Revenant503 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Nice new Cygnus! To be frank' date=' I've only launched one or two probes/satellites since I first started playing KSP over a year ago. Just comes down to my preference of playing style. To me unmanned stuff lack the appeal, there are a few exceptions though.EDIT: Nice alternate texture. [/quote']That is my "go-to" probe core these days...its got a good battery, stunning comms under remote tech, a shape that lends itself to oodles of part attachments and isn't too heavy. Its not that it's unbalanced, just that its the exact right package to start hanging other stuff off of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it for upper trans stage's. Really nice core and actually really nice parts in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeguy868 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 The Libra lander engine spews out NullReference errors when I use it. I believe it may be related to the "FXModuleAnimateThrottle" module in the part config, given what I have seen in my output file and in-game.Appears in VAB:FXModuleAnimateThrottle: Could not find animation component - on part Libra.Engine.A failed to load!

I think I'm gonna build something with Cygnus core in the next KSP version, there are many possibilities as what to use it for (apart from delivering small supplies) like a small science gathering drone or a cryogenic container containing a live kerbal or a more grim example: Space coffin, send out your dead Kerbals in style!

Beale Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 There is an expanded version of Cygnus planned to be launched with round panels instead of rectangular ones. Would you consider making those? They would be great for old Orion like ships.http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Standard_Cygnus_vs_Enhanced_Cygnus.pngSorry I can't directly embed the image, phone interface is stupid.I do like these, but I would not have a single idea where to begin animating them! Perhaps when my IRL work quiet is down, I can experiment more (Alongside finally cracking down on Kliper/PPTS).That is my "go-to" probe core these days...its got a good battery, stunning comms under remote tech, a shape that lends itself to oodles of part attachments and isn't too heavy.

I love the new panels (currently I use Soyuz 1x2 panels on my 1.25m-scaled Cygnus for similar effect), as well as the cargo module texture!

Chadley123 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 The new pol looks excellent Beale, can't wait! However, since we've moved on to KIS, I am having an issue with the current Pol, as it doesn't seem to have an inventory making it's only use a fuel supply craft. Would this issue by chance be remedied by the next revamp of Pol? Many thanks, love your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T'Flok Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I myself don't do challenges. I'm not a competitive person at all, competition is quite alien to me. I could care less who wins what, I'm just playing KSP for Sci-Fi experience to get away from all this real-life nonsense.
