GoSlash27 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 How about we turn the oscar-B tank into a xenon fuel tank instead of the life saver?Well... the Oscar is pretty much the same size as the current "big" xenon tank, so it would be pointless.Best,-Slashy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alshain Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Ok, about them being "Silent" about this. Lets give them a bit more time to respond. Keep up the "Save the Lifesaver" campaign for sure, but it's only been 3 days so be a little patient, at least until the next DevNotes. I know it seems like an eternity, but that is just because the community seems to so vehemently opposed to this change. adjective 1. zealous; ardent; impassioned: a vehement defense; vehement enthusiasm.

Frybert Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Why are they being so silent about this????Because that's what they do now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Dilsby Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Obviously, they're being silent because they feel terrible about what they've done, and they're working 24/7 adding new parts to the release to make it up to us. I'd consider some radial-mount LF tanks in glorious golden-orange mulitlayer insulation an acceptable and appropriate gesture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnemoe Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Nooooooooooo!! That is the only tiny fuel tank.. FFS it would be so easy for Squad to just add a new texture and have both!! AAAGGGHHHHH!Yes, its not my most used tank but I sometimes use it to keep height on oscar stacks down or to add some more fuel to the 45 liters one.On the other hand I don't see any uses for the round8 tank for xenon even i I uses ion probes pretty often. I like stacks of the small xenon tanks as I use them as an tower to mount solar panels and other stuff too, unlike landers you want length, an .75 x 1.5 meter long tank hand been nice. Added downside, you can not surface mount anything on the round8If you use ions on something larger than an probe you can use the large radial tanks.

michaelhester07 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'll miss this one. Maybe i'll make a mod that keeps it.The round8 has been the cornerstone of all of my small conventional engine probe designs... for probes where I'm okay with 5000 deltaV and only needing 1 RTG to power it. It was also the core of my Hermes lander from 2013. I love that it's like someone took a tire inner tube, put some foil on it, and filled it with rocket fuel.Javascript is disabled.

Hijacking threads (or tweets, even though I don't do Twitter) is not necessary.What good is a point being made if the people adressed are not listening? After HarvesteR's controversial reply in the Devnote thread there has been complete silence on that topic. After the poll, threads, challenge and even mods there should have been at least some acknowledgment of the players' discontent with that decision. There was no reaction. Not even on Reddit. So unless they give us one, I am unwilling to let it go. So I am exploring options to make them listen.Even a final "no, we won't change it back" would be enough for me at this point.It may be a job related thing... one of my main duties is to get definitive answers from the people involved in the projects I am part of - which sometimes requires being pesky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are they being so silent about this????I too am upset about this, but hey, I don't expect them to be at work more than 8-9 hours a day, and even then they are probably very busy fulfilling their planned release date. Don't worry, there are over 100 testers that will probably also have a 70 % vote to leave it be. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it seems like an eternity, but that is just because the community seems to so vehemently opposed to this change. Agreed. We should all keep in mind that the folks at Squad aren't in the business of needlessly upsetting their customers. Had they known that the Round-8 was this popular, I highly doubt they would've taken it away and announced it like they did. I am confident that this will all be sorted out, so there's no need to get confrontational about it. Best,-Slashy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfluous J Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 It's only been 3 days. Give them a little time. In business these days, nothing is done without at least a dozen meetings.I would love to know the business meetings Max attended before casually mentioning on twitter that some sort of dV readout would be in the game, and if that meeting also outlined how nobody would ever mention it again.

Engineer of Stuff Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Guys, it's ok. You can (most likely) copy the part files of the tank from .90 over to 1.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
