rootinit | It seems like it's best to use docking ports to reinforce them | 04:19:41 |

rootinit | Wow the structural joints are pretty weak. That stretched a ton | 16:42:49 |
Jesse | I was going to say struts, but there are plenty of struts | 17:31:49 |
Jesse | I forget what my go-to alternative to struts was | 17:32:00 |
Jesse | That looks like a construction crane | 17:32:18 |
rootinit | It's susposed to be a spin launcher | 18:49:42 |
rootinit | It can only handle 150 rpm empty | 18:50:06 |
rootinit | It's good for about 500ms dv | 18:50:47 |
rootinit | not much on kerbin but perhaps on mun | 18:51:04 |
rootinit | It has so many struts lmao | 18:51:28 |
rootinit | Also the electric motors can only spin it up to 40rpm on kerbin. Hoping more elsewhere | 18:52:08 |
rootinit | Problem is I strutted it until the thing that breaks is the actual motors explode. | 19:04:02 |
Jesse | I haven't tried a spin launcher. That's probably great for reusable low gravity stuff. What mass can that launch from Kerbin? | 21:09:39 |
Jesse | I guess you could also use it for a piecewise launcher to get a big station too | 21:10:19 |

nightmare cz | Hi | 08:15:53 |
harpercix | Hello! In one week our KSP's association will do a presentation of KSP for students in a space engineer school. Some teachers use KSP as homeworks. | 08:24:32 |
Jesse | That's really cool. Out of hobby interest I had read some really rudimentary stuff of how orbits work before playing KSP, but doing things in-game really helped understand it. | 16:18:44 |

@balotofi:matrix.org | I need someone to take me through how to play the game. Having a gaming partner would really help | 14:19:36 |
Jesse | I think KSP 2 will be multiplayer | 15:37:49 |
Jesse | I'm not free for it right now. But there are a few tutorials online and Scott Manley has become famous for his KSP videos | 15:38:18 |
Jesse | I'd say start with the game tutorials and I think campaign mode eases you into things also | 15:39:27 |
Jesse | I think the progression is to build a small rocket that you can get to land near where you want, progress to suborbital, add parachutes, add stages, add crew | 15:41:06 |
Jesse | Don't try to do it all at once, do it a step at a time until you feel you've got that part worked out | 15:41:34 |
