  1. Ah. then they arent any more stackable than the graphene ones. Length variation would be more useful than width. They dont looks as cool without the 1:20 aspect ratio
  2. How do you stack the droplet radiators? I saw a a post on reddit that has them 1km long but when i put them on top of each other the model doesnt change
  3. Part 8: Dancer in the Dark The Endeavour picks up the new fuel module and heads to Nienna. The detour means it will need just as much fuel as it started with. A direct return could have been done with just 1 of those tanks Helium diver arrives at Nienna. Transfers are cheap in this system so nukes will do just fine once the starship leaves the colonists here Had kerbalkind evolved here, fusion development would have been hampered with low demand and high entry barrier having to mine it from gas giants from the start. Nienna is however a much better 3He mine than Urlum, so i guess it evens out A secondary tug transfers 3He to the starship as the diver isnt very agile Once fully fueled it return to Disole to pick up the payload Unknown conditions at the destinations need a very large lander 1H depleted. Switching to reaction products After a long journey the Endeavour returns home. The burn starts while the star is still small but the periapsis is around Moho Hi Minmus you have a small SOI Green and Blue, a yet unique sight With the Mun in the sky, a shuttle is launched to retrieve the crew After 32 years the first interstellar travelers return home. The roster includes the veterans, Zhandar and Aiko's crew. A better destination will be their resting place, one that the James Kerman telescope detected oxygen on. As for the Endeavour, it will be refurbished and used for colonial transport between the Kerbol-Cercani systems. At first it will send smaller crews of 100 and highly advanced tech the colony cant make but once significant self sustained grown its achieved it will start sending crews of several thousand. Eventually a subcolony will be established on Pequar to start producing greenhouse gasses to melt the ice. In a few hundred years Pequar will be terraformed and the truly massive waves of a million at a time will depart for a world like Kerbin bar only breathable air. Vessa is a tease, the SO2 needs O2 to precipitate, there is very little actual rocky surface and the climate is unstable. With enough terraforming both it and Disole will be habitable but that will take geologic time. The spoils. This brings enough science to unlock the most theoretical of propulsion drives. Antimatter will never be practical but Z-pinch will help a lot. The next choice will be between K2V Kepsilon Kirilani and G8V Cer Turi, then furthest yet detected M8V Tarsis-1. But first in focus is the mission to Nova Kirbani... FIN
  4. So what would be the use case for FEEP over the HISNAP and under driving it? the tiny nuclear reactor makes 60kW so xenon would make more thrust there. It looks light so maybe for missions where power is really low it would save weight? Maybe since it uses very dense liquid metal it could get better mass fractions? The resistorjets seem to not be any better than ants due to lower mass fractions and xenon has it even lower. edit: but if the mass fraction would be made better we would run into the same issue but with why pick xenon over clusters of these. NFP itself runs into the same issue: why would i ever pick the DAWN after unlocking the NEXT? Also i think the old PPT texture looked better.
  5. Caesium has a bluish purple emission, the next element barium would actually be green so i guess it fits:
  6. Part 7: Country Lode take me Home After returning from Pequar, the only planet left to search is Troni, as hinted in a stray signal found on Disole Theres a thin strip of ice on the night side. Surprisingly the alien considers this gravity comfortable, while its much to low for kerbals. Maybe he is from a Duna sized planet. Next destination is back to Nienna Passing through the rings Does this look as cool as the other shot? No settlement to be found here but theres more points of interest further away. It seems losing fuel to overheating put the alien very close to running out of fuel. Im not sure how since the burn would be close to Nianna so a refueling pass would come naturally. Our ship has enough fuel it doesnt even need to refuel here again Having found everything of note, The Endeavour return to Disole one last time. This time at a very high inclination for some reason. A hohman transfer had to be done due to bad angles for a high energy transfer One last thing is left to do: a long term Vessa base Parachutes are enough here, also no need for a fuel module Lastly an atmospheric probe arrives at Nienna to investigate the concentrations of 3He and 2H. Also its been a long time since a fuel cell has been used. Since Cercani lacks a close in large vacuum moon, Nienna is the only place to get 3He for returning home. Due to other findings with the alien, returning home will not be as simple as first assumed. To be Continued... ✶●●<●●><●●●●><●●>
