  1. Here's your CORN I want a cheese cream donut.
  2. <ksp root folder>/GameData all your mods (including stock parts/flags) should be in there
  3. Did some basic konstructing around Orange Sands / Dessert Aerospace Flight Complex https://i.imgur.com/f47vtnd.png
  4. Granted, but it affects you instead and the corruption destroys all trace of your existence I wish for a grilled cheese sandwich
  5. Guess the layout makes sense for a station, but what are they going to use the mezzanine floor for and can these be strapped together floor-outwards into a gravity ring
  6. I think "use of planes" was referring more to commercial and hobby aviation (fair), but this is completely true
  7. Saw that vid too, I really like the idea, been playing around with it mentally, on and off, for ... 3 months? Really glad to see someone actually did it
  8. based on context I think it's thrust to mass ratio also @Timmon26 I think these slides make up the best spaceflight primer I have ever seen
  9. maybe they can make a DY-100 using these modules
  10. The rocket is unmanned, and therefore cannot read those threads, so the threads lose Rock-paper-scissors shoot, anything you want to do!
  11. Sorry for the lateness, but here's Episode 1 FLIGHT 1 OMSS ALPHA - ZENITH TRUSS Main engine start at T-5s Liftoff at 3 Erbol 2001, on the first flight of the Space Ferry Launcher Orkhomenos carrying the first component of our collective starting point for permanent space habitation. Roll program complete, beginning pitch program. All systems nominal. And Orkhomenos has reached space! Crew reports all systems green. Booster engine cutoff in 3, 2, 1 <thwOMp> Initiate stage separation. Stage separation confirmed. All systems nominal. Interstage camera shows engine bell clear, main engine start. Tracking footage from the former Pusher Cove Observatory-turned-launch-site .. Main engine cutoff 1 in 3, 2, 1. Orbital insertion complete, 156x140 km orbit confirmed. Setting node for 140x140km circularization. Warming up engine... Main engine restart. Main engine cutoff 2. Tracking confirms 141x140km orbit. Opening payload bay doors. Initializing station autonomous functions... Station is confirmed under independent control. (Nye Island MT-TCDL dish slews to radio contact) Separating payload. Bill reports payload clear. Maneuvering spacecraft out of clearance zone. Extending SAW Bravo. Spacecraft is clear of 100m SAW keep out zone. Deploying SAW Alpha and truss radiator. Orkhomenos is confirmed clear of 200m main engine keep-out zone, initiating deorbit burn. Orkhomenos has entered atmosphere. Green Sands Test Range tracking footage Deploying airbrakes, preparing for flip to descent deceleration burn. Descent burn initiated, crew reports all systems remained within temperature limits. Decelerating on engine power... I think we got off-course. Don't worry crew, your projected landing site in in an uninhabited section of desert. Parachutes deployment confirmed at 5 km AGL. Coast Guard heli onsite for touchdown observation. Engine destruction. Definitely not intended, but expected. and Orkhomenos has completed its first flight, doing almost 2 orbits. Crew are safe and sound, seemingly unfazed by the RUD of their MU-421 Eagle engine, with the exception of Bill Kerman. Recovery was wrapped up by 4 Erbol, engine and thrust puck fragments mostly accounted for. Station command truss is in working order, confirmed nominal 141x140km equatorial orbit.
  12. thanks for the warning, will test out the ACRV before starting station build
  13. I have decided to completely restart this project with updated/changed mods and stuff, as such past content shall be considered deprecated. New save file, etc. Main points of concern here are: switching out Snacks for TAC-LS, I've messed around with Snacks for the past year but the simplicity never really felt that satisfying, also TAC is more widely supported installing KIS because stock construction never really got not-jank when KSP1 development ended, I've repeatedly tried installing a Klaw on the PSCN only to have Bill and the Klaw flung 10 km away Installing solar panel decay because ... idk why actually but it sounded interesting Updating to the LilBread402 fork of HabTech because iROSA upgrade and ACRV Extraplanetary Launchpads because shipyard Rational Resources
