Dragon01 also found CXAerospace's beautiful parts and we decided to combine these and find a modeller so we can finish this.Please note, by the way, that CXAerospace released his parts' sources as because can't work on them anymore. His license on the front page is not the license for the source files.This mod is the result.Currently includes:-Most Copernicus MTV parts except fuel tanks-MTV fairings-MAV fuel tanks and enginesMAV-Finish the MAV partsCopernicus -Add LOX injection mode to standard BNTR-Add fuel tanksAsimov + Kepler -frame -legsBahamutoD's Constellation Essentials Original ThreadCXAerospace Original ThreadLicense Edited March 16, 2015 by DuoDex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuoDex Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 It appears to be a compilation of patches provided in the old thread. Is this correct, or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Augustus_ Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 It appears to be a compilation of patches provided in the old thread. Is this correct, or am I missing something?I made the 1.3 parts stock-sized as well. Also you no longer require a separate download for the RO version, a ModuleManager thing that changes their size has been implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholander Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Ah, nice work! I guess I'll be using these in my RSS RealismOverhaul game.(By the way, sorry to be sort of unrelated, but I noticed in your Google Docs mod page that your KopernicusTech mods are no longer there. Are you no longer working on them? Please don't tell me that... (I really like your KopernicusTech mods! Especially OuterPlanetsPlus!)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially OuterPlanetsPlus!))Kirius is now abandoned, and OuterPlanetsPlus needs to be redone.Also in the next update I'm currently in the process of obtaining permission from BobCat to use his Orion and Altair.Dragon01 is also going to help model the MTVs and Ares so we can have as few dependencies as possible.

RobotsAndSpaceships Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 So are you adding anything to this? Or do you just want to have your name on it so you can say you maintain a mod? It's not like the old one no longer works or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobotsAndSpaceships Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 So it's just several functioning mods being bundled? I still don't see why you don't just make a new mod for it, instead of using parts from mods that still work. If the mods had stopped being compatible, it would be a different story.

Beale Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 1.4 is out! We've added some MAV parts and fairings for the MTVs.This feels familiar.I trust you have the original author's blessing this time?Also, straight up ignoring criticism and questions does not make them go away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverDude Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 ...And given the original author was just online a couple of days ago, I too would be curious if this outright rip-off of someone else's work was blessed.And yes, there seems to be a pattern evolving.

sarbian Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 And yes, there seems to be a pattern evolving.Clearly. _Augustus_ moved from a mod release every 8.6 days in February to one every 10.6 days in march (so far). One is getting lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobotsAndSpaceships Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I'd like it if you answered my question, the old mods still work perfectly fine, why is there a need to bundle them? BahatmoD is still active on the forums, and updating his mods regularly, so why not make a completely different mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kartoffelkuchen Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hi _Augustus_. It's nice to see that you are so enthusiastic, and wanting to take over mods, wanting to improve them and get them playable for the Community again. But please, think a moment about this: You've maintained now a couple of mods by others, and you gave up on all of them now. Why? You can't even make mods at all, you can't texture, you can't model, you can't write a plugin, so I ask you why you take a mod over like Bargain Rocket Parts or this one now. This one worked, and you just added a bunch of configs from Bahamutos old thread here, and "sell" it now as your brand-new maintained modpack. I have to agree with the others, you just want your name in the mod. Listen dude, why don't you just take over one mod and care for it in a proper way? Adding models, which you've made yourselves, or whatever you can all do to improve or refurbish mods. You can see now how the community reacts, and it's worth a minute of thinking how this should continue. Hopefully not like this.So, get into modding yourselves, make your own mod, but stop taking over mods you can't be able to maintain anyway. This is my opinion, and I think others share my opinion. I don't want to be rude, but really, think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecripp Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 The name besides his is a good example of that IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
