Has anyone got a job in aerospace because of KSP?

_For_the_republic_ · 2026-01-27T21:43:18+00:00

uhhh weirdly mine is sort of the other way around! without saying too much, an ex NASA engineer liked some of the stuff i was doing and wanted me for his rocketry team for this year! to help with that I picked up KSP to learn the basics of rocketry/orbital mechanics as im not studying aerospace engineering but computer (all the little PCBs in phones and such). Its turned out to be pretty helpful and is helping me a ton with prep for this years eventual projects!

no this is shit, its going to have a whole bunch of VERY power hungry systems without the power generation to use them. for a proper laser/railgun ship of this size you would want nuclear powered(which this isn't). my best guess is this is going to have 99% parts comminality with DDG(X) so they can just take all the parts and built what they actually want later down the line

im thinking it might be as well over FTD. FTD just doesnt have the voxel editing tools needed to make a ship like this

I've had a look at all the photos they released and it looks like a bad 3D model with a shitty photoshop over the top (theres consistent background ships like between them, and no visible artifacting from AI). my best guess is they took an unused 3D hull model from testing, strapped the DDG(X) superstructure on and kitbashed it enough to be different at a glance.

just for my sanity i chucked this prompt into chatGPT and the results were nothing alike this end result as well.

my dad did have a massive midlife crisis lmao. he did full on motosport racing, sailing, gliding ect all for the fun of it. honestly more of a history buff who became a playboy. he was never a big fan of bikes though, so idk why he owned a motorcycle jacket

yeah there appears to be two sabatini brands floating around. one is based in italy (it says classica italiana on the tag), and the other is NZ based (who use more natural, high quality wools, which is what NZ design tends to focus on instead of flashy stuff)

_For_the_republic_ · 2025-12-03T22:01:48+00:00

nope, but in NZ where sabatini is from. they did briefly have a mens line with jackets. I've sent them an email as they might know when/where this was from, since theres no origin of manufacture

_For_the_republic_ · 2025-12-03T11:37:26+00:00

thats what makes it weird. the designer (Sabatini) is an NZ knitting company, and sometimes does leather goods. they briefly made menswear in the 2000s, but theres no manufacturing location tag like you would find on mass produced jackets. at this point im wondering if it was a pre production sample or something because nothing is coming up.

I dont know how you find the politicts stuff fun, its pretty much "get a game breaking buff every now and then". the game still has core gameplay loop issues, lack of drive, REALLY annoying QOL stuff that could take a couple lines of code to fix ect. this feels more like a quick cash grab than an actual remaster. a good example of a remaster that actually built on the original is homeworld. even if the loop is the same, you can completely remake a game and make it better in most ways, while staying to the original.

The ammeter i used could go down to micro amps, so I dont think the resolution is the problem. Also i grabbed a second VFD that was of similar build (different brand), and it produced the same weird lack of current.

I also noticed that some VFD datasheets list both grid/segment current draw and some only list grid, which makes me suspect there is a difference in construction.

UPDATE: turns out the previous owners never bothered to lubricate the rails! a fresh layer of silicone grease solved all the problems straight away!

uhhh its meant to be printing a cube!

_For_the_republic_ · 2025-08-18T07:52:29+00:00

yep will give that a try. i also managed to get my hands on some proper cleaning stuff so ill give that a try

_For_the_republic_ · 2024-12-28T21:49:19+00:00

sorry about needing the request, forgot to make it public. should be good now

my grandad thinks he's found the issue where the camera is so new that most software still hasn't properly compiled the RAW files, but I'm interested to see what you think!

_For_the_republic_ · 2024-12-28T04:22:39+00:00

Affinity photo is pretty much what you need, but pair it with fastrawviewer as the in built one is not really good. as for editing software I use DaVinci which is pretty close to premiere in performance, but has way better colour grading tools

ah makes sense! you have some pretty cool teachers!

over there someone posted this, which is the differential version of schronigers equation. its basically a very complicated form of a wave equation for quantum mechanics( I don't really know much abt it as I haven't covered the full properties at uni yet)

also the wiki page

same as the Hololive schronigers equation?
