Could I actually use them as part of a career mode lunar mission or are they only good for sandbox shakedowns right now?

zakkpaz Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 2 hours ago, pTrevTrevs said: Wait, are these new Apollo/Saturn parts functional enough to be used in normal gameplay? I thought they were still prototypes missing a lot of functionality. seems to work just fine for me, although there's way to much DV in the first two stages. then again that was something i thought with the old version as well. only thing thats really missing is that the docking probe doesn't decouple.

serjames Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) Hi :-) quick question... Back giving Kerbal a run... been 2 years, but need to scratch the BDB itch. I've got my first MOL up using a Titan launch system and really trying to stick to not kit-bashing too much... One issue I've having is that I have two labs attached together using the Heavy Docking ports. For some reason I cannot transfer crew between the modules ? I'm using CLS btw. Is that a known issue ? Am I doing something wrong ? Shows the module as blocked or impassable ? Edited September 7, 2021 by serjames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try right-clicking on both docking ports and clicking “open hatch.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrbitalManeuvers Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Forgive me, this isn't strictly BDB but you guys are the best crowd to ask: does the MRO exist anywhere in KSP land? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents Reveal hidden contents Reveal hidden contents Very nice. How do you deorbit the Big G? With the RCS? One flaw that I could not get around with the BDB iteration of Big G is that no retro pack was provided. I think the dev team has that one for action. I had to create one by kitbashing.

Invaderchaos Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Mariner 4 is done being modelled! That just leaves a few more things for Mariner 5, and then I can start unwrapping and texturing! 8 hours ago, OrbitalManeuvers said: Forgive me, this isn't strictly BDB but you guys are the best crowd to ask: does the MRO exist anywhere in KSP land? Currently, none that I am aware of. However, in the future I am considering making it in a probe mod I am working on separate from BDB. That won't be for a while though.

Let me know if its better (even if not totally fixed) with the latest Github commits. I merged down the meshes on the S-II and S-IVB engine mounts, which I think will reduce the lag caused by the aero FX. I still need to perform that on the rest of the stack, but I believe those would have been the biggest offenders. I'll have to perform the same fix for the rest at some point.

I'll have to redo the current one, as well as add the proper conical one. It was pending the Saturn revamp since it's dependent on the S-IVB diameter.
