Slashes before such things as commas denote them so they aren't factored in code where strings begin within commas, meaning ones as part of the string would break the format.

i don't understand the reasoning behind replying to someones clarification of a subject without; posing further questions, correcting mistakes, or expanding the topic of discussion, replying only with the word "yup" and no other valuable content, if not for self verification. permitting that I politely ask you to rooster off. thanks.

can anyone get me a link to mechjeb?



"I'm Scott Manly, fly safe."

Mha. Mwahahahaha.
MWHAHAahahahahahaaaaaaaaaahha hahhahaahaha.
oooooooooOoooh I wish I still had my rocket that protects my kerbals from long drops.

I was saying that this was the reason.


I'm going to eat some bumpables.







Oh and here is the other part of that last link I posted

You should check his videos out too.

._. I want to use spin to send something flying.

Can you guys make something rotate so fast it will throw your capsule into space?

On a reasonably sized device this would impart about 110000 g's of force on the craft. Good luck.

._. yea.
It didn't work.
The engines were ripped off from the speed.
Though I haven't tried it in space.... maybe the lack of atmosphere would help me out ;)

It really wouldn't lol. That's 110000 g's if you were to reach orbital velocity on a kerbin sized planet with no atmosphere. The atmosphere probably bumps that number up an order of magnitude but I'm too lazy to calculate it. It's just not possible to do in KSP - or real life for that matter.

You could try it in deep space I guess. By that I mean anywhere after 5 gigameters where Kerbol no longer has gravitational influence, or doesn't appear to anyway. I think the maximum G force anything can possibly take in KSP is ~25, because that's the limit on the interface thingy.

The only thing for certain is that full acceleration with anything over 1000 thrust rips the ship apart, and my Super-Engine with 6000 thrust can go no more than 1/10 throttle before the engine explodes or falls off or something.

However, flying directly into the sun makes you fly off at higher than lightspeed in an apparently random direction, so you would utterly destroy any ship you tried this with but the effect would be the same.

In short, device = sun.
