I've seen those actually... Edit: Btw, on our previous note- http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/75734-WIP-023-%28ARM-Compatible%29-Kerbal-Mechanics-Parts-can-now-fail%21

But wouldn't a docking port that would allow the ring to essentially go "in" it have to be larger than at least said ring?

It was more underfunding due to actual lack of funds (the soviet economy has never been knows as good) rather than "a soviet tendency to do things on the cheap". There was also the stress of having to race with the US, who at the time were at a considerable lead. Also Korolev (the chief designer/leader of the project) died about a year after the N1 project begun and the whole thing got really derailed by a rather incompetent Mishin... But yeah, N1's engines are actually quite good and are seeing use even today!

Thanks, reentry and landing is still to be tested though... And we all remember what happened with the first Orca shuttle...

That and my recent delving in the ROS components has given me an odd idea... Can a stock-alike docking port be made such as to "interlock" with the clamp-o-trons? What I mean is for it to mate around the clamp-o-tron's outer ring, kinda like the Soyuz docking mechanism...

Plugin doesn't work with the latest version of KSP (0.23.5)...

I would actually welcome that... There was a thread on random failures and all that stuff some time ago. Don't know if it actually went anywhere besides "oh yeah, that'd be cool..."

The N1 was ridiculous, Lack...

Neat. On that note, has anyone tried Quantum strutting an asteroid?

Lazor and NP work fine. Note that I've stripped my NP folder of most things, leaving only a couple engines and some tanks that I use, so I can't speak for all things...

This is really tossing a rabid squirrel at my shuttle, satellite and asteroid capture development... Oh well... *Gets bear mace*

Since I've begun mine own little "replica ISS" thing... I can't wait for your PMA!

Might I suggest you tackle a proper internal for the HL cockpit next?

There's an unofficial "patch" to make it work...

Everyone and their freaking grandma has a Mac over here in the UK...

So I switched my MM to 2.0.1 and now a bunch of stuff isn't working... My main personal MM file which adds compatibility to a couple oldish parts and some compatibility between a couple mods pretty much just gets ignored... Did the new version make older commands obsolete?

Hmm... So I removed all my mods besides this capsule and it still had the issue. I then put all my modlist back, removing only the launchpads thing and the issue now seems to have gone away... I'm royally confused...

I loaded KSP with only stock parts and your thing... Still being weird on unpack...

Soo... Good luck...

I said "main" modules, didn't I? That excludes the mating adapters (Pirs, Passvet and Poisk). Both Salyut and Mir are also based around the original TKS/FGB frame (the Mir itself being derived from the Salyut). And yes, right now there is only one designated FGB (not TKS, the TKS is a separate type of craft) docked with the ISS, that being Zarya. But that doesn't mean the other Russian modules aren't based around the same common frame. Much like most of the USOS (US Orbital Segment), whose modules also share a common design.

(I'm guessing you're referring to the booster bug) Yes, a lot of mods. But none that would mess with how and when engines are turned on. The boosters engage as the vessel unpacks onto the launchpad, rather than right after, which makes me think there's something wrong with how the game handles what module of the capsule comes on when... Perhaps with the engine modules' animation? Also, looking at the part's file, fx_exhaustFlame_yellow_tiny = 0,0,0,0,0,0, running Shouldn't this be under "node definitions". @Joe 2.0, Again, you're missing my point. The STS has a standard "bridge" cockpit design/layout. With panels on the dashboard and on the ceiling above the windows, much like any modern aircraft. As for the windows- the same applies to the shuttle's cockpit as it applies to a regular capsule (and any high-flying aircraft). Having a bubble-type layout would simply be impractical. I'm not sure why you're even arguing with me since we both share the same opinion- a "bridge" design for the IVA would be awesome.

So, I bring you the long in-development OSS Orca, property or Cabana Corp. Still undergoing crew-training simulations, it's maiden flight will be tomorrow!

Oooooh... I get it now...

For some reason most of the RealChute chutes don't always show up in VAB/SPH...

A grid with windows would be fine for a low/mid altitude plane in real life. But when your capsule needs to be able to endure the G-forces of ascent and reentry, not to mention the strains of space, you better go with something more sturdy...
