Like you said, flight 11 has the last V2 and since V3 is not compatible with the existing pad A (only the new pad B that is being finished atm), it would be a nice opportunity to try the ship catch because cratering the old pad A and/or its tower wouldn't be that much of a deal. The entire Pad A has to be replaced anyways.
- dmix 1y agoWhat did they change about the pad between 2 and 3?
- sho_hn 1y agoNot sure about the pad, but the V3 ship has the catch points on the fins for example.
- Culonavirus 1y agoThe new pad (pad B and all pads going forward) is completely different than pad A. There's now a flame trench instead of just a steel plate, the square shaped pad structure has water cooled top, etc. but specifically "backwards incompatible" changes would I guess be the pad having two booster QDs instead of one, the tower being a bit higher, the chopsticks a lot shorter, ship QD is also higher (i think)?
