Shouldn't that be a cube, going from X/Y/Z dimensions?A sphere is the most economical shape for a spacecraft since a sphere can hold the greatest amount of air (or almost anything else) of any shape with the same X/Y/Z dimensions.
Nah, the Anaconda doesn't turn fast enough for that. The rotation of the landing pad, though...
Are you sure? A quick look at Coriolis told me an Anaconda can pitch >125°/s and that observatory is about 100m in front of the rotational axis. A radius of 100m with 20 RPM is 44.72G if I'm correct?
That was tonghue-in-cheek. But which coriolis do you get your numbers from? If I set up a minimum conda with 7A G5DD, I get a pitch of 56°/s (boost, 4 pips). Yaw is less, and roll doesn't care.Are you sure? A quick look at Coriolis told me an Anaconda can pitch >125°/s and that observatory is about 100m in front of the rotational axis.

And that's with constant speed, the insane acceleration at the start is even worse I assume.

Oops, thanks for pointing that out. That was indeed roll instead of pitch. With the correct pitch value of about 50°/s I get about 9G which I guess won't even make you faint in your high tech Remlok suit as long as you're strapped in. Assuming my calculations are correct.Any value >100°/s (and possibly even >80°/s) for any ship pretty certainly refers to Roll, not Pitch. An Anaconda barely reaches 30° Pitch even with G5 DD according to Coriolis.

Is this using mods? Both the planet and space looks way better than I expected from KSP. Of course the Borg cube also looks amazing!After all these years, still the 12th most popular screenshot ever on the Steam KSP gallery.
