derp

[andrea]

when it comes to station/outpost contracts, is it allowed to launch them in several parts and the dock them to fulfill the contract? I have an outpost contract requiring 10 kerbals, lab and 4000 units of fuel ( more than 2 standard size rockomax tanks), which is going to be a pain to launch and land, if I am not allowed to dock.

[Skyrunner]

I think so.

Thank you muchly Mr. LoSboccacc, that fixed my derpness to the maximus.

Also, in relation to my "WarpTorp" idea, I just now found out antimatter literally never enters into the equation. All you need for warp drive is a LOT of electricity (megajoules in this case)

So I made my first draft of the WarpTorp and...it is roughly the size of the universe. This is not necessarily conducive to the "being a torpedo" thing.
Gonna have to do more !SCIENCE! to figure out what stuff the actual torpedo can do without. I.E. can I just launch a charged Alcubierre Drive with a probe core and expect it to still have warp functionality?

This will require actually creating a Macey Dean-esque battleship thing as a launch platform. And putting said thing into space, which will be much harder.

I dunno. For torpedoes, I'd say bigger is better.

Yeah, but torpedoes are generally smaller than the thing they're trying to hit.

I finally figured out how to module manager. I've been missing @'s and {}'s all over the place. I'm not modding fuel tanks to be more explodey. *grin*

Also supposed to be smaller then the thing that is launching them.

So, I started modding, and everything is working fine.  Except for Chatterer.  It isn't breaking anything, or working weirdly.  It just isn't working.  I'm not getting any sounds, and the button on the top isn't there.  Anyone else had this problem, or have any suggestions?

[nogoodnames]

I just got hit by a weird bug. While coming in for a landing with my SSTO, part of it registered as colliding with one of the space centre buildings while being nowhere near it. This happened twice, destroying both the building and part of the plane. The first time I was just above the ground and it caused an entire wing to explode. The pilot survived but the 4 tourists in the passenger compartment died, so I loaded a quicksave. The second time I made it down onto the runway before it happened. Fortunately the buildings were only the small decorative kind, so it wasn't much of a loss. I just hope it doesn't keep happening.

[Shadowlord]

You can set the buildings to be indestructible, although that won't stop you from hitting them. Or hitting an invisible wall that isn't supposed to be there.

[puke]

I've not hit invisible walls, but sometimes small features take out my cars.  things like light posts and other random decorative bumps. 

Once I ran into a lamp pole and destroyed the entire Mission Control building.  I hadn't seen it at the time, and assumed it was a terrain clipping bug or something, but after rebuilding the facility I realized what I had actually hit.

I thought stage recovery was working in stock now?  I attached probe cores and parachutes to boosters, and if I stay near the ground they will land and be okay... but the physics range is still not sufficient to track even one stage of SRB's to the ground before despawning them, if you are continuing to accelerate away.

Does anyone know of a stock workaround for this?  I don't really want to add the stage recovery mod if I can avoid it.

[forsaken1111]

Nope, by stock anything dropped off is simply deleted.

[Chiefwaffles]

Stage Recovery is pretty OP (by my opinion) anyways. If done right, you really only have to worry about fuel costs.

How's that?

You have to spend more to include parachutes, and their weight causes you to need even more thrust/fuel
You almost never get 100% of your cash back
There is a flat chance that recovered parts are still destroyed
