rendezvous with a planet
make your trajectory as close to the planet as possible (but not in the atmosphere)
make sure your escape trajectory is pointed towards prograde relative to the planet's orbit around the sun (unless you want to go further into the sun)
keep doing this until you either run out of fuel or get to your destination
if you're asking to set up the planned trajectory towards a distant planet, place a maneuver node on pieces of the trajectory where you enter the planet. that way you can use the planet's gravity assist to basically get a free boost of speed, with the help of a thruster of course
make sure the craft you’re broadcasting to is also compatible with the information you’re transporting, in other words, make sure both crafts have a receive broadcast event and a broadcast event so they know what you’re doing
make the rotators bigger and the part scale smaller so they balance out
or put the entire idea in a time capsule and lock it there until someone helps you
i haven't tried an adaptive program, but you can add a wait (0) seconds block and set the wait to the time to the periapsis divided by the mass of the craft, minus the thrust of the engine(s) in the stage, but i have no idea so you'll have to experiment with it by yourself
at this point, you don't really need an equation for this, you just need wait blocks
on start wait until (orbit Apoapsis > planet (name of Planet) Atmosphere height) lock heading on Prograde set throttle to 1 wait until (orbit Periapsis > planet (name of Planet) Atmosphere height) set throttle to 0
but if you want more complex mechanics, then you will need equations and wait blocks
there is a simple block that allows you to switch to a craft by use of it’s name, but the name of the craft will change when it docks or undocks with some other craft on start wait until (activation group ( <insert the activation group of detacher> ) switch to craft (craft ID of (name of Craft])
under the tinker panel, there’s a blue button that says “Edit Hidden Properties”
once you’ve opened the panel, you can slide over to the engine configuration and look for fuelConsumption
should be about a million kilometers from the planet
and it probably should be a bit smaller than earth size, otherwise a larger barrycenter will appear
i've tested jupiter's gravity vs earth's gravity in a simulation and learned that jupiter is slightly gravitationally bound to earth
however, you are possibly able to set the mass of the droneship to a reasonable amount above zero, but i'm not sure if it will remain floating above the water
i tend to use all the fuel i have ._.

give it a few more days, and if it still gets no attention, then delete them

2.8 years agodefinitely
@TronicOrbital
2.8 years agosilly joke
@TronicOrbital
2.8 years agoor you can press alt+f4 >:D
in the tinker panel, there is a blue button that says "Edit Hidden Properties"
in the parachute configuration, turn up the deployment density AND inflation density
2.8 years agois that a failure or a victory?
2.8 years agomake sure the craft you’re broadcasting to is also compatible with the information you’re transporting, in other words, make sure both crafts have a receive broadcast event and a broadcast event so they know what you’re doing
if not then i’ll need more context
2.8 years agounder the tinker panel, set the collision response and collisions to none and never

2.8 years agothe candle will be recycled, then the process will start anew
2.8 years agoput the entire idea in a drawer and lock it there
2.8 years agodid you analyze the landing gear from the simpleairways and try to make your own?

2.8 years agoit's hard to build plane-like structures ._.
this requires you to turn on the re-entry vapor trails, it will likely crash if you're on mobile
2.8 years agoxml or vizzy that i have not experimented with, maybe try editing the hidden properties of the primary command pod?
2.8 years agoi thought that part didn't matter
2.8 years agothis may suit your needs
2.8 years agoit's on engine config

fuelConsumptionyou can also access xml by using an app called Koder
2.8 years agoremember to re-open simplerockets 2 for the changes to work
t is the motion value used in bezier curves
2.8 years ago@TronicOrbital @plane918273645
2.8 years agoand then put it into
display ()in simplerockets 2, you need another source of fuel to feed a main fuel tank, such as a space station
2.8 years agoit's usually part count, scroll down just above the comments
2.8 years agoyou will have to calculate the requirements yourself based off the part count
that too ._.

2.8 years agothat's how the mechanics in this system works

@Zenithspeed
2.8 years agofascinating
however, you are possibly able to set the mass of the droneship to a reasonable amount above zero, but i'm not sure if it will remain floating above the water
2.8 years agothe droneship is static, meaning that it cannot move or be moved
2.8 years agoby then, you will have 30 more points from this post
2.8 years agoeveryone likes diversity
2.8 years agoand it could be turned on and off in planet studio and/or settings
+1 2.8 years ago@TronicOrbital
2.8 years agoexaggerations are fun ;)
fun fact:
there was vizzy and XML in simplerockets 11 centuries before you asked the question
+3 2.8 years agogeostationary orbit with the sun is 0 m/s btw
+3 2.8 years agoif the wait block is 0 seconds, then it will make the program wait until the next frame, saving resources
