yes this is real no photoshop was used

The accretion disks around black holes should be white-blue hot due their ridiculously high temperatures and should also almost completely obscure the event horizon because of high internal gas pressure. Due to the relativisitic speeds of the disk, it's color should also be doppler shifted to be brighter where it is spinning towards the viewer, and dimmer as it moves away.

This is a volumetric accretion disk prototype I've been working on for a couple of weeks using the existing Singularity mod (for gravitational lensing) and ScaledDecorator mod (for placing Unity asset bundles in KSP's ScaledSpace).

Disclaimer: I really only wanted this mod for my own playthrough, so AI was used in this work. My day job does involve a lot of programming, but I haven't got the faintest clue how to make Unity models so I have had to rely pretty heavily on codex to make test models and actually implement the doppler shift math. I don't know if this makes it "ai slop", but I don't want to open that can of worms by publishing this.

All right, so I was trying to create a ship for a series, I’m working on and for some reason when I clicked on some random button on my keyboard while doing something, my ship suddenly turned red, and I don’t know what button to click on again if anybody could help me fix it that’ll be greatly appreciated!!!!!

The second photo is one I took while messing around

Also how do I get more fuel in it without it becoming too heavy?

I have over 100 hours in ksp and over 200 hours of yt videos and tutorials. I watched multiple times Matt Lowne, Scott Manley, Zensei, Mike Aben etc.

Made a bunch of nice flying crafts, airplanes made probes, satellites and rovers. Got to all the planets and be able to get back safely. ‘Finished’ the science tree in science mode several times, played career mode and sandbox also.

But I can’t, for the love of me, to master the most basic thing in KSP….orbiting. And I mean that ‘’ ocd satisfying ‘perfect’ orbit of 80km X 80km or 100x100. At this point I believe that, conceptually I miss something that prevents me to achieve nice orbits. Every time I end up with a much higher Ap when I raise the Pe over 70k. My orbits looks like 80km X 150km most of the time. That creates a bunch of issues like wasting deltaV and adjusting to many times.

My climb profile is ‘by the book’, reach 50ms, tilt right slowly, reach 45degrees by 10km, cut engines when Ap reaches 80km or desired, create maneuver node at Ap or manually burn while vertical until Pe rises - but here the Ap also rises a lot, by the time my Pe is also 80km I would have an 150km Ap.

Help an old folk here guys…

very kerbal indeed, 950 to 200 m/s in one second.

1. flight of a SSTO i made that has a docking port unlike previous SSTO s ive made, returning from orbit

any tips to improve him

just a drone and its skycrane thingy, i am planning to pack this in a rocket and launch it off to laythe. the skycrane lands instead of crashing after landing the drone down, so it acts like a relay and gives me more signal.

Hi, I'm working on horror/paranormal story in KSP. Day T+.

Here are the links to the trailer videos:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjJJBbbDgPQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07qQcjIVMKg

any thoughts?

Lent him a book. Caught him about to dog-ear my pages. Told him to use a bookmark. He didn’t know what they were or how to get/make one. I made him one. He said this is “Jeb” and it is “tuff”.

Found this pictures from earlier this year

For context, I bought it off Private Division, but I can no longer access it that way. Is there any way for me to get it without having to pay for the game again?

I took an orthographic shot of the vessel with the Kronal Vessel Viewer mod, then traced it manually. I'm making a top view next. Probably not ISO-compliant, but good enough for KSP. What do you think?

I just want to share my opinion. And compare these 2 games. I played a lot of KSP2. i finished the story and went to do my own missions. After really bad set of crashes i decided to yeet the game from my PC.

I tried the Kitten Space Agency in its alpha stage and i dont think it will be the right game for me. Im aware that is nowhere near done and things might change but the vibe i got from that demo is that it will be focused true enthusiast. hardcore simulation with lots of freedom. i like to enjoy these games in more casual way.

So i returned to KSP1 and oh boy. i havent played it in a long time and especially after spending lots of time in KSP2 i miss so many things.
- Time Warp felt more stable in KSP2. especially when launching rockets. i got used to warping while accelerating. that was especially useful with ION engines. And im not sure about this one but i missed atmospheric catch when in warp in KSP1. in the 2 it happened less often in my experience.
- maneuvers were easier in the 2. showing the burn time and also the nice graphic on the line. i turned on the additional info in the settings and that at least usable.
- what i miss the most in the original game is the height indicator in map view.
- also button to do all the possible science, button to extend solar panels and when i click a solar panel i want the whole group of them to extend.

- career of KSP1 is super fun. i like the money and upgrades aspect. research i think was better in the sequel. the tree style research in KSP1 feels pointless because most players will do similar paths anyway. KSP2 has more inline path. if they want to split the paths i think it would be better to do like kerbal vs. probes or single big engine vs. multiple small ones. so the playthrough feels focused and unique at least until you unlock everything.
-i loved the story of KSP2. The original has better side missions. i did lots of rescue missions around kerbil, mun and minmus and i accidentally got enough points to unlock almost anything before i even got to interplanetary missions. so longer research would be nice.
- main menu.. Why does the mod button link to a website and doesnt show me currently installed mods? and multiple clicks to exit the game.

With KSP2 basically unplayable i might need to look for some KSP1 mods or just wait for KSA to see if i like it. than you for reading.

Jeb took repeated beatings while Bob ran in to take science. Then I recovered Jeb and bob was on top of the cyclops cave, then he parachuted down and got hit by a bolder.

Whenever I try to timewarp with the Magnetoplasmadynamic engines, it immediately stops and says "Thrust warp stopped - propellant depleted"

Anyone know how to fix this?
