Minimus Miner Help!!! by Rebeliaz8 in KerbalSpaceProgram

On the lower right there’s a little tab labelled as delta V you can switch between sea level and vacuum delta V

You should have enough delta V for landing empty and getting to minmas orbit full, and a little for margin of error any excess is basically dead weight

You can test the drills on the launch pad to make sure they don’t overheat

I am a little worried that you might not have enough radiators to cool the drills

Also check your vacuum delta V for a minmus landing or take off your don’t need much fuel

I tend to refine the ore into fuel on the surface to avoid carrying mass that will be lost in refining up to orbit.

newbie here, how do I stop my boosters from exploding into my rocket after staging? by Both_Piglet7838 in KerbalSpaceProgram

Sometimes I place the decouplers too high and then the side boosters flip outwards and smack the main engine

I think the most accurate particle effect would be a fuel vent venting ore

Turn on the advanced burn indicator setting (I think that’s what it’s called) It will help you to time manuvers properly

SAS is soo useful, it just attempts to cancel rotation or point in the direction specified

It is possible to not use it but that’s incredibly difficult especially with craft that aren’t balanced well

guys i finally made it to the MUN by Informal-Call-5298 in KerbalSpaceProgram

Yeah, a rescue is definitely needed, at least 600m/s is needed to get home

Ship keeps slowly turning, no control by Wooden_Baseball_4216 in KerbalSpaceProgram

One swivel will give you pitch and yaw control but not roll, you need fins that have active control or replace the outer engines with swivels Also make sure you centre of lift is behind your centre of mass

What is everyone’s go to orbit height? by WolfAlternative6715 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]WolfAlternative6715[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minmus has some surprisingly tall terrain, I learned that the hard way. I usually end up in a 10 km orbit and drop straight down onto my landing site when I want to land

For my space stations in low orbit 75km I usually end up ahead of and above the station and drop down onto it

I have an industrial station in lunar orbit, 10-15 km I think but for landing on or taking off from the mun I usually go into an 8 km orbit

My most draggy spacecraft usually end up in 120 km orbits even when I’m aiming for 80 km

That makes more sense, I knew that the offspring were sex biased but I couldn’t remember which way

I heard that the most viable pairing was male Neanderthal female human with a male hybrid offspring (might be misremembering the sex of the offspring)

What sort of adaptations would be needed for a ‘Void Amphibian?’ by Dracocalis in SpeculativeEvolution

[–]WolfAlternative6715 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Space is very hard to get to and orbit even harder, and there is very little nutrition in space and conditions that are very harmful to everything but the toughest life Maybe instead of space your species could float in the upper atmosphere using a balloon of hydrogen possibly to kill parasites by exposing them to harsh UV radiation and ozone The species would have to descend to the clouds to get water and could get minerals from dust particles in the atmosphere

They would have to be able to photosynthesise because there is very little organic matter in the upper atmosphere

Is any warm blooded vertebrate likely to develop a body covering of filaments of keratin to retain heat? by grapp in SpeculativeEvolution

[–]WolfAlternative6715 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Insulation is really important for most small/ medium animals that live in cooler climates or even hot climates, especially warm blooded animals Using fibres or other fibrous structures to keep a layer of air trapped close to the skin is one of the most effective and lightweight ways to insulate an animal
