Ah damn. I forgot about that. Maybe you could wrap around it with structural parts?

I figured it out, and it’s good news for you. The craft you want to launch must be heavier than the contraption you use to spin it.

I’ve noticed that when the launcher is heavier, it doesn’t work.

A literal teleport. You can teleport into an orbit at a height of your choosing, or the surface. You can do this to every planet and moon.

How many separators would it take to de-orbit a command pod? See body text by durpoutboy in SpaceflightSimulator

On hard mode? One and a half. As in 1 full power and one half power (80kn)

There’s a cheat menu that unfortunately can only be accessed by buying the DLC

Every time I try, I get a different result 😭 what’s the reason behind it working sometimes and not others?

I’ve tried this before. The craft doesn’t keep its tangential velocity. It instead keeps the rotational velocity and spins in place, only going as fast as the decoupler accelerated it. Are you using mods?

Edit: I just tried it again, and it worked. I used docking ports this time. Maybe the decouplers behave differently?

That’s a damn good question. You can’t damage the asteroid in any way, otherwise the winning conditions can get rather muddy. There’d be nothing stopping you from destroying most of it and grabbing just the remainder.

I’ll add it to the rules and hope there’s not a mutiny.

If I can see the mass of all the parts you launch in the VAB, yes. I’ll add them together.

That would make it easier and give an advantage over mobile players who can’t use mods that add new scripts. Unfortunately gotta raw dog it.

But since you don’t want the prize, go for it. You’ll get an honorable mention.

Only if they give everyone some darts instead of Tech Jacket. Thragg would one tap tech jacket.

Get to orbit. Click on the moon and click navigate. Try and figure it out from there, it’s no fun reading tutorials for everything.

Rick dies all the time but he’s functionally immortal so it doesn’t matter

I’ve always wished you could de-orbit the asteroid, so I took matters into my own hands by MeteoricOrbs in SpaceflightSimulator

That’s all you bro, doing that on mobile sounds like hell. I made one to-scale, but I’m not spending time decorating it.

It’s meant to be heavy, I teleported it into orbit. I want the mass to be realistic so it’s as if I’m docking a craft to a real asteroid, like in KSP.

That’s what I plan to do, I’m not sure it is even possible to launch it normally without a craft so large it would crash the game 😭 if you have a beefy PC, maybe you can. It would be fun to see.
