CobaltWolf Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) I say everything should be rescaled to be more accurate. Preferably before Beale moves on to other projects. Like N1. Edited September 4, 2016 by CobaltWolf i said F1 instead of N1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably a good idea, 100 EC and 3 units of torque is quite powerful for the small capsule. When I have time (probably not for another week or two) to work on the next rev of SSP, I plan to give the Soyuz capsule 10 electricity, no SAS, and only 1 torque. The idea being that you'll need to line up your re-entry before jettisoning the other modules (just like the real thing) and also as a reason gameplay-wise to bring the Orbital Module along. I may also add SAS to the LK rcs/control block (that goes on top) so you can make a convincing Zond using it with the Soyuz pod. (btw would still LOVE to see a set of solar panels with the forward-facing antennas - probably the ones that don't auto-rotate) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biohazard15 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Haven't played KSP for quite some time and decided to try it again... ...aaand apparently there's another Soyuz revamp. That would be what, 5th or 6th time? Oh well... Anything craft-breaking coming? Can I use Tantares in my career and NOT get a sudden "Sorry, you need to scrap half of your ships because this particular thingie you loved to use is 0.00001mm smaller and thus incopatible"?

Version 6! I would not be so gloomy, very little has been broken by revamp in a long time, the Soyuz is no exception. All sizes are now "perfect" (or close enough). By the way, size changes should never break craft so much, only name changes will cause craft fail to load Edited September 4, 2016 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this way, if nose itch and you can't reach it, fellow cosmonaut can scratch for you! 2 I suppose there could be worse team-building exercises...

Bomoo Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 On 9/2/2016 at 11:53 PM, Doc Shaftoe said: I'm well aware that the actual Soyuz doesn't have solar-tracking panels. Even if I were to mount the fixed variant in the proper orientation, my point would still be valid. The fairing would be unnecessarily wide given how far the panels would stick out from the hull. Either way though, this is a fictional super Soyuz used by little green men (and women) so it doesn't really matter. Yes, they would be wider than the real Soyuz, but less wide than mounting them like in that picture. You could also disable sun tracking on solar arrays with, if I'm not mistaken, Tweakable Everything for a more authentic Soyuz build.

Beale Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) A couple of parts available in-game, docking ports and engine. The docking port animation is currently purely cosmetic, but I am looking into fixing that. I need to now figure emissives in Unity 5. Pointers appreciated.

hraban Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) @Beale, do it like Lego and make one Nozzle and one Base with 5 connection points. so you have only 2 parts and all posibilities ok, you need a new bulkhead profile with XXS size Edited September 5, 2016 by hraban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
