[1.4.3]ALCOR,"Advanced Landing Capsule for Orbital Rendezvous" by ASET (08/02/2017)

[alexustas]

Any ideas?

RPM v 0.16?

[Casen]

Yeah, I found that eventually. .16 allows MechJeb to work. Now I just can't play anything due to RAM limits.....

So, here is a small presentation of another project

does this have to do with this????

looks amazing by the way

Shut up and take my nonexistent money!

yes, this is a further development of that idea

[sp1989]

Is there a development thread or are you not ready for that?

[Mecripp]

Can't wait your work is awesome

Holy crap. Your work doesn't cease to amaze me.

I have said before here

[Zeroignite]

Squad needs to hire you. Like I said, you're blowing the current assets out of the water.

[Zeroignite]

Postscript:

Ok, running out of power on the dark side of an orbit is right properly freaky

Love the detail of the cabin life support fans going dead.

Btw shrouded the alcor lander can into somewhat of a drop-pod shape complete with a heat shield: http://imgur.com/a/mMQ56

It's not perfect obviously, the bottom window is blocked and it looks a bit goofy merging an angular shape like the pod with a perfectly circular part, but I quite like it.

I need to know how you did this. I'm using Deadly Reentry so I have to use a heat shield and I can't figure out how to make it work/look as good.

Lysfen: strechytanks (from strechySRBs) at the time, but the mod is Procedural Parts now: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/70676-WIP-Procedural-Parts-The-next-phase-of-Stretchy-SRBs lets you add parts and tweak their dimensions using tweakables.

This looks really cool.

[OrbitalSolutionsLtd]

I have a suggest : you should maybe put the black side downwards to make it look a heatshield and the white side upwards to protect from the sunlight. That would maybe look more accurate, but it's my opinion. Great model by the way:)

So, um....how do we land that thing? More importantly how do we launch it?

he-he, this is a main challenge

I've make some test mission with full-size mockups of "KONQUEST" modules, and i can say it's not too easy but it's quite possible

Christ, that thing is huge.. Guess I'll have to get the 5m fairings from Novapunch.

[K3-Chris]

Naw just get the pFairings, much better and less hassle.

The "other project" looks sweet btw.

[BudgetHedgehog]

Nope. Unless the 5m fairings aren't big enough, I refuse to install PF. Nothing against it, I just prefer the challenge of restricted space. That, and PF can look ridiculous sometimes.

[Read have Read]

Wow, I love te modular internal design of the Konquest, but is it going to be inflatable in some way, like the Porkjet habs? I'd be okay with inflating each one individually.

[K3-Chris]

Nope. Unless the 5m fairings aren't big enough, I refuse to install PF. Nothing against it, I just prefer the challenge of restricted space. That, and PF can look ridiculous sometimes.

You can artificially restrict pFairings though, and you can adjust them if needed, they're generally a bit bigger than needed erring on the side of caution, can pull em back.

I agree however launching something massive like a pre-assembled space station with them in a fairing that looks like a ball is silly, but that doesn't really work with FAR anymore, you can't control something shaped like that, you end up flying backwards.

[alexustas]

... but that doesn't really work with FAR anymore, you can't control something shaped like that, you end up flying backwards.

hmm... I just brought this rocket into orbit with FAR