  7. Part 6: Sand Planet Back at Vessa to investigate the signals. As expected, no remnants of the previous outpost was found. Its still unknown if they were removed intentionally or simply abandoned a very long time ago. If youre flying east on a tidally locked planet, is it called a sunrise or sunset? I dont know if i mentioned it but the plane is called Stormsonor and the return shuttle is Reaper. The low gravity and high atmosphere allow for easy splashdowns so there is no chance of tipping over The fuel truck waits around the asteroid to refuel the next mission Since a lot of traveling will be required around Pequar, a mobile base will be used with long term habitation and renewable life support Even with the fins it is not entirely stable but the fairing is just heat resistent enough to aerobreak Parachutes are surprisingly effective here. A small single use fuel tank powers a set of landing rockets for a soft touchdown Next is the lander, which will meet with the Endeavour in low Pequar orbit to pick up the crew. It has 5k deltaV Tiramisu Base meets with the lander to pick up the crew for the long journey. A large RTG will provide power for the life support during the night This random crater appears to contain a signal. It appears that the alien is from a low gravity world, perhaps one like Vessa. Kerbals however find it perfectly comfortable here. Perhaps if we find its species they could be better adapted for low gravity worlds like Disole, Duna or Tekto The journey has reach far up north, this is round the same latitude as Oslo and the south tip of Greenland. Surface sample reveals something very promising, these polar caps are made largely of ice and CO₂ and satellite scans indicate that its at least 4km thick! This planet is also much richer in exotic minerals so it would be relatively easy to set factories to produce massive amounts of perfluorocarbons to increase the greenhouse effect enough to melt the ice, increasing its atmosphere in the process. Currently the atmosphere only reaches high enough pressure to support breathing in the deepest regions, which are full of rough sand and will be the first to be flooded. The scarcity of N₂ means the atmosphere will likely never be fully breathable but plantlife should be able to thrive This elevation map shows pretty well the expected result. The deep sand seas and polar basin will be filled and swampy midlands will become common around the equator Some marketing guy at intervision claims this polar basin has the best views in the system. This is clearly false This latitude is the best for observing the rings as the thin bands fade out from closer to the equator After 3 weeks and driving basically around the planet the Tiramisu mobile base returns to the landing site, where it will spend another week refueling the lander. Perhaps merging the refueling equipment with the mobile base want the most optimal design as its a significant part of its weight and does nothing while in transit Here is a revised version of the habitability index. While Vessa is still better as is and is much easier to orbit, the terraforming project would raise Pequar to 10, which is higher than Laythe! Vessa could get perhaps another point in the short term. In the long term where atmospheric refactoring is in play Pequar could become a second Kerbin and Vessa could surpass Laythe while Disole could reach at most 8.5, similar to Eve and Duna back home. To be Continued... ✶●●<●●><●●●●><●●>
  8. For some reason every time i open the save it says something about copying some artifact but its never there. I found with the asteroids around Vessa and Nienna the lowest points go bellow sea level and stop rendering, i didnt test if the collision still exists. When you get set back to Vessa the signals are so weak that it impossible to detect them from cruising altitude. I flew around the whole western hemisphere before doing low passes around the first one. This wasnt a problem around the previous place, i even found one out of order. Exactly what kind of vehicle is expected to have for Vessa anyway since the heisenberg electric props are quite obscure. Also why were the original flags removed? i like the spikier logo from the old version.
  9. Part 5: Return to Sender It turns out we missed some of the signals, As signal on Disole is encrypted. A new lander design is made with better thrust and more minimalist crew quarters, just 1 kerbal this time and no material bay as most places have been fully explored already. Returning to Nianna and Kevari. The 2 inner moons both had a signal, some quite far off the equator. The outer moon also had a second signal that could now be read, it looks like it was placed way later. Zhandar decides to just parachute down to the hangar rather than bring the shuttle down The signal chase can now resume, At this point the good antennas have been depleted so the signals are much weaker, Since this moon is easy to scout a later signal has been found here too. The date it was recorded indicates our alien didnt get as lucky with outer planet alignment. Next destination is back to Vessa. The question is if this is the time for a semipermanent Vessa base or not. A reusable shuttle is probably in order anyway, and atmospheric scooping should provide a good way to refuel the lander and restock on fertilizer on the Endeavour. Since this one is shorter here is a chart of the habitability of different worlds. Some adjustments could be made to the ranking. To be Continued... ✶●●<●●●><●●><●●●●●●><●●●●●●><●<●●><●●>><●●><●●>
  10. I have an idea for an electric engine: railguns. It would fire USI metals as propellant or maybe even solid oxygen pellets since theyre magnetic. Since its firing macroscopic solids the propellant is irrelevant to the isp. The universal containers have very bad dry mass ratio so a custom tank would be needed wheather they need special pellets or not. It would start at 700s isp but could be made longer like the fresnel from fft at the cost of increasingly prodigious amounts of electricity consumption. The plume could look something like the pulses on the antimatter catalyzed microfusion engine where theres a brief streak of red. If used in the oxygen pellet mode it would be green, fading to red at the ends. i dont know what color iron would be. This engine could be useful in places with low volatiles like metallic asteroids or sunblasted planets where hydrogen for propellant isnt available. It could use the same engine chargeup mechanic as the lithium fusion engine where it has to keep going to remain on. I suspect it would be more efficient than other electric engine since its not wasting energy turning the propellant into plasma and fires all of it directly behind.
