Getting some weird physics issues with the lono wheels. I'm getting this error in the logs [LOG 19:19:27.335] Part bluedog.LRV.Wheel exited collision with Duna Xp231330112, but it wasn't in collision count list! And then the wheels brick themselves and only work on reload

I think it's about that time.

CONGRATIONS!!!!!! My hiatus is (probably) over, time to get back to hustling. First order of business is doing This. BEHOLD, THE SANDBAR. A skylabish monstrosity. And after a fair bit of physics wrangling, a few launches and a few days of building, its self construction begins. The station of the future, one that builds ITSELF (with the assistance of a crew of three horribly overworked engineers). Featuring its first module, the very first in the long long radio telescope/relay system. For scanning the nearby star Cercani for any signs of life and for communicating with probes I MOST DEFINITELY did NOT overestimate the communications power on. Now featuring Gyazo links that won't 404 within the week.

Yup, knew it. The extra long SIV-B was the giveaway. Don't know if I've seen anyone use the F1 vacuum yet. Looks great by the way.

Ohhh yes. I KNOW what's in that interstage. First time I've seen anyone here actually use that variant.

Yup, think I did. I'll update.

Getting a strange bug. The verniers on the Pele SRB are INCREDIBLY over tuned. They also don't vector correctly and send the rocket careening.

Oh thank you, I've been wanting a capped variant of that fairing forever

The OV-1 partset is gonna be KILLER for making some great space torpedoes and the like.

I like the kick stage

Okay weird, deleted and reinstalled system heat, and now it works fine. Thanks for the help!

Alright I'm on the beta, having some issues with the Prometheus/Titan radial decoupler now. Right clicking on it causes the menu to pop up all bugged, and then completely prevent right clicking on any part till I close and re open the VAB. Here's the KSP log. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/992jw84cwqr2g6jblsn8l/KSP.log?rlkey=7movmv13yk2cnap8dpjr462ub&st=gr5zfj5r&dl=0

Wow, I am surprised I've NEVER seen these satellites till now. They look like toys instead of real spacecraft. The models are looking great so far.

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine here's an imgur album link. I should stop being lazy and start using image hosting so my stuff doesn't have an expiration date. https://imgur.com/a/Z9lvcrE

I have decided to take the Next Logical Step in rocket technology, my own Wonderful rendition of a """space shuttle""" Forgoing such fanciful ideas like "Reusable rockets" and "technological advancement" and instead going with what definitely works and is assuredly cheaper. Mass producing the same engine and just changing it a bit. 4 sea level J-2's for the first stage, second stage powered by one sea level J-2. Heavily inspired by the NLS and crafted with love to be the catalyst for endless armchair arguments over its practicality in this fake worlds inevitable internet.

Set up the antenna booms wrong but oh well.

OH I forgot about this part. Wish it was a docking piece itself instead of being a row of parts nodes. Though it's probably supposed to go with the flat construction ports that also got added, the small ones.

Wait is there a radial construction port?

Fully assembled.

oh yeah it is but full length would be overkill for the stock system.

Oh it's stable Oh yeah baby it's time. 40% of the time spent making the lander, 40% spent making it a BIT more stable, 19% making it STOP exploding on launch and 1% spent making the rest of it. Sadly I had to sacrifice 3/4 of the surface sampling probes due to part count but I DID IT, It's GONNA work.

NOPE, 24 H-1's, NO upgrades. Having all your engines lighting be a total crapshoot keeps things interesting.

Teaser time

Had a thought, what about an engine mount like this but for the Atlas III variant of the RD-180? Cool hollow mount like this that lets us connect stuff to the fuel line cleanly.

ALWAYS love seeing more generic and ahistorical parts like this. Love me some funky kitbashing.
