linuxgurugamer 17,505 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) This is a continuation of the excellent K2 Command pod, made by @jfjohnny5, updated for 1.2.2. The original thread is here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/94581-* K2 Command Pod version 1.4 This mod adds a single part, the K2 Command Pod. This pod supports 2 Kerbals (but only requires 1 - making it handy for rescue missions). This allows you to send pilots and engineers/scientists on missions together, prior to unlocking the Mk 1-2 pod. The K2 pod unlocks with the Flight Control tech. It is balanced to encourage a good base of initial single-Kerbal missions before stepping up to two-Kerbal missions, where you can start training your engineers and scientists to prep for larger missions in the future. Features Support for 2 Kerbals (min. 1) Fully functional IVA Stock-alike style inspired by the Gemini capsule 1.25m size with a top 0.625m node Balanced to fit between the stock 1- and 3-Kerbal pods Module Manager configs (included) support TAC Life Support and Connected Living Spaces right out of the box Download SpaceDock: http://spacedock.info/mod/1163/K2 Command Pod Continued Source:https://github.com/linuxgurugamer/K2_Command_Pod License: CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0 https://www.patreon.com/linuxgurugamer Edited March 19, 2018 by linuxgurugamer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stratickus 46 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Congrats. I for one am glad you picked this up. I use VSR as well, so the K2 fits nicely between the stock Mk 1 and Ven's 2 seat Mk2 VA pod. Cheers, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tyko 2,405 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Awesome! Thanks for taking this on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murdabenne 319 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Thank you thank you thank you! This is my favorite 2 man pod - its the only one for a 1.25 and allows for early Gemini style missions (I like trying to recreate the Agena mission) with otherwise stock game. And they are great for rescue missions without having to throw probe cores and other junk at them. Edited January 17, 2017 by Murdabenne Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linuxgurugamer 17,505 Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 New release: 1.1.6 Add support for Community Tech Tree -When Community Tech Tree is installed, the K2 Command Pod will be placed under the Simple Command Modules tech tree node. thanks @JonDahm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SmarterThanMe 160 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Someone posted an RPM patch at some point... Has anyone seen it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xel'lotath 0 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) I'm having what seems to be a compatibility issue with K2 and RealFuels. You can see in this screenshot http://imgur.com/a/Y0WLr that the pod will only take a very limited range of supplies. Compare that to the Mk I pod: http://imgur.com/a/xnGeh. How do I get the full range of options? Also, the volume of stuff that you can store in the K2 seems very low - is there any way to edit it? Any help would be much appreciated.

linuxgurugamer 17,505 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 I'm a bit puzzled, did you install something to have the Mk1 pod take more supplies? I looked at RF, and don't see anything referencing that part. and what is the "Non Rp-0 coming from? Also, re. the amount of supplies, keep in mind it's a narrow pod for 2 kerbals. You really need to add a service module (ie: tanks) to it. I've asked for help in the RealFuels thread Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You really need to add a service module (ie: tanks) to it. I've asked for help in the RealFuels thread I haven't done anything to the Mk 1 pod specifically. I'm just using Realism Overhaul and its associated mods. Is the K2 usually compatible with RP-0? I don't know what I might have done to disrupt that. I have found that every other command module designated 'non RP-0' has the same problem with the RealFuels UI, so that might be the key. I see what you mean about the low storage capacity. But for future reference, is there a way I can edit it? Thanks for your time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linuxgurugamer 17,505 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 It seems that you have installed the RSS/RO/RP-0 suite of mods but this mod is not supported by them (it is getting a generic RF support but has improper RO support). I suggest you contact them re. that support. About the RealFuels, I got some help from the RF thread, I'll see if I can get it taken care of this evening Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just tried it last night - everything great (perfect stock-alike IVA) but it was in the Command Modules tech, along with the Mk1-2 pod. The current download from SpaceDock indeed says "TechRequired = commandModules." I changed my cfg to flightControl, agree that's the right place for it. I see the CTT tech is "simpleCommandModules" which seems great. Last thing - the Mk1 command pod costs 1866 in career. Mk1-2 costs 9598. K2 costs... 11332? Or am I mixed up seeing the entry cost + individual cost combined? The numbers I see in the cfg seem OK, 5000 per pod Edited February 10, 2017 by fourfa Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linuxgurugamer 17,505 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Where are you seeing those costs? Career, sandbox, science? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fourfa 1,319 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Career, sandbox, science all show the same. I take it you don't see the same? Odd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

linuxgurugamer 17,505 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 So I just looked, the cost is correct at 5000. You may have another mod installed which is changing the cost. New release: 1.1.8 Changed required tech to flightControl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meridius 13 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I absolutely love this pod. Thank you for carrying this forward and maintaining it. Anyway to add some contracts with this? Been fiddling around some since Gemini conducted numerous missions that expanded science (somewhere in the archives there is the Kemini mod that added some science).