  11. Part 3: Minmus and scansats Miku IV arrives at Minmus, quite a lot earlier than Miku II This time the landing was next to the rock rather than on it. It this low gravity it can easily visit a ton a biomes including the poles, returning home with only 1 deltav ramaining and before Miku II even arrives. Because of that Miku II will not produce much science but a survey contract provides some value still. Upgrading the science center to get the last science instrument before the transfer window to Moho opens up is in the works. 3 more rockets of this series are ordered before being deprecated Returning Almost hit this lake This is the Matrioska Scansat. 1 will be deployed to each body in the Kerbin system to scan its surface. The night launch is less than ideal as the engine uses electric turbopumps and it doesnt have enough battery to do the ejection in 1 burn. Data from it will be used to guide the last of the moon landing missions.
  12. Part 4: A story of Ice and Gravity The HMS Endeavor arrives at Nienna via a low pass for how much the oberth effect is worth at these speeds. First destination is the inner potato moon where the fuel tank detaches and begins refueling from the asteroids water rich crust. These bodies are not as water rich as it would be expected so it will take like 28 days to fully fuel The first destination is the volcanic moon Kevari. Arrival time happened to coincide with an eclipse, Kevari being lit only by the light the diffracts through the atmosphere of Nienna. This is the Atomic Peanut lander. Unfortunately it underperforms just like the Tronitron. The gravity on these bodies is quite large so it only gets around 2 twr. The nuclear engines are also slow to respond making touchdown difficult. It does however run on only hydrogen so it can be refueled at least, even if this 5ton lander gets half the deltaV than the 100ton starship from that amount of hydrogen. Of course some of these moons are the size of Duna so this lander would have been much better at Troni. Better fuel tank design an maybe a dedicated water tank might have made LOX more feasible due to less gravity drag but FFT is lacking in terms off efficient lander engines. The Fresnel is longer than physics range so it cant land and the Discovery gets less than half the isp and is very heavy to carry around just as a lander. The only other viable option is the lithium engines but that would require hauling lithium from the colony. A singular nuclear lightbulb would be the best option but no such engine exists. Next Destination is Niko in search of the signal. Surprisingly Niko is Mun-like with a completely dry rocky surface. Maybe it was more like Kevari before it was pushed out by the arrival of Crons. Overall this system is very water poor for how far beyond the frost line it was when Cercani was in main sequence, and it still is. Last up is Crons. The atmosphere here is just tick enough to add a rim glow effect to the sky which looks really nice. Despite what the intervision team said about Niko, this is definetely the most hostpitable moon of the Nienna system. The hard vacuum might be a problem due to micrometeors but the lack of craters suggests this is a calm part of the system. With all the moons visited its time to head to the next planet. The transfer windows is a bit off but theres still plenty of fuel to brute force the approach. For some reason theres no light in the barycenter SOI but solar still works. First up is Secunda, the most interesting looking of the planets, and the only one where it still looks interesting from the surface. The shattered plates on the other side looks even better. 10/10 would want it as a moon. Time for an express departure back to Pequar. It will take around 90 days in which Pequar will have orbiter a quarter orbit. That will be the final destination. There are plans to establish long term outposts on both Vessa and Pequar with reusable shuttles between them, then work will begin on a gas giant diver to collect He3 for the return journey as Nienna is the only place in the system this is possible. The question is weather to bring back Jeb and the crew. The HMS Endeavour will be tasked to carrying colonists and infrastructure between Kerbin and Disole via refueling at Urlum and Nienna. The very steamy atmosphere of Vessa might in fact be a great refueling spot for both water and argon and should have been considered for the first arrival instead of waiting for the colony to develop a way to send hydrogen up form Disole.

  13. Premise: Going places in ksp is always a quick afair, but in real life you often just see the launch then months or years later you hear of the result. This series will try to replicate that by not using time warp. The clock will be set to earth time and on game boot will be warped to the present, only allowing preplanned manuver nodes to be performed in the catch up period. If quickloading is needed due to bad piloting then warp can be used to get back to the previous point. The system will be the OPM Kerbol system at normal scale with no life support mods. High energy transfer will be used quite a lot here, even if transfer window planner struggles in that middle range between hohfmann and brachistochrone. Part 1: Fleas and Orbiters Jumping Flea Hammer stack Adding an upper stage to the hammer stack makes a good orbiter Most of the way there Landed on this steep hill. Part 2: Moonshot The Miku series rocket. A swivel and 2 reliants make a decent LV. throttle is needed at maxQ. The 2 side tanks provide enough deltaV for transfer, landing and 1 short hop. the tiny tank in the middle provides enough for return. Boosters spent, almost in orbit Going for TMI. the pug takes a while to perform this. Approaching the Mun A small step for kerbal, a huge leap for rocket. A hop to a different biome ended up landing in this rock. Returning to Kerbin. The upgraded Miku III going to Minmus. The second rocket went also to there and while it ended up arriving at the descending node by chance, the transfer was also suboptimal resulting in a 3 day transfer instead of the 18h transfer this one achieved. A forth rocket was also sent to the Mun piloted by a new recruit, if you can even call it that considering the probe is required for a scientist to fly it. A Moho transfer window opens in a week and a few other planets can be brute forced in that time frame. Question is how much i want to farm Minmus for science considering how OP each sea being its own biome is, and if i should do a kerballed mission before a probe arrives at the destination. It is very unlikely the Kerbin system alone will be able to unlock any far future tech since i upped the cost to 10K
  14. Part 3: just desserts The second attempt at a probe arrives at Nienna, this time with a larger antenna. This mission will take a while and the last moon will be scanned shortly before the crew arrives. Arriving at Kevari. The sulfur fields are very colorful, but there are no lakes of molten sulfur unfortunately Nianna looks small from the furthest asteroid. This one is surprisingly big, in fact the probe has only 0.9twr. But because the ground is much higher than sea level, on a potato with a very small radius the gravity is actually much weaker so the real twr is 1.5! Passing by Crons to correct the inclination. This is the last moon to visit(i didnt take screenshots from Niko and the inner potato) so the probe will wait here until the crew arrives so they can take the atmo scanner off since i forgot to put one on the lander. Meanwhile HMS Endeavour arrives at Troni. This is what the ancients imagined Moho to be. This place took the heat well as it would have been a dres-like planetoid in its past life. However we must wonder about the worlds inner of Troni that were swallowed up. Were there a much more hospitable world in the old habitable zone that hosted countless lineages of life over countless eons only for it to fall to be flames never to be known about? Or were there no worlds at all and this period is the beginning for worlds like Vessa and maybe Pequar? But one must wonder what kind of strange lifeforms would develop in 25 billion years, especially if Cercani had its calm nature during main sequence. This lander could have done with an extra engine. It has a twr of only 1.4, increasing to 2.6 empty. Troni is not that interesting from the ground. Probes are better suited to it. Also the low twr limited how many places could be visited. Returning home to search in the place where it all began... The plan: Miki will take the lander and argon tug down to the orbital factory and use the last of the materials to make a better lander that can run on just hydrogen, then carry the new lander to the Endeavour. Then the starship will depart towards Nienna with a high energy transfer as PrimaSecunda is close by and there is limited time to transfer, It will arrive in about 136 days using the last of the fuel, entering orbit around the inner asteroid to refuel which will take around 28 days. To be Continued... ✶●●<●●><●●●●><●●>
