Custom configs and pruners for: RemoteTech, Ven's, JX2 (optimized for OPM), ProbesPlus, DMagic and SCANSAT

DDE · August 14, 2017

My aim was to provide for a coherent system of comms under SCANSAT, and to provide for a set of visually tolerable science parts while eliminating the ugly or impractical ones and the Probes+ historical bling. I've also boosted P+'s RTGs, axed quite a few redundant Ven parts, refitted the aerospike to its old modded appearance (which may require parts and models from an older version of Ven's overhaul), rewrote Ven's Radial Avionics Hub to be a probe core, and included an improvised fix to an old part issue.

I hereby declare them public domain, and probably crap because of my bizarre tastes; do with them what you wish.

You can release these in Add-on Releases as a MM balancing pack for Ven's and SCANSAT.

DDE · August 15, 2017

@Benjamin Kerman, TBH it's too much of a mess. It's a good start, but it's really specific to a set of mods, including OPM. Might iron it out if a senpai notices me, but for now just sharing something I've wasted a week on slapping together, totally not fishing for compliments.
