Dr. Kerbal Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hi. I’m mean. How would menuvers nodes work in KSP2?p when going Intertersteller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bej Kerman Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Manoeuvres now take into account burn times when calculating the final trajectory so they will work fine with multi-year burns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlutoISaPlanet Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Good question.... I would just have to assume that it would work like ksp 1. You see a star/system, you mess with manuever nodes, and you get a encounter. I know that is a simplification, but thats the way I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Kerbal Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 Then would their be a black hole? And all the star orbit it or woukfpd the ship just float in empty controlled space? 17 minutes ago, PlutoISaPlanet said: Good question.... I would just have to assume that it would work like ksp 1.

Multi Year burns! Jeez! Would physical time warp go to Timewarp x1000000000?! Image all the Kraken attacks. Just now, Dr. Kerbal said: Multi Year burns! Jeez!

Timewarp won't have to go that far up, transits should only take many decades at most. 10 minutes ago, Dr. Kerbal said: 10 minutes ago, Dr. Kerbal said: Multi Year burns! Jeez!

JcoolTheShipbuilder Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Phys warp likely won’t go past 10x there will likely be something like persistent thrust, where you can go into on rails time warp with an engine on and still accelerate and use fuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlutoISaPlanet Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I thought they said their would be a different map or mission planner for interstellar, but I could be confusing this for the delta v mission planner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would separating the map for interplanetary and interstellar serve any purpose but to make planning medium distance manoeuvres difficult?

Do you think we're gonna have to cut the engines? In real life that would almost certainly never be done. The delta-v losses of just pitching around mid trajectory would be relatively miniscule and it's hell on an engine to cycle it like that when it's supposed to go steady state for years at a time. Imagine someone turning that 100 year light bulb off and back on again. I'd shiver... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
