    Personally,
    I like using decouples themselves as the 'structure' for the separatrons.
    Basically a ton of decouplers attached to each other, with these little SRBs on each one, each decoupler its own stage.
    Also the decouplers themselves give you a slight boost to dv from the separation.

  • @Chevsilverado
    @Chevsilverado Рік тому

    If you wait a little bit before staging the next set of boosters in the atmosphere the rocket will be higher and have less drag which puts your fuel to better use, since drag increases exponentially with speed you want to be pretty slow in the thick air.
    You have enough thrust with the solid fuel motors to do most of your acceleration in space to circularize your orbit, so no need to rush to gain speed when it’s less efficient in atmosphere.

    my thought would be to have the bottom stages bigger than the top. the first stage has to push the weight of the entire thing, while the last one only has to move the capsule. that would also help with hypersonic disassembly of the top.

  • @EpicMiniMeatwad
    @EpicMiniMeatwad Рік тому

    18:00 What happened is likely a failure to inherit during initialization (or object creation). Your kerbal did not inherit the velocity from the vessel since it spawned after the vessel got destroyed, meaning it tried to look for a velocity that no longer existed. It probably also defaulted to putting you at 0 velocity relative to the planet.
    This is possible because you are going so fast that the tick rate of the game causes you to essentially just teleport into the planet from the view point of someone watching the game per tick. Because the game was already in the process of deleting the craft on the same tick as you spawning your kerbal, when the kerbal went to check for the craft's velocity, it couldn't find the craft or its velocity.
    A way to fix this would probably be soft deleting the vessel with a few ticks of immunity from being deleted, saving its variables like velocity before it's hard deleted. A vessel should not get deleted unless it goes out of range or smashes into something and has to be deleted from the perspective of the physics world/environment.
    So you mark the object as being soft deleted until it is time to be hard deleted, and even from that information you could just not let a kerbal spawn from a soft deleted vessel.
    So why is this still in the game? Because shitcode, don't worry about it, we are getting a KSP 2 with less technical debt. There are many ways this could have gone wrong that are fundamentally broken so it's understandable that it hasn't been fixed. It's also fun lol.
