The Nuclear Option Acme Fission / Fusion is proud to present the latest in Space Nuclear Fusion... err... Fission Power Systems (sorry, the name is confusing, and some of this marketing material seems to be misprinted). One thing is clear, though. If you need a more compact power system for some really power-hungry parts you've got, or perhaps your solar panels are starved for photons out past Duna, then maybe it's time you considered The Nuclear Option! NOTE: This mod aims to be the KSP2 *spiritual successor* for Nertea's KSP1 Near Future Electrical mod. No code or meshes are reused from that mod, but the intent here is to fill the same basic need, delivering moderately realistic nuclear power options to feed those power-hungry electrical engines. For now, all the reactors (both of them...) have "integral cooling", which really just means the devs have not yet implemented thermodynamics. Once they do, you can expect the reactors in this parts pack to generate some waste heat that you'll need to deal with. Until then, you're free to ignore that particular reality and substitute one of your own.

Isn't it time you opted for the Nuclear Option?

Made with permission from @Daishi, one of the creators of the Universal Storage 2 mod and aimed at compatibility with @Angel-125's Wild Blue Industries suite of mods and adding value to undersea exploration and microsat design. Notable features include: Racks have height variants (1, 2 or 4 rows). The 2.5m and Buffalo 2 racks contain WBI science processors. Integrated probe body wedges which include solar panel, battery, RCS and are cargo bays or inventory parts. Experiment wedges are designed to require time and resources when started and only work when submerged. One or more experiments are concerned with ocean life and won't function on planets that are not whitelisted. As they may require several in-game days, submarine vessels have more reason to wait and hang around. Milli-kit boxes fit the cargo bay wedges or will precisely fill the solar inventory wedges. The boxes' features can be installed into the host part (primarily the solar inventory wedge) via the WIP Rackmount mod. High-volume (relatively, without the nerf of stock balancing) battery wedges can hold generous amounts of ElectricCharge. Known Issues Some wedge experiments are intended to have defined negative (undersea) altitude ranges. This feature does not appear to function. The affected experiments are the Bathymetry series and Goo Evolution series. Indicator Lights integration might not work properly on the Milli-kit experiments. Indicator Lights integration does not work on the experiment wedges. They do not use stock modules.

You guys know the BD Armorys Armor Plates i want to duplicate them and give different texture to them. I using armor plates as structural parts for my star destroyers . I did copy armor plates folder and edit needed things in cfg. Except one thing; texture. Cfg file has not texture file name and directory line. But even so it is always using bd armory texture file directory. I want to change directory and texture file name. How to do this?

Omicron Walkable and usable interiors, hatch doors, docking ports, seats, all for your Kerbals Delight! Join the next era in space flying car playmobil like! Vtol Controls Configuration (On KSP) Please follow this post link to implement Vtol adjustable angle control with the latest version it's updated to analog controls that are not automatic set in KSP. Update 0.6.6.6 to KSP 1.12.3 Hello, Everyone. So, this is my idea, from child, I dream to fly one of these. A flying car. The name is OMICRON! Is a flying space car with a foot on reality and other in near future. The engine is in the same principle of a Saber engine, but Vtol too, and will accept stock rocket engines in the back. all parts are modular and you can build on your own. But i put some example crafts with the download. My attempt is to have the EVA and the IVA all together, i mean, the Kerbals will be visible inside the craft, and all windows/doors will be openable, more likely the stock seat, but inside the craft. The configurations you'll be able to do it, reach VTOL, SSTO. I'm not creating new engines to put on back, only the Vtol SSTO ones that show in the pics, on the side of the craft. I hope all can joy this creation and use it in your voyages. Cheers commanders. List of things i still need to do (for full release): Finalize cockpit panel extra functions; Plate with 6 rockets and included legs; Ejection system for seats and windows; Parachutes; Wings; Rocket command pod with big windows; Download links (0.6.6): https://spacedock.info/mod/2413/Omicron Flying Space Car (primary) https://kerbal.curseforge.com/projects/omicron-space-flying-car (secondary) Installation Notes: Change Logs: Source Code: https://github.com/rvalle7/Omicron Dev Thread: Dev Thread (Portuguese): Omicron by Climberfx is licensed under a Attribution 4.0 International If you like this mod, consider doing a donation (just click the PayPal icon below.

