benjee10 4,039 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) HabTech2 | V0.2.5 | ISS Parts for KSP Had it with HitchHikers? Sick of Science Labs? HabTech provides only highest-quality pressurised tin cans space station modules for use in constructing your ultimate habitable structure in Kerbin orbit. My total revamp of HabTech is still in its early stages, but you can download a stable release below, which features all of the main pressurised components of the US Orbital Section of the ISS! The cover image features parts from Restock and Tantares (which is essential to build the Russian segment of the ISS). SPACEDOCK GITHUB Dependencies: B9PartSwitch & Community Resource Pack (bundled with the mod) Frequently Asked Questions Q. Does HabTech2 replace HabTech? A. No. HabTech2 exists in a separate folder in the GameData directory, meaning it won't break any existing craft files. Q. Where did all the parts from OG HabTech go? A. HabTech2 is a total remake from the ground up. I've progressed a lot as an artist and a mod-maker in the three years since I first embarked on HabTech, and so many of the parts from the original need to be changed too much to fit a simple drop-in replacement model. The HabTech2 project is ongoing, and hopefully with time you will see replacements for all your favourite parts coming back. Q. Will you be adding X part? A. Maybe. My core goal is to replicate every pressurised module on the US segment as well as the truss structure and external science experiments. As a stretch goal I'm going to be including cancelled modules and modules from Space Station Freedom, and possibly from alternate timelines such as Eyes Turned Skywards. Q. What about the Russian bits? A. Beale has you covered. Q. I want the old HabTech back! A. You can download the Legacy Version.

Dafni 1,157 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Nice idea and perfect execution, will definitely test it when you release something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kowgan 474 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Indeed, that's looking really great! I've been wanting new habitat parts, and this fits just on my needs! Great job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
curtquarquesso 903 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Wow! Really neat! Love the Cygnus-type module. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VenomousRequiem 1,324 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Looking good once again, bruh. I hope optimizing your textures well! I'd love to see your interpretation of the PMA/APAS/CBM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjee10 4,039 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) Cheers for the comments everyone! Bit of progress: Shorter hab/logistics module (based on the Kibo logistics module) along with a CBM: Still working on getting the normal textures to look right. Might skip normals entirely since not many stock parts have them. Thoughts? WIP airlock (textures very WIP): Edited March 6, 2016 by benjee10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

legoclone09 2,364 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Love these! But maybe you could make the crew doors/attach nodes the grey (gray?) from the Mk1 Crew Cabin hatch, the grey with the hatch on it instead of these heavylifting plane look-alikes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have mixed feelings about IVAa. I rarely use them in gameplay, and I have known them have a huge hit on RAM use. I suspect the worst case I came across used far too much detail in textures and mesh. I think I would wait and see what v1.1 works out like. But I would prefer having an option for a very simple IVA. It isn't so hard to delete the IVA from the cfg-file, but not having the option in the Mod can be a nuisance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benjee10 4,039 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Alpha download link is up! Early dev so let me know anything you think needs changing. Currently supports USI LS. Features features six parts: 6-way node Short logistics module Long lab Airlock Cygnus trunk segment CBM docking port As for IVAs, currently just using the placeholder one but given the cutaway views coming in 1.1 I will be creating IVAs at some point.

Gryphorim 61 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 This looks real sharp! One thing though, I don't feel as though the unity-style module should be a crew hab module. Real unity is mostly for interconnection and logistics isn't it? I say just give it ample battery and RCS or torque, and move habitat to a new module. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RaendyLeBeau 671 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) great design mate ! awesome and stylish perfect mod with delicious textures. - the Cygnus segment is beautiful. Edited March 29, 2016 by RaendyLeBeau Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I say just give it ample battery and RCS or torque, and move habitat to a new module. I believe that some of the nodes on the ISS (if not Unity itself) do have sleeping quarters in them, and since that part is meant to be able to be used for all of them, I thought I'd better give it appropriate crew capacity. I think that USI bases its habitability time on crew capacity, though I'm still trying to figure that out (I'm getting some NaNs at the moment). Cheers for the feedback everyone. Let me know how you think the parts feel in game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjee10 4,039 Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Couple of dev shots of the Z1 truss part. This is the bit of the ISS which controls attitude using four reaction wheels in the back. In real life this module has only one crew accessible hatch (the other is purely structural) but I'm going to give it two so you can use it as a truss/crew adapter thing if you want. Will have some hefty torque but come at a price in terms of EC usage. Probably will have monoprop storage as well. Width is 2.5m. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
