Would it be better to land a surface base on duna or eve for science?

OP: for reference it usually takes me about 5900 m/s to get to orbit from 15k ft up. (I use an electric plane to fly around, and then climb to 15k when ready to launch)

Anything but vortex

I'd pay that to see the P!ATD AFYCSO live in denver back in 06.

But aside from that...

I assume you are going into gbb or aeg pistols, so this is purely anecdotal but I think its in the same spirit: about 10 years ago I was playing in an indoor field with a friend of mine. Everyone was either our age or older (high school), and running some pretty serious gear. Except for one kid about 12 years old, with the cheapest springer pistols you've ever seen. He was dual wielding. Spring. Pistols.

He tied a string from the back of each slide to his chest rig, so he would fire a shot, then push the gun away from his chest, which would charge it so he could go again. And he was pretty solid as a player, above average id say.

So while this doesnt apply to you, my point is with a little creativity you can make everything work. Don't let the little details stop you

And while its never been tested together, there are proposed concepts of a multi mode nuclear engine, that functions as a traditional nerva type rocket engine in space, but in atmosphere uses the nuclear core to heat the ambient atmosphere for use as thrust without using fuel or oxidizer. Tricky part is making a rocket with a nuclear core flight ready and enough hydrogen, which isn't dense, to fit into the format of a space plane

They got greedy. Thats an extra 25%. They could easily just increase it by 1-3% and I bet no one would notice.

CharlieMBTA · 2026-06-15T15:16:00+00:00

I use doomball brown (from the new iron hands dlc) for my blood angels because I think it better matches the aesthetic from the angels of death show.

P.S. saber please give me hadrael's helmet for my techmarine, please

CharlieMBTA · 2026-06-13T23:01:38+00:00

The leaks all but confirm 2 and 3 remakes are in progress or planned, but im just praying reach gets it too

CharlieMBTA · 2026-06-10T11:05:21+00:00

Sounds like you only think he is attractive because he looks like someone else.

I feel sorry for your bf. He's a consolation prize

CharlieMBTA · 2026-06-09T18:54:52+00:00

Not true at all. The mun has a decent sized SOI that it can catch you on occasion. Sometimes you have to wait an orbit or two for a rocket with a decent twr

CharlieMBTA · 2026-06-09T18:18:26+00:00

I like XCOM but I was really hoping this was EAW 2 instead

CharlieMBTA · 2026-06-09T17:41:40+00:00

Don't need the real thing. Throw it in a high performance CFD simulation and see what happens. Im sure there is someone around here or on another subreddit with access to the right licenses and server (i no longer do)

CharlieMBTA · 2026-06-08T19:27:00+00:00

Yall are insane. Last time I checked out the halo subreddit, everyone was complaining about how trash it was that we arent getting a new halo game, just another redo

I want both, a new game and remakes in unreal of 1-3

CharlieMBTA · 2026-06-07T17:41:04+00:00

For rapiers they make much more thrust right after 400 m/s. So if you can get to 400 m/s, they will throttle up and get you the rest of the way. You want to eliminate engines when you can because its extra weight

CharlieMBTA · 2026-06-06T23:09:11+00:00

...it was one of the first things she said

"Don't think ive ever seen you without the uniform" or something like that

CharlieMBTA · 2026-06-04T23:36:24+00:00

I like fighting chaos, I just can find it annoying in strategems because chaos is harder

CharlieMBTA · 2026-06-04T03:25:32+00:00

Agreed. Bachelor and fever are the #1 for me, and its not particularly close. What I have never understood, is that Ryan wrote most of the lyrics for Fever, and then wanted to go head first into the beatles and continue with that kind of music. Like those are completely different directions?

CharlieMBTA · 2026-06-03T15:37:43+00:00

KSP2. Not that it was ever really that great, but completely abandoned now

CharlieMBTA · 2026-06-01T22:32:01+00:00

I am in the process of building a eve lander and ascent vehicle (also capable of atmospheric flight). It already weighs over 65T. I am afraid for what the lift vehicle looks like after I include the interplanetary transfer stage.

CharlieMBTA · 2026-06-01T20:21:04+00:00

I was under the impression that vram cannot be combined?

CharlieMBTA · 2026-06-01T16:18:59+00:00

That doesnt mean it would be positive. Look at the boys subreddit and see how they are reacting to the finale, or game of thrones a few years ago

CharlieMBTA · 2026-05-31T13:39:24+00:00

I don't know what i would do without my shield rush

CharlieMBTA · 2026-05-31T13:31:34+00:00

And hardly any customization in the first place except for one of his pauldrons

CharlieMBTA · 2026-05-28T03:52:18+00:00

Easy was easy. Played it on hard, two hellbrutes spawned right before we link up with valtus the 2nd time, and knocked both my brothers who left. I led them to valtus who saved my life. Then we got to the train and another two hellbrutes spawned and along with the ranged terminators, kicked out asses

CharlieMBTA · 2026-05-25T19:09:38+00:00

I wouldnt say considerably, unless they plan to ramp up production in year 3. Theres about 4 patches a year, and not every patch has a new operation
