[1.8x - 1.11.x] Stockish Project Orion v1.8.2 [update 12/29/2020]

[SuicidalInsanity]

This has been finally updated. Since I've had little time to model recently, this is mainly a maintenance update to fix code issues and similar
v1.8.2 - Grab from SpaceDock | GitHub

ChangeLog:
-Code changes to eliminate memory leak
-Resource flow changed to stock model - no more messing with PAWs and fuel transfers
-Modulename changed to prevent issues with FFT's 'ModulePulseEngine' - This will cause existing Orion craft to throw a missing module error. Retire/Recover Orion-equipped vessels before installation
-RestockWhitelist updated to fix the command pod issue.
-Adds CTT integration

Some pics of my latest career mode project centered around this mod. I find it a very fun sidegrade to NFT and FFT,  riding on nuclear explosions never gets old

Hey, so I noticed something when trying out Extraplanetary Launchpads: both that mod and this one have metal and metal ore resources, except with very slight differences in naming. Is there any chance these can be merged (via renaming), or is it difficult to do?

Not sure if there is anyone else who will ever use this, but I wrote a Module Manager patch to make the Orion crew parts compatible with USI life support:

            Ratio = 0.525    // Amount of charge used per second for Habitation

    }
}
   

Tested it out in my career save and it has worked fine without needing any BEFORE/AFTER/FINAL syntax. Habitation times were set by figuring out the relative volumes of each compared to the stock Hitchhiker (and applying a little spherical cow math for the CH-8), and adjusting to match Hab time per cubic Kerbal meter. The recycler in the CH-8 is adjusted to be matched to the various USI greenhouses, 2 mediums or 1 large one will supply a fully occupied Space House indefinitely. Hopefully the patch is commented enough for someone to fine tune it for their own preferences.

I've added it to my save, where I'm using USILS on an Orion-powered mission. Thanks.

Still learning Principia, but this looks like it does not work with the mod. 

I see in the Principia FAQ this statement.  

Quote

Any mod that tries to move vessels or otherwise change orbits either (1) without using engines or (2) during time warp, is incompatible with Principia.

I take it that whatever method is used to provide the impulse here falls inside that.

Any updates? Those 10m parts looked awesome

It works fine for me. No problems whatsoever

Nice!
