Added Hydrogen and Oxygen, also tweaked charge distribution a bit so any battery/pod with low chage will get equally charged. using UnityEngine; using KSP.IO; using System.Collections.Generic; namespace PowerGenerator { public class PowerGenerator : PartModule { PartResource fuel, oxyg; public override void OnStart(PartModule.StartState state) { foreach (PartResource resource in part.Resources) { if (resource.resourceName == "Hydrogen") fuel = resource; if (resource.resourceName == "Oxygen") oxyg = resource; } } public override void OnUpdate() { if(this.vessel == FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel && this.part.isPrimary(this.vessel.parts, this.ClassID)) { if (ActivateGenerator(Events["DeactivateEvent"].active)) { double parts = CountChargeRequired(); foreach (Part part in this.vessel.parts) foreach (PartResource resource in part.Resources) if (resource.resourceName == "ElectricCharge" && (resource.amount < resource.maxAmount)) resource.amount += (0.24 / parts) * Time.deltaTime; } UpdateResources(); } } private bool ActivateGenerator(bool isActivated) { if (isActivated) { if (oxyg.amount > 0) { oxyg.amount -= 0.02 * Time.deltaTime; if (fuel.amount > 0) { fuel.amount -= 0.01 * Time.deltaTime; return true; } else return false; } else return false; } return false; } private void UpdateResources() { foreach(PartResource resource in part.Resources) { if (resource.resourceName == fuel.resourceName) resource.amount = fuel.amount; if (resource.resourceName == oxyg.resourceName) resource.amount = oxyg.amount; } } private double CountChargeRequired() { double count = 0; foreach (Part part in this.vessel.parts) foreach (PartResource resource in part.Resources) if (resource.resourceName == "ElectricCharge" && (resource.amount < resource.maxAmount)) count++; return count; } [KSPEvent(guiActive = true, guiName = "Activate Fuel Cell")] public void ActivateEvent() { ScreenMessages.PostScreenMessage("Generator : On", 5.0f, ScreenMessageStyle.UPPER_CENTER); Events["ActivateEvent"].active = false; Events["DeactivateEvent"].active = true; } [KSPEvent(guiActive = true, guiName = "Deactivate Fuel Cell", active = false)] public void DeactivateEvent() { ScreenMessages.PostScreenMessage("Generator : Off", 5.0f, ScreenMessageStyle.UPPER_CENTER); Events["ActivateEvent"].active = true; Events["DeactivateEvent"].active = false; } [KSPAction("Toggle Fuel Cell")] public void SimpleAction(KSPActionParam param) { if (param.type == KSPActionType.Activate) ActivateEvent(); else if (param.type == KSPActionType.Deactivate) DeactivateEvent(); } } } Still wondering if there is other way to manage resources instead of searching through resources with for loops.

Day Three on Fuel Cell plugin making, cleaned up my code since GeneratorProp was a bit overkill. using UnityEngine; using KSP.IO; using System.Collections.Generic; namespace PowerGenerator { public class PowerGenerator : PartModule { PartResource fuel, oxyg; public override void OnStart(PartModule.StartState state) { foreach (PartResource resource in part.Resources) { if (resource.resourceName == "LiquidFuel") fuel = resource; if (resource.resourceName == "Oxidizer") oxyg = resource; } } public override void OnUpdate() { if(this.vessel == FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel && this.part.isPrimary(this.vessel.parts, this.ClassID)) { if (ActivateGenerator(Events["DeactivateEvent"].active)) { foreach (Part part in this.vessel.parts) foreach (PartResource resource in part.Resources) if (resource.resourceName == "ElectricCharge" && (resource.amount < resource.maxAmount)) resource.amount += 0.04 * Time.deltaTime; } UpdateResources(); } } private bool ActivateGenerator(bool isActivated) { if (isActivated) { if (fuel.amount > 0) { fuel.amount -= 0.02 * Time.deltaTime; if (oxyg.amount > 0) { oxyg.amount -= 0.01 * Time.deltaTime; return true; } else return false; } else return false; } return false; } private void UpdateResources() { foreach(PartResource resource in part.Resources) { if (resource.resourceName == fuel.resourceName) resource.amount = fuel.amount; if (resource.resourceName == oxyg.resourceName) resource.amount = oxyg.amount; } } [KSPEvent(guiActive = true, guiName = "Activate Fuel Cell")] public void ActivateEvent() { ScreenMessages.PostScreenMessage("Generator : On", 5.0f, ScreenMessageStyle.UPPER_CENTER); Events["ActivateEvent"].active = false; Events["DeactivateEvent"].active = true; } [KSPEvent(guiActive = true, guiName = "Deactivate Fuel Cell", active = false)] public void DeactivateEvent() { ScreenMessages.PostScreenMessage("Generator : Off", 5.0f, ScreenMessageStyle.UPPER_CENTER); Events["ActivateEvent"].active = true; Events["DeactivateEvent"].active = false; } [KSPAction("Toggle Fuel Cell")] public void SimpleAction(KSPActionParam param) { if (param.type == KSPActionType.Activate) ActivateEvent(); else if (param.type == KSPActionType.Deactivate) DeactivateEvent(); } } } So I guess I have to add my custom resources and test them out. Is there a way to change the color of the gauge of these resources instead of green?

