[WIP] Kass Effect

[Tessai]

Hey folks, a friend of mine (keiphy) and I have long been thinking about making a mod for KSP and I recently came up with an idea, so we present you with

The mod will allow Kerbals to discover the theoretical Kerbal Element Zero short KEEZO on Eeloo, mine it and use it in Kass Effect Drive Cores that reduce the connected vessel's mass by a factor depending on the current supplied to it.

After some discussion we have decided to use KSPI as a required mod to supply the drive core with enough current to make the drive core somewhat balanced.

Due to this using the OpenResourceSystem for resource management was a given.

Keiphy is working on the plugin proper, while I just finished the ORS stuff, making KEEZO mineable, and the KSPARP integration (just an icon really). As neither of us are any good at texturing and I am at best mediocre at low-poly modeling, we are looking for some talented help in that department.

Parts Needed

KEEZO Storage Tank (Radial and maybe Inline)

Kass Effect Drive Core

KEEZO Scanner

KEEZO Extraction Unit

Mod Dependencies

OpenResourceSystem

KSPI (Kass Effect Drive needs Megajoules)

Supported Mods

KSP Alternate Resource Panel

Sounds cool, maybe you could ask for some help from the creator of the KSP Interstellar mod.

Very interesting idea. I shall download and give it a try when you release this mod. Talking to Fractal_UK is a good idea - he can contact you with some very talanted modelers that did some of the KSPI parts.

Update: Plugin coding for the Drive Core is finished (mostly by me, with some help from Keiphy due to time issues). All parts besides the storage tank are working (via MM configs).

Future Plans: Find a Modeler/Texturer

Write a plugin that lets the KEEZO Containment Unit loose KEEZO while unpowered (much like KSPIs Helium Cryostat)

Start simple- make a simple placeholder for the core, then start the plugin that causes the spacial distortion effect.

Cool, when doen I take it.

To bad I know not how to make Models here, I can do 3D Models and Txtures, but not for this Engene.

Funnily enough im making my own version of a Mass Effect Feild Generator. Just without Eezo though. But a lot of electric charge.

If i wasn't busy and had more programming exp I would be on this totally.
