Not mentioned in a very good way though

[@artemis-arrow-3579]

congrats m8 :)

[@DeepProbe]

The docking process looks painful even in this edited state. "Vertical Velocity Controller" mod and SAS in "normal to orbit" mode could be a huge relief in such efforts. I've done some skycrane missions and truly admire your persistance, especially understanding that largest of my crafts for such flights was less than 7 tonns, and your station is around 50 (with engines and fuel), plus that huge mast at the top...

[@HeidenLam]

You don’t need a mod for vertical control, just “control from” a controllable part that is pointing upwards and go RCS. Also, pointing normal in SAS surface mode (or target mode) is a lot more logical than that in SAS orbit mode.

[@DeepProbe]

​@@HeidenLam Any "skycrane" / "precise hover" operation require control point pointing upwards (or downwards), so, this step you recomended made "dy default". Mentioned mod precisely controlling craft's main thrust for compensating gravity for hovering at specified height (or for vertical speed control / engine shutoff during final seconds of desending). As for "also" - thanks for forcing me to open game client and check for what is really written at markers. Ofc, correct one is "radial out", not "normal". But "radial out for orbit" have marker at navball (so you can see where you are going to allign craft to) while "radial out for surface" is markerless (yes, it pointing directly to zenith which far more convinient and neat, but with some control point setings you may find craft suddenly flipped upside-down at near zero height - and this event would be inconvinient at all) Nevertheless, thank you again for pointing my attention to to erroneous term I used.

[@Immortalcheese]

The big question is: if you reload the base from the tracking station, is it stable, or does the kraken load in with it?

[@MattLowne]

So far it's stable! I revisited the save later on to grab a shot for the thumbnail, and not a wobble in sight!

[@derangedoven7928]

that’s good

ik its 3 years late but I've done this base a couple times now and over time you will eventually see a deg on the truss structure. it wont wobble put it essentially pulls apart. I think pyshics holder can overcome this though.

[@jeremyglass4283]

Wait, don’t magnetometer booms not work on the surface of a celestial body? So what if they break, they’re useless anyways! (Although admittedly, a station dangling from a Mun Arch doesn’t seem like something designed to be useful either)

yeah, I wasn't sure if they'd work, considering the base is suspended above the ground

[@sudantarescosmonautics9422]

@@MattLowne physically your base "hangs" between the ground and the space, but since the arch is part of the ground and you attached your base to it, the game recognises it as "landed". You can check it out from the tracking station.

@@tammypeters3520 *Cocks pistol* Always has been

[@tomasebenlendr6440]

For hovering operation I would recommend "Surface" instead of "Target" mode for SAS, with "vertical out" mode. Then you can control your lateral velocity more smoothly (either by RCS or by short key presses of ASDW tilting your rocket slightly, "vertical out" mode then cancels perfectly the tilt, so that only small amount of lateral velocity is added (or subtracted)). It is not a big deal on the Mun, but it helps a lot when dealing with stronger gravity.

The way I was going to do a Mun arch base was by building a wide platform target that I would grab with a klaw instead of using docking ports. I was thinking it would be fun to free the pivot as well and let it swing around :P

[@orson-Kerr]

i am READY TO SEE THIS EPICNESS

[@Zepha21]

Ok here is what I would have aimed for straight away when trying to dock the station to the anchor module: get the station completely upright and turn up the thrusters just enough to achieve hover. and that's how the thrust stays. then i'd have used an all-directional RCS system to adjust position, yes also vertically. because the thrusters just hold me in palce, if i RCS up, i move just a little bit up and lose that momentum. that way i can be super gentle at such a difficult stunt. but you did it and i didn't, so good job, matt :)

Sake is just a general term for alcohol in Japan. The drink you're referring to that we westerners think of as sake, distilled rice wine, is called Nihonshu and should be served in a glass stood in a small, square wooden cup called a Masu. The square wooden cup is to catch the overflow as the sake should be served to the point of overflowing the glass slightly. (A way to show your customer that you're not "underserving" your alcohol.) Its is also perfectly acceptable and within etiquette to drink the overflow of sake straight from the wooden cup. It could be frowned upon in higher-end 5-star type places but certainly at your local Izakaya where people are there to have a drink with friends and let their hair down. First you sip from the glass to lower the level from the brim so you don't spill it, then you drink the overflow from the Masu and then you drink the from the glass.

Cold Sake/warm sake depends on the season and the meal. During the summer, you're far more likely to be served cold sake, and during the winter, you're more likely to be served hot sake. And yes, it's pronounced sa-ke with the ke being pronounced like "Meh..." Certain dishes are also traditionally served with hot or cold sake, but they are also traditionally seasonal dishes, so I'm not entirely certain which came first...
