Well Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 56 minutes ago, Quoniam Kerman said: Why depreciating the safe systems (escape towers?) I was beginning to use them in my JNSQ game since it becomes useful to have an ascape tower to avoid multiple "revert flights" that can overload the memory and make the game crash on such a huge mod... I know most people don't use them on stock scale, but still. RIP the IXV and co, it was a cute vehicle. For the 1.7.2 version of KSP, I'll wait for your 1.2 update just to know what will remain. Also, will your parts work the new stock inventory system? The IXV and other could have had some cargo space for those DLC Breaking Ground experiments... Safe system go with my lifting bodies, that why i've depreciate them, for know they still here, just hidden on the techtree and category, i just try to make my mod clean and coherent. I've expected some bad reaction about that. I suppose i've decided that without ask player. Problem like usual is i don't have many return and feedback with my mod, that really difficult to know. At least, make those part DEPRECATED made some person react.... For now that why i've decided, like i've said before, old Knes version are on spacedock, take the part you like and save them somewere. sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 I've started a poll about CEV & Lifting Bodies parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoniam Kerman Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 The escape tower also can be used for Viking you know or any 1.25m capsule for that matter. So I don't think that taking them away is that much of a good idea, the stock game doesn't include a great variety of escape systems apart from the bigger one that is obviously too powerful for small payloads...

StarStreak2109 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Looking good there. Probably need to edit the configs to allow for more passengers (wait, did Minotaur carry crew anyway or was it some sort of European Dragon capsule???), but other than that, it is close enough! You could probably replace the Antenna with a dual dish antenna from BDB to make it just a bit closer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably replace the Antenna with a dual dish antenna from BDB to make it just a bit closer! if i remember ETS alternate history just talk about a cargo minotaur capsule. That why i've actually named the small cargo variant "Minotaur" a little useless if you don't have KIS That a really nice variant @Cheesecake!

CobaltWolf Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I'd love a proper Minotaur, but @Well doesn't have to be the one to give it to us 5 hours ago, StarStreak2109 said: Looking good there.

You could probably replace the Antenna with a dual dish antenna from BDB to make it just a bit closer! It was one of those "we'll design an automated resupply vehicle that can provide downmass capability, which also conveniently lets us back door in the basis of a future crew vehicle if we can ever get the funding" type things. So yeah, think Dragon, the way TKS actually got used in real life, the ATV/CRV stuff, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About lifting bodies parts - i vote for keeping, but in new mod (or Knes add-on). Also may be you add the kerbalized Space Rider ? or Adeline ? Edited June 18, 2019 by Aerospacer add P.S.

But i don't hame so many empty place, so maybe just paint wire and stuff on the texture. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i still wait a little, but look like the poll said i'm probably going to keep Lifting bodies parts in the mod, No adeline, no spacerider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 LiftingBodies Lover win, CEV, IXV and Safe system part are going to be restored in Knes 1.2 (I still don't know what to do with them, they need a lot of work, i don't like them actually, so i'm going to work on those when i found the motivation for that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
