Par for the course, it seems. I guess the trick is to expect no better, and keep backup installs. Just ignore most of... whatever it is Squad thinks they're doing. (Today. Whoops, spoke too soon. There's 1.0.4.) Use the new mechanics, if they work, toss the huge, ugly, and imprecise stock parts, and balance your stuff yourself, Nertea. I trust you. I've given up trying to guess what the next official episode of what Streetwind (too politely) called "bonkers" will bring.

VSR problem. KIS wants IVAs and I don't think Ven's completed the Kerbcan's internals.

0.1.2 breaks the Tau. I think you want its TechRequired to be largeElectrics.

That one looks like an easy fix, actually. Some other modders ran into it before. This is probably the solution: Hope that helps. Sounds good. Xenon has pretty specific uses. I always need electricity, but offhand I can't remember when I last wanted a constant supply of xenon. I mean, I'll slap some on the occasional late-game satellite, but that's it. By the time I have enough science points to unlock that node, I've usually sent up most of my critical satellites on Terriers or LVNs. re: heat, Nertea and Randazzo have good mods to deal with the stock type.

Beautiful textures and models. The nuclear converter's electricity output looks all right from a balance perspective. Not sure about the xenon - I rarely use that resource so I have no opinion. You might want to give it a heatProduction value, though, and its price probably shouldn't be a negative half mil.

Yep. In the part file, under the engine config, leave the first module alone (AnimatedEngine). Comment out everything below it, until Resource.

Uh-huh. Do you know that because you can eyeball 188 cm or because you stood next to a tape measure and someone told you that's how high you reached?

No, I'm 5'7. And people know what that means because 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 are easy numbers to visualize. Try to visualize 173 of anything. That's not how the brain works.

If you spend more time building rockets than baking cakes, good for you. Use the metric system if it makes your life easier. I ain't stopping you, and American society will join you when enough Americans are also making more rockets than cakes. What I object to are politicians telling me it'll simultaneously simplify my life and save the planet and don't forget the children! Think of the children! - if I forget every frame of reference I ever learned. Sure there are. What do you think "foot" refers to? It's roughly the size of an average human foot. Imperial units are based on need; that's why units differ between liquor and pork bellies, as in the example cited earlier. I didn't accuse anyone of thinking in any particular way. I simply observed that 355 ml is not a natural measurement. 12 oz is. However you label the can, ounces are the basis for the amount that's in it, because that's what makes sense.

I'm averse to part bloat, but I like what you've made so far and I really like the new model and emissive, so I voted for 2 and 3.

Because no one drinks a pint of pork bellies. Chesterton's fence applies here: "In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, 'I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away.' To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: 'If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.'" (Even the fiercest advocates of the metric system never seem to realize they're still living their lives in imperial amounts, just with metric labels. No one ever had the thought, "Hey, 355 is a good amount of milliliters for the average person!") Imperial units are based on human needs, human experience, and the human body. The metric system isn't an attempt to improve the economy, or increase scientific understanding; it's based on a belief that universal rules and standards imposed from on high can make people better. And like Mal said, I do not hold to that.

I use DMagic's Temperature Gauge Killer: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/120731

Just wanted to say thank you to Ferram for all his extraordinary work. The stock aerodynamics confused and frightened me, and FAR showed me that while I may be a terrible pilot and a pretty amateurish designer, I'm not actually insane.

Thank you for making this mod. It's lean, clean, and well-balanced.

Great concept. I love mods which add functionality as well as increasing realism. This is my favorite part: That will really make things a lot more immersive. Subscribed; can't wait to see how it goes.