Finally got to simulate VERY simple fuel cell with existing resources. Still need to calculate electric charge distribution throughout the vessel. But I think it's good time to stretch my goal here now. PowerGenerator.cs using UnityEngine; using KSP.IO; using System.Collections.Generic; namespace PowerGenerator { public class PowerGenerator : PartModule { public override void OnStart(PartModule.StartState state) { } public override void OnUpdate() { if(this.vessel == FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel && this.part.isPrimary(this.vessel.parts, this.ClassID)) if(this.part.PumpFuel(Events["DeactivateEvent"].active)) { foreach (Part part in this.vessel.parts) foreach (PartResource resource in part.Resources) if (resource.resourceName == "ElectricCharge") resource.amount += 0.04 * Time.deltaTime; } } [KSPEvent(guiActive = true, guiName = "Dump Fuel")] public void ActivateEvent() { ScreenMessages.PostScreenMessage("Dumping Fuel", 5.0f, ScreenMessageStyle.UPPER_CENTER); Events["ActivateEvent"].active = false; Events["DeactivateEvent"].active = true; } [KSPEvent(guiActive = true, guiName = "Stop Dump", active = false)] public void DeactivateEvent() { ScreenMessages.PostScreenMessage("Stopped Dumping", 5.0f, ScreenMessageStyle.UPPER_CENTER); Events["ActivateEvent"].active = true; Events["DeactivateEvent"].active = false; } } } GeneratorProp.cs using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using UnityEngine; namespace PowerGenerator { public static class GeneratorProp { public static bool PumpFuel(this Part part, bool isActivated) { if (isActivated) { foreach (PartResource resource in part.Resources) { if (resource.resourceName == "LiquidFuel") { if (resource.amount > 0) resource.amount -= 0.02 * Time.deltaTime; else return false; } else if (resource.resourceName == "Oxidizer") { if(resource.amount > 0) resource.amount -= 0.01 * Time.deltaTime; } } return true; } return false; } public static bool isPrimary(this Part checkPart, List<Part> parts, int partModuleID) { foreach(Part part in parts) { if (part.Modules.Contains(partModuleID)) if (part == checkPart) return true; } return false; } } } Going to stretch my goal to add my own resource(ie. Hydrogen and Oxygen) then simulate fuel cell from it.

One more thing I found out, whenever I try to test my fuel tank with command pod attached to it, it throws NullReferenceException, so I tested another ship without my part, didn't throw any NullReferenceException. So for sure it comes from my plugin. But I'm not sure where it's coming from. I pretty much deleted any unused varibales and nothing in my code is being referenced as NULL so gotta figure out where it's coming from. EDIT : Well, turns out it was KSP's bug switching scene directly from Spacecenter to Flight. I've tried switching view from Editor to Flight, NullRefereceException wasn't thrown so good to know my plugin works without any problems. Just for the sake of logging, here is the part where it throws Exception.

Alright, so I've added ElectricChage to my .cfg file as one of my RESOURCE, turns out, KSP cannot take extra resource in the cfg, causing the entire model in VAB to grow infinite size. Only two resources available in .cfg, think I have to find detour on power generating. I'm thinking since I can use 2 resources at least, modify them and simulate them as if they were drawn by the generator, then add some electric charges to whatever part that takes electric charges.

