Some future update mod ideas/wishlist
- Thread starter The Astronomer
- Start date
Yeah, RSS/RO is also a game, but they still used the bigger VAB mod. Bigger VAB's don't speed things up in real life, it's because the rocket needs shelter against the elements during assembly, the Russian did the same thing, the Americans did the same thing, and they're still doing so now even without rush.
You wanna start shit, go the the debate forum, this is an idea forum. You can go on and on about your beautiful STS plagued with safety issues still not fixed until retirement that puts 7 people at the risk of incineration from launch to reentry, and I can on and on about the Proton's now 90% technical reliability and the inclusion of a crew escape system need a crew launch be necessary, I also don't need to compare the STS with a Russian vehicle, I can simply pick any American Heavy L/V that will be far safer, cheaper and reliable.

I'm not talking about pad assembly, of course pad assembly is easy, when I said that I want to keep the game challenging I was talking about the challenges that require no launchpad assembly. Most of the challenges will be boring If you can keep building and building and adding Stage after Stage after stage....
The larger build area doesn't force you to use the whole area, the challenge may adapt to the situation and instead ask you to build within a designated perimeter. Just because you are at a buffet, doesn't mean you should eat everything.
Adding to the fact that any player who builds outside the competition area will be immediately disqualified.

Nah, no rocket is closer to home to me, I referred to the Proton since it was the cheapest. I didn't build them anyway. By talking about the Proton, you are automatically referring us back to the STS argument a while back. Anyways, to me the whole STS debate is dead, I have already pretty much listed all my points.
And sorry, by saying crappy I was being blunt.

Now just to give you a quick update, I am first looking into the SLS. To accurately figure out the acceleration of the rocket with air drag factored in simultaneously, I simulated the SLS launch in KSP RSS/RO with a 10 ton payload . The rocket's SRBs will separate at around 40km in the atmosphere, which is around the upper stratosphere where air pressure becomes nearly negligible. The fuel in the core stage is also burnt to around 75% of the total fuel at booster separation.
I calculated the final graph coordinate value from there and it turns out that the delta velocity rises to 9682 m/s! I am a little skeptical....

P.S. Between me and my friends, the SLS is nicknamed the ROD/TSV (Richman's Orange Dildo, which is often also known as Trump's Sat-V), it's big, expensive as hell and boring to launch, since the whole 7 minutes was about watching the giant orange bastard break the karman line with all 4 asses on fire. I might as well stare at the wall.
P.S.S. at least kOS made it automatic
