MOLE 1.23 is here- now with CKAN support! Thanks to JadeOfMaar: - Added BetterSRBs integration for Sledgehammer SRM. - Added experiment slot patch for Restock+ conical science box. - Fixed Raptium tuning in LFO engines (corvette, Hemi-Cuda, Fulcrum). - Fixed Sledgehammer SRM multimode behavior. - Fixed Sledgehammer SRM plumes behavior. - Fixed SRMFuel flow mode to make it respect staging.

Pathfinder 1.36.0 is here- now with CKAN support! Thanks to JadeOfMaar: - Added EPS Transformer to Arc Reactor. This down-converts ElectroPlasma to ElectricCharge in 1:6 ratio. - Removed resource ignore lists from (Castillo) Storage Depot so that resources added/used by LS mods can be tweakable in it. - Updated Sunburn Fusion Lab (CRP) template to have FusionPellets production from D-He3 and from H2O. - Updated Sunburn Fusion Lab (CRP) template's ISRU Chain (Coolant, Glykerol).

Buffalo 2.8.3 is here- now with CKAN support! - Moved MicroISRU to Wild Blue Tools.

DSEV 3.6.0 is here - now with CKAN support! 3.6.0 - Reduced D2 Centrifuge experiments to 4. - Updated the Advanced Construction Hangar to support the latest OSE Workshop. - Added Extraplanetary Launchpads support to the Advanced Construction Hangar. Thanks to JadeOfMaar - Deprecated RBCC Scimitar engine. - Fixed attach problems with radiators. - Rebalanced radiators to be more massive, more costly, more powerful, positioned aptly in CTT. - Updated (Increased) Glykerol capacity in cryo chambers. - Updated TweakScale config. - Updated plumes on WB-9 Hypernova, DMB0 Trinity, WB-7 Viper engines.

Here is 0.4.8: IMPORTANT NOTE: Remove the existing S-4 Gravitic Engine part from your mothership before installing this update! Gravitic Engines (A-51 & S-4) - Crazy Mode now has an enabled/disabled toggle and action group item. - Crazy Mode now responds to input from axis action groups (F/B, L/R, U/D). If you enable Crazy Cruise Mode then you won't have to hold down the translation buttons to continue moving. - Crazy Mode now honors the engine thrust percent setting. - Reduced Crazy Mode max speed and rebalanced Gravity Waves cost. On a single gravitic generator, craft can go about 75% max speed without depleting the GravityWaves. - You can now halt Crazy Mode by tapping on the brakes. - Added new Toggle Hover Mode action and Enable/Disable Hover Mode PAW button. - When Hover Mode is active and Crazy Mode is inactive, you can tap the up/down translation axis keys to increase or decrease vertical velocity. Tap the brakes to kill vertical velocity. - Removed previous Crazy Mode action group items. Parts - At last the mothership texture is shiny and metallic! This was the intent from the start but I had to wait for the technology to catch up. Once more parts are done I'll make a more traditional non-shiny texture option. - Removed plume effects and RCS from the S-4 Engineering Core. - Removed the old S-4 Gravitic Engine part. - Added new version of the S-4 Gravitic Engine that is based on the engineering core. This revamped part is similar to the Flapjack's gravitic engine. - Refactored the normal maps to support mip-mapping (makes bumpiness look better from a distance). Other - Added more name plate textures for additional motherships. *** I have more work to do on the plugin. Specifically, I need to figure out how to support multiple gravitic engines on the same craft that are running at the same time. Once that's sorted I'll be able to finish up the cockpit and begin working on new parts.

The KSP2 devs confirmed that there won't be FTL out of the box. There is modder interest *cough cough* in creating an FTL mod though...

@CptMayday Moved your question to this thread.

Thanks. When I started this project back in 2018, the mapped shader that makes the metal look possible wasn't around yet. But my intention has always been to give the saucers a polished metal look. Once I get more of the parts done, I'll look at a non-metallic texture alternative. Unfortunately the Mk-33 took a lot longer than expected...

Not dead yet! With the Mk-33 done, I'm applying what I learned to KFS... Right now I'm assessing where I left off- hence the central engineering core isn't redone yet.

