    Go to this thread: 

    And search within the Original Post for the patch called: "Add Angled Docking Ability to Docking Ports." Copy that, change the value for the angle you want, and save the patch in your GameData folder.

    Thanks, seems to be exactly what I was looking for. Will this still allow rotation of rotateable dockingports?

    A little question on stock and modded dockingports (esp. those without twisting)

    Is it possible to make them snap into certain discrete angles not any strange random orientation from the whole continuum of numbers? Sometimes you want to dock a vessel in a certain orientation and are visually bothered by a docking orientation deviation of 0.512342 degree or less, which make larger vessel with big panels look aligned wrong... sometime i feel i wish the possible docking orientation were not a continuum but a set of discrete orientations (maybe in 1 degree steps)

    In short, and as far as I'm understanding it: MirageDev is making a (very promising) re-entry FX mod, which is in closed beta testing for the moment. However someone is constantly leaking it, which is a major dick move.
    Also, people (especially on reddit) are behaving like a bunch of entitled babies about Blackracks volumetric mod (and are also leaking it), and are whining about it being on Patreon.

    Googled that mod... looks very good. Any way to be part of that closed beta for testing and bug reporting? (legally, not by leak). Found no forum thread on that.

    FYI, my work has ceased on Kopernicus.  It's not just lack of time, I just can't be bothered to work for such an ungrateful community that is constantly doing leaks of paid (and unpaid, private) users mods.

    MirageDev's unpaid mod has been the subject of a leak campaign by someone.  Until such time as that stops, Kopernicus development from me has stopped as well.  Same with blackrack's work.  I don't want to see a single pirate copy in the KSP-sphere, guys.

    This has actually been in effect for a few months, nearly since last release.  Consider that the last release until "no pirate builds on KSP discords and sites" is realized.  This is very much a subjective thing from my perspective, but I'll be watching.

    To all legitimately appreciative and non-pirate users who had open requests, I'm sorry, but what you see is what you get until this stops.  It doesn't help things that I've been very busy lately, but at least, take solace in the fact the latest build mostly does everything most people could need.

    This is fully understandable. Sad, that this is the way things go. I can't understand, why people need to leak stuff, that costs almost nothing compared to so many other things in life.

    As for me myself, I am very thankful for all the work you and all the other modders put into all this KSP 1 has become. I just want to say thank you and hope for a continue on Kopernicus, if things get sorted. 

     

    [As for my reported bug report: You may want to download the files for maybe having a look at it later on because they are only available till tomorrow about this time, because it's a filehoster free of charge.]

     

    For my curiosity: What has exactly happened? What was stolen/pirated? Why should someone do that, given the fact, the affected mods surely won't a super duper premium price tag ? Things that cost less than a tasty steak shouldn't be an issue for the average adult KSP auditorium, I would guess.

    Kopernicus throws Logspams in my install with the latest version ... The log is constantly flooded with this message:

    here the logs and the craft file: https://www.filemail.com/d/blwoqctueuuqfbx  ( @R-T-B: Available for 7 days, because of free file hoster.)

    The texted vehicle is a testcraft using solar panels from Planetside, Near Future, SpikeX. The Capsule is from TheMarsian4Ksp...

     

    Tested Location KSP-Launchpad and LKO.

    Installed Planetmods: REX and OPM. Error do not occur with my previous Kopernicus Version (150)

    No, I'm not aware of anything like that. The NSWRs don't have weird crash tolerance, it is similar to a lot of other parts. 

     

    Next update I'm making some changes to how Antimatter is managed. I will no longer use the CRP definition. It's strongly configured for managing antimatter in the ng realm, which is trading ease of use for minuscule quantities for significant detriments of use in anything larger.

    • Antimatter unit density will go up by about 10,000x, putting it in the same ballpark as LH2 (0.0007 t/unit) at 0.00001 t/unit
    • Antimatter consumption rates for the Casaba and Dirac engines will go up by about 1000x (the difference between 50 ng and 50 ug in gameplay terms is irrelevant) in order to keep some semblance of UI-friendly numbers
    • The storage ring fuel mass capacity will be adjusted upward by about 1000x to match, so the number of storage rings for the low tech engines will be unchanged
    • Performance for the Casaba/Dirac will not change
    • Cost will be revised, generally. 
    • The storage capacity of the larger antimatter tanks will be completely redone

    I haven't decided whether this is a new resource or the old resource, patched. This will probably soft-break all antimatter using ships, so this is a warning post. The final numbers I have not agreed on, still playtesting what feels good, but this is the direction.

     

    Good to know.

    Than also all antimatter using patches will have to be revised too, like this one I made for the blueshift mod to enable the nova facility to create Blueshift's exotic material out of FFT - antimatter:

    Maybe you may want to offer this patch as an optional extra, ... but it will need recalibration due to your incoming changes to antimatter usage.

    Hi there,

    I got a bug report for you.

     

     

    Dynamic Battery Storage calculates energy flow from NF Solarpanels wrong:

    see here:

    DURHFqA.jpeg

     

    The energy flow in the game is calculated correctly (the engines are sufficiently supplied and don't stutter), but the DBS display is way off reality... The panels here correctly deliver 72 EC/s into KSPs ressource system. DBS only shows 1.00 EC/s, which is wrong. Fortunately the vessel works correctly. Maybe you want to fix the issue in DBS or NF Solar, if you like to ;-) (Newest DBS version)

    @Nertea

    Also: DBS calculates 1 EC/s also even if those OKEB solar panels are retracted.

    Nope, it seems the source code has all this added. However, it is not in full release. I can finally make my Minmus base! (maybe also a hotel and casino if you know what I mean..)

    No, this is actually in release. A pre-release mind you, but still a release!

    https://github.com/Angel-125/Sandcastle/releases/tag/v1.2.0

    Any how-to or short video somewhere available how this works? I am currently about to return to ksp.... (as soon as RL lets me :-) )

     

     

    And... I know about the Minmus casino by matt lowne. :D

    Hi there.

     

    @R-T-B

    I noticed something odd. Since I upgraded from Kopernicus 150 to the most recent version I noticed that all AG-assigned Solarpanels were removed from the respective action groups.

    I reinstalled Kopernicus 150 and they were back again upon loading craft files. Something along the way to version 206 must have broken the AG-assignments.

     

    Greetings

    mods you find where panels

    Here some that contain solar panels aside from the well known NearFuture-Suite:

    -SpikeX

    -Planetside

    Don't know if they work in the latest Kopernicus iteration
