@allista Firstly, thanks for this awesome mod. It makes my shuttle flights so much easier than when I had to manually babysit the thrust limiter. I do have one relatively minor quibble: is it possible to change the status colors of the various buttons/toggles? The default yellow off/green on that many of them use is very difficult for me (and I suspect other people who are red/green colorblind) to distinguish between. It's particularly annoying not being able to tell at a glance what T-SAS is set to, which has led to a few rapid unplanned disassemblies... Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks Shadowmage! Can't wait to try it out. -
SPACE STATIONS! Post your pictures here

This is Earthshine Station: It's primarily a science station, but I'm stockpiling Material Kits from recycled space junk there and it may eventually turn into an EPL shipyard. It has a full-time crew of seven (5 scientists and 2 engineers), and can go almost a year without a resupply. It has a small amount of fuel storage as well and can act as a refueling stop for ships in LKO. It's composed of nine modules at present, with at least two more planned for the near future (another storage module and a zoology bay). Here's a shot of Shuttle YYZ delivering the first storage module: Here you can also see the leftover engines and fuel tanks from the initial module launches before they were disassembled into Material Kits. -

Rescue Contracts - Restricting Available Pod types (how to get target of a contract?)
wgering replied to Shadowmage's topic in C# Plugin Development Help and Support
Haven't looked at the code, but could you try adding criteria to the pod selection? Something like "ElectricCharge > 0" and/or "Monopropellant > 0" might help cut out parts like the inflatables. -
Been working on this: That's a Class E in the center, with a Class D, three Class C's and a Class B. You can see a miner grappled onto the Class D on the right. I'm hoping to try out RoverDude's Asteroid Recycling Technologies mod to turn this beast into a fuel station.

Roll on control surfaces is reversed.
wgering replied to FireFaced's question in Technical Support (PC, modded installs)
I'm was seeing this with my shuttle as well. I have a suspicion that the game is misreading the position and/or rotation of the flaps relative to the CoM of the entire craft. You could try installing FAR, that fixed it for me. -
The Shuttlecock- Skycrane inspired Eve rover and lander for early in career mode
wgering replied to Rufledt's topic in The Spacecraft Exchange
I would cut the legs and chutes off the lander and put a chute or two on the rover. Decouple the rover and deploy chutes about 1km above the surface. It would save a bit of weight and I think it's easier on the rover. -
HX-1 Circular Wing Experiment. Or what happens when I fuse the Normandy with a Corellian Corvette.

That is a thing of beauty. What kind of payload capacity does it have? -
How to kill 2 contracts with one ship
wgering replied to Nerfherde's topic in The Spacecraft Exchange
The best is when you get an orbital station contract and a surface outpost contract for the same planet/moon. Park your base in orbit, get paid; land it on the surface, get paid more! -
It's a nice stage...but can it make orbit???

What about some procedural tourist contracts that mimic the already-existing visual survey contracts? Haven't looked at the code, but seems like it wouldn't be too hard. Fly a tourist through a cluster of waypoints above or below a certain altitude so they can take some sweet aerial photos.

Quinjet. VTOL, SSTO, cargo bay with ramp... it lacks cloaking, but that's about it.
wgering replied to Rune's topic in The Spacecraft Exchange
To get around the offset cockpit, you can bury a probe core (I like the OKTO2) aligned along the axis of the plane and "Control From Here". I got tired of crashing my angled-cockpit shuttle because I forgot about the 20 degree offset. -
Now that's what I call a Rocket Man!