Been testing multiple ways to dump fuel through plugin, and three methods so far. try { // Method 1, direct change. foreach (PartResource resource in part.Resources) if (resource.resourceName == "LiquidFuel") { resource.amount = 50; if (resource.amount == 50) { Debug.Log("Method 1 Worked!"); resource.amount = resource.maxAmount; } else Debug.Log("Method 1 failed!"); } } catch(MissingReferenceException e) { Debug.Log("Cannot use this Method 1!"); } try { // Method 2, uses fuel object to change amount and sends it back to actual resource foreach (PartResource resource in part.Resources) if (resource.resourceName == "LiquidFuel") { fuel = resource; fuel.amount = 50; resource.amount = fuel.amount; if (resource.amount == 50) { Debug.Log("Method 2 workd!"); resource.amount = resource.maxAmount; } else Debug.Log("Method 2 failed!"); } } catch (MissingReferenceException e) { Debug.Log("Cannot use this Method 2!"); } // Method 3, this for sure works as it goes through entire vessel foreach(Part part in vessel.parts) foreach(PartResource resource in part.Resources) { if (resource.resourceName == "LiquidFuel") { fuel = resource; fuel.amount = 50; resource.amount = fuel.amount; Debug.Log("Force changed resource: " + fuel.name + ", " + resource.amount); } Debug.Log("resource info : " + resource.name + " Contains : " + resource.resourceName + ", " + resource.amount + ", " + resource.maxAmount); } So figured out you can directly change the fuel amount through this, so I guess I can use this to add up the electrical chage throughout the ship. Well, onward to figure out how to send resources throughout the ship.

Oh yes, I've read about part/partless plugins. Think I know how to code it. Though I'm still not cleared on how resource structures are made in KSP, so gonna take bit more time tweaking around on it.

So far I have wrote // Used to store multiple resources (IF there is more than one) List<ModResource> resources; public PartResource fuel; public override void OnStart(PartModule.StartState state) { // Create empty list of Modifed resources resources = new List<ModResource>(); // If there are at least one resource in this part if(this.part.Resources.Count > 0) { // For each resources, get PartResource and it's parent part foreach(PartResource resource in this.part.Resources) { resources.Add(new ModResource(resource, this.part)); } } // Below deprecated fuel = new PartResource(); fuel.SetInfo(new PartResourceDefinition("LiquidFuel")); foreach(PartResource resource in part.Resources) { if(resource is PartResource && (resource.GetInfo() == fuel.GetInfo())) { fuel.amount = resource.amount; fuel.maxAmount = resource.maxAmount; break; } } } Then I questioned myself if it is possible to use this modified resource object to control actual fuel tank??

Will it be possible to manage resources in separate classes/variables? Like, using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using UnityEngine; using KSP.IO; namespace PowerGenerator { public class ModResource { private string name; private float amount; public ModResource(string name, float amount) { } public ModResource(PartResource resource, float amount) { name = resource.name; this.amount = amount; } } } Then mabye you can create separate object for resource that handles amount and type easily and apply it to lower level methods(ie. RequestFuel)?

Well for now I'm making things with existing resources so I can get an idea of how resources are handled in a plugin. At the end, I'd like to stretch my goal to a fuel cell plugin that simulates Hydrogen and Oxygen reaction. Maybe I can still use existing ModuleGenerator and just change the input and output, but I don't know, I want to simulate more things like waste management and sort of things.

So I've tried part.RequestFuel(part, 0.05f, (uint)part.ClassID); Part is part itself, 0.05f as amount, and part.ClassID as request ID, but didn't work. Do I use this method when I actually receive fuel?

4 Fuel tanks attached on a command pod, dumping fuel individually so far. So to dump fuel, use RequestResoure(), then how do I actually acquire fuel from other tanks? I see RequestResource() and RequestFuel(). Looks like RequestFuel() has another parameter to check request ID, then how am I to call this request ID from other tanks?

Day Two on Mod making, tidy things up and made it to work (single fuel tank it is) I found this.vessel.parts. Think I can store all the same type of parts(ie. my fuel tank) as a List, use them to balance each other. Question is, how can I identify these parts from other parts? Power Generator code (Changed so I can stretch my goals) using UnityEngine; using KSP.IO; using System.Collections; namespace PowerGenerator { public class PowerGenerator : PartModule { public override void OnUpdate() { this.part.PumpFuel(Events["DeactivateEvent"].active); } [KSPEvent(guiActive = true, guiName = "Dump Fuel")] public void ActivateEvent() { ScreenMessages.PostScreenMessage("Dumping Fuel", 5.0f, ScreenMessageStyle.UPPER_CENTER); Events["ActivateEvent"].active = false; Events["DeactivateEvent"].active = true; } [KSPEvent(guiActive = true, guiName = "Stop Dump", active = false)] public void DeactivateEvent() { ScreenMessages.PostScreenMessage("Stopped Dumping", 5.0f, ScreenMessageStyle.UPPER_CENTER); Events["ActivateEvent"].active = true; Events["DeactivateEvent"].active = false; } } } Generator property code - using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using UnityEngine; namespace PowerGenerator { public static class GeneratorProp { public static void PumpFuel(this Part part, bool isActivated) { if (isActivated) part.RequestResource("LiquidFuel", 0.05f); } } }

