Just what I have heard from those in the know If this is the case I wouldn't expect much in regards to using the stock texture and mesh switching Well. There's the only real interest i had in moving to 1.4 gone. 1 hour ago, RoverDude said: That part module is already part of 1.4.0, and fully available for modders to take advantage of (like any other stock partmodule).

paploo Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 The new Mk 1-3 Pod is very pretty, and I do look forward to seeing it completed; however I do really miss a particular feature of the Mk 1-2 pod that completely changes it functionally: You see, the Mk 1-3 pod's ladder is centered, such that if it stands at the top of a lander, I can't put anything on the cardinal symmetry line under it—but the original Mk 1-2 pod offset its ladder to the side specifically to allow for this logistical problem. for example, I commonly use 2-fold radial symmetry, placing solar panels perpendicular on one set of cardinal direction sides, and monpropellent/batteries on the other, such that in the "Lock" view, my panels stick out beside me like wings, and monoprop tanks and batteries are up/down, perpendicular to the solar panels. With the new Mk 1-3 pod, I can't do this if I ever plan on using it as a lander, because I can't get the ladder to the ground without running into my tanks. Now, I'm not asking that the Mk 1-3 Pod be removed from the game, but it would be nice if the Mk 1-2 pod continued to be available and supported into the foreseeable future. This would allow people like me to continue easily building the designs that utilize it as a dual lander and re-entry capsule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechBFP Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 @paploo Why don’t you just rotate the pod in the editor? Problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had thought of that, but since the navball and locked view reference the command module by default, it would mean I'd be flying crooked compared to my usual visual references without doing some trickery. I could also try re-adjusting my designs to be more in-line with my "can" based landers, though I did find myself working harder to keep my ladder zone free with those. While not a huge deal, it is one of those little quality of life things that I'd rather not have to start fighting for no apparent reason.

Every change breaks somebody's workflow. You are quite literally the first person I've seen laud the old placement of the door. Other than it's too-high mass, that door was the only real reason I never used the pod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge improvement over the old stock ones, plus they gave different sizes for decouplers and separators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need to do is add a probe core or another pod facing the way you want it to and control from there. You could also just have it facing the right way and use a different crew capsule of cabin to EVA the Kerbals. I find it harder to use the ladders with the old one because you had to turn all the credit cabins in line. I bet you new that already. #USELESS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah the days of our Rockets looking like flying trash cans. :-) I remember how bare KSP was in early development. We do need more boosters IMO and I did not see anything about MH containing these. I know its easy to grab boosters from any pack, me personally, Im trying to get my mod count down. I need a dang index made for KSP with all the mods i end up with. I always start off, ok, Im not going to add all these mods again. I end up going back to where i started lol Edited March 9, 2018 by viperwolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhoenixSol Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 can someone link me to a good tutorial on how to make some custom tank textures? for example. i want to(when the dlc releases) make the 5m saturn tanks have the shuttle orange skin on it. and want to practice fiddling with it before hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR L A Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Yikes... I'm very 50/50 on this update. IMO it really needs some polish, specifically on the textures. We seem to have yet another set of non-matching textures to play around with. Yes, the new ones are quite nice, apart from the orange tanks don't seem to fit together properly (just the textures leave a weird gap), the large orange tank doesn't look great imo and the black and white tank textures really need rotating externally so the stripes match with cardinal points/axis w.e. Engine shrouds and the new decouplers (which are sexy compared to the old ones) also look weird next to the new white tanks. Can we have the same texture options for those too eventually please? Parts like nosecones and structural 1.25 to 2.5 cone also look bad placed on the new tanks I'm sure someone may have already mentioned this but I've not read all 15 pages, so my bad. Do love the Kerbal chutes though and the new pod is great for getting part count down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katateochi Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 btw guys, if you have 1.3.x (or older) craft on KerbalX, you can download a version which updates the part names to use the new versions. You then need to open that craft in KSP 1.4.0 and save it which will make KSP add any extra modules it needs. It just updates the command pod and fuel tanks, I didn't try to make it replace the decouplers as they have different sizes so that would result in weird part offsets in the craft. Go to you craft, click edit, and then near the bottom of the edit page click "Download with upgraded parts" (you can only do this for your own craft).
