-Boar and Mammoth for F1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoMrBond Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Awesome, I wonder what engine enhancements and new parts we'll see to enable this? i.e. ability to orbit asteroids, tiny surface harpoons (Philae mini-claw?), potential new science instruments (Alice/OSIRIS/VIRTIS/MIRO/CONSERT/RSI/ROSINA/MIDAS/COSIMA/GIADA/RPC & APXS/CIVA/CONSERT/COSAC/MUPUS/Ptolemy/ROLIS/ROMAP/SD2/SESAME) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowburn10 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 This is great news! I've been dying to see more updates to 1.10 since the orange jool post (which despite being an april fools joke, the planet still looks amazing redone) and I've been hoping to see some more pictures of potentially redesigned planets. And I'm always a sucker for new parts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muetdhiver Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 This is great ! I'm quite a fan of the BepiColombo mission. Now I have to finish my KSP grav assist planner based on ESA ACT python package to fully replicate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unrelated- what is Wehrner doing in space? Or does Jeb/Bill/Bob wear glasses now due to too many unplanned disassemblies/flight reverts/staring at the sun for too long? Can't be Wehrner - no pencil thin mustache! I guess he could have shaved, but who would ever shave a mustache like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corax Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 In case there is any uncertainty, Milka≠Milka, and Cadbury≠Cadbury, but Milka=Cadbury. Both were bought by Kraft Foods and now are just shadows of their former selves, or so I'm told... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 This is extremely cool! New parts are nice (a Soyuz-style capsule visually compatible with the spherical pods would be cool and Ariane parts are always welcome), but I'm most looking forward to the comets and, I hope, a fully visually refreshed Kerbolar system... and perhaps a few remaining irritating bugs squashed, like the one with mirror symmetry and collapsing light landing legs? Thanks SQUAD for keeping the flame burning. I'm much more hyped for this than I am for KSP2 at this point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zer0Kerbal Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 +2 Good to know release date for 1.10 - very helpful for those who mod. Looking forward to more teasers!
