It may not be resource-efficient to figure out what is being scanned by an inactive ship, but it is quite efficient to figure out what would have been scanned by a ship had it been active, once it becomes active.

Okay so I tried out making just the ring, and it works well under most engines. The nuclear engine doesn't work though, since the fairings are jettisoned when you stage the engine, so the docking ring just hovers there under the engine. I might remodel and/or retexture the docking rings, so when I make a new batch, I'll include that fairingless ring.
Thanks for that, BahamutoD. Also, I enjoyed your take on the intro music.

This is an important thing you have done here. Thanks!
-
Good job, Talisar! You've at least doubled the this mod's awesomeness - and the structural bits are awesome, too. Thanks for the great update!

Hooligan Labs : Thank you for all your hard work on these mods, and best of luck in all your future endeavors!
JewelShisen: Glad that you will be taking up the mantle; it is a good sign that someone already so active with it has decided to keep it going.
Looking at your tech-tree, might I suggest it be arranged a little differently? The Ludo is a fairly primitive dirigible, so shoudl be available much earlier in the tree, replacing the Dodec's location. The Dodec is made out of fairly sophisticated materials, and is best used en-mass or with smaller vehicles. Precision Engineering seems like the place it ought to be. Other than those two, everything feels to be in a correct place. I appreciate the Una placed in survivability.
edit: That weather balloon sounds cool.

What I mean is a docking ring which has no centre; a torus, or hoop. It could be mounted inline below an engine, and have the engine exhaust blow through the ring. I believe the docking clamp you are making already is equivilant to this, but additionally has fairings on the side of it.
Thanks!
-
I really like the idea of these docking rings. Will there be a fairing-less version as well as the one with fairings? I would find a lot of use for such a part.
-
The maneuver node system (and the math it is based on) expects all the force of the burn to be delivered instantaneously. Because this is a physical impossibility, we have to make as close an approximation as possible, and do that by burning half before, then half after.
-
So, no more needing to dock perpendicular to the plane of my orbit?
-
PolecatEZ, you should check out duplicate-asset-memory-reduction by somnambulist. Some of your EVA work may already be done for you.
-
If you do go for the linux 64 bit, you should check out KSP's linux support thread. There is a bit-patch you should run that'll deal with some 'quirks' you may encounter. Mind you, just because of the different way linux handles memory, you might only need to run the better supported 32 bit version.
-
Good to see this made it here. It's been excellent so far.
-
This looks really good, thank you!

One consideration: It really ought to work equally well at any time-warp. It always bugged me that ISA MapSat (and the Kethane detectors for that matter) start missing cells at higher time warps. You know where the satellite was the last time you added a cell, and you know where it is now -- it ought to be trivial to fill in all the data in between, rather than just at the current point...
("It ought to be trivial" is what a usually say before I dig into the code and really come to understand the problem... lol)
It also ought to work when not the active craft. This is the biggest thing keeping me away from mods like Kethane, Mapsat, Extraplanetary Launchpads, etc. It is possible to have this kind of information processed on an inactive flight, as we see in KSP Interstellar.
So, this sounds very promising, good luck!

I have this installed, the Muziker volume bar pops up, but I've never had any of the tracks play. Does it have any other sort of dependancies I've missed? Should I turn off the volume to the stock music? Or keep it turned up? Thanks!

My condolences; I feel very badly for your dog. One of my pets died in the past year from a terrible lung cancer.
One of the worst things about cancer is that it is a disease that can come about from a single cell. To fully wipe out a cancer, each and every cancer cell in the whole body must be killed, or it can, and probably will, recur. Also, because cancer cells can migrate through the body, there is no way to be certain of killing them all with a focused method like you've detailed. The reason that our usage of radiation and chemotherapy is effective is because cancerous cells spend an inordinate amount of energy on division, and much less on resistance. The radiation kills the cancer slightly faster than it kills healthy cells, and the chemotherapy prevents cell division to keep the cancer in check. (It is actually the chemotherapy that causes hair to fall out, and not the radiation treatments.) Because cancer cells are less robust than normal cells, they are also more suseptable to death from viral invasion - I believe that a great deal of anti-cancer viral research goes on in Russia.

This is really, really neat. It will certainly find a permanent home with me once you solve that crashing bug. Good luck!

Well, if they're moving, then they have power. (Electricity) Some of the wheels are pretty deceptive in how they look; I've mounted more than one set upside-down accidentally. Careful observation of their suspension can give you a clue as to which way is up, but usually it's easier to just flipping them.
-
Use radial engines, and mount your landers in the rear.
Boy, that sounds dirtier than I intended.
-
1) Sounds like your wheels are upside down.
2) When in EVA with a Kerbal, right-click on the command chair.
3) Automatically occurs after 2)
4) In a pod? You should clarify this question.
-
Unfortunately, everyone gets that mass of messages in your code box, even in stock games. It is suspected to be the source of the long scene changes that some people are suffering.
-
Lol, you are one of many who want that configuration. When I was making up the new set, due to the relative sizes of the medium tank and the 2.5m endcap for it, it pretty much looked like a band with two cones on either side. Not noticeably spherical really. You can sort of see the same effect on the small and large tanks with the larger endcaps, but it was worse on the medium.
However, due to the large demand for this particular configuration, as well as fixing the capacities of the toroidal tanks and adding in the cfgs for further fuel types, I'll polish up the medium/2.5m version and release them all as a full update for the pack in a day or so. I'd appreciate any further feedback/suggestions/bugfixes that anyone can provide over the next day or so, in order get the most out of the update. (And if you all like the toroidal tanks, I will probably make those in more sizes as well.)
Well, if you need some inspiration on how to make the 2.5 spherical tanks look like spheres, here's how some other modders have done it.

Ok, it's a nuke; but it's still spherical.
And from Large Structural/Station Components for KSP .20
Oh yeah, check out this engine, too.

Bac9, I hate to be a nit-pick but you should change the name of "Gamedata" to "GameData" in your archive for us linux types.

My submarines suck, it just hangs upside down in the water.
You need more ballast on the bottom!

There was an old, old mod that stiffened the joints up on rockets. Because planet surfaces are completely rigid, it became not unlike two solid pieces of metal bouncing around together when trying to land. Without the give between joints, or our modern shock-absorbing legs, it was an altogether unpleasant experience.
I'm glad to see this return; the time is right.
