    Our thoughts on KerbalStuff's closure

    in 2016

    It’s probably time to wrap up this post, but we couldn’t possibly do that before thanking Sircmpwn for his efforts that undoubtedly benefited the community. Maintaining a service like KerbalStuff is both costly and time consuming, and not many people would step up to do what Sircmpwn did. Thank you.

    Currently the KSP community is already working on an alternative website (working name SpaceDock) based on the open source framework of Kerbalstuff. We hope that this new website will fill a void for many people. At the moment of writing it does not seem to be the case that Sircmpwn will allow this new team to use the KerbalStuff name, domain registration or user and mod database. That means the website will largely have to start over, but if help is needed we’re ready to look at ways in which we could support it. Meanwhile people are free to upload and share mods from any source they wish; we can happily recommend Curse for this purpose, at the very least as a stopgap measure.

    Thanks again to Sircmpwn and Majiir for running this amazing website, an even bigger thanks to our amazing modding community and the best wishes to the team picking up where KerbalStuff left off.

    Squad probably could have just said this and I would be ok with it. I'm actually glad this is happening because community run mod repositories set up a new chance to improve on what issues we had before. Maybe this time if the team running spacedock.info gets a little weary on their motives we can support them by understanding their issues more clearly. Until then, lets be honest this was bound to happen sooner or later.

    Blender modeling help

    So I am using blender and I need help merging these vertices, but keep in mind I want the wing which you can barely see on the other side to be a mirror of this one. I know that there is another easy way to make an airplane by adding a mirror module or something. That is something I am not very interested in since I am so far into this model already. What are your suggestions is there an easy way to attach these because I am having trouble.

    nice!

    I'd love to know what tools you used and how you did things like panning past the ISS in orbit. I've never made a cinematic, I'd be interesting to hear the perspective of a first timer.

    Its funny, I used camera tools and you have to play with the mod a bit to get the intended affect, if you see a split second normal view its because of my sloppy editing.

    I like it, but not my choice of music however, that's just a bigoted option you can ignore.

    I hope nobody was on-board when your MIR was de-orbited. :)

    R.I.P. Stacy, we'll miss you.

    Thank you so much! It means so much to hear that so early. Don't mind the influence of the music, with recent events in my life There is bound to be better days.

    By the way it was an ISS

    I'm an engineering student, and from a technical standpoint its an a amazing thing. To design something without restrictions or to what restrictions you want to challenge yourself mentally. The game has really brightened my interest in aerodynamic engineering more than anything else because watching a 50 ton modified booster rocket with wings fly and rip itself is one of the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

    Opinions on 1.0 release

    in KSP1 Discussion

    Posted

    First of all let me say I am so excited for the final release of 1.0.

    The final release seems to be fitting of the basics we require for the game and what lacks thereof can be accommodated with mods. What I don't like is this:

    "This has only been made possible by the astounding, incredible support we have gotten from you all. Consider everything that will come after 1.0 as our way of saying thank you, for believing in our crazy little rocket-launching game, for supporting us through four incredible years, for sticking with us all the way here, and in advance already for staying around for 1.0 and beyond."

    I'm ok with the finished product but what I'm not ok with is anything after 1.0 being under-developed and ill-thought out. This will likely not be an issue but if it is then I will be angered in the Squads development if anything post 1.0.

    What do you think?

    Pandora's ISV Venture Star (adjusted)

    in KSP1 Mods Discussions

    Posted · Edited by Explorator

    You know that ship from pandora that brought the humans to make a profit off unobtainium? That would be pretty cool, but I'm not particularly interested in the interstellar part of the ship. I'm really interested in the basis of a transport vehicle that carries two ssto vehicles, not much else about it.

    more info as follows at this link:

    edit 1: there is aparently a valkarie which is the ssto from the ship here

    ISS: Good or Bad?

    The ISS has pretty much in my opinion run its course in terms of science capacity. It should be decommissioned, but not in the way MIR was by the Russians. Maybe a International orbital Space museum could begin to run its course. Yes the maintenance would be somewhat odd but it would be the first orbital museum. Ever.
