Soooo... they have a heatshield that showed problems, they're compensating for that by trajectory changes, and now they're putting people in it without ever having flown those changes for real? Yeah, that doesn't sound so great...

So the thing is only flying for the second time ever, and they're going to put 4 people in it already? That seems an uncharacteristic risk for Nasa...

I feel this is relevant...

The development tools should certainly be on the add-on side. However, a more capable and extendable interface for bases, similar to what vessels have, would be worth considering as a core feature...

In my experience, computer scientists are not very well known for writing readable code...

Small update this month while I'm working on bigger features in the background.Adds the new graphic (see above) and a codex entry about the Big Bust (though that consists of 3 parts): https://randomactsofconstruction.itch.io/orbital-margins/devlog/979699/patch-notes-0131 And this months state...

One of the three big boys coming next: Welcome to Huanggong, the massively overengineered shipyard from which the Huangshan union intends to conquer the solar system.

"Launcher Agnostic" sounds like something very desirable on paper, but also something that may be frought with a million little unforeseeable details that in the end it make one launcher so much preferable that you'd have been better off designing for it from the get-go...

My wife mixed a Chili with a Ratatouille. I love both, but the idea of just throwing them together never occurred to me. It's delicious!

Doesn't matter so much which side of the spacecraft faces earth. The atmospheric resistance comes from the direction of its velocity vector, not "down", so ultimately it only matters at what angle your heatshield is aligned to that, not what orieantation it has to the earths surface.

I guess they're taking side-jobs from Micheal Bay now... ?

I would associate Carmina Burana more with the Deutsche Bahn... "velut luna, statu variabiliiiiiiiiiis!!" 😂

Nisam ocekivao da vidim Dubuiozu ovdje... 😲 And of course, if the song would be in english, it would have to go straight to the basement! :ROFLMAO:

THERE BE GRAPHICS NOW!! Some, at least. Mostly still placeholders, making these things takes time! We also have 3 shiny new orbital depots for remassing, enabling a lot of profitable options for a spacecraft like the Alex. This is accompanied by this release's codex update, which is an...

I know that, obviously. They've been building it during the 10 years I was there... all the 10 years I was there! :ROFLMAO: I don't know what state it is in now, but yes, it was fairly comfortable to drive on, at least once they managed to convince the local populace that no, you really, really...

Honestly, all of Bosnia is that! 😂

Parts of Tuzla just keep moving downwards, mostly. The last time I've been there (admittedly over 10 years ago), parts of the main road had the topology of a snapshot of an ocean surface (i.e. lots of waves...).

At least they didn't build a city on top of it... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuzla That would make sense, at the time I most likely picked it up from a discworld novel...

It sounded funny at the time, and was mostly inspired by the phrase "... and Bob's your Uncle". Only learned much later that there's quite a famous software engineer going by that name. So far noone has called me pretentious, so I guess I'm good... :whistle:

Not them, in any case. The question has not been directly answered (i.e. I still have no idea why the thing didn't work), but a comment showed me a different way of doing it that omitted the problem altogether, so that works for me...
