0.90 makes RoverDude's Alcubierre drive so much more usable. *Set target. *SAS target mode. *Go! Shame it's still a death sentence. The drive is way better than it was during the preview release though. It doesn't seem to slowly destroy the ship any more. Admittedly that was kind of fun, but not great for survivability. Being able to disable the proximity safety would be a nice feature, even if it causes a severe ISP penalty, shield shrinkage, failure or other fun things when it hits an atmosphere.

Dekko posted:Are you talking about the actual in-atmosphere scoop, or the one you can use in space? I've only used the latter but it does take absolutely forever to fill a few tanks (which is fair enough considering its a way of getting endless, free fuel without the hassle of launching/landing rockets). Which scoop can get Karbonite in the vacuum of space? I put that GIANT yellow dish-looking collector on a space station and it doesn't gather Karbonite. I must have misunderstood the information text for the part.

I must have misunderstood the information text for the part. The particle collector collects karbonite, it is a 2.5m white part which looks like a big air intake. The one that is very large and looks like a dish is, I think, designed to collect karborundum from the sun, which is a rare resource designed to power the super engines from the karbonite plus pack. Particle collectors work close to the atmosphere of planets which have karbonite in the atmosphere, and in locations with karbonite in the gravity well, which are few.

Also for the Karbonite particle collector, it has to be within atmosphere + 10%, eg. 77km for Kerbin , for it to be able to collect Karbonite particles, it's also quite slow but you can make up a array of them hanging off the side of your station for free fuel forever.

Ah okay. My station sits at 85k. That's the issue.

I see all these cool looking designs around but what I really feel is missing from the kerbal community is spaceships that look like rear end It's purpose is to truck things around to Kerbin's moons and back, and also make whoever is driving it regret their life choices.

So, today I farmed some Fine Print survey contracts on Kerbin. My trusty plane (posted a few pages back) the Triangle (great name) joined me for a 3 hour long fun session getting Jeb and Bill around. This is whatw the plane looked like by the time I was done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJx_sv9yyP8

Yeah. It gets like three particles per orbit. I gave up on it after my epic adventure with a rig specifically built to find where the hell the sweet spot for atmospheric edge Karbonite was. The only good parts of that mission were that the craft reminded me of a flying Lamprey and the satisfaction I got from spearing it into the ground.

Philonius posted:That's exactly my own experience with this mod. I constantly had the feeling that I've just not been given the tools to complete the job; it's tuned tightly enough that there's really only one path you can take to eke out enough science to get additional parts. And even that doesn't help much. Elementary components like radial decouplers or solar panels are far, far down in the tech tree. I gave up on it after trying to fit 40-50 heavy batteries on my munprobe. Don't understand the reasoning behind it either. The first real life spacecraft to use solar panels was launched in 1958. I haven't used BTSM in a while so I'm not sure why I'm bothering defending it, but it isn't meant to be a realism mod. It's more of a challenge and logical progression overhaul (withhin the bounds of the KSP game/engine), forcing batteries is a way to drive away over engineering and keeping solar panels late keeps you from progressing to interstellar travel early on. Flowerchild is definitely on the overly aggressive jerk side, to include trying to sabotage other moddering efforts in the past, but the guy has the right to make a mod and build it however he wants.

I am however getting a weird bug where if I launch a ship that has multiple parts docked together, and then dock it with my space station, I become unable to go to the space center or switch to other distant ships using the map. And since there is no easy way to exit to main menu I have to quicksave and alt-f4. Very annoying but after one more docking I should be done with this station, hopefully.

This is annoying. Got a ship to the Mon but apparently the fairing base attached under my rocket is blocking the thrust so I get no propulsion. Guess I get to send out a rescue mission since I didn't put a decoupler between the two and Jeb isn't resourceful enough to break it off it seems.

Philonius posted:It's a shame, cause I really like the notion of a slightly more realistic progression. I would love a career mode were you start off with RoverDude's sounding rockets and have to work your way up to Sputnik-type probes and finally manned flights. Ideally, with RemoteTech style comms rules (plus allowing you to program nodes into the flight computer in the VAB). That would even be great for the stock game, though it's bot very compatible with the whole climb-aboard-and-light-it-up ethos that I love in KSP.

I think they're conflating events because afaicr FlowerChild never deliberately hosed with other people's mods, but he definitely has a history of playing super poorly with others. I don't remember the details but for a bit he was working with a few other modders on an API and basically everything he checked in was a) solely for his own mod to have hooks and b) generally hosed over the other contributors by calling things in a really obtuse way. Also for a while if you decided you didn't want to play with his mod anymore you had to do a clean install because it replaced the game's .class files with his own. There was another modder that had code which checked for the presence of a few goon-made mods and made the world full of actual virtual exploding bees upon detection, but FlowerChild never went quite that far (unless I missed something more recent).