Thanks for the code, I'll look into it Reason for adding a right-click option is to make this fuel dumping plugin turn into a generator (Liquid Fuel -> Electricity) So far I have tried radial attaching(4 fuel tanks), and each fuel tank works as expected. However, is there a way to balance these fuel tanks so they dump liquid fuel equally? (Crossfeeing without fuel lines that is) Code so far using UnityEngine; using FirstPlugIn.Extensions; using KSP.IO; using System.Collections; namespace FirstPlugIn { public class FirstPlugIn : PartModule { public static Rect windowPos = new Rect(); // Made a window private GUIStyle windowStyle, labelStyle; private bool hasInitStyle = false; [KSPEvent(guiActive = true, guiName = "Dump Fuel")] public void ActivateEvent() { ScreenMessages.PostScreenMessage("Dumping Fuel", 5.0f, ScreenMessageStyle.UPPER_CENTER); Events["ActivateEvent"].active = false; Events["DeactivateEvent"].active = true; } [KSPEvent(guiActive = true, guiName = "Stop Dump", active = false)] public void DeactivateEvent() { ScreenMessages.PostScreenMessage("Stopped Dumping", 5.0f, ScreenMessageStyle.UPPER_CENTER); Events["ActivateEvent"].active = true; Events["DeactivateEvent"].active = false; } public override void OnStart(StartState state) { if (state != StartState.Editor) { if (!hasInitStyle) InitStyles(); RenderingManager.AddToPostDrawQueue(0, OnDraw); } } public override void OnUpdate() { if(this.vessel == FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel) { this.rigidbody.AddRelativeForce(Vector3.up * 1000f * FlightInputHandler.state.mainThrottle); if(Events["DeactivateEvent"].active) { part.RequestResource("LiquidFuel", 1); } } } private void OnDraw() { if (this.vessel == FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel && this.part.IsPrimary(this.vessel.Parts, this.ClassID)) { windowPos = GUILayout.Window(10, windowPos, OnWindow, "Hello World!", windowStyle); if(windowPos.x == 0f && windowPos.y == 0f) { windowPos = windowPos.CenterScreen(); } } } private void OnWindow(int windowID) { GUILayout.BeginHorizontal(); GUILayout.Label("Hello World! This is a Label", labelStyle); GUILayout.EndHorizontal(); GUI.DragWindow(); } private void InitStyles() { windowStyle = new GUIStyle(HighLogic.Skin.window); windowStyle.fixedWidth = 250f; labelStyle = new GUIStyle(HighLogic.Skin.label); labelStyle.stretchWidth = true; hasInitStyle = true; } public override void OnSave(ConfigNode node) { if (this.vessel == FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel) { PluginConfiguration config = PluginConfiguration.CreateForType<FirstPlugIn>(); config.SetValue("Window Position", windowPos); config.save(); } } public override void OnLoad(ConfigNode node) { PluginConfiguration config = PluginConfiguration.CreateForType<FirstPlugIn>(); config.load(); windowPos = config.GetValue<Rect>("Window Position"); } } } Think I should move that GUI sample to separate module. It's getting messy

