I have a couple more labels to make, like the Booze Brothers' Vodka, and "Hydrazine" (reference to @Kuzzter's comics)

LOL, that label's great

There is a scene in the Expanse where the bartender pours a drink and the liquor arcs into the glass. I’d imagine it would be like that. 

That show is visually stunning

Also the bird on the Asteroid that flapped slowly

In the "Wild Blue Verse" (for lack of a better name), @Kuzzter Industries is a major powerhouse, making such things as their widely successful kPad, the Kuzzter Instruments Three Thousand (K.I.T.T.) artificially intelligent shipboard computer found in the Clydesdale and Danube Delta, and some of the best liquor in the solar system:

Looks great!  I assume there are restraining bars across the front of the shelves for during launch and maneuvers, but are removed during business hours

I finished the disco ball and dance floor:

Just need to make the jukebox and overlay, and some minor texture tweaks, then the Nautilus Centrifuge will be done at last!

I think there's only one better name possible: The Wild Blueniverse. HA! I'll see myself out.

I was amused to see Hydrazine right next to Whiskey in typical Kerbal fashon then, slightly sad that the bottle said Vodka.

If you think the whiskey is bad, wait until he tries the 190-proof "Hydrazine"

I just wanted to drop in and let you know how much I appreciate your dedication to providing fun and useful IVAs. It really works well with my playstyle, and does a lot to enhance my experience with your already externally visually interesting models.

 

They're really cool, is what I'm trying to say. Thanks for taking the time to do them!

[Angelo Kerman]

@Mandella Thanks! IVAs are a royal pain, and I'm glad that this is the last one for DSEV, but I'm also glad they're getting use. Introducing the Space Bar:

Closeup of the cheesy 1970s jukebox:

Once I wire up the plugin, you'll be able to play .wav files if you put them in the 000WildBlueTools/Music folder. It'll come with a few CC-BY-NC-SA licensed disco-like music files...

Working jukebox:

Almost done with the centrifuge!

[Kosmonaut]

yass

[Angelo Kerman]

Last bit: the overlay:

What's fun is that you can see the disco floor animate during overlay mode. The Nautilus Centrifuge is done! I still have more to do though, but it's one more part that I can cross off my list.

[Angelo Kerman]

New part:

10m spherical storage with the typical Wild Blue ability to switch resources.

[Kosmonaut]

Love the texturing there

For this part, much tanks.

 

[Angelo Kerman]

Finished the Nautilus Tank Cluster:

The Tank Cluster is a 7.5m part that consists of 7 tanks and 6 radiators. It has built-in adapters for 5m, 3.75m, and 2.5m parts, and it has up to 7 engine mounts. While I won't be making the VASIMR engine found on the NAUTILUS-X- the very low thrust would drive me nuts when making burns- the propulsion module is supposed to be modular on NASA's design. So instead, the reference design uses a trio of Trinity motors.

Anyway, more to do, but for the Nautilus, I'm down to the automated construction hangar and the hangar adapter part. Almost there!

Rolling through the parts tonight, here's the Type 2 D2 Truss to Hex Truss:

now thats sexy!

[Angelo Kerman]

Not much to show for this part of DSEV's update, but I'm revising the truss parts to hopefully speed up render performance. Things have changed and the current version of the parts will be deprecated. Your existing craft will be fine, but new vessels will need the new versions of the trusses. The readme will explain. Anyway, here's how the different mesh options look:

Fuel Tank (default):

Classic option to store resources in.

Hollow:

Hollow gives you an open space in which to attach equipment.

Empty:

Nothing inside, but it's a solid piece.

Crew Tube:

Also a solid piece, but with a crew tube.

I've redone the quarter, half, full size, and double-size hex trusses and the D2 trusses will get the same treatment. I've also redone the adapter pieces; hopefully with these changes the game will render your ships faster.

[Angelo Kerman]

New Multi Hex Truss. This works like the stock payload fairing where you can attach parts to the trusses:

At max length:

so you mean to say all my existing craft with these parts will need to be .......exploded

Existing craft will be fine, but your craft files won't work unless you do the conversions.
