[What did you do in KSP1 today?]

Today I landed an orbital rocket stage for the first time

 

Hit me up if you need tips, SpaceX.

It would be cool if you could purchase water launch/landing pads in career mode. Maybe 1 million kerbucks to place one, anywhere on water that you want.

@Aleksey Pschenichnikov it works but causes this terrifying bug: 

 

And yes, it will be updated to 1.3 in the future.

@TheRagingIrishman thank you very much!

[[1.3 - 1.2.2] Collision FX v4.0 (2017-03-09) Now with biome coloured dust!]

@pizzaoverhead It turns out it was another mod that I hadn't updated causing issues- sorry!

[[1.4.5] Smart Actuators v1.1.1 (8/1/18)]

This crashes the game upon launching a vessel w/ a control surface in 1.3. Are there plans for an update?

[[1.5.1] Engine Lighting (1.5.1) Little Config Update (13 October)]

@Rocket In My Pocket ...so it does. Thanks.

@HaArLiNsH thank you so much you're the best

are there plans to update this to 1.3?

When you want that booster gone, "Angle for best results."

 I've heard they help with ADHD? I had the kerbals manufacture one.  I promise you, mine spins the longest-

DAMN IT

Manley said this could happen. I blame the atmosphere. And gravity.

There. Still going. 

Believe it or not, still going. And perfectly fine. And sort a mesmerising. Is this how it's supposed to work?

Craft download please!

What? Where can I read these rumors and whispers?

Finalized the designs for the ships for my next mission. I'm planning to make a video of it.

@basic.syntax I hope not. I love love love the look of porkjet's parts.

@SpannerMonkey(smce) what's that little island behind you?

[[1.4.5] Smart Actuators v1.1.1 (8/1/18)]

Any possibility you could throw it on spacedock so I can get emails about updates?

[Simple mod request: make control surfaces not respond to attitude control when not in atmosphere]

@TheRagingIrishman thank you so much! I'll give it a go when you make the full release.

As far as a name goes, how about "Necessary Control"? Since it removes unnecessary control.

@Claw's  Stock Bug Fixes (or more accurately, the StockPlus part of it) already added this functionality, I think both for control surfaces and engine gimbals (not mentioned in the description, but I seem to remember seeing it in 1.1.3):

okay, so it seems that stock bug fix and stock plus work fine in 1.2 but neither actually contain the functionality that I want. Unless I'm missing something the files and code are straight up not on github.

[Simple mod request: make control surfaces not respond to attitude control when not in atmosphere]

@Crimeo that's the whole point. It looks silly. I know it's possible in real life, but it still looks silly.

[KSP Weekly: Without labor nothing prospers]

As long as we're on the topic of part failures, I think part failures would be made 100x more fun if there was some kind of KAS-like feature built in to the game. It would make repair missions possible and fun (and open up a excrements ton of exciting new gameplay possibilities elsewhere).

Imagine this: you've sent up a communications satellite, but its long range antenna failed. No biggie. You send your best engineer up in an SSTO. You dock the failed satellite into the spaceplane's cargo bay, where a replacement antenna is waiting. Your engineer jetpacks over to the cargo bay and gets into a command seat to brace himself while he works. He detaches the faulty antenna and lets it drift off into space, then attaches the replacement he's brought up.

I think it would be really fun.

[Simple mod request: make control surfaces not respond to attitude control when not in atmosphere]

@swjr-swis ah thank you! As soon as I have time I will test and see if it works in 1.2, and if it doesn't I'll try my hand at updating it.

[Simple mod request: make control surfaces not respond to attitude control when not in atmosphere]

@goldenpsp Maybe I will. Code is intimidating.

how the engines and control surfaces moved even with no air/ throttle/ or electrical power.

I assumed it was hydraulics

[Simple mod request: make control surfaces not respond to attitude control when not in atmosphere]

@HebaruSan that too!

[Simple mod request: make control surfaces not respond to attitude control when not in atmosphere]

It looks stupid for my spaceplanes to flap their flaps when they're in space, and it's annoying having to manually disable each control surface to prevent this. A mod that made them stay put when there's no atmosphere would be amazing.
