    My issue with the barn is that it presents a HUGE contrast with the stock parts. The textures, style, and very idea all conflict with the clean, professional, and modern look of the stock parts in a way that makes the complex seem illogical: If these kerbals can build those rocket engines with such precision, then why can't they also build a flippin' office building? EDIT: My idea for an early tech KSC would be a complex that is very clearly temporary: a set of cranes instead of a VAB, a concrete pad with a fueling structure for a launch pad, scattered quonset huts for buildings, and a radio tower for a tracking station,

    This looks pretty darn good.

    well, that IVA isn't too bad itself! EDIT: This picture(http://i.imgur.com/TCoACFr.jpg) should provide a better reference for the docking area. EDIT2: also this: http://i.imgur.com/0uWg712.png

    the only flaw I see is that the surface textures of the docking area modules are actually more like those of Tranquility Node on the ISS. However, the shape and dimensions are right.

    So, will we be able to make the Liberty Ship?: http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/surfaceorbit.php#id--GCNR_Liberty_Ship

    There were actually four ways to launch it in the original proposal: Minimum: just the capsule and propulsion Standard(1): Apollo style Standard(2): Soyuz style Economy: Minimum, but with a sattelite underneath.

    Is there a version of this that works with .90?
  8. billbobjebkirk
    Also, for the next update, could you make a longer pressurized crew module for the FGB? I'm not a fan of having to stack two modules for a crew only TKS.

    I would like to see more planets, more in-depth planetary science, and more exciting terrain on other planets. for example look at these images(http://mars.nasa.gov/mer/gallery/images.html) from the Spirit and Opportunity rovers. That's the kind of stuff I'd like to see. For science, I'd like to see stuff that encourages sample analysis and return, and would encourage building rovers or hoppers to look at multiple sites. EDIT: of course, these are just things I'd like to have. My real request would be to finish up things like IVAs, art assets, and planets

    I mean the cargo lander, not the Ranger.
  11. billbobjebkirk
    This may be a little off topic, but I'd like to get a papercraft model of the Lander. the kerbalized version posted here will do just fine, as long as it has the engines.
  12. billbobjebkirk
    Are you sure you're using the latest version?
  13. billbobjebkirk
    by the way, could I get a beta for that apollo capsule?
  14. billbobjebkirk
    Remember guys, the last two letters in the name stand for Operations Concept. they're just going over the idea to see if it can be done.
  15. billbobjebkirk
    Sounds like you've experienced a nullref.
  16. billbobjebkirk
    maybe you could use the current design with a different IVA as a pod for horizontal landers, like this one:http://www.nss.org/settlement/moon/images/lunox07.jpg I know for sure that I really like the way those plane parts are. they're very distinctive.
  17. billbobjebkirk
    not sure how much this will help, but here is one of the sources: http://spirit.as.utexas.edu/~fiso/telecon/Raftery_5-14-14/ and this might work: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz2xKY6gsft4bW1sMFVtR1RjVHc/view?usp=sharing

    the Lazarus pod: http://www.wired.com/2014/11/absolute-zero/ EDIT: Also, maybe the robots could be SCOT, KURT, and MACY (for the spoiler ship, after all, it would be oddly fitting)
  19. billbobjebkirk
    the Lazarus pods and the Future Rangers?
  20. billbobjebkirk
    well, the PPTS and crewed ATV capsules aren't all that dissimilar in shape, other than the window on the PPTS. The interiors are... comparable... but not really: http://news.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/spl/hi/pop_ups/08/sci_nat_enl_1211927654/img/1.jpg http://www.russianspaceweb.com/images/spacecraft/manned/ptk_np/2013/maks/flight_controls_1.jpg
  21. billbobjebkirk
    Alternatively, you could make one set of textures that could be the CARV and a more elongated conical capsule like this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7419793.stm EDIT: also, high res CARV: http://www.flashespace.com/icones/mars08/atv/evolution/01g.jpg

    Artistic license, my friend. Artistic License
  23. billbobjebkirk
    Maybe the CARV? or aternate MSS engine? or PARES?

    There's another law that KSP players have broken innumerable times: In order to keep a manned space program safe, economical, and effective, you must do three things: 1) Don't develop any new launch vehicles 2) Don't develop any new launch vehicles And 3) Whatever you do, Don't develop any new launch vehicles
