<queqiao--> <K​al​py​y> Constant that shows up when dealing with electrical and magnetic fields, from what I know from high-school electrostatics

<queqiao--> <O​sw​al​d> Okay yeah cannot add manuevor I planned to manuvear node
<queqiao--> <C​la​ye​l> can you show a new screenshot with the updated version?
<queqiao--> <N​az​fi​b> Are you looking for the "Show on navball" checkbox? It appears when you've unlocked maneuver nodes; in RP-1 this is locked behind mission control and tracking station upgrades (I believe one level of each, but it may be two).

<queqiao--> <O​sw​al​d> yes omg thank you, thats so dumb on me, im UPGRADING my tracking station rn
<queqiao--> <C​la​ye​l> definitely adding this to FAQ
<queqiao--> <e​gg​> It is in the concepts page already
<queqiao--> <e​gg​> Well, it is right there. What it takes to unlock patched conics is unclear.
<queqiao--> <e​gg​> But since the best we have right now is "one or two levels of some upgrades", that is not exactly clear enough that to add to documentation.
<queqiao--> <s​ic​he​lg​ai​ta​> We should remove "this may change". Everything may change, it's not giving useful information.
<queqiao--> <e​gg​> The names of the colours are definitely out of date.
<queqiao--> <e​gg​> (they are correct elsewhere in the document.)
<queqiao--> <e​gg​> argh, the placehold.it images no longer work
<queqiao--> <e​gg​> ah, moved to placehold.co
<queqiao--> <O​sw​al​d> yall are the goats tysm for answering all the noisy questions
<queqiao--> <e​zs​na​ck​ -​ b​oo​st​er​ t​an​k ​ap​ol​og​is​t> does it cost less to capture at pluto in principia since you feel the gravity field from both pluto and charon so bigger oberth effect? :v
<raptop> Oh, uh, it probably should if you're going into a circumbinary orbit. But also, you might not save much in general given the system's low mass (and distance that would encourage a very non-Hohmann transfer)
