Devnote Tuesday: On the eighth day before Christmas, Squad gave to me...

Quick idea: make that the non-retractable solar panels can be retracted by an engineer (lvl. 1 or 2) in EVA

Some Scrum teams use 7 day cycles, my company is using it with a 14 day cycle.  It really depends on how you want to use it

Yeah, I've even adapted it for my school's ROV team. Me and the other two seniors are the ScrumMasters. We use 14 day sprints, too.

What is the base size of that decelerator? 3.75m?

Roverdude confirmed on Reddit that the base attach point is 2.5 metres, and contains enough space for a small payload, such as a rover, dude.

Hey there

Nice devnotes again.

What is the base size of that decelerator? 3.75m? That looks like an awesome new toy to me. 

2.5 m attachment node, inflates to about 10m diameter.

Glad you folks dig it

[Endersmens]

YES WE DIG IT. It would have made my eve trip much easier  trying to fit a 2.5m flotilla under a 3.75m heatshield is harder than you think.  

[Brucey]

Nice job communicating.

Keep it up Squad!

[Streetwind]

Wow, nearly 10 meters inflated? My mind is already rattling through all the potential uses. Awesome part!

[DunaRocketeer]

Lots of build possibilities for that new part, thanks for the Christmas present Squad!

Thinking about the new relay system, it occurred to me: each time there's a major release, my mod list shrinks

[eurybaric]

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Heatshield!

I always think mine will, but then there's a new shiny mod to replace the one I no longer need.

[ostrich]

ESA moon challenge?

[John FX]

Add me to the people who would like to be able to inflate AND deflate the new heatshield.

Other than that, it`s a devnote. Until 1.1 breaks I can imagine the devnotes will be `we are STILL converting to unity 5, it`s taking ages, watch this space` which is as it should be although it does not make for riveting devnotes, hehe.

WOOOOOO! I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE UPDATE!!! Sorry...

I'm most curious about the weighted contract system and how that's going.  If it's up and running, any chance of seeing it released as an update before 1.1???  Please???  As an early Christmas present????

Remind me to like that tomorrow...

Thanks for the awesome soyuz interstage and fancy nosecone roverdude!

[Sanic]

I have to wait to get home to see the pictures.

The anticipation over the anticipated is real.

[cubinator]
