astropapi1 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Hey, now, Harv's a great seamstress But wow... I'd love to know just how some of these got that broken xDI was just playing the game, mocking around with a Duna sat after it released it's lander, so I decided it would be fun to turn it into an Ike impactor (to make it pay for the lives of my first Duna probes, of course).I matched inclinations, circularized my orbit, aaaaaand tried to plot an encounter.YOU WIN THIS ROUND, IKE!

Holo Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 i always thought this was bad but i think OP is the winner!This is better than OP's, because it's the actual path you will take through space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holo Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 false advertisingWhy? That's not the path that the spaceship will actually take. It's a patched conics setting which shows the path relative to a moon, which will of course be weird since the moon follows its own path through space.I think he voided the warranty once the threw in the extra-planets mod.Don't worry, it's nothing to do with the extra-planets mod.

Deadweasel Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I've never used it, but I've heard that Hack Gravity can create some weird trajectories like that.On that note: something I discovered about this latest update. Hack Gravity is now persistent across launches. Used to be it reset if you left one ship and launched another. Now it stays on until specifically turned off.I ran into this after using the hack to test out a docking arrangement ground-side, then afterward switching over to a ship in orbit. I warped ahead so I could de-orbit it in daylight, but even though I was warping at 50x, the ship wasn't going anywhere relative to the ground. The surface speed read a paltry 250m/s, and yet there I was in an indicated stable orbit.... ?????I turned the ship and burned retrograde, and it was on a de-orbit trajectory in much shorter time than I expected. Eventually, I figured out what was going on when I shrugged it off, went back to do some stage testing, and the staged components just... hovered.

RocketTurtle Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Lol. Also, I can't seem to find the mod... anyone got a link?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadweasel Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Lol. Also, I can't seem to find the mod... anyone got a link?Thanks.What mod? You can edit [CONIC_PATCH_DRAW_MODE = 3] to be 0 in your settings.cfg.Or, if you want a mod to make it easy to switch between the modes, go get Maneuver Nodes Improvement (http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/maneuver-node-improvement/)or PreciseNode (http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/47863-0-22-PreciseNode-0-5-Interplanetary-Maneuver-Node-Assistant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadweasel Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Extra planet mod...Oh! You might be looking for this, then:http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/56993-Krag-s-Planet-Factory-New-PlanetsSide note: really loving the custom search of these forums for things like this. Can't recommend doing that enough to other Chrome users! "KSPF: [search term]" == More accurate results than the forums' crappy keyword-based search.

RocketTurtle Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Okay. Thanks, I had searched "ksp extra planet mod" in Google but didn't come up with much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadweasel Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Okay. Thanks, I had searched "ksp extra planet mod" in Google but didn't come up with much.There aren't enough folks out there referring to it as "KSP" for Google to get a good idea what you mean. I've figured out that if you want the most relevant results, you have to use the full name first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.R.L. Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I still like this escape trajectory. Thanks for that gravity assist, Mun.For some reason this made me laugh till I started to cry a little idk why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
