Why are there no Mk2 nose cones?


Recommended Posts

There is also no Mk2 decoupler, battery or command core (doh!) SAS unit at the moment but I'm pretty relaxed about it, knowing that all the parts (and especially the 'plane' ones) are still being updated. Especially looking forward to seeing some Mk3 things that are useful, as well.

Yeah, can't wait for Mk. 3 parts especially. The Mk.2 planes are great for crew transfer and small cargo loads, but I'd love to send up station parts in a re-useable vehicle.

Or transport a TON of kerbals.

As said elsewhere: if MK3 bays become large enough for 2.5m modules, they will be so big that Kerbodyne engines and tanks will seem to be quite ...well, not small, but they won't appear to be exceptionally large anymore, either.

Eyup. Bigger landing gear is on the top of my list, personally. Right now they always seem too short, so when I nose up with my big SSTO's it is really hard to avoid tail or engine strikes.

I do love the way that the cargo bays work, though, with the ghost nodes. Could we have that in the big hollow Kerbodyne adapters? It would be good for engines and whatnot, plus storing miscellaneous parts or probes. (We would need to get rid of the structural bits on the ends of the parts, make it just a truncated cone with the caps missing.)

I generally use an empty, (or full, depending on the case), MK2 to MK1 adapter and a nose cone/docking port/claw as an MK2 nose cone.

(Heyo, 1000 posts! :D)

Old thread, but still relevant and not outdated.

Anything coming down the pipe? I dont like how unrefined using the mk2 to 1.25 adapter  with a standard rocket nose looks.

Don't expect Squad to finish a part lineup. There is the MK2 expansion mod