So instead of working with right-click option, I decided to look into resource management first. I've been reading through Mu's 0.15 code update, and found out about part.RequestResource method. So on the Update method, I added RequestResource method to 'request' fuel on every frame. using UnityEngine; using FirstPlugIn.Extensions; using KSP.IO; namespace FirstPlugIn { public class FirstPlugIn : PartModule { public static Rect windowPos = new Rect(); // Made a window private GUIStyle windowStyle, labelStyle; private bool hasInitStyle = false; private PartResourceDefinition fuel; private FuelTank ft; [KSPEvent(guiActive = true, guiName = "Dump Fuel")] public void ActivateEvent() { ScreenMessages.PostScreenMessage("Dumping Fuel", 5.0f, ScreenMessageStyle.UPPER_CENTER); Events["ActivateEvent"].active = false; Events["DeactivateEvent"].active = true; } [KSPEvent(guiActive = true, guiName = "Stop", active = false)] public void DeactivateEvent() { ScreenMessages.PostScreenMessage("Stopped Dumping", 5.0f, ScreenMessageStyle.UPPER_CENTER); Events["ActivateEvent"].active = true; Events["DeactivateEvent"].active = false; } public override void OnStart(StartState state) { if (state != StartState.Editor) { if (!hasInitStyle) InitStyles(); RenderingManager.AddToPostDrawQueue(0, OnDraw); foreach(Part part in vessel.parts) { if (part is FuelTank) ft = (FuelTank)part; } // Dead Code fuel = new PartResourceDefinition("LiquidFuel"); } } public override void OnUpdate() { if(this.vessel == FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel) { this.rigidbody.AddRelativeForce(Vector3.up * 1000f * FlightInputHandler.state.mainThrottle); // Just a silly code to see if it flies part.RequestResource("LiquidFuel", 1); // Request 1 unit of fuel from(or to) somewhere I don't know. } } private void OnDraw() { if (this.vessel == FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel && this.part.IsPrimary(this.vessel.Parts, this.ClassID)) { windowPos = GUILayout.Window(10, windowPos, OnWindow, "Hello World!", windowStyle); if(windowPos.x == 0f && windowPos.y == 0f) { windowPos = windowPos.CenterScreen(); } } } private void OnWindow(int windowID) { GUILayout.BeginHorizontal(); GUILayout.Label("Hello World! This is a Label", labelStyle); GUILayout.EndHorizontal(); GUI.DragWindow(); } private void InitStyles() { windowStyle = new GUIStyle(HighLogic.Skin.window); windowStyle.fixedWidth = 250f; labelStyle = new GUIStyle(HighLogic.Skin.label); labelStyle.stretchWidth = true; hasInitStyle = true; } public override void OnSave(ConfigNode node) { if (this.vessel == FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel) { PluginConfiguration config = PluginConfiguration.CreateForType<FirstPlugIn>(); config.SetValue("Window Position", windowPos); config.save(); } } public override void OnLoad(ConfigNode node) { PluginConfiguration config = PluginConfiguration.CreateForType<FirstPlugIn>(); config.load(); windowPos = config.GetValue<Rect>("Window Position"); } } } Question now is, will it work with multiple same fuel tanks and crossfeed each other? (For balancing purpose that is)

So I looked into my .cfg file, Originally, had RESOURCE outside of MODULE, but now I see other people's .cfg files including RESOURCE inside of MODULE. So I guess I'll have to change my .cfg to MODULE { name=FirstPlugIn RESOURCE { name = LiquidFuel amount = 540 maxAmount = 540 } RESOURCE { name = Oxidizer amount = 660 maxAmount = 660 } } Something like this and call the resource via plugin?

Alright, so I found PartResource and PartResourceDefinition. I guess PartResrouce is the actual resource, but don't know if it is pointting the liquid fuel. Guess I have to use PartResourceDefinision to use PartResource????

