Just a poll to see how others design their crafts.

Another good thing to have would be separate CoM+DCoM's for each stage (each toggleable, ofc).

I don't know, to me it seems pretty important to have the Dry CoM show up in the VAB/SPH. Would be great for planning flight during different fuel levels.

Uhhh sure. I just find it kinda silly to have a multi-month journey with nothing for the kerbals to do other than sit in their Mk3-Cabin seats. Just imagine the cramps! Agreed 100%

From a gameplay perspective I think that affected factors (life support) really need to be implemented.

So I know we already have a(n albeit crammed) living space (the Hitchhiker) but I'm think for longer space missions, wouldn't an interaction chamber be more reasonable? Somewhere where the kerbals could exercise, etc.

Yes, but it should require some electrical charge to re-compress the air.

Why exactly isn't there a video on this yet? These parts are awesome!

TweakScale makes me really uncomfortable for some reason. Perhaps it's related to the fact that I'm a huge anti-part-clipping pedant and stock-like parts pack fanatic. Or maybe it's because it breaks a couple of logical rules sometimes. Ah well.

Mk3 inline docking port would be nice, with a tiered docking extender (like the one on the OPT-K cockpit). Additionally, it could have one tiered port on both sides.

5. What if you wanted a little more crew than the cockpit allows on a shuttle?

If IVA Parachutes is installed, will there be an option for chutes to auto-deploy after EVA?

Some IRL rovers are on the scale of domestic cats, though.

What if we had a "plaza" part? Somewhere that the Kerbals can go and socialize instead of always being confined to their tiny sleeping space.

Is there any word on parts that are smaller than Kerbals? Such as wheels and cores that can be used to make Mars- and Lunar-rover/lander/orbiter replicas.

Can't you just "Set Target" on the drone and work from there?

Tbh this really should be stock

I've set my account so that I get notifications when someone posts content in a thread I'm following. However, I will cease getting notifications from that thread after one notification from it. I went over my settings a few times, and it should work, but it doesn't want to budge. I feel like I'm missing something...

2. Yup 3. Not really? The SciJr is pretty much the only inline science part. 4. Seriously? I always thought they were intended for shuttles. The cockpit even looks a lot more like NASA shuttles than Boeings 5. I don't mean an actual living space, just a smaller Mk3 passenger hold.

A mk3 cargo bay with a mk2 cockpit clipped slightly in from the roof, with some extra crew capacity in the bottom. Think of the Mark IV crew cabin. You should check out Lack's Stock Extension mod! OPT's K-size cargo ramp can also be used as a nose.

Once again updated with Mk3 inline cockpit and skis.

1. Dang. I recall seeing a mod that has redone SPP parts but it was really low quality. 2. I thought they looked pretty good... 3. There's a lot of space left over inside the cargo bay after a SciJr is inserted. I guess putting some goo canisters on the sides would solve that, but I really don't see the point of, >open cargo bay >activate scijr >activate goo1 >activate goo2 When you could just do, >activate mk2scijr and with a better look! 4. MPL: mobile processing lab. The name implies it can move around. And Mk3 isn't just for planes, you could use a Mk3MPL in a "Grand Tour" shuttle. 5. Going from a little living space for four to a 16-crew passenger plane segment and calling it the Mk3 version is a bit silly. You wouldn't call an interstate bus the heavy duty version of a dingy motel room, would you?

UPDATED

I disagree. Kerbal technology in the game is supposed to be comparable to today's technology, and you won't see any trees on Mars any time soon, so no, no terraformers.

What advantages does dumping electrical charge have? So basically redirecting the electrons to a diode where they are forced to turn into dissipating heat energy?