SPARK Technologies is proud to present the latest in electric rocket engines. These Ion engines deliver exceptionally high specific impulse (Isp), with credible (actually measurable) thrust. Just add a wee bit of Xenon (and more EC than you ever thought you'd need) and you'll be off to the races... Sort of... I mean, we'll get you there... Eventually... You weren't in a big hurry, were you? NOTE: This mod aims to be the KSP2 spiritual successor for Nertea's KSP1 Near Future Propulsion mod. No code or meshes are reused from that mod, but the intent here is to fill the same basic need, delivering moderately realistic electric propulsion engines based on real-world designs and theories. The thrust has been "kerbelized", but the Isp, weight, and power consumption are intended to be fairly realistic.

Hall Effect Thrusters and Nested Hall Thrusters These engines employ strong magnetic fields to create a Hall Effect current in a stream of Xenon gas, ionizing the gas and propelling the resulting ions out at great speed. They are characterized by an annual ceramic channel with an anode down inside it and a centrally located cathode, which serves to neutralize the plasma exhaust. SPT-100: If you need a really small (tiny! 0.3125m-class) low thrust/high ISP electric engine, then the SPT-100 is the part to pick. Weighing in at a mere 0.075t, it's one of the smallest engines you can find anywhere, yet it delivers a whopping 0.3 kN of thrust with an incredible 2,200s of Isp. X2: What's better than a Hall Effect Thruster? A Nested Hall Thruster! Why settle for just one chamber when you can have two with a modest increase in size, weight, and power consumption? The SPARK X2 packs terrific thrust and high Isp into an Extra Small (0.625m-class) package without needing as much power as a small town just to operate. X3: Seeing what they can do with two nested thrusters, the engineers at SPARK Technologies decided to one-up themselves and go for three! Turns out, this required moving up a size category to Small (1.25m-class), but that didn't stop them. The SPARK X3 delivers high Isp along with nearly 2 kN of thrust! However, it does need a lot of power... X4: The SPARK Technologies X4 is the pinnacle in Small (1.25m-class) Nested Hall Thruster ion engines. Seriously, we just couldn't fit any more nested thrusters into an engine this size. Providing best-in-class thrust (for an ion engine) with superb Isp, the X4 can take you far. Just be sure to bring lots of power because it's notoriously hungry... Gridded Ion Thrusters Gridded ion thrusters employ multiple differently charged grids to ionize a gas and accelerate the resulting ions out at terrific speed. Generally delivering higher Isp than a Hall Effect Thruster, they are characterized by even lower thrust. The stock Ion engine in KSP2 is an example of such an engine. However, recent advances have proven that even more performance is possible, albeit at a terrific cost in terms of power consumption. DS4G-1: Other gridded ion engines may have just two or three grids, but why stop there? The DS4G-1 has four grids, and knows how to use 'em! On the plus side, it delivers best-in-class Isp with superb thrust (for an ion engine). On the minus side, it requires a staggering amount of power... Get it? Minus side? Electrons? Why are you not laughing? Magnetoplasmadynamic Thrusters Magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters use the Lorentz force to accelerate negatively charged ions. Also known as Lorenz Force Accelerators, these engines can run on a variety of different fuels, but work best when fueled with Lithium. They produce very high thrust for an ion engine, however they have less Isp than some other types and consume staggering amounts of power. If you need more thrust, but want it in a high Isp package and you don't mind packing a nuclear reactor along for the ride, then an MPD thruster may be the option for you. Even their low-for-ion-engine Isp is much higher than you'd get from a chemical engine, and their thrust is on part with a small chemical engine. You may be surprised just how handy one of these actually is. MPD-1: The MPD-1 started out as a proof of concept Lorenz Force Accelerator in a Plasma Physics lab where an aspiring graduate assistant noticed that it kept nudging the coffee table to the left whenever Dr. Kasperov Kerman ran his experimental apparatus. How it found its way from there to the SPARK Technologies factory is an ongoing mystery. MPD-2: If you're looking for an ion engine with some serious thrust, then look no further! This little engine produces an impressive 96.4 kN at full throttle only demanding 1000 EC/s (and a trickle of lithium vapor) in return. There are chemical engines this size that produce less thrust! Of course, they don't need a fission power system to run... MPD-3: The MPD-3 is the pinnacle of high-thrust ion engines. Topping the chart at a whopping 242.2 kN of thrust, you'll be going places fast with this engine behind you! You may need as much power as a small metropolis to get there, but hey - that's just the cost of playing! Lithium "Tanks" Made of the finest materials other than lithium, these "tanks" (more like over-engineered cubby boxes) are designed to hold ingots of metallic lithium which they convert on demand to a (caustic) lithium vapor for use in the magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters. LT-XS-05: A handy little 'tank' designed to hold ingots of metallic Lithium. It's really more like an over-engineered cubby box than a tank, but it can deliver a caustic vapor suitable for use in magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters. The vapor can also be used to rid your house of unwanted pests. LT-XS-10: A slightly larger 'tank' with twice as many lithium ingot cubbies for even more storage versatility. While the doors do look like they might be watertight, it's probably best that you avoid submerging it. LT-XS-20: The LT-XS-20 (AKA Tall Boy) provides even more lithium ingot cubbies for double the capacity over the LT-XS-10. With this much lithium on board, you're fairly sure a small probe could get to the Mun and back, provided it's got an engine suitable for using lithium. LTR-XS-05: A clever radial variant of the popular LT-XS-05, this 'tank' holds ingots of metallic Lithium provided they've been properly rotated by 90 degrees. Does not float. LT-SM-060: Small (1.25m-class) Inline Lithium Tank - 0.6t capacity LT-SM-120: Small (1.25m-class) Inline Lithium Tank - 1.2t capacity. Kinda like two LT-SM-60's joined together, but better. LTR-SM-050: Small (1.25m-class) Radial Lithium Tank - 0.5t capacity LT-MD-470: Medium (2.5m-class) Inline Lithium Tank - 4.7t capacity LT-MD-940: Medium (2.5m-class) Inline Lithium Tank - 9.2t capacity. Kinda like two LT-MD-470's joined together, but better. Argon Tanks Similar to Xenon tanks in most regards, these tanks hold the noble gas Argon at high pressure for use in ion engines designed for consuming argon - of which there are currently none. This begs the question of why you would even need such a thing. A very good question, indeed! AT-XS-05: Cobbled together from spares leftover from a competitor's product, this handy tank will supply argon gas for your ion engine. If filled with Helium it can also be a lot of fun at parties, but your Isp is gonna suffer...

