I mean it's a grand feat of gameplay but this makes it stupid imho. A 61 year long space mission all by himself. That's the reason Bill is fcked up in head. Is there a player/streamer who plays it more real life-y that you guys can recommend?

So, if the ejection was 1500m/s and each burn was 6 m/s, that’s 250 mini burns. And if each burn was 2 minutes, or on 5x better time warp, 12 seconds, you spent 3000 seconds or 50 minutes (probably more setting up maneuvering stuff), so why don’t we all thank the KZfaqr who wasted an hour of his life to burn from Eve. Now I know why Matt hates ion engines... Edit: considering lag, maybe about 5-6hrs in total, damn.

Each burn time perhaps, but then, even assuming no lag on the computer, you have to timewarp 250 times to get to the periapsis again. And then correction burns, and travel times, and KSP crashing, and... wow!
@Keldor314 5 жыл бұрын
This seems like a good use case for kOS, actually. Write a program to perform the ejection burns and then go have lunch. Can kOS control time warp? (if not, this would be a good feature request) In real life, orbital maneuvers with ion engines use a single months-long burn and spiral outward or inward rather than using the Oberth effect. Would you have had enough delta-V to do this?

Im just realizing how impressive this is. I tried a mission to eve in my world, and every stage of the mission failed. falling through the atmosphere my ship flipped so it burned up without heat shields. Then when i cheated to land I realized the engine i used had to lowTWR since the specific impulse of my engines was way lower than on kerbin. i cheated gravity to take of, but since i had to deploy my fairing over my ship since I couldn't select my docking port to click "control from here" on it, the ship flipped due to aerodynamic forces. Anyways, Im just realizing that bradley is a god.

Whaaaaaaat this is actually possible? Congrats on doing this! I have to ask though do you use any tools to plan your planetary slingshot? And also why the circular solar panel arrangement instead of a more linear one?
@BradleyWhistance 5 жыл бұрын
This isn't truly a slingshot. Since all I need to do is re-rendezvous with the same planet I left, it is a simple matter of ejecting into an orbit such that the ratio between my orbital period and Eve's orbital period is a rational number with reasonably small integers for nominator/denominator. The circular solar panel arrangement was the easiest way to pack 30 solar panels into a cargo bay without clipping. I plan to make an improved version of this, using the excess mass demonstrated here as payload, and tweaks such as better solar.
