Devnote Tuesdays: The Calm Before the Storm Edition

[Majorjim!]

do we know what is happening with the MK3 parts? did I miss it?

Coming in .26 me thinks matey.

[Javster]

If the word "hype" is in the update name I won't play KSP for a while.

I kinda got the impression the Learstar A1 "shuttle" craft file being included that HarvesteR mentioned was a nod at the MK3 parts, as those are KSP's "shuttle" parts. I may be wrong, though.

0.25  "Fine Print & Collateral Damage"

[Rowsdower]

Correct. Max confirmed that the MK3 parts didn't perform as well as hoped and would instead be seen in 0.26.

I think lit cockpits visible from the exterior is super cool. Even if the design kids forget exterior lights, manned capsules will be easier to see at night.

It is a nice polish, but I'd be really surprised (read: impressed) if Squad didn't just do this for the SP+ parts and the other windowed parts are left unlit.

[Pestilence]

I'm going for a simple name:

0.25 - Duck!

Ok Cool, as long as they haven't been scrapped all together. thanks for the info.

The Hypeplane Update?

[Megabulb25]

How about, KSP: Spaceplanes and 'Splosions

[Space_Kraken]

How about, KSP: Spaceplanes and 'Splosions

This is a fairly good name, and I will support it.

Why would the go to all the trouble of writing the module to support it and not use it but on 3 parts? I think you will be surprised. I'm betting at least the Mk1 will have them, but maybe the command pods too. I kinda doubt they would bother with the Mk3 prior to 0.26 though. Hopefully the science bay and hitchhiker will also get it, and even more important, the module is easily used in mods.

I'm not suggesting they'd build a module to support just 3 parts, I'm suggesting they're part features that came with the mod that porkjet already built:

As pretty as it is, I just don't see such a minor art-pass on all parts with windows to add similar polish right now. I hope I'm proven wrong.

[Alshain]

Oh I thought it was an emissive. Nevermind. Though I still think you might see them on the Mk1 since they knew about it in the new Mk2 when the were re-doing it.

Light up command pods in mods just use an existing animation module, nothing special or extra needed beyond making the emissive texture, a simple animation curve and the correct module to the config. The placeable lights already use this (otherwise you'd get light but the part itself would look turned off), and the engine heating effect is similar.

Very cool pic kasper.

KSP 0.25 - "No Quarter"

[Red Iron Crown]

The name is "Economic Boom". High res version of

is up.

[TMS]

Ah, that's a shame. Hangar Management was a winner.