v5.1 - Darken the blue panels to match the shade of blue that stock solar panels have. I was never a favor of the original light blue of the original mod panels, they never really matched the stock game. ==================================================================================================================================================== With permission from yogui87, I am able to release my copy of the original LH Circular Panels. It appears the old link from the original thread is gone. I may be one of many few who has still has these solar panels. I have also updated it to included Firespitter plugin (dependency), to change solar panels in VAB or SPH, thanks to @COL.R.Nevilleadditions he added. Download from CKAN or Manual install below. LH Circular Panel Sizes Album Video Showcase v4.0: The solar panels where sitting on my HD and figure I should share them with you all. I just came back to game in 1.4.5, so far the panels work fine, they may need some updates. If anyone thinks the code needs updating and can do it, I can re-upload with the update and give credits. By far this isn't my mod, I just had possession of the mod, these solar panels belong to the community and yogui87 feels the same way. The solar panels come in 3 sizes: small, medium and large. One set comes with protective cover and the other set does not. Action Groups also work. Small EC = 1.6/sec. Medium EC = 3.2/sec. Large EC = 6.4/sec. In career mode, solar panels will unlock in Advanced Electrics, just like the stock solar panels. LH Circular Panel EC Album They come in default Black, but can be changed to Blue. To change color, go in: VAB or SPH, when a solar panel is placed on a craft, right-click and you will get options to change colors. Make sure the solar panel is extend, so you can see the color change. These solar panel were originally designed to recreate Orion type space craft, with the black circular panels. But they can be used for any type space craft or mission. You can find it on CKAN Here is the download link for v5.1: SpaceDock Installation is straight forward. You will also need Firespitter, in order to change the color of the solar panels in the VAB or SPH: https://snjo.github.io/ Just download the Plugin and place it in your GameData folder. This is if you don't already have Firespitter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The original v4.0 by yogui87, unedited by myself or anyone.

Welcome to the 2nd ever parts mod! What does this mod do? Ever needed everything important for a rocket/space station in one part? Have you maybe also needed a Mass Simulator, or just something to hold down your rovers or spacecraft on low-gravity moons? Look no further than Utility Uplift! This is a combination of my pre-existing Utility Weights & Service Bays mods, but now merged! This mod adds 3 different sizes of service bays, all of which contain a probe core, batteries, monopropellant AND fuel, allowing for easy and compact spacecraft for newer players, or players looking for an efficient part that provides everything a rocket or space station needs! It also adds 4 different sized Utility Weights, which currently display as using "Solid Fuel", however that is a placeholder until we figure out how to make that text customizable.

