egg changed the topic of #principia to: Logs: https://esper.irclog.whitequark.org/principia | <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell out | https://xkcd.com/323/ | <egg> calculating the influence of lamont on Pluto is a bit silly…

<November (she/they)> Wow, okay, I had been doing so many interplanetary transfers so wrong. Thank you very much for the advice. I'd figured there was a reason I was always spending an extra km/s or two over what TWP predicted, but I hadn't found it until now

<ezsnack> @egg maybe the manoeuvreing reference frame should always default to inertial of the current SOI instead of matching the selected reference frame?

<GoForPDI (less drag=more faster)> Well sometimes say moon earth orbit is useful for maneuvering, like for langrange point shenanigans

<ezsnack> it sure is, im not saying to remove the feature, just to make the default setting be the current soi

<ezsnack> You re not the first to make this mistake hence my prompt to maybe change something xd

<November (she/they)> I'm also glad I have been trying to figure out Principia in a low-importance save

Things I *think* Principia can't do, but mostly because of using up too much memory instead of lacking any features: https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.04987
