pwnedbyscope Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 i found that it was a probelm with the alt i was using the kas parts at, apperently they only work when they are so close to the parent body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astropapi1 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 How does this new gravity work? Do they have their own SOIs? Can you change their orbits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frizzank Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 How does this new gravity work? Do they have their own SOIs? Can you change their orbits?Its using the part gravity plugin, they are not planets. They have none of the behaviors of planets. Meaning you can change their orbits, but if you time warp wile landed on it without being docked you will likely explode. Just like real life!

KGas- Inc Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Frizz,I think we should put to rest the idea that people can land on asteroids in real life or in KSP! You Cant Land On Asteroids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong, see NEAR ShoemakerNo your right, fantastical ideas like landing on asteroids has no place in KSP. The serious space simulator that is exactly like real life in every way, and makes absolutely no compromises for the sake of things like game play and, or fun.

Greys Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Also the NASA ARU mission still has funding I thinkI love how every now and then a real respected science group will come out with an idea that sounds just stupid and makes it sound awesome"We're going to send a satellite out with a really big garbage bag, put an asteroid in it, and bring it back, cuz..."If that's not the spirit of America I don't know what is.Now somebody needs to make an asteroid transport bag part, cuz.

I can't tell you how much I agree that this is an idiotic idea. We can't agree on funding to go back to the moon or go forward to Mars, but apparently we have the funding for an asteroid lasso?

We can't agree on funding to go back to the moon or go forward to Mars, but apparently we have the funding for an asteroid lasso?Asteroids don't care if the mission takes years. Asteroids don't need food air or water. This means it is probably cheaper to move an asteroid into lunar orbit than manned moon and mars missions.

frizzank Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Has anyone else had problems with attaching to the new asteroids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devo Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Has anyone else had problems with attaching to the new asteroids?yes, they often have parts just fall off for no reason. example, I cant attach a command pod to them, even with struts or they just fall off on launch.I managed to get this snug fit under the wt-51, and managed to launch a few times, but other times the thing just detaches.. and other times it wont.. even with a billion struts.

frizzank Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 I think the gravity plugin is pulling on the parts making them unstable. I would use hyper edit or some other cheat to get them where they need to go. I may take off the gravity on the smallest one so its useable as a ship.

Blaylock1988 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I think I will stick with the non-gravity versions. Gravity will cause serious problems trying to dock with my asteroid-station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frizzank Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 I reverted the original asteroids to have no gravity and I made 2 new asteroids and put gravity just on them. As always delete your old mod before installing the new one.Spaceport Download LinkThe 2 largest asteroids have gravity, FASA_Asteroid400 and FASA_Asteroid_CraterGrav, the rest do not. If you would like gravity on all of them open up the cfg files for the ones that do not have gravity and replace module = CommandPodwith thismodule = ARGravitatingPartOr if you dont want gravity on them do it the other way around.The gravity part plugin does not create planets, so if you warp while close to them you will get problems.It is fun to land on them, or try to orbit them but again you have to use physics warp once your in close proximity.The small dot in the middle is Gemini orbiting the new large asteroid.

Devo Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Strange, when they had no gravity, got a lot of people saying "This would be awesome if they had gravity" and now that they have it I get people saying they are unusable?Well, I can use them, just nothing sticks to them that's all. I can't even hyperedit the ones with gravity because the parts fall off before I can even Alt-H and get into orbit. The ones without gravity work fine, hopefully someone comes up with a more efficient gravity plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somnambulist Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 What is the orbital velocity of the asteroids at, say, 100 meters?Given the radius and mass of the asteroids, it's going to be very, very low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