Hello, and welcome to this new suggestion.. Today I present to you: Procedural Ladders. Currently, placing ladders one by one is cumbersome and often results in less than optimal looks... So by using the same principle as tubes already in the game, we could add length to one ladder, making it all one part. This would result in performance, quality of life, and visual improvements- Personally though, I don't much like how ladders look, but it's only personal opinion... This will be my Kraken Tank submission, thanks for coming.

Figure I would get this particular topic rolling With lots of modders using custom categories, we're starting to bump into each other. Is there interest in establishing, similar to CTT and CRP, a Community Category Kit (CCK)? If so... What categories are you currently using? How are you placing your parts in those categories? (Paging @Angel-125 and @Nils277 since those are two off the top of my head where we may have conflicts). Discuss [Heads up - will move this to a proper release thread, but here's the current Github link for interested parties :)] https://github.com/BobPalmer/CommunityCategoryKit/releases

Pretty short suggestion post, there's currently no (good looking) option for a twin seat Mk1 cockpit, as your options are essentially limited to either: or Neither of which are particularly pretty, a twin seat stretched variant of the Peregrine cockpit would work wonders here for plane designs, something akin to the F-14's cockpit perhaps?

I present to you my first parts mod, Bumblebee! A (re)stockalike mod based on NASA's Dragonfly drone, designed to explore Titan-like worlds! Includes a black colour scheme too: album: https://imgur.com/a/lFNv9dI Build Guide: https://github.com/Rodg88/BumbleBee/wiki/Build-Guide Video review from Kottabos: Features include: * Small electric propellers that use @Angel-125's KerbalActuators to give them spinning blades, mirroring, prop blur, and a hover mode. * An antenna that tracks the homeworld (in one axis at least) * A large science payload, including compatibility for some Bluedog Design Bureau and Coatl Probes Plus experiments if those mods are installed. * Compatibility for Near Future Electrical, the probe core will include a large capacitor if installed, to increase flight range. * A parachute/drogue combo with "fancy custom normals", that plug into the 2.5m aerodynamic back shell (which is designed to fit the Restock heat shield), or can be surface attached as a drogue/main set Download: https://spacedock.info/mod/2428/Bumblebee https://github.com/Rodg88/BumbleBee/releases Also on CKAN V0.6 Updated deps and tested in KSP 1.12.2 Fixed prop sound on high power mode Fixed colliders on decoupler causing sticky aeroshell deployment Merge PR for Interstellar Extended support (thanks Shimomeitakatote) V0.5 Added variants to the decoupler with 0.625m and 1.25m bottom diameter rings, instead of just the specialized Bumblebee decoupler. Updated Indicator Lights patch to take advantage of new features in v1.7 (commnet connection indicator). V0.4 Added gold and silver foil textures to the Core, Antenna, RTG, and science Sensor. Updated all lenses to have a new reflective texture. Added carbon texture variant to prop parts. V0.3 New dual rotor part for light probes in light atmospheres, based on the NASA Mars Helicopter. Also a long variant of the single truss for the Duna rotor. Added Surface Sample experiment to the landing skid part (requires the Bumblebee Probe core on the same craft to work) Minor fixes to other parts. V0.2: Updated Prop parts. They now activate on Duna, but won't do you much good. Also enabled surface attachment on the single prop, and added ground FX. Also a low power mode for precision flight on low gravity moons. Added glowing LEDs, with compatibility for NFE (blue LED's brightness = capaciter charge) and Indicator Lights (Top Green LED goes yellow/red on low/critical charge). Added Hullcam Patch Download includes B9 Part Switch, Kerbal Actuators, CommunityResourcePack, and DMagicScienceAnimate, which are the hard dependencies, as well as CommunityCategoryKit which is optional (parts all appear in the Rover category).

I feel that a system that can generate heat tiles on the desired surface of a fuel tank (standard methalox tanks not hydrogen tanks however), wing or command pod/cockpit should be implemented. Unlocked somewhere in the tech tree, aka not unlocked by default, you have to earn it. Perhaps a universal part that when applied to a fuel tank, wing part or aircraft cockpit, becomes procedurally generated and snaps to the surface of part you applied it to. ( similar to how fairings work but it automatically just covers the side of the part you apply it to). It can't be destroyed unless the part it is attached to is destroyed. (or, it could simply act like just adding a texture to a side of a part which is much simpler and less resource intensive because it doesn't add a literal part to the craft) It would add weight to the part it is attached to proportional to the size of the heat tiling generated. Heat tiles would protect the part exposed to the airflow underneath them from aerodynamic heating but would not effect aerodynamic forces because that would cause a lot of issues with building crafts. They simply shield one side (or both if you apply it to both sides) from heating to a certain degree and add weight to the part they are attached to. I feel this would add an extra level of realism and fun factor. This also brings me to an issue: heating is not simulated by skin temp and internal temp like it was in ksp . It's just a generic temperature by part mechanic that isn't very realistic. It also creates part balance issues. I feel for the thermal system in ksp2 to work properly it needs to take in to account both skin temperature and internal temperature. Anyway for a thermal tiling part system to work, skin/internal temperature would need to be separate things. thanks for reading!

