[1.12.x] Kerbal Atomics: fancy nuclear engines! (August 18, 2024)
Vrana replied to Nertea's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
With more messing around i have been able to replicate the boil off issue after all. Using KSP 1.1.2 along with CryoEngines version: Kerbal atomics version: Unsure anymore as to which one of them provided the "CryoTanks" folder. Also installed are many, many other mods: Unwanted boil off happens on following ship: http://imgur.com/6xbvwKD The ship is an old RT2 Duna comms relay which pushed some other probes/sats with it when it came to Duna. The tanks are KW tanks which have been moded by me to act as Cryo tanks. Ship is in stable orbit around Duna as visible in KER window. Unintentional boil off happens only when: a) game is at max time warp; b) ship is focused. There is no loss of fuel if i time warp while focusing another ship or in the tracking station. Ship has enough battery power to survive a full Duna sun black out. Boil off doesn't seem to happen under less then max time warp (at x10,000 or less) but happens if ship is focused and at max time warp(x100,000). It is difficult to say with certainty whether the boil-off plugin fails during max time warp or KSP fails to calculate EC consumption and ship runs out of power. But the tank interface shows "ElectricCharge deprived!" during these (split second) periods. I can provide the craft file or even the whole save game file if you want to try to collect the needed mods(i could also transfer the whole ~3.3GB gamedata folder from my install). Offhand on the ship i can see: stock, KW, CryoEngines, RT2, Coatl Aerospace, DM orbital science. -
[1.12.x] Kerbal Atomics: fancy nuclear engines! (August 18, 2024)
Vrana replied to Nertea's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
Played with Cryo and Atomic engines quite a bit in 1.1.x. Even added the boil off module to tanks from other mods with mm patches. Really heavy modded install. Never had this issue. EDIT: and i checked out the old install. Got some ships with cryo tanks in flight. Didn't notice any boil off unless i cut power. Also noticed cryo tanks mod added boil off to various tanks and not me :). I did modify said patches to extend the number of cryo tanks (prevent boil off with EC). -
Concerning the latest release - 0.5.33.127. It seems several parts are missing textures. They are: SC-D-CM Reentry Module, SC-D-LAS Launch abort system and the SC-D-SM-Service module. Other then being texture-less the parts appear fine. Can someone confirm this is actually the case and i didn't somehow fudge my install? I guess it might also be possible these parts are unfinished and this is normal, first time i am using this mod.

[1.12.x] Mark IV Spaceplane System (August 18, 2024)
Vrana replied to Nertea's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
Honestly i wouldn't worry too much about IVAs. A good IVA is a very nice thing but it is also the least important part of a part. What i am try to say is... If IVAs are a lot of work just release without them. Updating IVAs later, at a slower pace, doesn't break any craft anyway. My opinion at least. -
[1.2.2] B9 Aerospace | Release 6.2.1 (Old Thread)
Vrana replied to bac9's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
Leave them if its not too much work. I don't trust auto strutting, i tend to build crazy stuff where i ESPECIALLY don't trust auto strutting and B9 struts were always the best looking. That said... If its too much work... frack it. They aren't vital.- 4,460 replies

[1.3.0] OPT Space Plane v2.0.1 - updated 29/07/2017
Vrana replied to K.Yeon's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
You are not alone in this sentiment. I also think Blenders UI is garbage. But it does work and the alternatives are quite expensive (3D max, Maya, Lightwave3D etc...) while Blender is free. I guess there might be other professional alternatives for free nowadays but i haven't been in the modelling game for a long time. -
I am really enjoying Strategia. The Crewed and uncrewed missions make a lot of sense and really help out with finances on Hard(or above) difficulties. This or something similar should have been stock instead of the bland pointless system we have. Only thing bothering me is the "cannot have more then one crewed or uncrewed strategy active at one time" requirement. It becomes a pain once you hit interplanetary, especially if you play with something like OPM. A single interplanetary mission can easily take many years or even decades but you are tied to a single strategy this whole time. When you get to the interplanetary phase of the game the tempo of the game becomes tied to transfer windows. For example before Strategia i always used to run Eve and Duna probe programs simultaneously but it seems like Strategia wants we to do them consecutively. Of course you can just time warp and focus on a single planet at a time... Unless you play with LS mods and have an extensive infrastructure of bases and space stations setup in which case you need additional supply runs and crew rotations and... well you get it. It comes down to deciding whether to sacrifice transfer windows and being forced to do additional supply missions to existing infrastructure or sacrifice some strategies (and their rewards) and run interplanetary exploration simultaneously. Which i guess might be exactly what @nightingale wanted when he designed the system as he did. All this said i am not sure how i would change the system. Maybe allow multiple interplanetary missions but make them cost you credits upfront and increase final rewards instead of getting a significant advance as you do now? Having more then one of these strategies active would make the "failure" conditions completely pointless tough as you would need never cancel them, i guess the punishment would be not getting a return on the initial investment. Anyway.. just throwing out some thoughts, great mod.

What about station parts? Will they also become legacy?

[1.12.x] Kerbal Atomics: fancy nuclear engines! (August 18, 2024)
Vrana replied to Nertea's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
EDIT: Nevermind. After rereading it seems you are using LH2 tanks. Doesn't sound right to me. Are you sure you switched the tanks from using LH2+Oxidizer (which cryo engines use) to LH2 only (which nukes use)? If you put a nuke under a LH2+Ox tank it will still work but since it doesn't use oxidizer at all you will be hauling a lot of dead weight and end up with a worse dV then cryo engines. -
Only if you are from Liberia, Burma or USA. Rest of the world stopped using imperial units long ago (or never started). Officially at least. Also... Sorry for off topic but i couldn't resist.

You say "rocket crash on Mun" but what you really meant was "I did a Luna 2 recreation!" Welcome!

I have been thinking of using old KSO station parts. These are, without a doubt, still some of the best station parts out there. The shuttle is awesome but not "lego" enough for me. So i found myself mostly using the station parts from this mod. Thanks for the help with the cupola.
