Yeah, Acarii Drive has been around forever. It was fun seeing the people making balls of docking ports that could make it to space unpropelled.

We're using Nitrogen as a Simulated Prop until the actual test where we'll fire.

8bitCosmonaut If you're still around, I know and can answer a lot more now if you're interested.

An update: We still haven't Hot-fired the Rocket. Our main hold-ups are ignition and finding a suitable test location, but also it's a student project, so things take time. I'm the Vehicle Lead now, and most of my work is redesigning the P&ID so it can be used with a rocket that can actually...

Soo... What's the policy on necroposting on my own thread??? :eek:

Yeah, Gecko or TtTOtW will probably know.

Well, it's fixed now... that was so weird. Any chance my head professor color could be given priority btw?

Let's finish this up! Coming home from Mars (this is the same mission as my Team Frontier Entry), and decelerated into an Elliptical Earth Orbit with an Intercept of the Moon. Same as before, Lander detached and Deorbited. Launched and Docking again. And flyin away. Lander's full...

No reason to stick around, I've got places to go. Back in orbut, the orbiter (which is still attached to the second stage might I add) reaches the lander and docks. Made the burn out and then finally left the second stage behind. "But Lieutenant," you might ask, "why did you plan on still...

Anyways, I've had that final mission done for a while now. Launched an interplanetary lander on that 2000t monstrosity of a box rocket I used for the Hawk entry. Destination: Mars Flew right past one of the moons (I think it was Deimos) on the way in. Orbited, and now landing ship...

Cool, sounds good!

Still Waiting on this Marmilo

I think you mean moonmoons

No, 0,0 is always the center of the center planet. For the main solar system that planet is the sun. (Since stars are treated as planets in pretty much all respects).

If that was seconds, it means about 57 years of in-game time, which pretty much checks out.

It probably does, but the time values aren't ticks. You can tell that because it uses decimals. Here's the time value for my 1.4 world: "worldTime": 1850738010.3588409, Based on how long I played this world, this most likely is seconds, even accounting for time warps.

The only thing that changing the world time would affect is the planets though. World time doesn't factor into the rockets themselves. Theoretically, you could set the world time to get a certain alignment of the planets, but imo there's no practical way to do that (other than aligning all...

I don't quite understand how time works in this game, so no, I haven't.

The 1.52 update has actually done something to really help one specific part of Qks editing: Not only is the Rocket Name helpful in-game, but the name value is stored the first line of the rocket's fragment (I refer to portions of the code which can be moved between quicksaves as fragments...

Yes, that is entirely possible, and it's the reason I learned qks editing in the first place. More on that soon though, but I have exams this week, so this is far from my priority.

Sorry, you're right, I never specified. Back in 1.4, the game used to use a single .qks file for each quicksave, and your persistent save too. Now though, the organization of quicksaves is more complex. Each save in 1.5 is actually a system of 4 files, "Version", "WorldState", "Branches", and...

One thing I've been looking into lately: Teleportation. The qks records each independent ship's Position as an X-Y pair (same for the ship's velocity) which gives the information of the ship at the time of the save. Then, when you load the save, the game calculates the orbital data of every ship...

It's about time that I properly earn my title as the expert on Quicksave editing. In this thread (which is kind of a continuation of the previous thread of this title), I will be documenting the structure of the World Save Folders and the general formats of the files that can be found in each...

I honestly just didn't follow this mission, but it's definitely worthy of mention.

There's one change to the game during the 1.5 update that removed so much from the game imo. We had so many more options in 1.4 when we were able to use parts that were inside of fairings. The hitbox changes to ions and batteries were disappointing, but acceptable, but losing the use of fairings...