I have tried using the most recent update to BD armory and it's dependencies, in both the most recent KSP version and the version that it was updated for. I have deleted and redownloaded from each relevant github, taking each folder out of their gamedata folders and putting them in KSP's gamedata folder (I did not put the BD armory gamedata folder into the KSP gamedata folder, just the BD armory folder). I have tried many fixes suggested online, but nothing seems to work. Could I have some help with this please? I can send screenshots if it helps fix the issue.

I understand the team desire to cut down on single use science experiments but I feel like this has left the amount of experiments feeling rather barren. So I've made a small bundle of ideas for different experiments that could be done, keeping in mind the design goal of making all the experiments more involved than simple button presses. Telescopes! Artificial gravity wheels! Plane science! I hope you enjoyed reading my ramblings after having delved into the current For science! update. Thus far I'm halfway through tier two in a max difficulty ramp up save file (200% reentry heating, -50% science), and this came as a response to feeling like the current science system, while a good base, is rather lacking. I hope these are some fun ideas for you all to chew on! Have a lovely morning, evening, or night! ^w^ ~Sammy

If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, please feel free to contribute or open an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/cvusmo/FFT). 0.1.4.3 is available now on CKAN and github! Devnotes: I've never made 3D Textures before so I'm learning all of this as I'm modding. 3D textures are pretty complex for their shaders. Unfortunately there's not a guide on how to make 3D textures. I've looked and if anyone has any resources they know of that could help, that would be appreciated! For now, I wanted to update the quality of life. 0.1.4.4 is going to focus on texture overhauls and adding a few more tanks. Once I have a fully functional, stable, and not-performance heavy VFX, I will let you all know. I will still update about it! The devblog #5 will be out Friday on Youtube! [Soon.tm] - VFX Overhaul - Update OAB pictures [WIP] - Clean up textures [WIP] - Improve VFX quality [WIP] - Improve Texture quality on Hydrogen Tanks (medium) [WIP] - Improve performance of VFX [WIP] Devblog #4 Below is a list of everything I've been working on for Fancy Fuel Tanks v0.1.4.1. It's been a lot of work and I'm really enjoying learning how to optimize and improve performance. Fancy Fancy Fuel Tanks v0.1.4.1 Pre-Patch Notes Here's the flight telemetry I've gathered from testing. I'll be using this data to fine tune the Dynamic Environmental VFX!

Just a small balancing suggestion, with the removal of the direct vs relay distinction between antennas (all antennas function as relays), it gives the KSP1 relay parts very little reason to practically exist compared to their deployable counterparts besides being immune to aerodynamic forces (Which, while giving a genuine decision making process for the smaller antennas, falls off with size due to the larger antennas often being very draggy). An example; comparing the HG-55 to its non-deployable counterpart, the RA-15, it's clear that the HG-55 outclasses it in virtually every conceivable way: It's much lighter (0.075t VS 0.3t) It has a much higher transmission rate (12.5 KiB/s VS 2.5 KiB/s) It uses much less electricity per KiB sent (0.7e/KiB VS 5e/KiB) \ The deployable antennas are lighter, deployable, more efficient and (barring the 88-88 vs RA-100) have faster data transmission speeds than their heavier non-deployable counterparts, to remedy this in my opinion the non-deployable antennas should be given significantly faster data transmissions speeds than their deployable counterparts (on the order of 3x their deployable counterparts) and better electricity/KiB efficiency, this would them much more of a gameplay distinction than their deployable counterparts and gives a genuine reason why players might choose to go with the much heavier non-deployable antennas compared with their deployable counterparts (Especially for missions that include time-critical EOL situations, such as an atmospheric entry probe that needs to transmit its science before being obliterated)

Currently creating the models for this mod. The goal is to add some unique heatshields to the game in time for the re-entry update that will be coming! Sizes to get shields: XS, S, M, L, XL Not sure if I'll make a procedurally generated heatshield. I would love to but I'll need help figuring out how that works. This is the first model I'm working on. It's for medium sized tanks. I've also made a Budget Starship to test out the hexagon heatshield. More to follow as I'm still actively developing other mods! Showcasing a new heat shield in Kerbal Forge!