Chapter 8 Finally finished my Mk-33 mod, so it’s time to finish up this intermission mission report… Project Space Station Phase One flew astronauts to Skybase via Shuttle Launch System. Phase Two involved launching the core components of the Kerbin Orbiting Station to reach Initial Operating Capability. Phase Three kicked off with the launch of SLS-14 and with few exceptions, it did not stop until the station was completed. Approximately every thirty days, a Shuttle launched to the station, completed its mission, and then returned for a 100-day turnaround time- 60-days turned out to not be enough for complete refurbishment and it caused unexpected wear and tear on the orbiters. Spirit started off the launch cadence when it brought up the port and starboard Truss 1 segments along with several Buckboards intended to store reserve propellants for visiting Shuttles. SLS-15 through SLS-18 launched the port and starboard Truss 2 and Truss 3 segments along with additional Buckboards. SLS-19 delivered the Soprano Storage Node, and the station crew took the opportunity to move the KRV to its permanent berth. SLS-20 delivered the Quantum Leap airlock while SLS-21 launched the Tranquility Habitat Module along with the station’s first full crew complement: Philidas (CDR), Gerrim (ENG), Santrey (SCI), Munlorf (SCI), Seanner (SCI). SLS-22 fielded the Midlands Hydroponics Module. It was a laboratory to test growing crops in space. If successful, it would help extend food supplies on long voyages. SLS-23 took a break from space station assembly to deliver the Eve Surveyor probe into orbit. It was a copy of Duna Surveyor, but it had the new PAM-C Payload Assist Module. Since the Shuttle could not carry a fully fueled PAM-C, Mariner briefly stopped off at KOS to top off the PAM’s fuel tank before departing and deploying the probe. It left Kerbin orbit a few days later. SLS-24 Continued the break when it brought the Jool Surveyor probe into orbit- this time, rendezvousing with L5US-3. As part of the cooperative agreement, the Ministry of Space refueled the old upper stage for one last mission. They also had an extra ATV waiting to refuel the PAM-C after Freedom docked the probe and L5US together. With its tanks topped off, Jool Surveyor departed Kerbin orbit right on time. SLS-25 delivered the Vista module, which completed the Kerman States Orbital Segment, while SLS-26 brought the Beagle Support Module and the Faraday Supply Module, and SLS-27 introduced the Shuttle-delivered Multipurpose Logistics Module along with a partial station crew rotation. Then KSC took another brief pause to launch the Lindor Surveyor on SLS-28, which sent L5US-4 on one last mission, and the Kerbin Surveyor on SLS-29. Finally, KSP celebrated SLS-30, which delivered Newton, the final element of the Kerbin Orbital Station into orbit. *** After Spirit departed and landed, the Ministry of Space launched the Arrow Crew Vehicle, their first crewed spacecraft. Carrying two McKerman astronauts, ACV-1 completed Starlab’s full crew complement. In fact, with regular flights, Arrow Crew Vehicles could increase the station’s crew capacity to 8... *** 94 days later, Eve Surveyor entered a 297.5 km by 18,430.1 km polar orbit- just minutes before the probe lost contact with KSC as it rounded the planet. After it regained contact, the probe transmitted the first images of the clouded planet- the probe even detected lightning! Eve Surveyor began its radar and lidar survey of the planet’s surface. Without the propellant to circularize its orbit, it would take months to complete its map… ----- Author's Note: I've wanted to build Starlab for a long time, and I finally got to do it. Here's the original Starlab from 2013: It was built largely from the Kerbin Shuttle Orbiter System's shuttle and station parts mod, along with a core module from my old Multipurpose Colony Modules mod (the precursor to Pathfinder). After SLS-30, I tried to recreate the above image using Starlab 2020: The angle is a bit off, but then again this new station is a massive upgrade from the original. These parts all come from DSEV, Restock, Breaking Ground Mini Mods, and of course SOCK. The station arm proved to be tremendously helpful!

Take a look at the Extras folder, it has a patch made for hydrolox. I’ll look into it. Meanwhile you can use the stock radially node: https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/BZ-52_Radial_Attachment_Point My understanding of flight control surfaces is that node attaching them messes with the symmetry and control. @JadeOfMaar knows about this better than I.

I've seen that with stock servos too...

Done. I have more missions coming up so I'll gather more data for you.

Will do, thank you.

And once more.. ################################################################################ checking vessel Starlab checking node wbiMk2DockingPort-1311795444 "Ready" checking node

I'm unable to undock the arm or PDGF without using KML to reset the ports. It happens frequently for me.

Ok, here's what happens: My station arm has latched onto the PDGF after I undocked the module from the shuttle.

@peteletroll I run into docking issues a lot when I use the KerboArm from Shuttle Orbiter Construction Kit to grab the grapple pins on my spacecraft. Prior versions of DockRotate reported the error but couldn't fix it, and no doubt it's a very tricky problem, so thank you much for your continued development and improvements of your mod to help alleviate the frustrations we all go through. Also, Dock Rotate is perfect for rotating the Mk-33's strongback from horizontal to vertical: This mod is an essential must-have in my game.

Mk-33 should be on CKAN soon, and it's now available on Spacedock.

That's an oops. Both the microPort and the end effector should use PDGF as their nodeType. I'll fix that in the next couple of days, perhaps this evening if I have time.

No worries! Having an X-33-like mod in KSP is something I wanted for years, and I'm happy to share this with others.

Looks great @Clamp-o-Tron, thanks for sharing!

I finished the last bits of my Mk-33 mod: You can find it here:

At long last, the Mk-33 1.0 release is here! This has been ten plus months in the making. I'll reiterate from the OP: Special Thanks to: @benjee10, @cineboxandrew, @JadeOfMaar, @Nertea, @Porkjet, @damon, @Zorg, @Jay The Amazing Toaster and many others for their advice, feedback, inspiration, and tweaks. And thanks to all of you for taking a look!
