KSP Loading... Preview: New Solar Panels


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

4 brand new photovoltaic panels are arriving at the KSC in the upcoming 1.12 PC update, including enhanced versions of the SP and OX-4 series, but also two large circular retractable solar panels to let your craft travel in the vacuum of space with style! Check them out!

the round one is nice to build RL ships

1)why the have handles, thought the open automatic (ok looking good)

2)0.57m and 0.43m  feels a little thick,compaired to the non protected

3)a detail like the cabel on the back is missing at least for me ( a blue and a red would be cool)for the engineers

4) if u guys seperate the box (with a node)and make a node on the end (of the solar panels)we could use it to protect (reentry)other stuff like science stuff or BATTERIES little hint 4 what i want next to revamp

5)at least i see not much difference to the old one(first) did u guys not think some other parts need ur love for a long time ,sry once moar

The new panels look great! They remind me of Near Future Solar.

Will the old OX and SP panels be revamped to match the new panels?

Edit: Apparently they are getting revamped, I didn't read the post correctly.

Cool as that is, it's way out of alignment with stock and is also much too intricate for such a small part.

Where is that from?

Wow those look really nice! Just trying to clarify, these are in addition to the solar panels already in game I assume.. are all solar panels going to get a remake or are these just being added to it? @KSPStar

I figure the Gigantor will get an update as well as the statics

 It’s the second thing they’ve revealed. Give it a week or two. I find it VERY unlikely that they won’t redo Pol. 

I'm worried they'll remove it. but Il wait

that would be nice if it happens! Maybe those slightly ajar closed doors will be closed soon? LoL

Will Gigantors be getting an update? Or more massive solar arrays?

Speaking of electronics, is there hope for a mid-game RTG? Nothing powerful, it can be super inefficient but come mid-game tech-tree to serve as backup power supply for distant probes.
