Terwin Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 In my 1.0.5 Game I am using Roverdude's life support(it only turns non-orange-suit kerboanuts into tourists until they get more food instead of killing them, I don't like killing kerbals) as well as his Kolonization system. While previously I was sending a Scansat then following up with a Kerbaled ISRU vessel, I am now sending out Scansats followed up by a Fuel Depot with a Logistics hub(drone with drills, power, ISRU, lots of fuel storage, a couple large life support tanks, and the larger greenhouse to turn mulch into more noms with the hub that lets me send resources to any ship that is landed or in a stable orbit in the local SOI for a reasonable fuel cost) That way I have fuel and food resources in place before any Kerbals arrive in-SOI. My Duna ship(only kerbeled vessel currently outside the Kerbin SOI) also has 2 seats per kerbal and a gender balanced crew to help alleviate the tedium of a 170 day transit(not so good at using launch windows) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farex Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) Thanks Kuzzter for explaining this to me. I did not know that this space marine things from aliens are actually a real thing. Also, the adaption of the forums for your kerbal network is quite clever. One thing though, I know it is Wernhers character (since he was, well, german) but do you really have to use such long words? Weltraumfahrzeugträger is absolutely correct, yes, but no one would use a word like this for this I find this to be quite funny. (just for nitpicking side-information you wouldn't say "aeronautical automotive craft" but rather "airplane", right?)

I would think the Kerbulans would consider such research 'soft and decadent' and not have their ships bogged down by such luxuries. Yes... a warrior cares not for 'long term health risks'. I'll have to make sure the Kerbulans can still function whenever they're in the same install, I don't intend to have them 'need' NOMS. 1 hour ago, Terwin said: In my 1.0.5 Game I am using Roverdude's life support(it only turns non-orange-suit kerboanuts into tourists until they get more food instead of killing them, I don't like killing kerbals) as well as his Kolonization system. Right, I considered that too--but I don't know if I want that much complexity in this go. I might mod ISRU to be able to create fertilizer from ore + mulch (hey, if Watney could do it, why not Bill?) or just carry enough supplies to stay out for a really long time. 25 minutes ago, Farex said: ...do you really have to use such long words?

This is going to add some challenges, and it's the real reason (explained in the comic by Mort's cancellation of crewed flights) that I pulled everyone back to LKO during the return trip from Eve. I'll probably have a couple of large NOMS tanks, greenhouses and some fertilizer aboard the [REDACTED] to make sure everyone is happy for the whole trip to and from Jool: at some point I'll also have to get some NOMS up to Micarooni Station as well. Ah, USI-LS and its incredibly sustaining nourishment, NOMS.

Loveable fools they might be, but they're not short of raw courage either. (Sure - I'll strap myself to this stack of SRB's - what could go wrong!) If push came to shove, I think Kerbfleet could surprise everyone - probably including Kerbfleet. Anyhow - loving the new story, especially Sarge. We need moar Sarge!

And I share Dilsby's uncertainty over the space doors. Thanks! Just a note... you may notice that the hangar is six segments long, and the Longboat needed TWO full-sized cargo bays totaling eight segments. So the actual [REDACTED] is going to have to be even BIGGER than this hangar concept ship! It is indeed a fun exercise to try and use stock parts to internally carry something wider than any stock cargo bay. I may end up modding some parts myself to make the concept work--or I may throw the whole thing out and re-design the big landers to fit inside a Mk3. Whelp, that's why we test first!

Angelo Kerman Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 It occurs to me that you can duplicate the mk3 cargo bay configs and then scale up the model. You wouldn't need custom meshes that way. Under the MODEL node just add "scale = 5, 5, 5" without the quotes. You'd get a bay that is 18.75m in diameter.

Angelo Kerman Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Mk15 Massive Orbital Repository for Aircraft Cargo Bay: 3-5 times the size of a regular Mk3 cargo bay.