6 years of JAVA coding, think I understand C# now. But still a bummer on plugin making, so why not make this thread useful? My current objective is; make a fuel tank that drains(dump) liquid fuel. using UnityEngine; using FirstPlugIn.Extensions; using KSP.IO; namespace FirstPlugIn { public class FirstPlugIn : PartModule { public static Rect windowPos = new Rect(); // Made a window private GUIStyle windowStyle, labelStyle; private bool hasInitStyle = false; private double fuel; // Saves fuel amount in tank. [KSPEvent(guiActive = true, guiName = "Dump Fuel")] public void ActivateEvent() { ScreenMessages.PostScreenMessage("Dumping Fuel", 5.0f, ScreenMessageStyle.UPPER_CENTER); Events["ActivateEvent"].active = false; Events["DeactivateEvent"].active = true; } [KSPEvent(guiActive = true, guiName = "Stop", active = false)] public void DeactivateEvent() { ScreenMessages.PostScreenMessage("Stopped Dumping", 5.0f, ScreenMessageStyle.UPPER_CENTER); Events["ActivateEvent"].active = true; Events["DeactivateEvent"].active = false; } public override void OnStart(StartState state) { if (state != StartState.Editor) { if (!hasInitStyle) InitStyles(); RenderingManager.AddToPostDrawQueue(0, OnDraw); fuel = this.vessel.GetActiveResource(new PartResourceDefinition("LiquidFuel")).amount; } } public override void OnUpdate() { if(this.vessel == FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel) { this.rigidbody.AddRelativeForce(Vector3.up * 1000f * FlightInputHandler.state.mainThrottle); if(Events["ActivateEvent"].active) { if (fuel >= 0) fuel--; this.vessel.GetActiveResource(new PartResourceDefinition("LiquidFuel")).amount = fuel; Debug.Log(this.vessel.GetActiveResource(new PartResourceDefinition("LiquidFuel")).amount); } } } private void OnDraw() { if (this.vessel == FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel && this.part.IsPrimary(this.vessel.Parts, this.ClassID)) { windowPos = GUILayout.Window(10, windowPos, OnWindow, "Hello World!", windowStyle); if(windowPos.x == 0f && windowPos.y == 0f) { windowPos = windowPos.CenterScreen(); } } } private void OnWindow(int windowID) { GUILayout.BeginHorizontal(); GUILayout.Label("Hello World! This is a Label", labelStyle); GUILayout.EndHorizontal(); GUI.DragWindow(); } private void InitStyles() { windowStyle = new GUIStyle(HighLogic.Skin.window); windowStyle.fixedWidth = 250f; labelStyle = new GUIStyle(HighLogic.Skin.label); labelStyle.stretchWidth = true; hasInitStyle = true; } public override void OnSave(ConfigNode node) { if (this.vessel == FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel) { PluginConfiguration config = PluginConfiguration.CreateForType<FirstPlugIn>(); config.SetValue("Window Position", windowPos); config.save(); } } public override void OnLoad(ConfigNode node) { PluginConfiguration config = PluginConfiguration.CreateForType<FirstPlugIn>(); config.load(); windowPos = config.GetValue<Rect>("Window Position"); } } } Had an idea of storing fuel amount when start, then use this value to chage the fuel amount on update. Expected output is to display the text "Dumping Fuel" and "Stopped Dumping", as well as drain the fuel from the tank too. Text display works, but when I check the fuel gauge, it remains still. Am I using a wrong resource method?

Docking port trick for the construction rover, why you so hard Is it just me or the new KAS version...I can set the winch to undocked then when I retract the wire, it goes back to locked. Hmmm...

I never said this was STS style. Plain old shuttle style. Bring back reusable parts(Including kerbals) back to the Kerbin. No wonder I named it CTV instead of STS right Though that is some pretty sweet near-STS.

Oh I forgot to upload this one ~_~

Unless you want your Kerbals to live forever in the space, scheduled rotation of space station crews are important. The first Crew Transfer Vehicle, the CTV-0XX missions, used Mk. 1-2 Command Pod, which used regular launch vehicle. After up to CTV-003 mission, new vehicle was made, which had lengthy before lift-off procedures and after circularize procedures. Named CTV-1XX, this one flied up to CTV-105 mission. Although CTV-1XX had landing gears, it landed via parachute. Landing gear was there to prevent destruction of any shuttle parts. To shorten the lift-off procedures and circularize procedure, new CTV was made, CTV-2XX; the finalized version. Two mods were used to make this vehicle; KW Rocketry and MechJeb2. 3 liquid fuel engines are used with 3 shuttle main engine. Booster stage is similar to Delta IV Heavy configuration. 2 Radial engines are to be used as Orbital Maneuvering System Engine. The shuttle itself can generate Delta-V of ~5600m/s, to balance the shuttle itself during ascent. Just like real-world aircraft and spaceships, CTV-2XX has checklist before lift-off, during ascent, and after circularize. Shuttle main engines are slightly angled, which means once you reach your desired orbit, you must declare MECO and shut them down. For re-entry, shuttle uses two OMS Engines. Fuel tanks on top of the shuttle are used for OMS Engines. For descent and landing, it's manual; or you can use auto-land I guess?! I admit. I'm not a good pilot.

Of course I had to take a pic of this (Shhhh.... you can click to enlarge) And for those who might ask how does it look like from outside

Well I tried launching 3 satellites on one launch vehicle, and I quickly figured out that each time you decouple your payload, satellite's vector changes, causing change in a flight path. So I'd rather launch each satellite with individual launch vehicles. And I do understand that the satellite is very lightweight, but do understand that you do not have to pay for your launch fee for this mission, meaning your income will be higher than previous mission package. Reason launch vehicles being capable of sending heavy payloads are because it was designed to send manned spaceships and heavy payloads for future space station mission. For the upcoming two missions, yes, payload will be small, but no, that does not mean we are going to waste our launch vehicles for future missions.

It seems we have first top 5 on mission package 1 Well, Mission Package 2 is coming soon so be sure to keep those rocket designs. You are going to use them for Mission Package 2. Oh and don't forget that you will be doing Mission Package 2 with whatever final profit made from Mission Package 1.
