RainDreamer Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Since I use MFT anyway, I am not very concerned with the change. Can always fill whatever tank I want with whatever fuel I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaporo Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I almost never used that thing anyways, except when I tried to build an Apollo replica. Maybe I'll actually use it, now that it's a xenon tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flayer Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Why not go all the way and allow players to choose what kind of fuel they want to put in whichever tank they like? XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I've been wanting a bigger xenon tank since ions got buffed in 0.23.5, for me at least losing the LFO version of the Round8 is a small price to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n.b.z. Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I don't use the Round-8 often, but when I do, it is because there is no alternative and it is absolutely needed.I fail to see how it is "redundant with the Oscar-Tank, except in terms of design". Other than being a fuel tank, it has nothing in common with the Oscar. Sure, both hold only a "small" amount of fuel when you consider the entire range of existing tanks. But when you are building something small, it makes a huge difference that one of these tanks holds almost twice the fuel than the other, and has a completely different form factor.Both tanks are needed and complement each other just fine. I am not disputing that a larger xenon tank would be nice, but pretty please don't take the Round-8 away.I will try to illustrate my point in The ROUND-8 Memorial Thread later today.

GoSlash27 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The round-8 is my primary ascent stage tank for munar landers. I'll miss it if they take it away.Best,-Slashy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cicatrix Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I don't care as long as SQUAD makes bigger Xenon tanks. Anyway, I'm not using Round8 very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Iron Crown Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Time to engage in more shameless advertising for Near Future Technologies I'm mostly a stock parts guy so that's not hugely relevant for me. Beautiful models, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostOblivion Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I absolutely HATE the idea of making it a Xenon tank, as it would make all my Mk1 Lander Can + 2x ROUND8 re-ascent stage obsolete.Squad should make it have two resources, Liquid Fuel AND Xenon, so that the player may choose to empty the Liquid Fuel and fill up with Xenon.

ddenis Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Toroidal tank is a crusual part of my 2 stage landers. It gives ability to build it cimpact.What would I do without it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technical Ben Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 In fact. It was the only contender for heat shielded lander cans for 1.0. Can, round 8 and heat shield with some engines and you have a dragon pod. If the new parts don't allow this, I'll mod the old one back in and call it "better than Stock!"

One-Way Films Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Darn. You can't remove that part from the LFO family! It's my life ring and I can safely say that it's saved a few of my Lander designs more than once. it is their game though so if they want to change it, so be it. I voted to keep it, but it's the Developers' choice in the end. They've made it this far without any major mistakes. They'll do the right thing wether they change the texture or the fuel.

pincushionman Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) OK, Squad, you took away our go-to low-profile little-bit-more-fuel inline LFO tank, because Xenon needed a bigger inline tank. What you gonna give us in return? How about some low-profile little-bit-more-fuel RADIAL LFO tanks? Like in the 20- to 30-unit (total LF+O) range.

temporalExile Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The round 8 is an amazing piece of engineering! Its incredibility useful for aesthetics and functionality. Also, We have whack job on our side (He's probably in it for the noodle rockets) so be afraid?In all seriousness, while I would welcome a 1.25 meter xenon tank (along with some engines and reactor *wink wink nudge nudge*), I see no reason why we have to axe this wonderful part. Thankfully, it isn't set in stone yet. There have been several times when Squad has made a decision that we don't like, and they listened to us. Why should this instance be any different?

wolfedg Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) How about making the Oscar B tank able to be attached radially instead of having to waste a monoprop tank to do it. Also more on topic my vote is no, leave it as LFO, unless you want to make a new slightly different tank for the xenon.

Wahgineer Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 As stated earlier, why not both? just make a copy of the Round8, retexture it, change it from LFO to Xe, then rename it. It would probably take 10 minutes max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenfire32 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I personally couldn't care less. I was never able to get the stupid tank to work anyway (fuel never drained from it) so the whole thing is pretty "meh" in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thousands of hours in and I have yet to encounter that issue.. Fact is, Squad shouldn't remove a well liked part if replacing it takes about 10 minutes. Come on Squad! the community have spoken!

SpenSpaceCorp Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 While I don't use it in the majority of my crafts, it definitely has come in handy when a craft needed a smallish amount of fuel to be carried-without adding the Oscar or another larger tank.
