  1. Whoops! I never got notifications for this thread. Dangit!

    KIS/KAS has C4 explosives that need to be triggered by an EVA kerbal, and they let you set fuse time and blast radius.

    Or do you need something remotely triggered?

    Remote detonation would be pretty important in the event of a failure during early launch in order to protect the civilians around the area :P Maybe there's a way to mess with the configs to make it replace TAC-SD's explosives? I'm not very smart with files so I wouldn't know ;A;

    KSPIE has a self-destruct button on antimatter container. All you need is a bit of antimatter and press the self destruct button to go kaboom. It can also happen spontaneously if you poke the container or forget to feed it with enough power.

    It's a cool feature for sure but it is way too expensive and impractical for standard GPS satellite launches, haha

    After playing with this mod, I find it makes the absolute best relays.  

    It could use an expansion, though.  Specifically some Xeon engines, a science storage module, a reentry shield and a parachute.

    It already has a xenon engine and tanks, and the stock mini science hard drives should do the trick i think. heatshield would be really nice, although i'm not sure how useful it'd be since crafts this tiny are usually just mini communication relays, likewise with the parachute. Since our pal Linux is only maintaining this however, it's never gonna get any new parts unless someone decides to make an expansion for it

  3. Kerbals seem to have more or less the same color receptors that we do, judging by the ingame flag designs. Purple is the combination of red and blue light, so it'd cause some problems if you could see into the ultraviolet spectrum but only perceive it as a combination of two shorter wavelengths. It'd be like seeing all blue things as somewhere between red and green (yellowish). We don't even know if Kerbals process color the same way humans do, for all we know they could see everything in monochrome and "feel" color in the image they perceive, just like looking at something we can tell if it's rough or soft. Or something like that... I should probably stop talking before I say something very stupid! Or maybe the whole idea is irrelevant since we never actually see first-person in stock KSP anyway :P

  4. Hi, I've been wanting to make a big modded Realism Overhaul save including a ton of parts packs (SpaceY, OPT, SSR Airlaunch, Near Future, you name it) but since I'm not a very technical person when it comes to videogames, I have no idea how they'd fit into RO! Does RO manually edit everything in stock and included mods, or does it use an algorithm depending on resource that should theoretically work with any mod? Or is it something else? However it works, what kind of system should I utilize to modify parts so that they work with RO? I'm super dedicated to running a realistic as possible save but these mods are too juicy to resist

  5. I like for my missions to be as grounded in realism as possible and so an emergency self-destruct system is a definite must-have! Maybe something that just adds in a series of small to medium-ish explosive charges. TAC Self Destruct isn't really what I have in mind though, because they aren't really explosives more than just cheats that cause the parent part to explode. I'm looking for actual bomb-like systems that need careful calculation for how much force is needed to blow up the desired part. Do I need to stick with improvisation with BDA or is there something like this out there? Or have I completely misunderstood how TAC-SD works lol

  6. I remember hearing about a mod that would allow the player to, say, undock a craft from a space station, fly it down to the surface, and then revert time back to the space station and undock a different craft from the station, with the previous craft autonomously recreating all your actions from before in real-time, as if you were playing side-by-side with a clone of yourself! But I can't seem to find it. Is my imagination playing tricks on me or is there such a thing
