drtedastro Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Can you imagine the smell of bacon that will be permeating from KSP, as we go through a new batch of 'test piglets / pilots'. Great flight,Great crash,Great BLT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little square dot Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Great mind think alike...ish... admittedly mine are welds and probably won't look half as tasty, but we made many of the same parts, ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptRobau Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Having a lot of fun with the parts. I am missing a half-length version of the fuel tanks though. Sometimes you just need something a little bit smaller for your designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkjet Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Yes, it might be good to have one, however, I see this mk2 system as a medium sized spaceplane thing for 15t-20t or heavier planes and for these, the big fuel tanks are all you'll need. If you wanna go smaller and lighter, the mk1 system should be used. Theres only a few cases where I personally wished for a shorter tank version such as radial attached tanks. You can also use a small cargobay and put a rocket fuel tank in it.Or what do you think?Guess I will make a short one sooner or later, but the part request list is pretty long and I wanna avoid the so called 'part bloat' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regex Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'll cast my vote for a half-length tank but that's really only because this game needs more of your parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm loving the cockpit and the shock cones are marvelous, but I'm obtaining orbit with too little fuel and too much oxidizer. I'd rather not play too much with tweakables. I tend to add outboard LFO tanks to both give me places to mount air intakes, and to keep the CoM where it should be. If my 25 ton spaceplane could be a 20 ton spaceplane, I could ditch the extra oxidizer...However: I'm with you on the "part bloat." Let's keep the number of parts modest. So don't consider mine a firm request. It would be awesome, certainly. If you do it, I'd be happy. If you don't, I won't mind. Still, this is a fabulous mod. Can't wait to see the IVAs, which, given your habitat work, will also be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptRobau Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 The advantage of a half-sized fuel tank would be that they would allow you to create full-length parts out of two half-length parts, such as the small cargo bay or the stubby adapter. Without a half-length fuel tank the smaller ones annoyingly stick out in certain situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royying Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Could you add one more hatch/ window on the next side of the MK2 cockpit?I love symmetric XDAlso, could you make a MK2 inline docking port like the stock MK1 version?

DevL Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Just wanted to surface again and thank you Porkjet for these excellent models. I tend to remove the lift, but other than that I'm only really missing an inline docking port (and maybe a Mk2 style SAS unit). For now, I use the small cargo bay combined with acstock inline docking port to get the desired effect. The upside of that method is that I can also hide RTGs, batteries, extra RCS, additional fuel, and solar panels. The downside is that there's not quite as much clearence when deploying the cargo bay and the stock inline port. It works well enough though.So, once again, cheers and many thanks!

Prime flux Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 That makes me wish we had extending docking ports, like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Passive_and_active_NDS..png/300px-Passive_and_active_NDS..pngThat docking port is only extended when it capture the other object (right picture). After the capture, the docking ring is pulled back and seal itself, like the picture to the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaverickSawyer Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 OK, possible issue...I just added the latest update to the Spaceplane+ pack, and now I can't add an inline docking port to the cargo bays or attach it to any nodes of the SP+ pack. It still surface attaches just fine. This is only occurring with the new pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erkha343 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 After the ARM update I can't seem to open or close the cargo bay of the Mk2 extension pack. Not in-game or in SPH/VAB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in-game or in SPH/VAB.Either you're missing the Firespitter plugin (FSAnimateGeneric to be precise) or the Firespitter plugin is not compatible with 0.23.5. (which probably just means it needs recompiling for 0.23.5)Yup that's it. You just need the Firespitter plugin and you're Good To Go. Works fine in 0.23.5 Edited April 2, 2014 by Starwaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
