Mk 2.5 fuselage expension (V0.1 released on 25/03/2015)

That's the plan but for the screenshot I used a bi coupler and translated it frontward

Stock textures converted in png the rest is up to the uv map(made it myself thought)

I've tried that, I'm not new to modding ksp, (i have a crap load of them installed (and surprisingly working together)) but i cant seem to get these to work, i even tried in a clean install, but i have to ask now that i think about it, when you say file do you mean folder into gamedata or literally the files themselves?

Edit: So apparently it wasnt extracting it properly and never put the "parts" folder in the "Mk2.5 fuselage expension" folder, and it won't work unless its set up that way, point is i ended up figuring it out and it's working now.

Very nice, will the middle middle have 3 stack nodes on each side?

That's the plan

I'd suggest making a bicoupler of sorts instead, just a very short fuselage section of the same form factor, with one node on the front that connects to a Mk2.5 fuselage, and two 1.25m nodes behind. Open nodes can occasionally have side effects, in particular in FAR/NEAR where they cause drag.

Ok I've fixed that now

It might be also easier to place thanks for the advice

I'd love to see this updated for 1.0.2, especially with the body lift in new KSP. The flatter bits probably should lift a little better than the stock Mk2 fuselage.

The ovoid fuselage section is exactly the part shape I've been looking for...except I need a cargo bay in that form. I know animations are a pain, but do you think that might be a possibility at some point?

This is a great idea, cant wait to see this in action.

I agree with this.

Also, mk.2.5 nosecone.

This could be used for some awesome rovers...

This Mk2.5 form-factor deserves to be noticed!

I can imagine bases built entirely from Mk2.5 - habitation modules, payload bays, many structural adapter variants and such!

So maybe this is not forgotten, maybe it is time to revive Mk2.5 from the ashes?

Yeah, too bad it seems abandoned, and worse: there was never a license posted...So it would have to be redone from scratch...

Well, at least it was only three simple parts... Maybe someone will pick up the form factor/idea and run with it... ???
