Well, absent small things that add up over time like photon pressure, residual drag, and tidal forces, reaction wheels would only saturate if they are expected to apply torque in one direction for too long (such as fighting a thrust imbalance), and thus saturation shouldn't be a problem in most cases. And if automated there be Q&A why reaction wheels eat monoprop. But there be lot of micromanagment so it would be automatised and playability of such a complexity would decrease or be unnoticed when automated. So wheels could drain a insignificant amount of monoprop all the time or have a constant desaturation, or have a button to do that at one move, or turn the vehicle "randomly" without it when they set back or. W can mimic the desaturation just by spending monopropelant if we like. I expect KSP2 to be more polished, but it is not strictly neccessary.Īnyway, apparently persisten rotation = confirmed. Anyway, the motion is expected to be small relative to a telescope's FOV, so the telescope could just have a fixed orientation.Īdditionally, we don't know if the star systems move relative to each other (around some sort of pseudo-galactic core), or if they are fixed relative to each other (as nearby stars are, for practical purposes over human lifespans).Īlso, they could just have you select a star to observe, disregarding telescope orientation, as the KSP1 sentinel telescopes disregard orientation (only factoring in orbital parameters). Nate has confirmed (in a reply to one of my posts no-less) that the star systems will be visible already, and you will need telescopes to detect planets and gather rough data on the planets around them.įurthermore, IRL, more movement is seen from parallex as earth goes around the sun, then from drift due to motion around the galactic center, IIRC. That's what my train of thought is anyway. It would make sense you would have to find the stars that are moving compared to the static positions of the ones in the skybox. Since the beginning, Nate has alluded that the new solar systems will be hidden and you have to discover them. Seriously, you would need to focus more time on one region of space to figure out which stars are not apart of the skybox. To study a certain region of space of course.
