KSP: REALISTIC Shuttles are a thing now!

I hope you enjoy today's mission! Been excited for this update ever since I heard they would be adding 2.5m SRBs!

I see what you did there

[GuyIncgnit]

Complains about extra RCS thrusters being unrealistic.

Docks Shuttle with nose.

[Rik.B]

Me: spends months trying to learn docking with 1500 mono propellant, and run out 3 meters from the ship. Matt: who need mono propellant, docks space shuttle with engines alone!

“It’s too bad it’s so close to the release of the new game.” How young and naive we all were.

Something I do for my shuttles:
When I install the tailfin, I do it with mirrored symmetry so that (technically) two of them are there. Then I add the toggle deploy function (on the tailfin)
to the brake tab in the action group editor. This makes it so that when you activate the brake, the rudder appears to "split" like on the real shuttle, and it has the same airbrake affect.

14:00 is the section I like to call “Matt regrets not using RCS”

[lukawarren]

Last time I was this early Matt was still building a space station with these

Update 2.8: Moar Moar Moar Moar Moar boosters.

9:26 You realize you could save a lot of money and a lot of weight by NOT painting your house, yes?

[Cantfindaname]

Matt: *makes a little KSP mistake*
Also Matt: *smashes F9 a quadrillion times*

[MetaJokeTT]

... you should plan a mission that requires refueling at Ferris Station

[jeffvader]

The Shuttle OMS was actually bi-propellant, it used hydrazine and dinitrogen tetroxide.

[JohnDoe-vzff]

"Realistic shuttles" - proceeds to use magical reaction wheels to rotate the shuttle fast enough to provide a degree of artificial gravity for the crew. I love KSP.

“I hope you enjoyed this ENDEAVOR with me”

That level of genjutsu doesn’t work on me

"Getting high off its own supply"


Drug dealers: 😏

[mad_shimmy]

Ksp: got moar boosters

Ksp Ps4 and Xbox:
Hasnt even got breaking ground

Yes i punned

[farisimo]

i love how you actually launched the shuttle correctly. They always launched upside down, the movies always get it wrong 😫

[kiwivogel]

Space shuttle OMS did actually use bipropellant. MMH/N2O4 to be precise (AJ10-190 + a bunch of RCS thrusters fed of the same fuels per pod). The whole thing was just fueled and bolted on to the tail to avoid having to handle the fuels IIRC.

Somebody: 4fps? I'm only getting 3

Another person 3? I'm only getting 2

Me: you guys are getting frames per *second* ?
