I like how he says something like "self-growing city" as though it was a well-solved problem. An engineer the man is definitely not! 🤷‍♂️

Thanks! Based on this I dug this out, it's got something similar on page 1-2, is that what you had in mind? https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19870011585/downloads/19870011585.pdf

Does anybody have links to any old-school orbital logistics posters such as this one? This particular one's from the paper on "Space Colonies" by the stanford university. I'm mostly after stylistic inspiration, not so much the system displayed, so I'm not looking for the modern rendered ones...

And here's the update. Small one, contains the new graphic posted above for argosy, and a codex entry for the Huangshan Union and the Confederatio Holocrata: https://randomactsofconstruction.itch.io/orbital-margins/devlog/1353890/patch-notes-0151 And a new state vector, where I'm mostly...

Technically correct, but so is the "by the seat of your pants"-flying that many of us do and which is indeed a problem with that lighting. Just because it's realistic doesn't mean it's playable...

I have to wonder, do they really think people are still buying that? There isn't a conceivable scenario in which Artemis is ever going to be "affordable"...

It's been decades since I played it and I hadn't thought of it while writing, but now that you mention it, I can totally see that! :D

I'm finally starting to put down some codex entries for the factions, and I thought I'd take a bit of a different approach than with the history articles. Rather than a "word of god" style explanation of the factions, I think it might be fun to have a few outtakes of in-universe prose discussing...

He would definitely complain about having to share the capsule...

Considering the way the thread was going, you could have taken a certain scene from the third movie, though that would probably have raised more questions about german humor... :ROFLMAO:

That was... less bad than expected from the thumbnail, I guess (if I wouldn't understand the lyrics, it might be downright catchy...)? Also a bit of a black swan event. I had never considered an intersection between Schlager and "Neue deutsche Welle" before, but in hindsight I realize that it...

There comes a bit of a hickup here.... Essentially, MFDs are not part of the API. It's going to be difficult to get data out of them. Now, for sure, all the data the MFDs get from orbiter, you can get as well. But you can't get at the data an MFD itself calculates unless you have the source code...

Finally got around to making a decent background image for the station with which everything started (i.e. of which I made the first primitive proof of concept to see if I could actuallly get anything halfways visually appealing done): Argosy colony, the stanford torus in high earth orbit. Well...

Ohhhh... OrbI18? :D

I honestly would be surprised if they did. The realization that "clear error messages save our customers money and should therefore be a priority feature" is significantly younger than gcc...

When your Son comes excitedly and yells "Dad, Dad, look at this awesome game I found!" and you take a look and go "uhm, yeah, I know that one. I, uh, made that model there... some 20 years ago, I think?"

Mabye it vented because it got hit by something! :p

Huh... That really does sound like it got hit by something. Something small though, not quite roadster sized...

Programmer: "Huh, I flipped the order of the position and velocity calculation, now the orbital simulation is much more stable!" Mathematician: "Hold my beer..."

Ah, finally! I'm sure that will make everything much clearer! :ROFLMAO:
