Are there any good command modules/cockpit mods?
Fizzlebop Smith replied to mrneon's topic in KSP1 Mods Discussions
Are you looking for high quality as in texture? This has added some beauty to some of the older mods, though others get a bit borked. I like some weird mods that are a bit older because of a few of the parts on them but am looking through to see those that had nice command modules. ^ Beautiful Parts Pack. (Some parts in work or shown for promotional purposes) ^ Classic. I try to plug it whenever I can. Underwater Command Module and sub / ship parts. ^ The pen ultimate command module for those seeking an organic spaceflight aesthetics. (Some People do Crazy things with KOS and run entire missions from IVA) ^ Probably not what you are looking for, but the rover command module is a must have for me. It has a wonderful series of rover parts / adaptors. (Also LOVE me some Gravimoli) ^ Have not tried but has a beautiful spaceplane cockpit / Mono Prop that i really want to use. ^ For some Reason I love this strange little cockpit ^ Another older spaceplane pack that i frequently use. It has a probe core that fits the Mk-X ^ Ive been thinking of trying this one to replace the MK-x on my next career playthrough. -
NESD's warehouse (9 oct 22 - New mod "SpikeX")
Fizzlebop Smith replied to NESD's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
I tend to scroll the thread before downloading a mod for the first time. I saw this and wanted to know if i should get the mod from spacedock? I am note intiated enough to understand whether the need to update CKAN files means the mod has some minor issue if i get it from that source. I thought CKAN loaded from spacedock but i am greener that baby dooks when it comes to this stuff. -
Attempting to diminish Star Paws in the disingenuous manner was essentially seeking to establish KSA as superior endeavor. There is not need to state this explicitly.. it is implicit in volume of negativity injected into KSP related discussion while reserving lip service to a game that is as of yet untested. While I am excited to see what KSA might become, I'm not a huge fan of the RW gane I've played, but maybe this one will be different. Also.. I'm pretty sure BRUTAL could never compete with KSP. I know you said , "it's not meant to be a KSP competitor" ... but that's because it CANT. It's a custom developement utility not a game. It also cannot be a competitor to UNITY or Unreal because it is proprietary & in-house. In house? Non commercial things cannot by definition be in competition with anything outside the company infrastructure, without licensing of some sort. KSA ... however, will one day be a KSP competitor.

What are the best new release mods?
Fizzlebop Smith replied to kittyfart101's topic in KSP1 Mods Discussions
What kind of playthrough experience are you looking for? I love playing with R&D / Komplexity / ScanSAT / Cacteye Have a hard time notinfcluding these on most plays. I'm a career player though and I like the Early Game struggle. I like covering the inner system with a few dozen foray into the cosmos for deeper exploration. The sterling mods are truly beautiful and incorporate some elements I have always wanted. My favorite are the curved radial attachment parts. I have always wanted curved heat shields and solar panels. But.. there is a bit of a skewed balance in career. Powerful and Efficient parts. -
Perhaps asking in restock? If you are asking for collaborative efforts.. I landed on the runway without parachutes a couple times so it's possible.

One sentence you could say to annoy an entire fan base?

Universal Craft Loader I have often wondered if it is possible to make a mid that would allow you to download kerbal X craft that you do not have all the parts mods for. It tends to work if it's just modules missing, but sometimes it's just deprecated. In a number of cases the mod has been taken over by new management and sometimes will load.. other won't. I lack creativity... and find most of my time is spent in the VAB. It would be pretty epic of I could load up any craft ans have missing parts removed with a generic geometric place holder inserted as a means of maintain parent child relationship trees. Don't even know if it's something that can be done... I just pine for some of the craft I see there.

Sonewhere... or somewhere new? I play career only and have played science in forever or looked at sliders in a bit... but I get 0 science returns even with many missions that don't introduce me to any new biomes. I cried because my PBC probe lost all the instruments on reentry.. I kicked my self in the but bc I chose to go with something other than heat shield right before.

If KSP2 was reworked, what would you change?
Fizzlebop Smith replied to Pthigrivi's topic in KSP2 Discussion
That's what I think as well but lack the vocabulary "Each time a person logs off they are in limbo and return the the celestial clocking for the person furthest." No one care where planets are Relativite to anyone other than themselves until time to kick it. It would have to or ... that person plays without TW and covers minmus will disrupt your fuel station will one day be. It only matters *when* it matters. -- PS .. Kerbal Lives Matter Bring Mack Mission Specialists .. maybe a few more. -
A new home, an interstellar colony challenge
Fizzlebop Smith replied to Kevin_kerman's topic in KSP1 Mission Reports
I was joking about the difficulty of such a feat. Did you every accomplish Why difficulty? I was trying to see if I could find any of my sandbox saves to give some of the easier difficulties a go.- 91 replies

A new home, an interstellar colony challenge
Fizzlebop Smith replied to Kevin_kerman's topic in KSP1 Mission Reports
I am seeing this for the first time... what kind of evil psychopath devised the WHY?? challenge. When combined with the YT video, that true challenge will be watching the 72 hour burn for course corrections- 91 replies

If KSP2 was reworked, what would you change?
Fizzlebop Smith replied to Pthigrivi's topic in KSP2 Discussion
I somewhat disagree. There doesn't *need* to be any over arching casualty outside the immediate sphere of influence. I have always thought something akin to Lisias suggestion would be viable. There would be a separate clock in the Virtual Space. Upon leaving you would rationalize with your own timeline. The host or person who sends the group invite would essentially gain am SOI that impacts the world clocks. Other than that you would see a mission timer. Each time a person logs off they are in limbo and return the the celestial clocking for the person furthest. You want to track a launch window.. it tracks the days until.. but no totals. An over arching timeline where a dozen people build and mine resources at various times doesn't really work outside of a sandbox element with a lot of hand waving . Career I feel would have to focus on a different approach.. like working within Single systems, and focusing on cooperative missions or having a space race style where first to reach object wins. This would need with the aforementioned ghost mechanic. I hate time warping for more than a day. Maybe with a super long burn but it bother me. I have played career games where the goal was to establish contact with far off places and have time warped 2 years at a time. But I prefer to run a bunch of missions where I have something to do every day. So what happen if you are in my future and want to build a base on a location.. but I build there *first* .. will there be red ghost / blue ghost? Or I want to play with you, but you are super far ahead and every planned maneuver for the next five years will go out the window? It maybe rather simple in truth.. but I would think tracking multiple time lines (one for each person building) and trying to synch all that up across how ever many people will lead to some really messy errors and problems trying to rationlize.. or possible give birth to some deformed version of skynet. -
If KSP2 was reworked, what would you change?
Fizzlebop Smith replied to Pthigrivi's topic in KSP2 Discussion
A resounding amen. That really would be remarkable. Canceling out rotational speed without much experience playing the game was the second most difficult thing to learn (for me) next to rendezvous. -

Fizzlebop Smith replied to Pthigrivi's topic in KSP2 Discussion
Herbal and Mr. Kerbin have summed up much of my disappointment with the current KSP2. The bugs that are present are manageable or handled with mods (last I played). Aside from major lag due large part count / concurrent missions I would have kept playing if it were an actual game. KSP2 stripped *everything* I enjoyed about the first game. I was a proponent of making some of career option toggleable but got *slammed* any time I would suggest funds / old school procedural mission style. If there were some way to generate missions for science gains.. i would still be playing. I miss comnet, probe control, occlusion, scanning stuff, sentinel networks.. I miss a game there being a game with no wrong way to play -
On a positive note I haven't had much issues connecting to the forum in the last few days. My work load has been a beast and I have been getting to bed much earlier. I hoping the Lego Model rocket deals pave the way for a steady tangential revenue stream. I have no problem if the company branches out into other less revenue intensive ways of shoring up the Kerbal IP. There a few brands that have held a special part of my hear. While I might not particularly enjoy the direction *all* the new lore for He-Man or Dungeons and Dragons might take, I am aware and grateful that some of the cultural staples that inuenved my development are being maintained for the next generation. I would like to see the Kerbal name reach a parity of popularity of the SMURFS or Garfield. As unlikely as that may be. So I am happy that someone other than PD has acquired the rights. I fell in love with what it means to be a Kerbal. The quirky elements. Don't get me wrong, I play the game because I enjoy the physics simulation and would never have made 1000 hours without it... but the part that captured my hear were these little green frogmen.

I have a feeling it will sit for a minute and let the ill will fade. Perhaps keep the forum alive and let the new developers work on small projects that can generate revenue with the (other) IP that can most easily generate a revenue stream with the least upfront investment, while tangentially pursuing third party licensing options. This may take the form of more kerbal legos and model sets or another more experience studio making a Kerbal game. If we do see something Kerbal related on the game front, from the proposed team, I have a feeling it will be a deviation from the current scope and try to cash in on the good will of the Kerbal name with a Cute Low impact approach. Mobile Ship Racing or Steam Dog Fighting? Perhaps an approach similar to the apple 2.5 mobile space game i cannot think of at the moment. Maybe there is some hope down the road, They do have many of the art assets to reuse while starting form scratch on the code. Music and artwork sure as heck is not cheap.

Isnt that the game with the "lets pay to grind less" mentality? Purchase these suits and ships outright with real world capital or somekind of sub? I remember being super excited when i saw the trailers and some of the live play. Then i purchased then got really upset. Ill have to look up which game is not uninstalled and hidden on my library but pretty sure it was the newest dangerous series.

About KSP2 on Steam (split from another thread)
Fizzlebop Smith replied to boriz's topic in KSP2 Discussion
This is the root of the problem. The EA storefront started as away from creative indie groups to get some "steam". Pardon the pun, but this was how some genre shaking games came about when otherwise a pipe dream. Like most things involving money, it lost sight of the goalpost because of the giant piles of money. The only way to return them to an indie friendly store.. is to abandon them for one that is. Or try to create a little noise and hope someone important enough to cover it gets a stock point to drop a couple points. -
The window that the error appeared in is headed by the message to come to this thread. It is not the alt+f12 / console. But a window that opens with a standard KSP UI theme with a heading & that snippet of log. It has something to do with the (module?) pf2bodies - (I think) this is not being properly populated by the conditions . Then the config file for evelowresolution has a minimum requirement of scanning for Minmus & Mun. I have not scanned these Two bodies to the 35% requirement. The contract is being told to initiate and then conflicting because the requisites are not yet met. At least I think this is it. I do not. It is possible there is a LOC error but I've never messed with language settings. I posted what I thought was happening. That's just from me reading all the config files for scansat & the conteacts though. It is not based on an experienced troubleshooter or anything

About KSP2 on Steam (split from another thread)
Fizzlebop Smith replied to boriz's topic in KSP2 Discussion
I would like to note that efforts to get enough people tagging the game "abandoned" has succeeded. At least it shows abandoned when I go to the store page, I do not know if this is just showing "my tags" or not. Im old and steam is an evil contraption i do well to navigate most days. -
I have encountered an issue that has never happened before. It seems to be coming from SCAN SAT related to celestial bodies. This is the second time i have played a Career Save with ScanSAT and OPM. The first time lasted much longer than this play through without this issue... so now I think I must have done something else. The error that I was given told me to come to this thread and post in the error message. I have recently viewed Eve with a Telescope and opened it up as a body that I can select / see. I started playing with Research Bodies for the First time. This doesn't appear on the Github repo as a known issue and Im sure that other have played with this combination and think something else must be causing this issue with EVE / ScanSAT. Any Advice to remedy this would be greatly appreciate. I can produce a drive link with full logs if that is needed. Alternatively, I would be happy with a "Do Not Know About a FIX, but it is safe to ignore exceptions and keep playing"

Would it be possible to integrate anything with Civilian Population? Tourists that spend X number of hours doing various activities get recruited into the KSP roster. This is usually done through some things with generic civilians, but i was wondering if you could designate the "drop off" or return point to somewhere a tourist could become a civilian? I have just installed this the other day and am still on my probe phase of the project so my Tourism Contracts are all in system. I am about to build my first station soon and am starting to just dream the dream for later and was wondering if this was something anyone else ever asked? Would this be something extensive to achieve or could a patch be made to overwrite the "Kerbin" for *some* of the missions. This is just something i was wondering after hitting the VAB for my first Station. I am a long friggin way from that space casino.

[KSP 1.7.2 incl all DLC's] KSP Memory Allocation Fix
Fizzlebop Smith replied to 0x00's topic in KSP1 Tools and Applications
I get a ton of flagged software from recent mod updates. My software flags it as suspicious because of how few machines have registered containing the same code. When I look at the report it will inform me Only 6 users have ever resulted in this scanned piece of code. Apparently that is enough to be scrutinized. It's frustrating as heck when a new update rolls out for a game and I'm one pf the early ones to adopt the update. I'm not confident enough to go through and make the settings less stringent.
