yxxxx Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Yxxxx Industries are proud to present the first in what they hope to be many rocket parts.The First to market is a slight modification to the standard Fuel tank. Using the basic design of the FL series of fuel containers yxxxx Industries brings a brand new fuel source to the original design. Achieved by heavily modifying the internal structure and borrowing a couple components from a man in a pub they have managed to squeeze in more fuel for the same weight cost and only a slightly higher chance of creating creators on the launch pad.Enjoy Any feed back would be welcome Fuel TanksYXN2047 Download http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=482.0;attach=393 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomrider Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 This was the same problem I had with the XL Fuel tank: increasing fuel capacity without increasing weight or drag doesn't make any sense and makes it too easy to make rockets that can travel to the Andromeda galaxy without refueling.My suggestion: rather than have the con be only a higher chance of exploding, increase the weight or increase the amount of drag it causes. Since your idea is that it somehow holds more fuel for less weight, make air resistance a much harsher mistress when this puppy's added on. It could make sense that way; the fuel tank's designed in a much less aeronautically-helpful shape to hold more for the same weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kobold King Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 i have to agree with doom rider on this one, if i wanted to cheat my way through space i would use the cheat rockets i have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yxxxx Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Both very good points which i completly agree with which is why these only add a couple of seconds extra boost. Im still messing around with the editor and what the diffrent variables do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some101 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Well, if it's a couple of extra seconds, I personally don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ijuin Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Of what the fuel tank looks like, I presume, assuming that it is not visually identical to the standard ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yxxxx Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 ah right ok will get some however there are only minor visual changes. enough though to distinguish it in the menu and on the space ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legoasaurus Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 It's ok. but I fail to see the benefit of 5 seconds extra fuel. Now, make it 30 seconds, and there you go, but make it heavier, and with a higher chance of boomey-crash. That'd show that added weight of having more fuel and the added danger of having it more pressurised. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yxxxx Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Its difficult to strike a balance between making something thats useful and that doesnt feel like breaking the game and making something that goes too far the other way and makes it just to easy to get into space.I think that the way i have done it by adding a little more fuel with a higer chance of explosion is a good mid point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