  15. Part 2: Hearth of Neutronium A bit later another probe arrives at Vessa After scanning Vessa, the probe goes to inspect C2. Weirdly it is quite rich in hydrates considering how close it is to the sun. Even more weird, this potato appears to have quite the gravity. Density calculations seems to indicate the core of this rock has to made of neutronium. Is this thing even a moon at all? After checking data from C3 it also indicates such a dense core but C2 appears to have a huge one. Meanwhile construction of apartment modules finishes on Disole. Work towards orbital infrastructure can begin. First a plane is made to actually explore this moon. Inspection of the midlands on the Pequar facing side reveal much richer resources compared to the dwindling silicates and metals in the plains. Moving the base is in consideration. In this low gravity even the panther can get most of the way to orbit. This spaceplane will fill bring hydrogen to the endeavor to prepare for its journey. I can be a bit unstable on descent, but with a twr much over 1 it has no chance of crashing. The small amounts of methane in the air also provide an easy supply of fuel Meanwhile another probe arrives at Prima. Due to the antenna being too small, the probe heading to Nienna did not receive signal and flew into deep space. But planetary aligment favored this one, receiving a few % of signal right at encounter. The moons are mostly ice, with Secunda being slightly active while Prima is completely dead despite the tidal stress. It is time for HMS Endeavour to head out once more. Destination Vessa, the source of the signal. Joining the A team will be Zhandar Kerman which was chosen to head down to the surface. Only overshoot the landing site by a quarter of the planet and ended up at the rift archipelago. Unfortunately i also undershot the island that looks like a crab The atmosphere is quite steamy and filled with poisonous sulfur dioxide, no oxygen at all. Of course we already knew that from the sprites and the James Kerman telescope. Still the skies are much more inviting, even with the yellow tint. While most of the surface lies buried in ice, Vessa could still make a better home than Disole with the proper terraforming. With geologic activity ceasing, the sulfur will soon dissolve away an leave the atmosphere ripe for oxygenation, even if artificial. It is also possible that life did manage to take hold out of reach on the ocean bottom. Stars like these live eons even past main sequence and so long as the subsolar storm may continue forever to reflect the scorching heat from boiling the oceans, life will always have enough time, native or not. After flying all around the planet, Zhandar ascents back to the mothership. Due to a much smoother ascent than in simulation, a ton of deltaV was left over and could even escape the planet completely in fact. However it had no capability beyond ascent and so was discarded. Following to the neutronium potato, the other source of the signal is also found. Looks like the alien moved outwards from here. First the Endeavour will head to Troni, then it will return to the origin of the adventure: C3. Funny how an asteroid that has been visited immediately at arrival and has been mined for minerals since could protect an alien device from notice. At some point a mission to Pequar itself is also in order. Its pure CO2 atmosphere isnt very inviting but it has near kerbin gravity. Perhaps it would be even easier to terraform than Vessa given the massive ice caps. An influx of oxygen could be all it needs to kickstart its transition to an ocean world. Departing for Troni. While the ship can refuel itself here, it has more than enough fuel and the transfer window is coming up. Also the ship would have to stay separated while refueling happens To be continued... ✶●●●●●
  16. Initially it worked fine and it only became a problem when switching between the planet and KSC a lot. then it started appearing by itself and i had to reboot the game. now it happens almost instantly making the game literally unplayable. I tried updating kopernicus but it did nothing. other problems ive seen are the star flashing through the ground and solar panels making power even when ocluded by the planet im orbiting. Ive never had this problem before and Cercani isnt really that far compared to Plock Also kerbal konstructs bases wont let launch thinks from bases there because it sees everything in the SOI as obstructing the runway including in orbit.
  17. It's been 32 years since the founding of the National Space Agency and kerbalkind's foray into space. A first fateful journey into interplanetary space, a momentous first step oh Jool's crown jewel, a self sufficient Mun base, a first spark of fusion opening the gates to the ice giants, a fearless descent into the clouds of Eve and a lonely outlook from the shadow of Plock, the Kerbol system has been thoroughly explored. Talks of colonizing Laythe and making kerbals truly multiplanetary are on the table but the Agency's goals of pushing the frontier ever further now align with another organization: Intervision. Data from the sprite program provides 2 candidates: Cercani, a 3.2Ly K5IV with 5 known planets, 2 in the habitable zone; and Nova Kirbani, a 4.3Ly G2V-K1V-M4Ve trinary with 4 known plants around the latter, 1 in the habbitable zone. The decision will be made for them by the reception of the PRP-2611 signal from the second planet of Cercani. The agency veterans that will be joining this mission are: Jebediah Kerman - Chief Pilot >Duna|Jool|Urlum Bob Kerman - Chief Scientist >Duna|Jool|Sarnus Bill Kerman - Chief Engineer of surface operations Valentina Kerman - Reserve Pilot and partner of Jeb Aiko Kerman(F) - Prodigy pilot >Sarnus|Urlum|Plock|Moho Piko Kerman(M) - Scientist under Aiko Miki Kerman(F) - Engineer >Jool|Sarnus Lupond Kerman(F) - Scientist >Jool Melming "Honeydew" Kerman(M) - Engineer on the Duna mission where he crashed the lander into Ike. Founder of the Mun base. Haifurt Kerman(M) - Pilot >Neidon Danfry Kerman(M) - Fearless scientist