kahlzun Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I'd like to second the 'action group' request, sometimes I don't want every lifting envelope on the ship inflating.Here are some 'eve ascent' pics:ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO-CIRRUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooligan Labs Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Here are some 'eve ascent' pics:Cooooooooool.I did start reworking the plugin a bit. I'll note the ability to prevent certain envelopes from inflating. No ETA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooligan Labs Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 The Party Starter has been updated on Kerbal Space Port. You can now drag the folder right in and it should work like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkeyPaw Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 My Duna Base!The first base I successfully landed on Duna, thanks for the suggestion to use the Cirrus, Hooligan, was able to land it on my first try after a small redesign.Weigns roughly 10 tons and can relocate with the help of the RCS.

Mihara Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Some work in progress. I call it DERP -- Duna Explorer Reusable Prototype. Gets better bang for the delta V than my usual 2-nuke lander, actually, now if I can also get it to mine kethane and land horizontally on Ike...

wasmic Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Hmm, the Cirrus might enable me to get that gi-normous spherical fuel tank that weighs 200 tons when full into orbit. The cirrus, good sir, is pure awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooligan Labs Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Some work in progress. I call it DERP -- Duna Explorer Reusable Prototype. My Duna Base!So much awesome! I love the designs, and that Duna is finally explorable with something decent looking.Hmm, the Cirrus might enable me to get that gi-normous spherical fuel tank that weighs 200 tons when full into orbit. The cirrus, good sir, is pure awesome.Technically it weighs nothing while in orbit. But let's see, you filled it while it was expanded you would have 8x the volume of a orange tank. Since I just found on the wiki that an orange tank weighs 36 tons full with 4 tons of that being steel, you could fit 256 tons of liquid fuel plus oxidizer in it. Total tonnage would be approximately... 256.4 tons? Since you would have something inside of it you wouldn't need to power the artificial muscle to hold the shape. Heck, you could program the plugin to have it shrink in size as fuel was spent. Did SQUID not get an update? or am I doing something wrong.....Updated it for you! Try it out. http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/squid-paramagnetic-force-system/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taniwha Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 The KSC observation blimp with 205.5t ballast In IRC, I said to Hooligan Labs that one cirrus was enough to float 205t at 8km. I think that was for 4 cirrus around the sides of the tank. Still, that's one mean party balloon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWeasel Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Do you have any spherical balloons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catullus Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 It's still downloading HL_SQUID_1_3_1.zip, even though the description in Spaceport says 1.3.2. I tried it with a browser that had never been to Spaceport so it's probably not because of this end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasmic Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Yeah, it would be nice with spherical balloons in the graphical style of either the cirrus or the una/ray balloons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, elephants should be in KSP.Do you have any spherical balloons?No, but if you have something spherical you can apply my plugin to it. Just copy from the .cfg file for one of the rigid balloons and adjust to its size.It's still downloading HL_SQUID_1_3_1.zip, even though the description in Spaceport says 1.3.2. I tried it with a browser that had never been to Spaceport so it's probably not because of this end.I probably should not have tried to upload that while I was dead tired last night. I uploaded it again, and downloaded it, it should be 1.3.2 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooligan Labs Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 awesome, thanks fellas, hope I can find em/get em working...seems it would be kinda nice to not be held back by the size of the buildingsSomeone should make an airship hangar mod. Still striving away on the plugin update. It looks like this right now.That hovering hologram thing represents the vectors that I am working on. They are colored as follows:Red - Center of Mass to Envelope PositionGreen - Position Projected onto Ground Normal PlaneBlue - Control Vector (goal is to make it point up)Magenta - Control Projected onto Ground Normal PlaneWhite - GravityMy theory, in general, is that when everything is working right I will be able to take the dot product of the projected correction vector with the projected position vector and get the amount of additional buoyancy needed to stabilize each envelope.There are some issues... vessel.transform.forward apparently points cockpit down! That will be easy to flip over. Also, the projected position vector does not seem to be working properly at all yet. But this is progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