that returned from Eve. Also joined Haifurt to Neidon Elibur Kerman(F) - Scientist >Urlum Alming Kerman(F) - Scientist >Urlum Gracal Kerman(M) - Engineer >Urlum Zhandar Kerman(F) - Scientist joining from Intervision From Helion Base lifts the HMS Endeavour, powered by a J45 Fresnel drive, it lifts off under the power of its afterburners With a payload of 200tons and a top speed of 550km/s it will arrive at Cercani in around 6 years. Approaching Cercani, starting deceleration burn After achieving orbit, Valentina wakes from cryosleep to inspect the ship and plot an intersection with Disole, the Duna-like moon of the superkerbin Pequar. However she discovers an anomaly, the Endeavour had started its deceleration burn too early, causing it to arrive a year late. It relied on luminosity to measure its distance however the agency had somehow missed that Cercani was not main sequence, but a subgiant with luminosity compared to Kerbol and ancient beyond measure. Since the system was also much bigger as a result, Valentina will reenter cryosleep as it will take over a year to intercept Pequar Puquar and Disole Arrival While Disole is being scanned for resources, Aiko decides to take a makeshift spaceship and be the first to land on an interstellar body. C3 is a small asteroid inside Pequar's rings which is rich in exotics but lacks all volatiles. This mission will prove to be more than just bragging rights Skimming the atmosphere for argon. Until the base is established the only fuel sources available are argon and the polymers brought from the Mun Resource scanning reveals that Disole completely lacks exotic minerals, as well as being quire metal poor. C3 does however have a lot of exotics. The colony will have to import its exotics from offworld. Fortunately not many exotics are required, a single shipment can produce 10 times the specialized parts carried by Endeavour The habitat truck begins its descent. While most modules have landed withing loading range of each other, the goal of not landing at night requires a shallower less precise descent Crew arrives at Disole colony. Nearby is the cargo retrieval truck and far in the distance is the exotic minerals drop pod. The crew will spend a while building the bays of the processing plant until it works at full capacity. At that point it will start building apartments for the rest of the crew, half of which is still in cryosleep. A name for the colony has not yet been chosen. Disole has been chosen as the colonization target due to its low gravity, thick rich atmosphere and large available land. Specifically its atmosphere contains about 12% O₂ likely left over from past water being lost to space; which will allow lifting material back into orbit via spaceplane. It also contains trace amounts of methane which make fuel production much easier. It is by no means breathable and is poisonous in fact but its much more hospitable than Vessa with its dissapointingly anoxic, sulfurous atmosphere. The crew in orbit isnt sitting idle however. With plenty of leftover materials it starts to produce probes to scan the nearby planets. Troni is first due to its fast orbit. This is what the ancients imagined Moho to be, and its high proximity to Cercani might make it a good location for producing antimatter Landing wasnt planned but with plenty of sunlight, the engine proved capable, except for crash landing here. It was the last destination at least To be continued... ✶●●●●●●●●● ✶●●●●●
  18. So i was testing how much solar i need for probes and realized just how compact this system is. Pequar gets the same insolation as Kerbin. Vessa gets 2.6x which is more than Eve. Troni gets a whopping 34x which is like 5x Moho. Nienna gets a huge drop to 0.17x and Prima&Secunda gets 0.1x which is the same as Dres Edit: actually PrimaSecunda and Dres have the same semimajor axis so it appears this is a bug. Fore some reason Cercani has the same luminosity as Kerbol. Its supposed to have like 0.15 but then the planets are too far. The system should fit under the orbit of Eve
  19. For some reason the geometry is bellow the terrain so ships explode just before landing as if diving into jool. Some patches are safe to land on while others are far bellow ground level. If i try to plant a flag it gets placed high above the surface then explodes when i time warp. Landing legs also dont register collision so i have to cheat by enabling the usi ground tether so the ship doesnt tip over. Ive had this problem with Gus, Talin and Gene. Also some of the moons have very angular terrain with sharp angles where meshes meet.
  20. weird. id assume it switches to the KA plume. like every every waterfall config deletes the stock one so how is it still around. Also the default for me is LF when i place a new engine. What happens if you delete the patch that makes it a multimode engine(and the dynamic LH mode so it stays LF only)?
  21. It works with the Cherenkov. I made this for just restock since it doesnt have a working waterfall config by itself. i dont know what happens with kerbal atomics installed. In my game i made the LF mode use water instead and the LF plume looks quite steamy already
  22. Scatterer temporal anti aliasing is breaking it among other things. turn it off in the settings. i dont know why it even exists
